So yeah, defeated Gargos in Challeging and got the message that i got the stage bla bla.
Problem is its still locked. What to do?
I think it’s bugged. I unlocked it during the beta and was told that it would stay unlocked. It’s locked again and hasn’t changed.
Keep trying heard some say they got it on the 2nd or 3rd try
Oh well. Here we go again.
I’ve beaten gargos like 3 times now since the beta (grants i only play on normal, but that shouldn’t matter should it?) and I still dont have the astral plane.
Also this has been catching my eye and making it twitch. For some reason when you have your curser on certain characters you can see a faint pad lock on others but they are still selectable. I’ve seen the lock on Kim Wu, tusk, and shago. Eyedol is still Locke i get that, but what’s up with that other stuff?
You can’t unlock astral plane on normal difficulty.
Certain characters can’t be on the same team due to story reasons. For example: There is a story event for Kan Ra where he fights Kim Wu, but if Kim Wu is on your team that wouldn’t make sense.
Luckily beating that event once will remove that restriction from future playthroughs.
My team is typically riptor, saberwulf, and fulgore or arbiter or cinder or raam
So how do you unlock astral plane?
You must defeat Gargos on challenging or harder.
You play Arbiter, that’s good, you know how overshield makes you immune to projectiles? this also applies to Gargos’s minions. spend meter on overshield and use the guardian that gives you armour; then you should have a easier time against Gagros.
You can also try doing the infinite meter item on Fulgore to spam devastation beam, but Gargos tries to counter that strategy.
Saberwulf’s eclipse is good when a Gargos minion is behind you.
I don’t play Cinder or Raam so I don’t have tips for them.

I’m just scared to play on challenging. I’m not what you would call a pro. Usually I go in with Riptor and own the store. Love my Dino she’s the best.

Challenging is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve played all the way through challenging, beating all 4 of the omens, and found out while fighting gargos and getting him to the danger state with multiple characters, that not only Is he ridiculously hard, but he also regenerates his red health bar all the way after u kill him! I’ve been told that if u do a heavy attack as he’s about to regenerate, he’ll only get it up to like 35% but it’s still bs. They really need to do something about this.

Is there any possibility of @developers lowering the unlock criteria for astral plan to normal. I’m gunna be honest here, I will probably never play challenging or godlike, because I have no interest to be poned on an astronomical level.
I would also like to know why. Everything we unlocked in beta was supposed to carry over, then we find out the huge item everyone wanted had it striped away from them and hid behind criteria that is insane. I was stoked to win on normal, but I wont be able to win on the harder levels.

Here’s a quick question for those that the astral plane is staying locked: after the unlock are you going into a separate mode to try it out, just exiting the game after the unlock, playing online afterwards, etc? I’m wondering if the issue is that it doesn’t automatically save after the unlock so if you exit and reboot the game without doing something else that would force a save if it’s just not saving. I had it lock back on me, but today I just unlocked it again and went immediately into a ranked game, and now it’s showing up as unlocked every time I start the game up.
Challenging its easy. Just pick a grabber and dont give space to gargos. Spam command grab on his wake up and he would be rekt. My team was hisako, orchid and rash. I beat him only with hisako, spamming the command grab.

I went to exibhition after unlocking it and it was still locked. But i had a crash to desktop. Now i dont remember if the crash happened after or before the exibhition game.
I feel you there man. I feel the exact same way, except I actually have tried to make my way through challenging numerous times only to be beaten by gargos when he regenerates. You don’t know how hard I raged when I killed him with multiple characters only to have him come back from the dead and trash me lol.
The Astral Plane’s is Ridiculously Hard to Unlock. Unlocking Shadow Tiger Lair from beating Shadow Jago was easier then this. At least with Shago once you got up to him you could try again and again and again but with Gargos it is 3 strikes and you’re out then you have to start all over again just to get back to him.

They need to do something about it man…Especially for the people who already had it unlocked. I’ve had this game since day one 2013, and this is the first time I’ve ever been angry about something in the game.

You know you can do a “boss rush” on it by ending your turns early? That’s what I did. I only fought Omens along the way in order to weaken him, and then fought Gargos again.
That dose not always work every time because some times by skipping day’s the Omen decides not to spawn and just give’s Gargos the buff and then other time’s Two Gargos will spawn on the same day and you can only fight one.
You can always split your forces & take them on separately…assign your best guy to one omen and the other 2 that you’re not so good with to the other.
