God of Machines Farming Guide

God of Machines is one of the 6 Trials of the Gods you encounter once reaching Torchlight Infinites Endgame, The Netherrealm. This mechanic spawns waves of increasingly difficult enemies that you must defeat before they reach the statue. Failing to do so ends the encounter and awards loot based on how much of the encounter you managed to complete. You can alter the encounter with the Void Chart Constellation, allowing you to spawn drones that will directly attack the statue but have a large multiplier to plane-exclusive Fluorescent Memories such as Immolating Flame.

Mechanics

The goal of God of Machines is to protect the statue from the oncoming waves of enemies. There are 2 additional checkpoints you can reach, at which point you need to re-activate the statue to continue. At the end of the third wave, defeat any bosses spawned and collect your loot. If the monsters reach and destroy your statue, the encounter ends and you receive any lot gathered up to that point.

Drones are unique to the God of Machines. With Star Talents and Confusion Cards you can choose to exclusively farm these, sacrificing all the loot that would drop from the statue to encounter increase their drop rate.

The Drones, have a large multiplier to zone exclusive Fluorescent Memories such as Cocooned Flame. As of Frozen Canvas this is the best mechanic for target farming these Fluorescent Memories.

Void Chart Constellation

The God of Machines Void Chart is split into several different paths, each granting separate bonuses, focusing on Priceless Gear, Drones and making the encounter easier to complete;

• 1. 15 Star Talents grant a total of a 100% chance for God of Machines to appear in your Netherrealm Stages. These are a good, free method to guarantee the encounter and can be used to free up a compass slot if necessary.
• 2/7. Many of the Medium Star Talents alter the difficulty of the encounter;
  • Reduce the interval of each monster wave to 1 second. Making the encounter much faster.
  • The Damage taken by attacking monsters is increased by 15% and 20%.
• 4/8. Many of the remaining Medium Star Talents grant additional Drop quantity at the start of each round.
• 5. This path focuses entirely on Drones by reducing all the loot dropped by the statue by 100%. With the remaining nodes granting additional Drop Quantity for Drones and spawning more of them at the start of each round.
  • Drones have a large multiplier to exclusive Fluorescent Memory drops.
• 6. This path grants 100% chance for Gear to be Priceless, and for Non-Legendary Gear to be duplicated.
• The Micro nodes grant one of the following stats;
  • +% Chance for God of Machines to appear in Netherrealm Stages.
  • +0.6% increased number of monsters attacking.
  • +0.6% increased Reward Progress gained from attacking monsters.
  • +1% chance to have 1 additional attack round.

Chaos Cards

There are 6 unique Confusion Cards related to the God of Machines mechanic;

• Dull - Machine; +1% chance for attacking monsters to drop 1 additional plane-exclusive Fluorescent Memory.
• Rigid - Machine; Encounter 1 Wealthy Mechanical Boxer every round.
• Obstinate - Machine; The chance for Non-Legendary gear dropped to have 2 base affixes is increased by 17%/10%/7%
• Obtuse - Machine; Drones have +180%/90% drop quantity.
• Paranoid - Machine; +12%/8% chance to have 1 additional attack round.
• Conservative - Machine; +30%/20% additional Drop Quantity.

Enhancement Compasses

The Enhancement Compasses are the final way to alter the mechanic in your Netherrealm Stages, there are 3 to choose from. Importantly; multiple God of Machines Enhancement compasses of a different rarity can be used together.

• Mechanical Compass - Guarantees the encounter in your stages whilst giving a minor buff to monster HP. A good option if you want to use God of Might but need to save 15 Star Talents.
• Brilliant Mechanical Compass - This compass massively buffs the loot dropped from the Statue of Might whilst granting mobs and additional 30% HP. This effect does not effect Drones and should never be used with the Medium Star Talent that reduces God of Might Drop Quantity by 100%.
• Cruising Mechanical Compass - This compass triples the Drop Quantity of Drones during God of Machines, whilst granting monsters an additional 70% HP. This compass combined with Fluorescent Memory compasses, and confusion cards is the best method in the game to farm plane-exclusive Fluorescent Memories.

Summary

• God of Machines is one of the 4 Trials of the Gods you encounter once you reach the Netherrealm.
• Protect the Statue of Machines from increasingly difficult waves of enemies to earn rewards.
