Prednisone Solution after beating the original game?

[haze1103]

I am in the middle of Deep Caverns, and while I am able to craft Supersoldier Drug now, I was wondering if I would be able to keep crafting more after beating the boss of the area, or if I should farm as many as I can now. I'm on an LMG build, so my bullets are somewhat limited before I need to go and finish the game.

As far as I remember, for most other DC components, I can just go back and harvest more, but I'm not sure about the Prednisone, as it's harvested from the brains of the creatures in Hollow Earth.

You need to farm them here.  There is at least one outside of DC somewhere (can't remember), but basically just DC.

AFAIK the only other place is Tchortist Bio vendor, if you have enough mercantile to get special merchandise, he sells it rarely.

It is a shame you can't get more post DC, say if you chose to do HD after the main quest.

I always do Deep Caverns before DLCs by principle, though with 10th year exp changes, I still ended up level 27 before Tchort.

I've never done HD, so I don't know how much hard encounters I can expect, but I'll make 25 supersoldier drugs for both Expedition and HD and live with it. Hopefully I don't need more than like, 10.

By the way, I am correct that you can go back and farm the other DC components, right?

You can go back to DC, but you won't find any more brains.

HD is as hard as it gets.  I was popping SSDs for every fight, but like you I made a ton of them first.

As far as I remember, monsters dropping Prednisone in Hollow Earth can still respawn while you're stuck in Deep Caverns, so farming at this point is perfectly feasible. However, after you defeat the final boss of this area, the endgame event will begin. Therefore, the answer is: Farm now. Good luck with your LMG!
