Experiment
Records.

These are documented observations from pushing Heroes of Hammerwatch II far beyond ordinary progression. They are records—not promises, official limits, or instructions—and may change between game versions.

Experimental finding

This page records what happened in NateBera's game. Treat the numbers as evidence from one extreme save state, not as a confirmed universal cap.

Record 01 · progression anomaly

The level 3,932 XP wall.

At level 3,932, the experience bar continued accumulating XP but stopped producing another level. The displayed experience rose far beyond 100%—shown here at approximately 1.15 billion of 90.32 million, or 1,275%—while the character remained level 3,932.

  1. 01
    Leveling appears to stop

    The character remains at level 3,932 even after earning enough XP for multiple additional levels.

  2. 02
    Experience still accumulates

    XP is not frozen. The stored amount and percentage continue increasing beyond the normal 100% threshold.

  3. 03
    The interface shows a higher level-cap figure

    The tooltip displays “Level cap: 4385,” yet the observed character did not advance past 3,932. That mismatch may indicate a bug, another hidden limit, or an extreme-value calculation issue.

  4. 04
    Status: unresolved

    This is the highest level NateBera has reached so far. More testing is needed before calling level 3,932 a definitive cap.

What this means: if your XP percentage climbs above 100% without a level-up at this range, the XP is still being recorded—the level transition itself appears to have stopped. Back up your profile before experimenting with extreme progression.

Record 02 · confirmed working

Automatic roster rotation.

This method selects a chosen position in the multiplayer roster. That character becomes the most recently used top-left character, shifting the earlier cards by one position. Repeating the process makes the chosen position contain a different character each cycle, granting one NG per cycle across the selected group.

  1. 01
    Why the first attempt failed

    The old script reused the calibrated final-slot position in both multiplayer and Singleplayer. After joining embera, the chosen character had already moved to top-left, so clicking the final slot locally selected the wrong character.

  2. 02
    The working fix

    The multiplayer join uses the saved rotation location. After leaving and relaunching, the local Singleplayer character screen always selects automatic top-left. That second top-left selection ensures the same character walks through the exit and receives the NG level.

  3. 03
    Choose the character mode

    Press F4. Choose 1 for Automatic top-left or 2 for Rotation location.

  4. 04
    Choose the rotation size

    In Rotation mode, hover over the multiplayer roster position that ends the group and press Ctrl + Alt + 3. Position 3 rotates the first three characters, position 5 the first five, and the final position the entire roster.

  5. 05
    Calculate repeats

    Total cycles = included characters × NG wanted per character. For three characters gaining 10 NG each, choose 30 cycles with F7.

  6. 06
    Return to normal mode

    Press F4 again and choose 1 · Automatic top-left.

Release status: roster rotation has been confirmed working and is included in the main NateBera NG Ascension download.
