Unlocks a character "Mask of the red death" extremely powerful and fast, starts with evolved axe as a weapon.

Anyone here kill Death yet?

I thought maybe just a strong character with heavy Laurel, since I noticed once that Laurel let me move briefly but apparently there's a whole technique:

Thanks for posting.

a) Looks like I could do this all day (just as I post this, a second and third death snuck into my alcove and the shields couldn't hold anymore at 37:23, but I killed at least two of them already).
b) nice!

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

So Green Death can potentially spawn at the 8 minute mark and the 12 minute mark. I had one round where he triggered my Revive but I got my revenge with a Rosary pick-up. And then he showed up four minutes later again :argh:

But I've finally completed the new map with full Curse. I dropped the birds in favor for something more impact early on, because the green skeletons kept killing me. The final minute with the big golem pals was pretty yikes, but the maxed Attractorb got me enough red orbs to stay alive*.


And I tested it again with Garlic, but that didn't make that last minute safer.

The dairy factory is actually one of Dracula's many front-assets

- able to get passive income from selling dairy products
- can launder victims money through factory "enhancements" (no one needs this much factory floor space for "dairy")
- cows for snacks when he just wants to stay home and not go actively hunting

pentagram plus crown is aggressively awful, I love it

edit: holy lmao the upgrade makes stupid noises and is even uglier than OG pentagram (also it makes more gems appear and attractorbs the entire map when it procs so it might actually be good?)

lmao the upgraded pentagram is stupid

Like, it's easy to trivialize this game into "yeah just stand there and dick around on your phone until you level up"
But this amplifies that to absurd heights
I'm gaining 2 levels every 15 seconds... doing nothing.

e:
also weird behavior--
I started a library run to try the upgraded pentagram, and I only got one book spawn, but it gave me arrows on the hud pointing me to both the book and the mask. Has not happened since.

Also I think the upgraded thunder ring fires faster now
And the new weapon changes the music, so that's neat

e2:
lmao what is the point of this new map???
Gold farming? I guess? Maybe???

press the 'show guides' button in game

also new character has built in cool down bonus of a pretty hefty 30% (ie. twice Arca's max), if you were using her

Garden level has the... urn? flowerpot? enemies that drop a homing 10 gold coin on death, which is unique to that stage

Which...
I held up, with garlic + bible + song + attractorb, lawnmowing everything in my path, and got 1500 gold (also no bonus gold on that stage for clearing it lol) which is... pretty bad!
But otherwise I have no idea what the point is.
Testing ground for weapons would be an idea, but there's only one chest in the level, so that's out, too.

If you live to 21 minutes on the stage there's entire screens of flowerpots for a full minute. With the new character and Clock Lance/Laurel/Tome it's not that hard to survive the bunch of Deaths, -75% cooldown is insanely good.

Upgraded Pentagram will autocollect every gem every time it fires so you can skip Attractorb if that's the way you go. You only get one chest though so only one evolved item. I went with Song + Runetracer for the actual damage dealing bits, worked really well.
