Oh man, this is with the snowbullet item, right?

Had a run where I had the corsair and balloon gun synergy, which gave it double damage, plus the fat bullet, alpha bullet, and snow bullet items.

It was absolutely silly. I'd fire three corsair shots in a room and watch these bullets turn into giant yellow blobs that filled the screen and killed anything it touched instantly.

Made for the easiest bullet hell run ever lol

All of the basic heart container passives are considered C, B and A-level items. I think today I got the Heart Locket in a red chest.

I have a run with clone and like 7-8 hearts and the blood fountain activated. I'd feel confident in going into Bullet Hell but my best gun is still my starting sword. C'mon game c'mon :(

After getting all achievements except for one, i'm struggling trying to come up with interesting things to do in the game add to my cheat table that could make the game more fun, aside from boring things like "be invulnerable" "kill everything instantly forever" and "maybe aim for me, it's the last thing aside from walking i have to do myself"


I might try to make a script to ignore the DPS cap, like the makeshift cannon and yari launcher do, but on all weapons. May be a worthwhile and/or fun effort. Let's see how powerful certain item combinations can really get :getin:

It does about 1200~ damage apparently, meanwhile the old king has an absurd 3333 health, as much as the main portion of the dragun fight.

i immediately also fought the kill pillars who i have seen all over two other times and they immediately clotheslined me (with a speck of health health left)

The Rad Gun is actually S-tier once you realize you can just reload it 4-6 times before you go to the next room.

That's a crazy amount of HP for a floor 2.5 boss.

How do you guys deal with ammo into bullet hell?

I've gotten there three times and each time I was basically totally out of ammo for my decent guns, the one time I got to the lich I got a lucky ammo box. It's crazy!

You can plink down weaker enemies with your basic gun if needed. Also, figuring out when Bullet Hell is about to loop you around by paying attention to the mini-map will allow you to skip rooms.

Laughing wildly. I finally beat Lich! I didn't really know his pattern at all so I facetanked almost everything. Turns out having literally a billion heart containers lets you damage race him.

I'll get good at the fight one day, today just wasn't that day.

is there any reason to do the oubliette or beat the old king more than once? I mean besides the free armor in the oubliette is there anything else really worth it?

Oub is worth going into if possible since the extra money helps with the rest of the run and overall it's pretty easy.

The Abbey is worth skipping unless if you're trying to get to Brother Albern in order to get Lies or the items in his chest. The Old King is a tanky and annoying boss.

It's usually worth it to do both every time. For the oubliette you get an extra floor's worth of money, another chance to find something good in the shop or to get special rooms, extra drops from clearing all those floors (so extra chances at keys), two extra chests if you can scrounge up the keys for them and a boss reward. That costs two keys, which means depending on your luck you might have to leave some chests on floor 1. My rule is to go to the oubliette unless it means leaving a red or a black chest. Leaving a green chest hurts but that's pretty rare. With the boss reward you're really only losing one key, the other is being traded for the boss item.

Going down to the Abbey costs nothing extra unless the crest is behind a locked door. If you're good enough to get the crest to the altar then you should clear the Abbey since it's a lot more stuff for free.

No more waves, everything spawns instantly upon entering the room. Maybe some player damage up to compensate.

I looked up this clone you guys keep talking about. So does the clone itself also get carried over into your next run; ie: your run can go on forever until you win or die in the past?

It basically just gives you a new run when you die, once, and you carry over every item from the previous one.

Yes, what I meant was, does "every item" include the clone itself? ie: if you die on your second run, do you still have the clone, which lets you go on to a third run, and so on?
