Hi!

So, the rules say that you need to beat the first pyramid before you can use any powerup, but if you are playing NG+ you have powerups on that you can't equip off.

I think we need to change the rules to accept all upgrades and stuff, because right now there isn't much difference with NG.

EDIT: Maybe add a rule saying you can't use trinkets to spawn in the middle of the Pyramid

Hi!

I'm new in speedrunning and I want to start with this game. Since there are no guides or Any% runs, I'm making my own.

I tested a few things. First, you can't get the blueprint for the medallion of the first mid-boss if you don't have the shop open. So, to play it safe, you would need to open the shop before fighting the first mid-boss. You can still try and do the whole pyramid in one go, but you are not going to save that much (because you wouldn't get to upgrade the damage). Also, if you die, it's definitely a dead run.

Second, the amount of gold needed to open the store is 1840. You need to buy damage, then 3 levels of defense and then the store. You can get enough money if you farm the second floor and avoid the boss room on the third. I actually got it in the third floor without farming the second, but I got a really bad first floor. Once you get the gold, just die.

And third, the most important thing to buy is the damage. I'm still not sure if any of the God's favors are useful in this run. I finished the first pyramid only upgrading damage, but it was getting kinda hard on the last floor. Maybe we'll need to buy some defense and some health upgrades. I think that a 25lvl damage and a 10 lvl defense will be good for the second pyramid boss. I still don't know if I can get enough gold with the second mid-boss to buy that and the medallion to skip half the pyramid.

Anyway, I don't know if anyone is interested in Any%, but I'll be making a few anotations on the next days, so feel free to use them or add more!
