Halfcoordinated actually runs all new games that requires a lot of movement. From the top of my head I can remember he runs Vanquish, Nier: Automata, Transformers: Devastation and Momodora. Look him up, he's an awesome runner.

If it's a problem with weapon swap glitch, you can run Current Patch, it's a category that doesn't use WSG.

I don't think so. I know of halfcoordinated, he is a speedrunner that runs using one hand and he is on the same leaderboards as everyone else.

But NG+ means "play the game again with what you have from a previous run". In any other game, NG+ includes all the unlockables that you have. So I don't think here needs to be different.

Right now there is no difference between NG and NG+.

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

Thanks for the reply!

On the first life you can easily kill the first mid-boss (I did it, and that's how I found out that you don't get the blueprint when he dies if you don't have the shop open). But I think it will be very hard to kill the boss. Even with 3+ on defense, the enemies on the 6th floor were taking almost half my life with one hit. Without any upgrades it could be a 2 hit death. Maybe killing the mid-boss without the store open, then die on the 4th floor and use that money to upgrade damage and defense could be a good strategy. I'm going to try it.

Do you know how much it gives when you don't use the god? I know it's some kind of percentage, but I'm not sure how much. Maybe it's not that useful.

Yes, I think the second jump is a must. It makes some platform sections a lot faster.

I found some really good strategies for the bosses with the Redneck's weapons. For the mid-boss, you can use the dynamite to destroy the sarcophagus in one hit each. Then just use the ability and the shotgun for some rapid fire. For the last boss, wait for his "earthquake" attack, then run under him and use the dynamite. Just be careful when he gets his hands again. Or, if you are lucky, you can get the Rocket Launcher before the boss. It makes it even easier.

Btw, something that I didn't mention, I avoid all scrolls. I think that some of the bad ones can kill a good run. Maybe you can pick all scrolls and just kys when you get a really bad one. But I can't think of a scroll that gives a really good trait that it would be worth picking up on this kind of run.

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!
