Nice job on that scarecrow fight 👍👍

Just a reminder to do your boss rush blueprints. “Wish” mutation is obtained from the third boss rush challenge. The reason I bring this up again is, when you got the kill door after fractured shrines, and found a new ice bow, you could have left it there, re selected mutations, dropped ammo and picked up wish (makes the next pickup legendary). Would be a free legendary ice bow. Wish makes kill doors and timed doors so much more valuable, since you can see a few options ahead of time and guarantee you get a decent legendary. 👍

Relieved to hear you acknowledge the mistake when you recycled Hokutos bow with a DoT build. Can confirm that was indeed the correct play lol

While I wouldn’t recommend taking ammo at all with the ice crossbow, I would suggest you take barbed tips first. Better to get damage out of the arrows you do shoot, rather than taking twice as long to fire twice as many arrows that don’t do any damage. FYI, you can use the homunculus rune (launch your goo body from your head) to grab things out of poison. It also does DoT to enemies you stick it on. Very cheesy way for dealing with enemies below 4BC

Predator is a great brutality mutation that will cause those dart guys to lose aggro and give you enough time to jump up to them and kill them without getting shot at. Promise it will become your new favorite brutality mutation. And for heavens sake, ground pound that shiny thing in front of merchants. It’s driving me crazy lol

You definitely can and should say no to legendary weapons if they’re not good for your build. Tactics in particular has zero synergy with melee weapons. It has no mutations that help and even worse, the frantic sword needs you to be below half HP to be useful. Tactics has the smallest health pool by quite a bit. So 50% hp is much less hp than if you were running survival with a legendary frantic sword. Hence why you died in 2 hits from a fatbat. You live and learn. Hey btw there is a great survival mutation hidden in the transition room between prison quarters and toxic sewers. When you drop down after going through the door, hug the left wall and you’ll find a secret passage.

Damn so close! If you ever have mutations you can afford to drop for hand of the king (in this case no mercy and crows feet), take masochist or vengeance (or both) as masochist will make spikes a minor inconvenience and vengeance will let you take a beating and dish it back out. You’re definitely getting close to 4BC and then the struggle truly begins… muwhahahaha

Couple things, machete and pistol (even legendary) is considered a melee weapon. Pets do not count as a deployed skill (only turrets). You can verify when you receive a damage buff, as there will be a sword icon over your head. Another tip, armadillo pack is always a great option for any color build if you have a shield in your bag (or even if you don’t and plan to buy one). A parry shield, for example, on a tactics build, is capable of MASSIVE parry damage when you roll through projectiles or enemy bombs (the slug enemies that drop bombs on death will be a weapon of mass destruction). I’ve even killed draculas first phase on 5BC with only 3 rolls of armadillo pack… it’s 👌. The reason it’s so good is, while the BASE damage doesn’t scale up on the shield unless you’re running survival, any parry effects will do full damage. Edit: just finished the video, glad to see you take armadillo pack. It’s easily my most picked mutation.

Trash Quest music? peak

You can make a pretty good Micky mouse

There is in fact a poison crossbow. It’s called the alchemic carbine and the blueprint is hidden in the ancient sewers (if I recall correctly). Look for a line of bushes in the walls. It’s single handed and great to put in the backpack for acrobatipack to give you damage on your main weapon (assuming you have a +80% damage to poison affix).

I can confirm after using the ice crossbow for the first time myself yesterday (I probably have over 200 hours in the game lol 🤷‍♂️), frostbite with barbed tips is actually not bad, provided you only use the primary fire (secondary fire will pull the arrows out and cancel your barbed tips). This might be the only weapon in the game that actually gets damage value out of frostbite since it can keep a single target frozen almost indefinitely. It’s trash against bosses though so I can really only see it being useable in the first few biomes. I would prioritize barbed tips over frostbite assuming you’re running tactics with it, since the damage will be much greater overall. (Btw, for clarification, colorless mutations will scale with your highest scroll count. So frostbite does in fact scale, it’s just not very useful damage wise for most builds)

fun fact, the crossbow shoots fast :)

Nice vid

don’t ever take necromancy unless you’re running survival. The amount of health you get back (particularly with tactics, which has a minuscule health total) is basically zero. Acrobatipack is an S tier tactics mutation that you still haven’t even tried for some reason. It lets you shoot 2 ranged weapons at the same time after rolling. That means you can put the extra ranged weapon you’re carrying in your main slot that you ain’t using at all, get some use out of it, and still carry a shield. 👍👍 For weapons like lightning, fire blast, magic bow (any weapon where you are planted in place for a long time), you can throw those in your pack and fire them off at the speed of any weapon you are using and maintain your ability to move.

Pollo power is one of if not the strongest tactics skill in the game. Definitely not garbage.

Rough runs. Don’t let them get to you, you’re trying things you’re not comfortable with and losses are to be expected. You just need to put in a lot more runs. If you’re feeling tilted, bring down the boss cells count and do boss rush mode (I believe the 3rd door in boss rush is final unlock). Good unlocks there. Make sure you do the daily runs as well. You need to complete 10 (on 10 different days) to obtain all rewards.

Gg my friend 💪🔥

You should’ve swapped mutations before hand of the king. Melee and frostbite did absolutely nothing for you in that fight. I had a feeling frostbite was going to lose this run lol. Vengeance and emergency triage are fantastic mutations for bosses regardless of build. Vengeance grants you massive damage reduction to prevent you from getting combo’d to death and emergency triage allows you to get heals off, since HoTK doesn’t have many long windows to heal normally.

were i put the code?

Fractured shrines actually has a food shop. Don’t forget if you’re going there and have the money to refill your health flask and HP to do so.

For the bell tower key, there is a puzzle including those bells you can hit in the clock tower. Apparently, there is an order in which those bells have to be hit (I think it is in ascending order pitch-wise) and that gives you the key to get the blueprint that is locked away.

I’m gonna go ahead and break down the math on frostbite for you in the hopes that you’ll actually listen to why it’s so bad. At the point you take it, you have Melee mutation (off color, so not scaling up), slowing for .5 seconds. You then take frostbite which states 60dps (damage per second). Since your melee is only lasting .5, we take half of 60. So frostbite will be doing 30 dps per stack. Even if at 5 stacks (max freeze damage), we are looking at 150 dps. Your cross at that point is doing almost 4000 dps. That’s the base dps with crit. Since it has self poison and +80% to poisoned targets, we will add that 3200 dps. So your cross is doing 7200 dps, while frostbite is doing 150 (again at max, which is likely never since targets will be dead from you weapons long before that happens)… please please please stop defaulting to what you think is good and consider that your perception is not accurate. I’m not trying to tell you how to play, but if your goal is to actually get to 5 BC, you need to consider the advice I’m trying to share. Networking and ammo should be your 2 mutations with that cross and, personally I would’ve ditched the 2nd weapon in favor of a shield (but do you)

Tip of the day, block timing and roll timing are one and the same 11:40. If you can roll you can parry

So there is a route you can take, now that you are at 3 BC, in which you must collect all the gardener keys in promenade, go to ramparts->graveyard->forgotten sepulcher and find the hidden moonflower keys (accessed by using gardener keys) and then ending the route at high peak castle, where you will find 3 hidden doors which will give you a blueprint.

Btw, frostbite is absolutely the worst mutation in the game. Unless you have a build that can apply freeze to a bunch of enemies quickly (preferably with the 2x freeze duration and increased slowdown after freeze), the damage is basically zero. Wouldn’t ever recommend using it with Melee mutation as your weapon is going to kill most enemies before you get any sort of meaningful damage from frostbite. Predator meanwhile is the most OP mutation for any melee brutality build as it will allow you to walk right up to enemies and kill them before they ever react.

Some facts about starfury. It’s from terraria, which is why it has the stiff animations. While it is a brutality/tactics scaling weapon, you should use it primarily with tactics. Specifically, the networking mutation causes the stars to connect enemies in the area, effectively turning it into an AoE weapon. If you can get the legendary version, it drops twice as many stars. Combine this with Point Blank mutation to do increased damage at close range with ranged attacks (stars) and you’ve got a very effective all around weapon. You can get the Wish mutation from doing the 2nd stage of boss rush mode, which will force the next pickup to become legendary. You can also get a few blueprints from doing the daily times runs (so make sure you are getting those done. You just need to beat the boss, takes 5 minutes tops a day)

Ravagers (big green guys) and werewolves are 100x easier if you just parry. Their attacks are designed to catch you on your rolls and combo you to death. Stand your ground and parry when they charge. 3 BC is your last chance to learn to parry as once you get to 4 you will no longer be able to isolate enemies to learn the windows.

You’ll never have 10k gold for that outfit on prison quarters. You’re meant to break the door down and take it. My advice is to clear the prison first. Then grab it and leave

cool idea for a level

This game looks really fun 🙌😄. I like the old school pixel design but updated with lighting effects and stuff like that.

So with cursed biomes, you don’t get increased resources, you get increased levels on the gear (weapons and skills). So when you went to ossuary and only checked a single shop and didn’t use up all the free rerolls to see more gear, you completely threw away the entire reason to go to a cursed biome. All the risk, no reward. But you made it through so 👍😅👍

Magic bow in the backpack with the mutation acrobatipack will change your opinion on magic bow 👌😉 P.S. interact with the shiny thing in front of shop keepers 🤫

Todays tip; A level 1 catalyst provides the same bonus as a level 10 catalyst. It’s purely poison on melee attacks. The amount of damage the poison does scales entirely on your scroll count. Primarily, catalyst is used to apply poison for the ‘+80% damage on poisoned targets’ affix you can get on your weapons. Likewise, the Ice bows primary function is to freeze, so attempting to increase its damage, either through off color scrolls or upgrading is really a waste of resources, as the damage increase is negligible. It becomes very important to understand the difference between damage dealing weapons and skills, which do require scrolls and upgrades to scale, and utility pick ups which are as effective at any level (freezing, stunning, rooting pickups, as well as many shields). All you really get from higher levels of the latter are an increased number of affixes, which are typically not useful anyways on utility pick ups.

I can confirm that 1-1 was not originally like that

Keep going!

: D

Now that you’ve reached 3 BC, I would recommend you stop upgrading skills and weapons for no reason. The cards, for example, don’t offer much benefit from upgrading. The only thing you should upgrade is your main weapon. You’re going to need the gold to buy potion refills (20k gold) and food.

Way to clutch that out. My heart stopped when you almost jumped into the spikes at the end though 😅

Nice job!!

What is the course code?

It often helps to dodge away from oven knights (the ones with the big axe) as it means their second attack cant reach you. Also dont be afraid to rely on your skills and just stand somewhere safe to let them recharge

Geometry Dashers: *TRIGGERED!!!*

Hokutos bow is a bit misleading, it adds a large chunk of damage to any source of damage to the marked target, which can happen every .5 seconds. The mark will not proc damage on its own. It’s especially good if you can apply a damage over time to the target, as this will proc the bows damage as often as possible. If you’re very lucky you can get poison shot on the bow itself, but typically I would throw it in my backpack and take acrobatipack while mainhanding a damage overtime weapon (alchemic carbine, firebrand, throwing knives, etc). In this builds case, you could take frostbite to apply a DoT with the ice bow, which would trigger Hokutos.

They need an option for leaderboards between friends

I know it’s a favorite for new players, it was mine as well when I got my first win, but you gotta retire that frost blast. It quickly becomes one of the worst weapons in the game as you climb boss cells. Shields become almost required as they make some of the hardest hitting enemies (and bosses) completely useless. The giant enemies with the swords, for example, are some of the most predictable and easy enemies to completely negate with a single parry. Think about shields like this, if you can dodge roll an attack, you could have just parried instead. My advice is to run survival and take the mutation that heals when you parry melee attacks and just take it slow and learn every enemy’s parry window. Coming around to shields was the single biggest game changer that got me out of 2 BC. Keep at it, enjoying watching your journey!

im gonna say, that music slaps, what's it called?
