I came here before playing the stage for the first time, then thought “nah let’s do it without youtube”. I had great relics so thought I’d be good. Holy shit, the dude nukes. My whole squad was dead (2 healers + saria and skalter couldn’t out-heal the dmg) and I looked at my life points, I had 13 HP with 12 enemies left (boss still alive). I summoned almighty Myrtle to block the boss on the last tile, then didn’t have enough DP to deploy texalter. Somehow Myrtle survived a few seconds and texalter finally came to the rescue and delivered the killing blow. I won’t be letting him escape the top left corner next time, lol.
Well that was a painful surprise on Calamity Faceoff, and with the boss buff as well from the debuff artifact... I placed my Chalter and S2 Goldenglow there and they died immediately before even activating Chalter skill when the boss spawned, I didn't realize the boss actually attacks since it seemed to be just afking for you.
Thank you. I was lucky with my run and got a great combination of ops & collectibles, resulting in a perfect run. Wish I recorded it. Bagpipe S3 solo'ed the boss at topright corner.
Looked this up as I was getting to this boss for the first time. I saw you had multiple healers...I made it there with Nearl as my only healer....managed to beat it though. Newer units on these older levels will do WORK. W-alter and Texas alter FTW.
You won't get any chanse to kill him after passing upper left corner as he moves very slowly and he will kill all your operators before he passes to bottom left corner. I tried to kill him in upper right corner but he killed my 2 damagers before coming to point where I wanted to kill him. So I spent my attempt for free, it was very sad. Next time I will try to kill him in upper left corner as on video. The main trouble in reaching this stage because you will fail many tries just trying to get to 2 needed encounters. So every reaching this stage is like a piece of cake. Good luck!
I just accidentally encountered this mf and he managed to kill me with literally no ho left, the bar was empty and I had nothing to place, so close. So damn close.
I have a question: i have cleared 3 previous endings but before this boss release. Do i need to recomplete all three previous bosses, or i am just unlucky to not get these 2 encounters?
Go to 'Crimson Exhibition' → 'Longevity Box' → 'Dusty Remnant (the last part)' and find the first two collectables 'Dance of the Condemned (No. 204)' and 'Act 1 (No. 205)'. There are descriptions about how to unlock those two collectables. I forgot the details, but I think you have to clear "The Point of No Return" one more time.
Is there any way I can get those 8% atk boost collectible or is it purely rng? In my collection area it shows that I've unlocked them but I've never been able to get those. Is the probability related to the ending you choose?
Sort of. The other day, I didn't have SilverAsh, then Playwright killed all my operators. Thank goodness I got the 'Excessiveness' with 30 lifepoints. 'Use' your lifepoints properly. XD
My preferred strategy would be to let the first wave of Winterwisp Blood Shamans enter the blue gate without resistance. With the massive DP saved in the phase, hopefully you can deploy all your big guns in the top left corner and kill the Playwright. *And then* you can leisurely form up before the blue gate to prepare for the remaining mooks.

I immediately felt a pain in my chest when I saw Elysium get the bladedance buff
Can you imagine the bladedance buff on Thermal-EX? XD

The music is another level
i accidentally triggered the secret ending and am pissing myself mid run
no aspd or any similar kind of relics
just +ops HP - enemy HP here
Thanks for this! Was nice to have Pozy S3M3 solokill the boss with the two ranged tiles up there.

"Easy guide"
Game dabs on me & refuses to give the last event/ encounter for the 4th ending in 20+ runs.
*INHALES PROFUSELY*
Omg same. I’m trying to grind this ending, but 10 runs in and no prison encounter, I’m slowly loosing hope.

Finally get here and I mess it up 😭
Had a stacked squad with nice artifacts too but it wasn't meant to be...

Thanks for the guide, maybe another example for when one can't oneshot the boss in like 2s might be more instructive though :D

Leon, Surtr + chen can replace Sa + chen for ambushing playwright?
Yes, and prepare Thermal-EX if you have a position for it.
@@Leon-Arknights And to gain access to Playwright, is it a must to kill big sad lock + mouthpiece?
Not sure, but I think so
@@Leon-Arknights Sayuna said just 1 ending to access 😳
@@adamtaurus7013 i don't think so, cuz i havent kill both of them yet, but i got playwright ending
i was a moment to late.. tried the same strat and ended up getting fucked up..
Thank you

Not, pure rng my friend
This is not a good plan, anyone who can't kill the boss in 5 seconds is completely unprepared.
