Am I going to regret this? Plus prison tips for new players.

[@splodys]

Dude give us more content related to shattered pixel dungeon with challenges please ! You seem to know your stuff a lot I'd love to see how you tackle challenges in the current version! Thanks for the videos!

[@runningfromcake]

Sounds good! after this relaxing run I may do 9 challenges again because I've been getting requests for that.

[@l-ee-666]

hey Mr Cake, you helped me get my first win after like 5 years of playing on and off!! I did it with ease and a bunch of my consumables left that I thought I'd need. I did it on warden, tbh I can't stop playing warden haha. I've gotten most of what I know through your videos. your videos are awesome and I hope you get more subscribers because you deserve it. thanks 🎉

[@runningfromcake]

Congrats!! Thanks for the nice comment :)

7:15 The fire plant also works, activate it by throwing an object

[@runningfromcake]

ah yeah I forgot about that!

[@chongli297]

Really nice illustration of how tossing a few SoU into mid-tier armour makes the normally insanely-hard prisons into a cakewalk! I think the rest of the game will be pretty easy if you just go all-in on the wand as you described. That wand + monk meditate is crazy strong. I think +4 mail is fine even for demon halls and Yog if you've got that much ranged firepower. Charge management may be a bit tricky due to lack of scrolls of recharging but meditate more than makes up for that. Maybe we'll get lucky and find another transmute scroll to turn the spellbook into something useful. If it were me though I would be putting every scroll I can into that thing just for the chance of reading all of the book charges in a boss fight and getting one big recharge on the wand out of it!

[@runningfromcake]

I got a arcane ring today and was thinking about getting creative with a max armor of thorns bleed build but I think I'm going to keep it simple with the wand.

[@codekeeper32]

Hey RFC I’ve noticed that items are added to the inventory in order (duh right?) but this helps me keep track of which potions I picked up on the current level. I’ve also started making a quick mental note of potion counts at the start of each level to keep track of duplicates. Simple but it’s helped with correct identifications

[@runningfromcake]

nice! Those are good tricks, I got the premium version that should let me make notes on the potion but I think I'm running the old .exe by accident.

[@chongli297]

I don't think it's a violation of the spirit of the challenge if you put a scroll into the spellbook immediately when you pick it up instead of reading it. You're still using the scroll immediately!

[@runningfromcake]

hmmmm, the wording is "use" the scroll, so yeah! that should work.

[@chongli297]

Remember, meditate gives both wand and artifact recharging, so you can get both wand charges and spellbook charges for free. Spamming the spellbook in the early levels of a new area can be pretty strong (free magic mapping finding a secret room is awesome)! You may want to let the charges build up on the last floor before the boss though. There are so many different useful scroll effects against a boss, especially the dwarf king because both lullaby and rage are super powerful crowd control tools

[@runningfromcake]

okay you've convinced me to give it a try. I usually don't mess with spell book much after a couple kinda meh experiences with it. But lots of people swear by it.

[@zdzislawzaleta7432]

12:10 you can also use a fire seed there

[@runningfromcake]

oh that's a good tip thanks! I'm rusty on using seeds from having barren lands on for so long.

[@chongli297]

Hey! So sorry you're under the weather! Hope you're having some fun playing SPD. Get yourself a nice cup of lemon tea or a bowl of chicken noodle soup!

[@runningfromcake]

hehe thanks, doing some lemon tea with honey as been nice.

[@chongli297]

I think this challenge makes a bit more sense if modified slightly so that you don't have to read a scroll that you know will do absolutely nothing (identify or remove curse with nothing to use on) but then you MUST use the scroll as soon as the situation changes so that you do have something to use it on

[@runningfromcake]

yeah that's what I'm sayin!

[@chongli297]

I think on floor 6 you could have used a firebloom seed to burn down the wooden wall instead of a potion of liquid flame. It's natural to forget that though after you've been playing on Barren Lands for soooooooo long!

[@princtame1937]

You should use identify on potions because of the challenge but you probably forgot you can just identify them with scrolls...intuition is only a guess :P

[@runningfromcake]

I usually save identify for equipment, but yeah you're right I could use it on potions as well.

[@UmmugulsumSavran-ws1ep]

one SPD needed is you: big change a wood platworm rat king s secret room.

[@mollienmollien5668]

hey cake when there is an enchantement in the title of the weapoon it is 100% NOT CURSED so dont need to use a remove curse scroll;)

[@mollienmollien5668]

but it is the challenge i have forgotten ;)

[@runningfromcake]

ah yes! thanks for the reminder, yeah I had to use it though ;)

[@jockhamster4515]

I personally like Mimic Tooth. It adds excitement to the game, because you could get good loot from Mimics or get eaten by the door. Edit: Perhaps I should change my mind as accidentally walking into two Ebony mimics in a row made me lose a run. Investigate carefully with mimic tooth trinket!

[@runningfromcake]

oh crap I forgot about the doors. any visual clues

[@jockhamster4515]

@@runningfromcake look out for a transparent chest layout on objects you can interact with (doors and items on the floor (especially strength potion, quest items like Candles, etc.)). The chest outline can be seen even in fog of war after seeing the object with mimic. A good suggestion would be to double-check every object if you are uncertain, as investigating the mimic will always show it as Suspicious outline.

[@runningfromcake]

okay thanks! this is what I was hoping for, some kind of clue.

[@Ne_Ne_Vova_UA]

Trinkets are so fun

[@runningfromcake]

I haven't gotten any mimics yet, but we'll see :)

[@Ne_Ne_Vova_UA]

​@@runningfromcake ebony mimic normally one shots me no matter what and i can't see them no matter what :(

[@Ne_Ne_Vova_UA]

You will probably be oneshoted by an ebony mimic

[@runningfromcake]

I'm holding my ankh tight.

[@normalstranger6482]

Monk, ecumbered spirit and wands I already see a deadly combo

[@runningfromcake]

yup!

[@normalstranger6482]

Hello, can you do a faith is my armor run/guide plz? I am struggling a lot in that run, I have failed 7-8 runs already It's way too frustrating I know the kite technique but even that is not always the option

[@runningfromcake]

dang yeah.. that's one of the hardest one. Ok I'll add it to the to do list.

[@normalstranger6482]

@@runningfromcake thanks cake, and thanks to you I have already completed a few 6 challenge runs 💪
