Crypt of the Necrodancer - Coda Clear

[@Ryusuta]

This is seriously one of the most amazing displays I've seen in a very, VERY long time. I struggled and fought HARD just to beat Aria's normal game (not even all worlds, just normal), and here you rocked Coda like a boss! You're my hero!

[@teh_jibbler]

+Joe Momma I keep seeing people spelling it "Candace". I'm pretty sure it's "Cadence". Maybe they think it was misspelled in-game, but let me assure you that it wasn't. Her mom's name is "Melody" and her grandma's name is "Aria". Both names relate closely to music. This indicates that her family likes to name the women after musical ideas. And cadence is another word for rhythm.

This doesn't have enough views. Completing this deserves a damn parade. I'll just sulk over here with my Aria all zones completion, dreaming of things (this) to never come.

[@slonik0002]

Hey, that's still a major accomplishment. Only 42% of all players beat Zone 1 Cadence.

[@Zeteni]

Wow, only 42%? Now I has a sad because the game itself deserves better.

[@carlyhamilton7167]

[@SpootyBiscuit]

@Grace B Can't reply to you directly for some reason, but hopefully you'll see this - Boss starts are literally the only place where I can safely rest and regather my wits, so to speak. As mentioned in the description as well, if I keep the boss splash screen up, it doesn't even advance the in-game timer either (but replays don't properly reflect this). Normal stages, on the other hand, are on the set timer of the song length (Coda dies if song ends before exiting) and also have the possibility to have enemies start chasing you before you even move.

[@raekuul]

[@keksimusmaximus444]

[@awakenedophelia]

I quite literally have never commented on any youtube video ever, but I couldn't help myself..... this was incredibly mind-blowing. I was tapping on my desk in rhythm, and I can't even begin to imagine keeping that up for one song, let alone through Zone 4.... Amazing work, truly. Like others have commented, I've been having a hard time just working with Aria, so this is absolutely astonishing. Kudos to you :D

[@anddatkat796]

And I can't even beat zone 4 as Aria ;-; Update 3 years later: I can now, since making this comment, clear Aria all-zones semi-consistently (Like, maybe 50% of the times I try), including with the DLC :) Haven't even UNLOCKED Coda yet tho...

[@fernando47180]

Last time I tried Aria, I was killed by the dude with the pillow and the shovel. The fucker stepped into a confusion trap while running away, so it turned around and charged right towards me. I took me about half a minute to realize hoe I had died, since I was pretty sure there were no threats nearby.

[@blazingscore004]

I can understand that long wait at Death Metal (and in most level starts). I can't even finish Bolt lol.

[@th3paran0id]

So standing still doesn't count as missing a beat before moving, but will skipping a beat after moving kill you?

[@SpootyBiscuit]

+GunbladeMaster34 Yes, skipping beats after your first movement on a floor will result in a missed beat death (or potion consumption, if you have one).

[@Roeran]

+SpootyBiscuit do you use wasd for movement?

[@dakkenly]

+Robin Ångerman One would assume no, seeing as hitting W A S or D would use items lol

[@owenwilliams3006]

+dakkenly +Robin Ångerman You move with the arrow keys by default, with items being two simultaneous arrow keys for a given item. However, it shows that he has rebound his items to WASD (and E) to avoid missing beat via failing to properly hit two key or only hit one key and go in a direction that was not intended. I will assume he also rebound movement, as the arrow keys would not be the most optimal to maintain constant pressing with twitch reflexes. The controls are not comfortably placed for this sort of gameplay by default.

[@Ohgnath]

[@isbilen1000]

[@dominichekashia105]

Alright, dude, be honest...was blowing up the Conga Throne with a Bomb Goblin intentional, or just the happiest accident that ever was? ((Also you stopped looking for gear after Zone 2 and that's super confusing to me because you didn't have a headpiece yet...))

[@SpootyBiscuit]

+Dominic Hekashia (Chaos Fantazy) Totally planned. I was going to dig the throne out, but chat reminded me that you can't do that with phasing, so I came up with the plan of holding the goblin bombers in place with freeze, getting around behind them, and then using them to blow up the throne. Didn't quite go exactly as planned (hence getting hit by the blademaster), but it worked out in the end. As for gear hunting, since I didn't have phasing, checking shops would mean fighting extra enemies. I already had most of what I needed at that point (headpieces are mostly just very minor bonuses and are rarely important to a run), so I just played it safe by avoiding confrontation.

[@morphious86.]

So little reaction time yet you managed to do it. You're a legend. I can't even beat Aria...

[@iguanasandwich28]

I thought my all zones run with Melody was a big accomplishment. I have a far road to go I guess. :P This run is one of the most amazing runs for any game I've ever seen. Congrats on the run! Anyways, I have a small question. How many hours do you have in CotN? Because I can imagine you have a ton of hours!

[@royatoy5769]

now if coda had 'ALL' of the characters traits combined this would be a different story

[@Nahtanojrepus]

Grace B essentially, he was catching his breath. Bosses go on forever, unlike regular levels, so they're the only real chance to rest

[@1Thunderfire]

Yeah, don't think I'll be achieving this any time soon. I swear the Switch version sometimes misses beats even when you've definitely pressed the button right. Lying back on my bed as opposed to being on my front should not constitute some kind of block or lag.

So Coda is basically this game's The Lost? (Binding of Isaac Rebirth)

[@titodickdickmanbaby3148]

except it's harder

[@pokedart9001]

+Snitsky9 Nah. Coda is this game's The Lost, Samson, Eve, and The Keeper from The Binding of Isaac Afterbirth all put together. Not only in the sense that it's extremely sado-masochistic in its difficulty, but also in the sense that it's basically a bunch of characters combined, and the fact that Coda's gimmicks are centered around money and getting hit, although in this case he has to avoid both, rather than benefit from either of them.

[@UnaPinata]

Snitsky9 Add another point to that bullet list, if you miss a beat, you die. Now, add in that you have to move twice in a beat and the music doesn't help much with pointing the middle of a beat...

[@CEOofNinoNakano]

I purchased this game and see that not much people has completed this. What is the gameplay purpose or what am I looking at? It's hard to understand but I want to know what is this amazing feat?

[@graceb493]

So in Necrodancer you move through randomly generated dungeons to the beat, picking up items and money and fighting monsters along the way. Coda is considered the hardest character because of her restrictions: speed of the beats are doubled. If you miss even one, you die. You cannot upgrade to an easier weapon. If you pick up money, you die. If you take a hit from an enemy, you die. He has managed to beat the entire game this way, which is the impressive bit!

[@greengear5005]

Why did you avoid money ? Edit : Nvm i know you can't pick it but how did you get that much then

[@734ch3r]

When you finish a level, money is given to you.

[@bitter-unicorn]

I haven't unlocked Coda yet, but does the Shopkeeper automatically attack you? It seems like you didn't provoke him at all.

[@biggiemac42]

The walls in that shop were gray instead of gold, and the shopkeeper had a slightly different sprite. That's a monstrous shopkeeper. It's rare but some shops are replaced with that. He teleports when hit, does not drop crown of greed, and once dead his items are free. Fighting him doesn't affect the regular shopkeeper.

Also, killing him doesn't stop the real shopkeeper from showing up on later floors.

[@Abyss397]

SpootyBiscuit why dose coda have 0.5 heath and have 2x the speed

[@Hopyoprop]

Coda essentially is the hardest character, combining gameplay of bolt, aria and monk. So you cannot take more than 1 hit unless you have potion or ice charm, 2x the beats and cannot pick up any gold whatsoever. Essentially almost impossible without lots and lots of practice.

[@Hopyoprop]

Oh, glass armor will spare you one hit too.
