21:55 When I first played my healing potion was crimson, and this was how I thought the game would always work. Imagine my surprise and longtime interest when in the very next run I took a swig and discovered both liquid fire and the ID system. To this day I like to guess with some colour coordination like this.

they both make sense, crimson for blood then again for fire :)

Hey welcome back! I think this challenge is really cute. I have a ton of confidence that you'll be able to win this without too much trouble. A lot of newer players to SPD can sometimes fall into the trap of thinking you must save all your upgrades for T5 weapon + armour and end up dying in the prisons or early caves as a result. The idea -- of just throwing a few upgrades into a mail armour even though you may decide to replace it with plate later on -- just does not occur to some folks! It's okay to waste a few upgrade scrolls if it makes an earlier part of the game easy! After all, Forbidden Runes is a challenge that cuts the total upgrade scrolls in half and lots of people (including you Cake) have won with it!

Exactly! It's a tough habit to break but a +3 mail makes the early game so easy.

Hey I really enjoyed your rat series. Just wanted to cast my vote for more absurd, gamebreaking content. Im pretty newbie so I dont know what all is possible. Just I know theres some builds out there that kinda go off the deep end (Like rat armor + ring of recharging) Id love to see more of that.

The max 420 grass wand is pretty absurd, I should do another one of those soon.

Im not really much of a watcher (nothing to do with you quite literally) but i do love how calm the videos and your voice are.

Thanks! I'm much more calm with 0 challenges than I am with 6 or 9, those can get stressful.

If you can manage, hold off on upgrading that mail armour til you get to the blacksmith and get it hardened. Keep that thorns on there!

@tomwimbledon3160 4 ай бұрын

@@andrewharris9584 I thought hardening only worked with a new enchantment?

@runningfromcake 4 ай бұрын

I think I can if I keep throwing upgrades on the wand until I get to the blacksmith.

10:10 Why did you use the dart to trigger the trap? Could've used any another item and it would have worked as well, so you'd still have the dart on your hotbar, without having to go and pick it up if you needed it

@runningfromcake 4 ай бұрын

probably just being lazy and it was the first thing I saw. Also with 0 challenges there is a large margin for error so I can relax and do silly stuff.

I think that early game duelist is easier with this user challenge, because she really struggles without some good equipment

@runningfromcake 4 ай бұрын

yeah good point, forcing yourself to use the early upgrades makes it a lot smoother.

You had an uncursed spear you could have used against the goo! Could you use the alchemy kit to get exotic scrolls as soon as you pick them up?

@sadegh4982 4 ай бұрын

Using a spear on goo is pretty risky The problem is it's slow(sometimes takes 2 turns to attack) and if goo changes up during that time you are in a bit of a pinch

@sadegh4982 4 ай бұрын

Yeah turning scrolls into exotic versions or rune stones is good idea

Hey Cake what are your thoughts on the new journal update +WIP New art style Would be cool to do a video on them later ❤

@runningfromcake 4 ай бұрын

I like the journal update. I looked at the side by side comparisons of the old art to the new and it looked so similar that it's hard to say if it's worth the time and effort or not. The new boss graphics look cool though. I would say that if the dev is enjoying making these updates than it is worth it.

Can you do a tutorial/tips and tricks guide for the 9 challenges? I watched your series but that's maybe too specific for the seed you used.

@runningfromcake 4 ай бұрын

sure after this run, I have had a few requests for 9 challenges so I will give it a try next.

New player here, is there a reason why you're walking tile by tile? Wouldn't it be faster if you just clicked the door for example instead of walking tile by tile towards it?

@runningfromcake 3 ай бұрын

I guess it depends on the room. If there are still shadows and unexplored areas I go tile by tile incase I want to change directions. When the floor is fully explored I'll click all the way on the stairs to auto run there. Generally I prefer to go slower though.
