I Created An IMMORTAL Build (for real) in Halls of Torment

Asmongold is the reason I started playing this game but you're the reason I've stayed interested. Love your content!

[@joseluiscuervolopez-mora1814]

Exactly the same here! I even created a video myself melting bosses with the sorcerer kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYrSl3irrs-LqbM

[@stijnr2000]

Here's something interesting I found trying this build. I had the (upgraded) elven shoes, and their block INCREASES WITH MOVESPEED. This one goes up while moving, but only down while standing still. So. You can pickup the movement speed buff (bubble) to get the stacks way up and then they will STAY UP, as long as you keep moving. This brought me to 42 stacks and 300 block in total. I also had somewhat higher numbers on the shield block attack because of this.

[@drinkablebean1812]

this is technically the crimson shroud build of halls of torment

[@thelazt16]

The 3x crit damage counter is better for her as it make her kill anyone who can penetrate her block, making dealing with ranged enemy easier.

[@MultiStr8t]

I just love the excitment u went in :D Wonderfull job.

[@jcdenton7564]

Good timing, Dex. Just finished making some burritos to watch KZbin with, gonna have a good time watching this

[@Pb7.62]

Pog

[@iamtheteapot7405]

Just so you know, you can pick up the gold tickets and then press the red X in top right to get 50% of your XP bar rather than an ability, same is true for item boxes. A nice boost if you don't like what you see or are doing a special build like this.

[@schumischumacher514]

There were some updates in bete :) now you can discard the weapon choices for exp. Same for the items

[@Seluecus1]

Have you done a full Summoning Warlock build yet? Including Abilities (like Orbs).

[@PopKMedia]

I run a similar build all the time. The gloves that deal x3crit hit to someone who hurts you is great for final boss.

[@bobbo201]

I honestly been waiting on an update. Got all the achievments done and was pretty bored. So can't wait.

[@binipped]

Man I was so hoping you'd step next to the pillar at the end there as I think that would have forced movement on the boss that would have made him get hit a lot more.

[@AnthonyRay]

This is amazing

[@certainlynotmalo1.0.0]

Wait what? The watch time from subscribers is measured in percenct? And your subscribers are divided in non-subscribed an subscribed subscribers? Toatally makes sense to me. Seems then, like i'm one of the subscribed subscribers. Nice one. xD For real, i don't know if it was intentional, but if not, i thought i better tell you. Nice run btw! And the boss really tried it's best, you have to give him credit for that... Poor soul.😅

[@justinjacobson5630]

12:18 you can both lock and double things. There's no restriction like what you said.

[@DexTag]

Yes, but go through it. I want to double option A and lock option B to pick it after. If I lock A, then B appears, then I also have to lock B to double A afterwards. That is 2 locks used. Instead, if B appears first I lock it, then A appears and I double it. Only 1 lock is used. I see no reason to waste a lock if I can do it differently to only use 1 lock.

[@nicolasdias4827]

@@DexTag Can't you lock A, then pick B normally when it appears, then just double the A on the next lvl up?

[@DexTag]

@@nicolasdias4827 Yea you can, I have 0 clue why I thought that wouldn't work

[@unlucky1933]

Man, I love tank build. Feel so nice to take hit.. I mean to feel invulnerable.

[@edalatka7899]

why you dont pick up the scrolls ?

[@Avarial]

Now do the no move challenge. I've done it on my channel with the Shield Maiden before the new patch but haven't tried it since. Agony looks interesting.

[@KuntaKinteToby]

I've found the best way to become unkillable is to just max astronomer's orbs. Its like a buzz-saw that melts anything that comes near you. No hp required! This was cool to see though

[@justinjacobson5630]

To me, orbs just feel bad. They very well may do good damage, but the fact that orbs don't necessarily do damage as fast as they intersect with the enemies just makes it feel weird. Each orb should have its own next hit delay, not the entire ring.

[@peacemain8472]

NOW I GET IT. Not YOU're in Agony, you're putting the ENEMIES into Agony. Was that intended?

[@falguard]

Reminds me of running a Concentrate tank Barbarian in Diablo II.

[@thrrax]

Funny how you have videos from different versions of the game. :D

[@thumperstick]

thanks for these uploads, great content!

[@thenonexistinghero]

Well, this build is pretty insane. Though looking at your level... it looks like it's A LOT more impossible to try to reach level 100 in this first stage than it was before, even with the boosted experience and amount of enemies from Agony lvl 4. Basically, I think that it'll be impossible to reach level 100 on the first stage without a method to raise agony significantly. There will probably also be an accessory that helps building agony faster at some point... probably. You also reduced damage by more than 80% with your amount of defence. Could be fun maximizing defence instead some time to get like a 99% damage reduction and perhaps another type of immortal build. The cleric can get some pretty insane regeneration as well with optimization. I think he has like a 50% boost for regen for like 2 level ups, meaning you can double it twice and get 200% extra regen speed. Though no matter how insane the regen is, you'd be limited in how much defense you'd be able to and bosses and the like would probably still deal like 50 damage or so per hit when you reach agony 3/4, so you still wouldn't be able to keep up even with like 20 hp regen or so per second. Shield maiden is probably the best one if you want a build that is immortal when combining defence optimization with health regen.

[@jaeusa160]

Exp nerf and the nerfs to most characters were very excessive on beta. I'm sure level 100 is theoretically possible still but the circumstances need to be insane since even rolling over the 3rd and 4th map on Agony with Norseman ain't even close. Remember that the prior lv100 benchmark was hitting 80 with about 10 more minutes left beyond that due to how expensive the exp scaling gets. I hope the "answer" is not another "mandatory" equipment like pre-nerf Jade Amulet. Builds are a LOT more boring with slots eaten. The dev needs to address things baseline.

[@thenonexistinghero]

@@jaeusa160 Definitely. Kinda hard to say how much it has been tested though. If you do a few full runs yourself along with a small group of testers... I find it hard to believe that no one has noticed how hard it now is to become level 100. Especially something to pay attention to when it was a relatively common complaint that level 100 was only decently possible on the 3rd map if you had completed most goals and had the amulet for 50% extra experience. For the second map you could still potentially get it, but it required very optimized play. First map was pretty much impossible. Well, I don't think these will still be issues by the time I start to play the game again. I already got 100% achievements for the non-beta version. I'm waiting until there's at least 2 or 3 extra maps on top of the first 3 before playing again since that just gives me a lot more freedom in how to play along with more content. I usually get bored kinda quickly if I play till 100% every time there's a new content update for a game.

[@jaeusa160]

@@thenonexistinghero A lot of the steam forum discussion is about in the same place, so I'd be very surprised if we didn't see more changes of course.

[@DexTag]

With Abilities you easily reach level 100, the issue with Agony is that our build struggled hard to kill lategame enemies, where the main experience amount kicks in. Having even just 1 decent AOE weapon would've done the trick. But yes, its a lot harder than before

[@FearsomeWarrior]

This is how I got the quest for Flame Strike 3 doing 2 million damage with Flame Strike and both upgrades.

[@xentatheman]

How do u get the agony thingy ? what do u need to complete ?

[@Natev97]

Make sure you have the beta version enabled. Any stage completed has access to agony already then

[@atnfn]

Could have removed all armors temporarily to lose health, unless he actually did that later. To use the necklace.

[@atnfn]

Yeah... keep fighting and walking between the scrolls... I was just waiting for him to accidentally pick one up.

[@DexTag]

The scrolls are actually quite easy to see for me, in a case like this I have no problem to walk around them. The only time I accidentally walked into one was in the Golem video, but there the problem was that my entire attention was on dodging so I didnt see the scroll :D

[@stilladreamer1]

The range upgrades are really bad with those gloves it makes u unable to damage boss. With this setup u can do first 3 maps no move including boss. But third map is very difficult (much easier with exterminator)

[@chrislognshot]

how do i unlock new stuff

[@ElistaoDiolho]

Hey Dex, have you ever played peglin? Would love to see you play it

[@konzori]

Awesome video!

[@TheLiquidAtom]

if you duplicate every block ability with maiden, even last stage boss does nothing.(maybe you dont need literally every, but i tested with duplicating every single one)

[@DexTag]

Yea I am also pretty sure thats the case and I think what messes with it is Agony, because I did the math on this and the way I did it results in the highest Block Strength (roughly 12 more than going just for Block Strength).

[@randomcitizen0]

nanomachine build

[@Hitsandruns]

her crit bonus upgrade applies to melee abilities. Which i think is only flame strike atm lol. Shield Maiden makes flame strike okay, but not great.

[@TheValinov]

saw blades are melee aswell i guess.

[@logangrudzinskas8237]

Whats the difference between rougelike and rougelite?

[@SrCookie69]

In Roguelikes you dont bring in anything into your run from the outside, like potions, items, power ups etc., the only way to get stronger is getting stuff while your run is going. In Roguelites the more you play, the more items and power ups you can bring into your next game, which makes your next runs stronger and easier.

[@milonchello1643]

​@@SrCookie69to give examples roguelike is something like binding of isaac besides the character unlocks you dont get any item outside the run itself, for roguelite Hades is one of my prefered choices.

[@michaelmardling3152]

might want to spellcheck, Rouge is french for red, think you meant Rogue

[@logangrudzinskas8237]

SrCookie seemed to understand what i meant. Thankyou though for taking the time to correct me. Added a lot to the discussion👍

[@fugfiggen1536]

Roguelikes heavily take after the turn-based grid-based procedurally generated dungeon crawling RPG known as "Rogue". Games like Nethack or Chunsoft's various "Mystery Dungeon" games are examples of Roguelikes. The term "Roguelite" basically came about to distinguish games that take inspiration from some elements of Rogue and other Roguelikes (perma-death, procedural generation, etc.), but go outside the genre that Rogue inhabits. By that criteria, Binding of Issac, FTL, Hades, and arguably Garlic-likes are all examples of Roguelites.

[@Theos.]

is your game modded or something? i dont see this in any updates, how do you get mods for this game?

[@DexTag]

This is the beta, you can simply join it on Steam

[@Theos.]

@@DexTag oh i see. thanks

[@wells3436]

normal people: avoid puddles Dex: oh look, double puddle!

[@TheValinov]

you could do it before the patch. i remember those do 16 dmg, so it was quite easy to block every poison hit.

[@donottouch9110]

Have you found the black cloak it creates black smoke screens that give you plus 10 block strength standing inside of them and other stats

[@DexTag]

Yea, the issue is it replaces an armor piece that gives you 20% block strength (as far as I know at least), which is not worth it

[@donottouch9110]

@DexTag hmmm I thought the cloak gives you more armor but I guess since the plate is % based it doesn't haven't done the math though

Force scales other stats up.

[@toha9460]

force increases crit damage also i was watching the numbers as u grabbed it 23:10 u go from 4292 to 4308 u gained 16 damage nvm u might just gain passive dmg on level up at 27:06 u didnt get a stat level just a level for gold and ur damage went up by 17

[@keithc1234]

out of interest, is there any reason why you don't pick up powers once you've maxed out your current abilities?

[@victorkrisna]

its a challenge he made, no traits

[@LifeAsANoun]

Why can't you just not take the extra power in exchange for the exp??? you said it, but didn't explain the reason...

[@megadeth116]

You could've taken damage if you took off some equipment maybe

[@DexTag]

Yea I....definitely....considered that....lmao xD

[@Viezieg]

this is hilarious hahaha well done !

[@MaximBardin]

Try this build on level 3-4 and tell me how it goes for you...

[@deenman23]

watching this was painful,you missed so many block values

[@Neriehem]

I randomly checked and for some reason I was unsubbed, though I remember subbing earlier when you were doing only Vampire Survivors content - dayum youtube...

[@ripl0x]

I think it's funny you're like "I don't want to pick up the tickets and get a trait." but then you stay in the same area with them having to dodge them when you could just move anywhere else and not worry about it. The map is infinite, lol, just move so you don't risk it.

[@sulblazer]

Kind of a moot suggestion since he didn’t pick up a trait despite having to navigate around the tickets.

[@ripl0x]

@@sulblazer I know, but he kept worrying about picking them up during the run...so like move away from them and it's one less thing to worry about.

[@DexTag]

I didnt worry about picking up tickets. I worried about bosses dying on top of me which forces me into a ticket - for a reason, it happened in a previous recording xd

[@DexTag]

Oh, interesting option, with the only downside that you have to keep moving. Would need to do the math since you lose 15% but gain 10+ block strength (I dont know how much they end up giving), but that could be worth considering. Only real issue I see is as I said that you have to keep moving
