RAVINE CHIMPS MADE EASY! Black Border Guide BTD6 v38.3

0 mid-round micro, this is the starbucks vanilla ice of ravine strats, but its mad easy and reliable.
next one is quincy quad (that map sucks ass)

Your guides are the best. Alas, I died on 98. Right side just blew through. v40.2. Will try again when *I* cool down.

[@kabal5376]

I also died on 98...

[@wibblo]

ayy, i finally did it as my last expert chimps!!!!!!!!!!!! tysm for this guide. i might as well share a couple tips i needed to shave off some hours of playtime for others lol - 39 and 63 has a bit of rng, but this can be avoided by microing the druid to first if there are only a couple spikes left and many more bloons - if the moabs turn left on 71, stun them when a bunch of them are in psi's range or you'll lose - IF you stunned on 71 and the first bfb turns left, use the scream when everything starts hitting the spikes at the end to clean up. this wont disrupt anything else - this is super obvious but hopefully being really specific is better than the other way round; if you placed your ace too low and cant put the mortar under it when you need to, just do it next to the village it doesnt matter much. just preferably not too close to the alchs. (and put the ninja at the bottom instead - it doesnt need any buffs so just stick it at the bottom pff) - you can also scream on 80 and 85 to clean up, it wont affect anything else so u might as well. just do it when the bloons get to the end of the track, as soon as your spike pile depletes - watch out on 90 and 93 and stun(?) and scream if needed, on 93 itll come off of cooldown in time for you to stun the left zomgs. on one of my runs they both got very close (and ive lost on 93) so this might happen. just try to make sure you scream after the ddt at the end pops so that it gets the cerams (in case psi doesnt for whatever reason) - scream on 98 to clean up when youre in danger of losing this is SO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED oh my goddddd lmfao

[@wibblo]

to check if you might need to micro on 39 and 63, check if your right spactory is only shooting on one side (after the few spikes it lets out at the start of the round). if your top pile isnt being added to youll probably have to slow it down so you can change the druid to first

[@franciscotrentin1]

Great video! Ravine is definitely one of the hardest map in the entire game! Thank you so much!

[@RiptornRory]

Been trying this strat for about an hour now, and keep losing at the point where you switch the bottom left triple shot dart monkey to first. This map is the bane of my BTD6 existence, so was really hoping this guide (and any additional help you can give) could get me past this damn map. Not trying to rage, but have quadruple checked my placements of each monkey and just hitting a wall.

[@ennui_dios]

is that r22? theres apparently some rng on the left track on r22, theres literally nothing you can do beside using a different start, but those all require sniper micro. hope you manage to beat this rng ass map

[@RiptornRory]

@@ennui_dios I'm going to try it later, but will go for a 030 Druid asap then upgrading the sniper to hope that fixes the issue. And I think it was R25 or 26, will be doing my damnest later so hoping I can get this map behind me.

[@RiptornRory]

@@ennui_dios And after a bit of remembering, it was the middle track (starting on the right) that leaked bloons.

[@thetruejay20]

Thank you for doing voice over walkthroughs!

[@ennui_dios]

Hope they help!

[@zachwastaken314]

Monkey placements are pixel perfect at the start ive realized. My 1st minkey placed in strong cant be in the corner all the way it needs to be out just a tad otherwise i leak at the start. That or it is rng

[@ennui_dios]

the right side of its range should go thru the triangular tree leaf, and it works every time

[@olz33]

@@ennui_dios this is true happened to me, pretty frustrating but what can ya do

[@Osi9ify]

Thanks you for the guide, it was super easy to follow. On my first try I did lose on round 71 though, when all of the moabs went left instead of right. Probably could have been saved by a scream if I had been fast enough.

[@ennui_dios]

Yeah if they all go left you need to stun, i forgot to mention in the vid

[@wibblo]

so far ive found a bit of rng on 39, dying there a few times (possibly due to the bugged smart spactory, i'm not sure (??) and to avoid it i have to micro the druid to first in order to catch a few stray bloons. PLEASE DO THIS AND PAY ATTENTION ON 39

[@wibblo]

as an addendum the same statement applies on 21 and 63 - u cant do anything on 21 but its only happened to me once, but be super aware of 63 in case anything happens

[@EcnelisVIr]

Very good tutorial, i got to round 100 but died because i timed the ability wrong, i also died at round 43 because of rng

Doesn't work in 42.1. I changed it slightly using a couple more abilities and because I couldn't afford the second first strike I got 2 spike storms instead

[@AKTMadaraUchiha]

Damn super close.. lost on 80, I’m try again later, but great guide

[@ennui_dios]

rip, did you stun the zomg and was it close? also you need to upgrade the left alch to stronger stim after you get solver

[@AKTMadaraUchiha]

@@ennui_diosso I’ve tried this quite a bit of times, and 5 different times I’ve died on 80 bro and I haven’t been able to get any further then that . Idk if rng with the ace not hitting his shots in time, but the zomg pops to late and it leaks. Do you have any recommendations bro?

[@ennui_dios]

@@AKTMadaraUchiha sorry that keeps happening. Id take it slow and stun the zomg when it is right underneath the path of the plane. You can also use psi's second ability right at the end to instakill all ceramics. Hope it helps, in the 3 runs i did r80 was never a problem, its annoying that it isnt working for you and others

Bro I died on 99 even with Sabotage... super unlucky, maybe a scream from PSI would've helped.

[@ennui_dios]

Wow thats unlucky, you can scream and stun on 99 if you need it

[@kunizial]

Died once to 21, forgot to stun thinking about the spac placement at 36, a lot to 22 (turns out my dart 1 was 3 pixels to the right, 2 too low), then 27 (did have dart3 on first, but didn't watch and didn't happen again, rng i guess), died to 36 again cause no stun (wanted to start the video not the round 🙂), then died to 71, then... 100 (moabs left from 2nd first strike and didn't scream in game in time, so i screamed irl 🙃continue to loose to rng 3 more times around 63, then twice in 90s (one to rng even through abilities, one forgot to stun). now finally did it while biting my teeth at 22 i started using autohotkey to place pixel perfect including script to just copypaste coordinates, best decision in my btd6 life. probably safed quite some time and especially my sanity. still took me like 6 hours oof thanks for the guide, finally did this awful map. hope i'll never have to spam this stupid sword again

[@ennui_dios]

good to hear you finally beat this horrid map, unfortunately you died a ton but thats pretty normal for the hardest maps in the game

[@sew505]

Now I wish I had waited for this one. I was thinking that getting solver first before sky shredder would be better for that perfect ceram clean up. Great video and bloody puddles guide next?

speaking from experience, he prolly wont make one for a while because he refuses to use geraldo

[@sew505]

@@doreoisbad there's gotta be a strat without Geraldo

[@doreoisbad]

@@sew505 probably, I'm pretty sure you could do something with churchill but those are fairly ability timing heavy and ennui doesn't like that

[@ennui_dios]

Doreo's kinda right but not totally (as usual smh). I don't refuse to use geraldo, i only use him when i have a particular strat in mind, like geraldo snipers with perma brew on muddy (coming soon!) I'll do bloody at some point but rn the next guides are quad, muddy, then ouch

[@vaazed0]

tysm i needed that

[@ratman1125]

I don't get how people manage to find this kind of stuff out. Isn't there perhaps a simpler way to do this without incredibly specific placements and targeting? My mind can't keep up with this kinda stuff, the hardest map I've black bordered is Cornfield. Is this actually the level of precision and insane game knowledge needed to beat these maps on chimps? Honestly I admire the people who manage to beat this kind of map on their own.

[@fran13r]

I hate ravine with a passion but you made it look super fun.

[@ennui_dios]

You should beat it first try with this strat, just play it safe and get that black border!

[@yoyomou9592]

I died at 80 with stun. Should we use scream?

[@ennui_dios]

Yeah for sure, use stun early then scream as well after the moabs pop into cerams

You can do it, just play safe, this is the second hardest map in the game

[@genghiskhan6688]

@@ennui_dios Holy pepperoni, I just did it! In the middle of the game I hastly placed the glue before buying primary training and ended up having it much more to the left than you. You said at 10:50 that "this placement is really, really important; it's not hard at all, but just make sure you get it right", so I played from there onwards really on the edge, thinking I'd die anytime. But I didn't, and that makes me extremely happy! Thank you very much! Also, I have no clue why, but at around 93 or thereabouts I noticed I had 10 dollars more than you despite following everything you did (and absolutely nothing making such a small money difference even if I had done something different). I kept following the guide and at every turn I still kept 10 bucks ahead. By the start of round 100 you had 207 while I had 217. Any idea what happened here?

@@genghiskhan6688 the money thing is something that often happens in chimps, its bcoz of layer stripping and some other weird stuff. The glue placement is really important for right side usually but ig you cooked late game so hard it didnt matter
