Soundfall | Platinum Run (Lethal Difficulty) | Discordance - Danimal Cannon

If you’re watching this, that probably means you’re trying to finish the Multiplatinum trophy/achievement. Based on my experience, Lydia is the preferred character to get this level completed. A solid Legendary bow with triple shot is almost needed to take Discord’s health down quickly each time he’s downed. The longer one is in the level, the harder it is to avoid mistakes, so speed is key.
Best of luck to you, Guardians!

You did well. This game in lethal difficulty is even more harder than Crypt of the Necrodancer.

Thanks! Glad to have it wrapped up-I’ve not played Crypt of the Necrodancer, so I have no frame of reference for comparative difficulty, but this experience was pretty damn hard at times! I did hear that Necrodancer is notoriously hard though. If you’re working on the same challenge in this game, best of luck to you!

Congrats you with this hard achievement! I also go for this achievement, already on the 9th world, but there is one level 5-5, it seems, with kai, and since I'm a fairly new player and I don't have an old imb weapon, this level will most likely be the most difficult for me and almost not on the verge of the impossible, in fact, I didn’t spend more than 2 hours at 1 level and I didn’t even try to pass this level, because it’s clear that dps doesn’t allow me to do this, perhaps this is, of course, due to the fact that I still don’t have a natural spit on a kai, but even with it I’m unlikely to be able to do it, even though I thought about other places that they were impossible almost before, but with good equipment I managed to pass them pretty quickly. So, if you have time, tell me how you got through this level, albeit with different equipment, and which scythe suits the kai best. Also, interesting your experience in total, for example, which levels were for you the most hardest, how much time did you spend in game to get this. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, LP! I figured you were still pressing for this achievement, given what you had mentioned over in Drastic’s Discord. Sounds like you’ve mostly made solid progress to this point. To your question about which levels I found most difficult, I would say some of the lower BPM songs gave me issues due to their lengths at times. With a slower song, you fundamentally have fewer opportunities to shoot or dash, so those choices have to be made with maximum efficiency. With those levels, it became much more of a focus on killing things (especially the magicians) as soon as possible, as well as always moving forward. Some of the biomes are just tougher too-Volcano and Peaks come to mind there. I remember struggling a good bit with Ownage (for the BPM/tempo change there) and Nightmare of Defeat (due to early enemy/turret placement) in the Volcano biome, while some of the slower BPM songs combined with the environmental hazards in Peaks made things a little tricky. This level above is super tough too, and my recommendation is moving from Ky to Lydia to get it done. If you don’t get Discord’s health all the way down each time it’s vulnerable, you have to go through a new wave of tentacles/bullet hell. Obviously, the longer that goes on, the more likely it is you get hit or make a mistake beat-wise, so speed is the name of the game. Let me know which song you’re having trouble with (as Ky), and I’ll try to give you a more in-depth answer (can’t recall 5-5 off the top of my head-primarily did the challenge through free play, so songs were arranged alphabetically there, as opposed to Story Mode order). In the meantime, best of luck to you!

Thank you very much for answering! As for your complex songs, I completely agree, although the levels with each specific character are perhaps the most difficult for me, and by the way, if you haven’t looked at level 5-5 yet, this is the one with kai, since I never played kai in my life, because for me it the weakest of this five characters, but this is again my opinion and I don’t have the necessary overdrive for him, but the fight itself is that I used each character somewhere, but somehow I didn’t work out with kai. And yes, as far as I understood you, you thought that I play on kai and this is a normal level, but it’s not, because as you wrote in the drastic's discord that there is only one meta for new players - Lydia’s triple bow and this is quite true, in fact I use others characters only at the final levels, and for all the rest you have to use Lydia, although, to be honest, since some recent time, I would like to change my tactics, but the DPS of the weapon does not allow me to do this. And thanks again for part of your answer!

@@lp8378, well I have good news for you. I just looked up the level you mentioned, and realize that you’re working on the challenges through the Story Mode. As such, this one occurs during a ‘Temple’ level and forces you to use Ky to complete it. However, if you slide over to Free Play mode in the parent menu, and then search by Biome, this song (Come Move Your Body) will show up there as well. And it will be a conventionally laid-out Level that will allow you to use your preferred character to complete it. The same goes for any of the x-10 horde rush levels too. Given that I went through this challenge entirely through Free Play mode, I didn’t go through those levels in that way. I’d highly recommend you (and any others trying for this challenge) to do the same. In Free Play, they become regular levels-and as such, are far less intimidating/challenging than they would be otherwise. Hope that helps you out!

@@flooderdooden2179 It's funny that I only found out about this feature towards the end of the game. I want to say thank you again, because thanks to you and this feature, I will most likely be able to get multiplatinum, and as I have been planning to post a video with all the levels for multiplatinum on KZbin for a long time, in fact, I came up with some kind of motivation for myself, because I did not see anyone I posted all the levels in one video on this game, of course this is due to the fact that the game is not very popular, but I think that is also due to the new meta, with which it is extremely difficult for an ordinary player to achieve multiplatinum at this moment. Finally, I wish you all the very best.

@@lp8378, posting every level would be quite the undertaking, but for those who attempt the challenge later, could prove valuable for them. Good luck assembling and posting that, and best wishes on wrapping the challenge up yourself!
