In library you can do this build a bit easier since there's empty tome sitting in the map. What makes it easier is if you get all passive item slots filled, empty tome is added into the third additional row of items. Same goes for empty mask.

[@alexstewart9592]

When this map got changed, items were added to it. There is a 50% chance of an Empty Heart above spawn, and a 20% chance of a Pumerola way below spawn. Oh, and multiple places with various chances of a Clover.

[@Red-Tower]

@@alexstewart9592 true, but it's harder to keep track of where to look for them because of how open the map is. Library is easy because you can just go left for tome and right for mask. I suppose technically you can go straight up and down for the first couple items on forest, but I know one of the clover spawns is up and left a ways and I think off to the lower right somewhere. Plus they spawn in different scenery areas. I'm sure once you get familiar with it all it'll be easier to find them, but they also only have a chance to spawn at all.

Actually, the reaper has negative knockback, meaning every time you hit it it will get "knocked" closer to you. That's one of the reasons why it sticks so hard to you.

[@pumbaa667]

good to know, thanks

[@L4Vo5]

Maybe Arca (-15% cooldown) or exdash (+100% luck) would be better picks for the pentagram itself, though they make the tanky part of the build weaker. Also, the library allows you to get empty tome as a 7th passive item (and if you really want it, stone mask as well). It's great for when you want a build to be as strong as possible

[@MonsterPumpkin]

The run was well worth the wait, did not think that a second death would come out in the end lol

[@VXTauspectre]

Slight tweak to this build based on my experience in getting to 33 minutes on Hyper Mode: Garlic is a trap, something like the evolved bible/axe for actively keeping enemies away between pentagram procs makes getting to 30 mins easier! Extra duration from spellbinder synergises with clock lancet & laurel for significantly more tank/control than I've had with Evolved Garlic, and I think for going endless the longer freezes and immunity from laurel will allow you to move into whatever gaps end up existing between waves!

Then you abuse the bookshelves to hopefully get the 2nd and beyond stuck and pray they don't get hit.

[@lekoe961]

Santa Water has quickly become one of my favourite upgrades. I was playing the character with increased weapon duration that starts with King Bible and maxed out Spellbinder, Duplicator, Candelabrador and Empty Tome and when I stood still there was an almost permanent ring of Santa Waters around me. That combined with evolved Bible and Garlic meant I could stand still for the entire last 10 minutes of the library on hyper. Greatly recommend you try out a build similar to this because full investment in Santa Water is some of the most fun I've had with this game

1.King Bible - push enemies away and keep them on a distance to the point you can allmoste stand still all game and win 2.Empty Tome - to spawn the bibles faster. if you evolve it, it never stops spinning. 3. Chandelure - for better aoe effects 4.Axe - more aoe with Death Spiral, wich you get thanks to chandelure 5.Garlic - constant free damage within a radius of your posistion is nice 6.Duplicator - fire more projectiles wich effects all weapons you have so far. 7. Santa Water - gives you alot of free aoe damage. if you evolve this, then it covers a radius around your posistion very much like garlic. but i think its much better then garlic too be honest. but garlic works early game and the evolved form of Santa Water, being La Borra, covers your late game. these are 7 items that really would cover your back through thick and thin with an item that just straight up deletes evrything.

[@serketenglish5963]

Something great about Pentagram, is that even though it looks like it deletes the enemies, all the enemies it kills instantly respawn at the edges of the screen. It’s effectively a random “Oh Crap” button at worst, and free loot at best.

[@icycloud6823]

I don't think that's how it works. I think it just kills only the stuff that is currently on screen, while everything off screen survives. So if you have a hoard following you backed all the way off screen, it will only kill the ones on screen, while the rest of the hoard survives. So for maximum destruction it's best to be basically at the center of the hoard when the pentagram goes off, otherwise you'll miss some of the monsters.

[@serketenglish5963]

@@icycloud6823 Yes, but also, whenever a wave dies, it immediately spawns the next wave, and not a moment sooner to avoid lag. This would mean that Pentagram effectively resets the wave instantly, causing little downside, with the chance to get free XP.

[@icycloud6823]

@@serketenglish5963 I think I understand what you mean. Sounds very good if it's true.

[@serketenglish5963]

@@icycloud6823 Ye, lol. Oh also, enemies off screen get despawned after a certain distance. The way I personally discovered this wave mechanic is by playing as Poe in the library, and just going in one direction, while making sure to kill all the enemies on that side. Go left, move up/down to kill enemies, go left and more enemies will instantly come on screen. If you go right however, there won't be a massive hoard of all the enemies you missed, instead a wave nearly equal to the one on the left. And then, bosses get despawned too. If a boss vanishes off the right side of the screen while you're going left, it'll teleport to the left side, with the same amount of health as before.

[@j4kob2]

Finally! i’ve been so hyped for this episode, keep up the good videos!

[@NightChime]

I think you succeeded in the best way to define a Pentagram Run: more than 50% of your damage has to come from Pentagram for it to be a "success". I've thought of ways to horribly restrict choices - which is especially easy now that we have rerolls and skips - to *enforce* the... Pentagram-ness of the run... but % damage makes the most sense to still allow player choice and ingenuity. It also allows for degrees of success. I propose "scoring" runs by taking the % of damage dealt by Pentagram over the run, and multiplying it by the total damage dealt by Pentagram. This incentivizes "purity" of Pentagram but also just general Pentagram effectiveness, so that it doesn't lean too hard on a "just don't die" run.

Hey Tyler, you can actually unlock the Grim Reaper character as a hidden extra. His name is Missingno, in reference to the glitch, and all you have to do to unlock him is go to the files and edit the damage of something like garlic to a billion, or something, and one shot the reaper. you'll have to quit the game after as it doesn't know what to do, *BUT* you'll have it unlocked as you cheated death! then you gotta just edit the files to be correct damage again which for garlic is base 0.5. Don't wanna take any garlic upgrades as it would reset the damage but ye.

[@serload]

To freeze the reaper, you just need to run in the direction oposite of the lance shooting direction, so the Reaper will be in the back. Sadly only the lance and lorrel are helpful here. Maybe move speed as well.

[@brody7714]

It’s probably the pentagram non-delete chance (eg 25, or 45), multiplied by your luck (eg 60). So say you have a forty five percent non-delete chance, you’d multiply that by your luck (so 0.45+(60%)=0.72), makes 72%.

[@icycloud6823]

Either that, or the pentragram's non-delete chance is uneffected by other modifiers like luck. Judging by how 'unlucky' tyler was getting with the drops. I'd guess that the drop chance is uneffected.

[@brody7714]

@@icycloud6823 that is certainly also a good possibility. Difficult to tell with such a small sample size.

[@OhPinki]

19:10 the way I think luck works in this scenario is it has a 100% chance to roll 45% drops again if it doesn't work the first time and an extra 5% chance to roll a third time if it doesnt work the second time. At least that's my theory, luck in games work in different ways

[@SuperSonicBlur]

The best time I've managed to get is just over 33 mins in the library. Death comes in from the sides so if you position yourself in a corner of the piano bookcase, they will get stuck. Could be interesting to try with a lorel clock hand build

[@DrApylon]

Exdash is actually super good for this build, at 200% luck a 45% chance to not delete is very near 100% not to destroy items (makes it more viable earlier).

I saw Sifd's video of the missingno character, he had a really fast cooldown (especially on laurel) which helped him survive about 38 minutes. Maybe you should try clock lancet with it?

[@ShiningDarknes]

Stone mask has exactly one purpose: being a free item along with tome in library so you can get EIGHT passives (also it is the easiest and most consistent way to get the 5k gold in one run achievement)

[@TheRubySpider]

If you hadn’t been forced to take the Stone Mask, you could have theoretically taken wings, and the speed boost from that might be enough to keep up with the Clock Lancet and circle the reaper indefinitely. The second reaper obviously complicates things, but I’d imagine extra speed would be incredibly useful regardless.

[@oskark7676]

clock lancet does not reapply freeze to frozen enemies so the reaper would always get a fraction of a second of movement even with perfect lancet micro.

[@objectiveice573]

Hey!! here to try and clarify thigns from what I have heard: if your weapon is maxed out and you have the item for ascended weaponry then the next chest will always give the weapon.

[@SilvaDreams]

Clover is really important for using pentagram because it deleting items is luck based. So the better your luck the less likely it is going to nuke your items on screen.

[@TheThunderMunch]

@@Blubbpaule Ah I see, My bad I should have looked into it more closely.

[@pixelator5312]

well, while technically possible, the character may as well only be unlockable by cheating; the reaper has around 650,000 hp for every level you have, meaning by the time you see him, his hp will likely be in the tens of millions, not to mention the fact that a new one spawns every minute

[@mr.cryosx4587]

You should try a time lance run, last as long as you can

[@nisqhog2881]

You should definitely try to go for a built to kill Death, if at all possible. He is immune to Pentagram and the Rosary screen clear, but you've clearly shown it can be frozen and blocked with Lurel, so with a really high DPS run it might just be possible to end him :D

the Reaper has around 655,350 HP and then multiplied by your current level when they spawn. With that in mind, if an average run spawns Reapers somewhere between level 60 and 100, each Reaper will have between 35,000,000 and 65,000,000 HP

I am not sure if you'Re genuinely not aware of it or if it's just the way you'Re wording things in the heat of the moment, but if you're eligible for an Evolved Weapon (i.e. have the base Weapon at max and the corresponding Support weapon), the next chest will ALWAYS contain the Evolved weapon.
