Thinking of doing some recording... What would people like to see?

[The G-Meister]

I'm thinking of re-igniting my YouTube channel (or creating a new one), and was wondering what people would like to see? An in-depth let's play where I cover load of tips, tricks, hints and hidden secrets? Some amazing builds I've come to know and love along my way which can take you through the story as it is? Arcade mode fails? (That last one sounds like a montage job...) Anything else?

I could also sum up a bunch of helpful stuff on this forum into neat little videos for beginners (or anyone) to learn, maybe some how-to's with skills, some farming strats? Trick shots and epic combos? Pop a vote in the poll or give me a reply, I'd like to see what people want

You demand, I supply

Sounds interesting. What do you mean by "Helpful forum stuff"? Picked every point except for this one by now.

Hard mode.

No skills. No talents. No sidequests. No killing any monsters you can reasonably avoid doing so. No buying equipment.

See how far you can get. Maybe you'll get lucky and the Elite Jumpkin will drop it's hat and card.

Sounds like a challenge... sure why not! with a good enough shield it shouldn't be too hard... right? And do you mean in one life, or until it's literally impossible to continue?

I'm mainly relating to Own's posts here eg. using Manaburn for an effective magic build. Basically more tips n' tricks I spose ^-^

Not one life. Try as much as you like. I guess that means you could technically grind on rooms you have to kill # enemies to get through, if you keep dying.

Also, I don't think it's ever literally impossible to continue. If it were, then Teddy couldn't reasonable expect anyone to get double S-Ranks on Season Temple in Arcade. I assume he believes it's possible to beat that boss without taking damage, at least.

Aight... Gonna be a good time to get some practice at attack patterns and dealing with bunches of enemies... Exactly what I need for arcade! ^-^

One more thing, crafting/finding gear?

 

[Own]

*shrugs* If you can without grinding for it / intentionally dying for it. Respawning barrels and barrel bashing would probably count as grinding.

 

[The G-Meister]

... You just foiled my entire plan -_-

Now this is going to be difficult

One question @Own... Have you tried this yourself?

I've been doing a tryout run and it's so difficult that I think a Barrel Shield is almost necessary, especially with Phaseman. I'm pretty sure just 1 of his projectiles will insta-break it, no matter what colour... so unless you intended this to be a rage thing... Not sure I'm gonna get very far >_<

 

[Own]

Nope, I just gave you a challenge I didn't think would be particularly easy. Something no one else had done, good video content.

I'm 99% it's feasible, it's probably just not easy. You probably wanna stay far away from Phaseman and bob between his shots, only hitting when it's 100% safe.

 

[The G-Meister]

We should call it the "Secrets of ea" challenge... because it takes out the grind

I've beaten Phaseman with the wooden shield on Hard with Flamethrower so it it's possible. I'm not sure how it's damage is compared to other spells but I'd think it has around the same damage as the others.

I'm not allowed to use any spells

A squire's sword (And maybe a carrot if it gets too hard) are my best bets

Uhh.. That might be a little bit too hard I feel. I mean Phaseman has some spots where you can stand to be safe from his bullet hell phases but it would take you ages to kill him and I don't know if anyone can avoid his attacks that well.

Actually... Let me try that now.

 

[The G-Meister]

I know all the sweet spots for dodging his attacks, but when you're level 5 and only have 145 or whatever health, which was the point I was up to, you only have room to take about 3-4 hits from his projectiles.

 

[The G-Meister]

And you do as much damage as a shrimp.

Yeah the damage isn't great. It's basically just dodging like a rabby on sterioids until you've defeated him. XD

 

[The G-Meister]

I nearly did it, but decided to call it quits after a while. Your shield breaks about 10 times during the fight though, which is a pain. The worst thing was, you can only take 4 hits. :/

A rabby on steroids in a metal body that shoots out laser balls, yes.
