Seems like something you’ll only be able to do with the right equipment. Maybe try stocking up on haste potions or shrouded fog, or have an artifact like the hourglass or chains to help avoid the rocks better.

They charm you, and once you’re charmed they can heal when they hit you next.

I swear this was posted verbatim exactly one year ago.

You’re complaining about a harmless cute easter egg that changes a simple food item into another food item, for a tiny window of time. Seems kind of silly to worry about it.

Rat king crown upgrade is the only true answer.

Is rotberry still infinitely replantable? I forgot about that, never bothered to use it that way

Why is there jam at the end of the knife?

It’s surprisingly common.

Why does black get to go first? 1. E5? (good meme though)

There was an incomplete “disguised” buff in the game that gave you glasses and a mustache. It was supposed to make you into another class, but I don’t remember if it actually did anything.

Show me those fingers first!

Ah, I see. More AI art.

With respect to Bulk, I believe it used to be that the Stone glyph and Bulk curse were one and the same, and set up as a curse. It was later updated so that the positive and negative traits were separated from each other.

You know it would be cool if the Bulk curse gave you extra inventory slots or something, that would be interesting.

Ooooh of course! I knew Stam was useful but SF lets you hide and attack at the same time. Wow, I think I’ve been overlooking that potion…

I think everyone knows someone who died from death. Truly tragic.

Those pesky scorpios are sooo annoying though, sometimes in high challenge runs it’s impossible

I haven’t used it much but I could see it being really useful in berserker builds. Also pair it with a ring of accuracy and you could have a pretty good setup.

Also champion build, could be useful shield + flail combo. The duelist’s ability on the flail also negates the issue of the accuracy penalty (guaranteed hit) while also providing extra damage, which seems insane because at high levels, this is the highest damaging weapon in the game. Keep in mind too with champion build you can swap to the other weapon to sneak attack if need be.

I think I’ll give it a try at least on my next run.

Now, what’s the goofiest way to defeat Yog with this insane haul? Unlimited scrolls of Anti-Magic? Enthrall all the larvae and ripper demons with siren’s song as soon as they spawn? Just chuck an endless stream of holy bombs? The possibilities are endless!

Upgraded heavy boomerang as huntress sniper with the bow augmented for damage.

Damage augment sniper shots take 2 turns, which is the exact amount of time it takes for the heavy boomerang to return. Yog becomes the easiest boss fight ever with this strat.

Honourable mention: Assassin build with the whip is insanely good. Get a ring of haste and you’re basically unstoppable.

That’s a neat sprite. Can’t wait to see this!
