    There are 3 versions of the shambler, this one was the lvl 1, the less lethal, you can kill it with some teams (you had no chance to do it with this one). The lvl 3 version is already very hard to kill and the lvl 5 one well, even with lvl 6 chars with the best trinkets you can be lucky enough to kill it without losing one of your members, and many times you'll lose all of them. About the crusader, there is no point starting a fight in rank 1, because you want to use holy lance at least once. Famous quote in this game: "remind yourself, overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer". I give you a lot of credit trying to fight the shambler with no info about it. I did it too and i lost my whole team aswell :) Good luck for next time. Cheers.

    • @damionblackgear
      @damionblackgear 9 років тому

      +ipadletter crom I honestly think I could've done it with that team had I not tried to retreat at all. Just all in.

    • @ipadlettercrom7534
      @ipadlettercrom7534 9 років тому

      +damionblackgear You could maybe kill the shambler but you would have probably died because of the tentacles anyway. Of course i can't be 100% sure because you could have crit 100% during all the combat but it's very unlikely. No offense intended. There is no harder fight in this game including all the bosses. With lvl 2 chars fully upgraded and equiped with great trinkets, it's another story obviously. Anyway you tried it, now you are prepared for the next time.

    Keeper's triple shot is not actually the Inner Eye, it doesn't have the innate low tear rate multiplier. If you get enough tear ups you can shoot as fast as normal tears (the skinny odd mushroom is great for example). Interesting character, I still don't know whether it's best to go for devil deals or angels. My successful runs were all through devil deals I think.

  • @AaronCobbAaronCobbAaronCobb
    @AaronCobbAaronCobbAaronCobb 9 років тому

    Your brimstone was short because you got Proptosis I think. It lowers your range, and I guess it overrode the brimstone damage range but not the brimstone graphic effect? I was trying to see if getting range increases after brought your brimstone back...

  • @omeg666
    @omeg666 9 років тому

    I wish I had used that 1 dice room, Tech X + Eve's Mascara + Soy Milk looks pretty insane. It's weird that Proptosis reduces Brimstone damage at far ranges, it's never a damage down for normal tears. I guess some artifact of beam synergy changes. Also you can use the "HOHOHOHO" seed for the santa hat. It doesn't block unlocks :)

It feels gimmicky and easily countered as you're too focused on accomplishing that singular task. If I did it today, there would be changes but, Rites wouldn't be one of them.
