kinda late but same here lol. after a few hours of my runs regularly eating it around 13 min mark, i somehow made it to 27 min-ish with Po (garlic dude) on library. and when my wand and fireballs evolved during the run, and then that run ate hard shit, i thought, "alllright time to scope this out on UA-cam, theres clearly more going on here, that i reallllly dont want to discover on my own" thanks for this awesome video though dude 👍👍 gonna implement this wisdom for sure, and do so some experimenting with the evolved weps
For an absolute beginner I'd personally go with Garlic over the Laurel. Garlic does a number of great things for a new player: kills mobs on contact for early XP gems, increases knockback to create escape lanes when surrounded, and each tick of damage causes enemies to stutter for a frame. Also, the PowerUp option Amount is an amazing boost to offense, further enhanced when you unlock the Duplicator.
I'll be honest, my one issue with this video is that the mic makes your voice sound really harsh and it sounds like it's constantly clipping,. Other than that it was straight to the point, had a short intro, and very informational!
its an amazing game that has only gotten better and better since the last time i played it a bunch. as one of my first videos on youtube stated, its the best $3 spent on steam AND its now free on PC Game Pass too.
Im 3hrs in & had a great run in the library with max garlic and crosses and after I hit 30mins all enemies died & the vamp 1 hit me into oblivion! So I'll concentrate on maxing luck. Thanks for the tips
I dunno man. I go after the bosses. Easy chest drop for another upgrade. I didn't realize they do so much damage. I always get killed when I get swarmed in to badly.
If you mean the evolutions, yeah. You get a weapon to level 8, have the upgrade passive at any level, and chests can evolve your weapons. For union weapons you'll need both at level 8 but it works the same way, e.g. Peachone and Ebony Wings both at 8 and a chest will give you the upgraded bird.
That makes it relatively good for the linear stages like Inlaid Library or Gallo Tower, as 50% of the time it'll be directed towards one half of the stage and then 50% of the time at the other. You can combine that with stage terrain to bottleneck enemies in the path of the lancet.
Yes, in fact most strategies include only selecting matching “combinAtions” as the transformed weapons are much more powerful than non transformed weapons
I think it’s great early on and is easy to use. For your first 30 min “clear” it can also be quite helpful but I find that even with the evolution it does not scale as well as some of the other weapons when trying to min/max level clears within the time limit.
got the game today and love it! already got to 3 death/reaper boss fight, i think around 33 min. Dont waste upgrades on defensive stuff. Buy one or two points into em with gold before the start, otherwise focus on offensive traits/weapons. and skip out on garlic, its only good in the begging. Good vid though!
I’m making an advanced video that is on those lines. For beginners its helpful to help them learn and make progress. It’s only possible to get multi reaper through glitching/freezing as it instant runs at you and Insta kills you. Early on I got to 3 reapers by accident but there’s really no point as it’s meant to be an end of run mechanic and it’s about getting as high levels as possible beforehand. I’ll be making a video on that as well. Recently got lvl 146 (pb for someone that has had the game a little over a week).
@@Dyne191 that’s interesting. The reaper seems to go straight for me at laser speed and Indra kills. Only way I’ve ever “dodged” is freezing them and then refreezing before they got to me. No real benefit tho as nothing else drops
ok so the only thing I really got from this video was that frozen enemies can't hurt and I kinda thought I discovered that myself. A lot of this stuff is pretty apparent. It really does make for a great game when you just play it I guess.
Haha I see what you did there. The concept is that you LEArN HOw to survive to 30 minute. When a person is a beginner they most likely will die before reaching 30 minutes (the auto death point) a lot. 😂😎
Rewatched this and I didn’t think it was that bad 😞 I use a Logitech for Creators Blue Yeti X USB Microphone that costs like $160. Maybe the acoustics just aren’t to your liking as I record in my garage/man cave.
@@SuperWolfkin 👍 I think the acoustics in my garage where my studio is also could be better but there is no financially viable solution for me. Yay California cost of living insanity. I do my best and I hope look overall find my content helpful enough to overcome some of the technical shortcomings. In UA-cam there are always pitfalls. Atm, for example, I’m stuck not making any content for a while as my graphic card died and my monitor is on the Frits.such is life, gotta roll with the punches.
You showed us the consequence of getting hit by a boss instead of just explaining it for tip 9 - thank you!!!
I'm 6 hours in and was completely clueless about a lot of this, thanks!
Glad it helped!

I am currently addicted to this game, and these tips are super helpful. Thanks, Leeroy!
It should have been nominated for indie game of the year! They got robbed imo.
Kinda sucks
No matter how hard i try i always get 30 minutes in 30 minutes
I see what you did there… well played good sir lol

laurel is for wimps
Thank you for this video. I am watching it 11 months after it was posted and it is still super relevant!
I'll be honest, my one issue with this video is that the mic makes your voice sound really harsh and it sounds like it's constantly clipping,. Other than that it was straight to the point, had a short intro, and very informational!
Excellent tips. I’m a good 6-7 hours in and didn’t know most of them!
its an amazing game that has only gotten better and better since the last time i played it a bunch. as one of my first videos on youtube stated, its the best $3 spent on steam AND its now free on PC Game Pass too.
Thank you for this video, perfect for beginners.
Yw :)

Just got this for ps5, loving it, but wish cheat codes would work on console, but this video definitely helped
Luck was on my lowest priority lmao. Thank you for the tips
Very useful, thank you
Hi maybe you know it by now but your mic is clipping a bit, reduce the input volume slightly & it will sound better. Anyway good video!
this was helpful thx
Can you only get the combo weapons in the chests ?
If you mean the evolutions, yeah. You get a weapon to level 8, have the upgrade passive at any level, and chests can evolve your weapons. For union weapons you'll need both at level 8 but it works the same way, e.g. Peachone and Ebony Wings both at 8 and a chest will give you the upgraded bird.
omg lol, the clock lancet thing, had no idea
That makes it relatively good for the linear stages like Inlaid Library or Gallo Tower, as 50% of the time it'll be directed towards one half of the stage and then 50% of the time at the other. You can combine that with stage terrain to bottleneck enemies in the path of the lancet.
The chicken is a God send
if you're not into power gaming, then definitely power up Growth asap
Awesome video man, I have a hard time to play this game but Im already adicted lol so this maybe help me out! Keep the good work up! 😅
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video - thanks 🙏
I didn't know Joe Rogan was a god gamer. Thanks for the tips!
Joe Rogan? Explain?
@@LeeroyGaming you sound like Joe Rogan a little
@@BatKek oh haha. I used to watch his podcasts back when he was on UA-cam. I’ll take that as a compliment ;)
@@LeeroyGaming its true
Didnt notice this until i seen this comment but now all i hear is joe rogan lol
Hopefully you make an update to this im curious how it would turn out
4:55 Can you get multiple such “combinations” in one game, or are you hard limited to just one?
Yes, in fact most strategies include only selecting matching “combinAtions” as the transformed weapons are much more powerful than non transformed weapons
How do you feel about the Garlic? I have been using it a lot. Thanks for the video.
I think it’s great early on and is easy to use. For your first 30 min “clear” it can also be quite helpful but I find that even with the evolution it does not scale as well as some of the other weapons when trying to min/max level clears within the time limit.
@@LeeroyGaming Thanks for the reply! Appreciate it.
I can't find greed in my Power up system. How can I unlock it? I have growth but no greed
Lightning ring says, ignores: speed and duration. Does that mean if I buy duration book, that won't effect my lightning ring?
Correct. Projective/skill speed (the gloves) also don’t affect it. The lighting ring scales great with # of projectiles, cooldown, area of effect!
Bro that's the best into I've ever seen in my life. This dragon is so cool.
Lol ty
you sound like mark ruffalo. nice!
Hulk smash!?
Thank you!
In 3.5 hours of buying the game I somehow managed to clear stage 2💀 Got multiple of like, upgraded items in the run, OP as sh$$
Upgraded garlic heals too
i dont understand this game i evolved my weapons but every time i start a new game i have to re level the weapons again what am i doing wrong
Every time you play you start over. You just play different weapon combos to level as high as possible within the time limit
Welcome to Roguelikes.
Thank you
YW!
At first I really thought that it was Joe Rogan speaking 😂

Got to 33:07. Dodging the multiple reapers is crazy. Won't try to pass 4 though
@@Dyne191 that’s interesting. The reaper seems to go straight for me at laser speed and Indra kills. Only way I’ve ever “dodged” is freezing them and then refreezing before they got to me. No real benefit tho as nothing else drops
@@LeeroyGaming lancet and Laurel are the keys to dodging them. No benefit from doing so...wouldn't recommend. They one shot you
@@Dyne191 agreed
All of these power ups are completely random. You might play 30times in a row and never get an evolved before you get overrun.
My computer is so slow a 30min run is like an hour and a half lol
Ouch! Time to upgrade from that 486 😳😉
Crap, luck is that good? Welp, I'm resetting my power ups
Can make a big difference
@@LeeroyGaming beat my first stage today! This tips are top tier

It’s great that you picked up on all these things intuitively. Not everyone is so lucky so it helps them more
Luck is overpowered lol
Title get 30 min runs fast.... me asks so can you get a faster completion than 30mins...NOPE I feel so cheated
Haha I see what you did there. The concept is that you LEArN HOw to survive to 30 minute. When a person is a beginner they most likely will die before reaching 30 minutes (the auto death point) a lot. 😂😎
🤘🏾💯🎮
Geesus that intro.....what is this...2001 ???
So I gather that you’re not a fan of the intro? 😳
laurel is for wimps
"Get 30 minutes runs fast"
You can't really get a 30 minute run in less than 30 minutes.
🤦🏾♀️
It should be illegal to make a video with such a bad mic
Rewatched this and I didn’t think it was that bad 😞 I use a Logitech for Creators Blue Yeti X USB Microphone that costs like $160. Maybe the acoustics just aren’t to your liking as I record in my garage/man cave.
@@LeeroyGaming The au dio isn't great but it's perfectly tolerable.

talk slower bro
It’s funny because the counter to that is that many people want shorter videos and want me to get to the point quicker. I respect your opinion though.
@@LeeroyGaming I think you're pacing is perfect, maybe this guy just needs to play the video at 50% comprehension speed lol
@@Happyburn 😅
He was talking perfectly. Slow the video down if you need to.
One word, “Garlic”
Thank you
