Can hot rope gold challenge be nerfed?

[Gami Khan]

Really impressive some people got it but I have everything gold but this, it seems impossible, it is hard to get to 20 already, I have no idea why it goes from 10 to 50, meanwhile most challenges are just x2 or x3. This is x5 and it has the hardest ramping of them all.

Did they accidentally make it 50 instead of 20 or 30?

I really dont want to spend 5 hours more on this please

[Gami Khan]

To go further, most items they drop do nothing, instead of actually giving you something useful like, guardian hearth or topaz or guitar, they give you attack speed which only works to throw your rythm off.

I have no idea how you only start with a single feather, I legit dont know if they forgot to put legendary dagger or something, seems so ridiculous.

[Dreams of Fury]

The last time I tried I was missing a few chars still.....only trial I didnt have completed at least once....unsure I'll ever be able to gold it knowing that info...

[Ser Pounce]

This is the worst challenge hands down IMO.

[Gami Khan]

Not including that you dont level up for some reason and that eventually the magma boss spawns.

I did MOST of them on gold by now, only have 3 or 4 left to beat on gold/beat at all. It was agony, I have many reasons to believe they have rarely been playtested. Some are actually even rng, soooo yeah, thats horrible. The trials on gold should be hard, but this is just nuts.
Again, I beat most of them on gold, cause I hate myself. So you can't give me any "skill issue" nonsense.
The rope challenge was the first challenge that took me 3 hours to get on gold

Yeah it should be like 25 or 30 for gold imo.

While I agree that the trial is unpleasant because of how bad the attack delay is, getting the rhythm of it makes it playable. Others like Routine Maintenance and Juggling Priorities being RNG nightmares and Go on Without me and Ruins of The Future feeling like they weren't even playtested. My money is on Routine Maintenance out of the 26 I've tried so far, once the boss shows up it feels blatantly unfair.

The rythm isn't even the issue for me. It's bad enough to do that but you also have to dodge flaming elites that are chasing you everywhere and they also electrify ropes, and you have like 5 hits worth of HP.

Oh and the reward is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ white item. Amazing.

If you're really having that much trouble with the enemies then just hop onto the platforms and shoot them when they come into your line of sight, or jump and shoot on the platforms if you have the hang of that. I found it super helpful stopping every now and then when an elite would land on a platform to just shoot them since you do pretty good damage and can kill most of the enemies in like one or two hits

That doesn't work because both the birds can spawn in bad positions to rush you, and the lemurians can spawn DIRECTLY inside you, so you will take fire dmg. And once the fire boss spawns, that strat is over anyway
I got it on gold, so I can point out all that shet perfectly, and if feels like you didn't

[MaybeyBelle]

I completed this challenge after like idk, 5 hours. It is almost absolutely essential that you hit targets with every charge of laser glaive you get. This helps clear out the birds and lemurians easily as the targets are the only stationary object you can aim at. Past ~30 targets the bugs start spawning making glaive hits even more important because their attacks will interrupt your regeneration. If you missed your rope use the dash to zip onto a nearby rope, or aim for the bounce pads at the bottom; fall damage is a really sucky way to die in this challenge. Be careful you don't get stuck at the bottom of the stage as that's where lemurians tend to hang out. After 50 targets are cleared cremators spawn. Good luck.

Woke up this morning and after my morning coffee I decided to finnally beat it......4 hours later I managed a win, with renewed determination i set off to get gold.....another 3 hours and the best I'v managed is 23.....if the number was set to 25 I'd push to beat it, if it was 30 I'd come back later....but as of right now as its 50 I'm not gonna bother cause even my best run was more chaotic than an RoR2 monsoon run over an hour in before I was just insta dead from almost full hp.

I have no trouble getting to 25 on most attempts, the issue I usually run into is either performance issues tanking my FPS or just not getting the timing right on the arrows and the glaive and eventually getting caught by a flying enemy while i'm trying to get the target that's at the very bottom of a long rope towards the bottom. I feel like if the glaive is close enough to an enemy when you initially throw it then it should lock onto that enemy, not just after it's already hit an enemy.

This would more than make it doable......and would probably not lost a few runs in the main game if it was a thing.

tbf, that would make it TOO easy, and could also break some parts of both the challenge and the main game
