No-Move challenge

[Kabraliah]

Saw it on youtube. You're not allowed to walk, AT ALL, not even to quickly position yourself, and not even "just a little bit" to open a chest. You're supposed to finish at the exact same spot you started. It's just your luck, picking the correct weapons, and buying powerups.

I know it's doable (and winnable) with Poe at the Library, but I've seen people mention it's also doable with Antonio and Clerici.

I tried with Poe. So far my best was around 20 minutes, then got swarmed by witches.

Damn I wouldn't have thought that was even possible. That said I don't have much experience with the game yet.

I lasted...3 minutes...the first boss killed me ><

[Kabraliah]

Ah damn, so close! 24 minutes, then Count Dracula ended me :(

I feel like the only way this would be possible is if you get both Axe and Bible evolution...

[Kabraliah]

So far I've been doing well with magic wand, fire wand, whip, lancet, garlic and bible.

Then for trinkets it's mainly attractorb (until the gems at the end of the whip area are pulled), bracer (bibles spin faster), duplicator (always), empty tome (lowers cooldowns and makes garlic procc faster), spinach (more damage), and Spellbinder (makes lancet last longer)

Takes A LOT of restarting until you get the right RNG. 90% of the time the first big Mummy kills you.

EDIT: I may replace one of the weapons with a Laurel, maybe the fire wand. Poor Poe can't take hits.

Empty Tome doesn't affect Garlic. It's CDR field is effectively "N/A" (not affected).

Garlic's evolution is however affected by how much you've healed total since picking it up. So, if you play Clerici and get Soul Eater, you can pickup Hollow Hearts afterwards and then power it up. I don't know if it works with HP regen admittedly. It might just be from generic healing instead.

I'm assuming there's way more to this than just hope and a prayer. Turn eggs off? features? power-ups? Otherwise, it's not really a challenge if you have eggs or certain features and power-ups.

My first time getting to the final boss I chose to play as Peppino because I thought it was just going to be a quick cut scene and it would be funny to see a tree in the final cut scene.

Well about 10 seconds later I'm in a bullet hell as a tree who can only move 1 inch per hour but somehow I survived.

Not being able to move is a fun challenge. You probably want to pick a character with a already evolved base weapon , Silent old sanctuary if going with just a single weapon or two maybe, Mad groove and some pick up range so you can still get EXP.

Eggs would make it easy which removes the whole challenge so I would say turn those off , Santa water / La Borra are really good for just standing still but you need something to keep you alive until you get that rolling.

Yeah it was from before eggs were implemented

Okay, that makes more sense lol. Yeah, I'd be curious. Definitely a lot more luck based. If no eggs, then I'm assuming no arcana. This makes it WAY harder. Certainly makes garlic, bible, wand, and magnet infinitely more desirable.

Pentagram is often used to destroy all the XP that accumulated too far away, creating a red Gem, allowing you to earn XP again.
