How to kill Death?

[Angerpull]

The old strategy with Clerici doesn't work anymore. Anyone got an updated guide?

[Angerpull]

Nevermind, I figured out my dumb mistake hahaha.

Don’t follow those outdated youtube exploits using clerici or leda. Any character can do it on any level by just getting the clock lancelot and laurel evos. This is the official way to do it now, using those outdated exploits will just make things way harder and waste your time.

Well I did unlock him on my first try right after my post, and the official way to do it would of taken forever, because death recieves 655,000 something health every level you gain. So if you reached level 100 that would mean Death has 655,000 times 100 health which means he has: 65,000,000 health. No thank you.

I admit i used infinite corridor and crimson shroud to cheese him.

Really doesn't take long, maybe another 5 minutes max.

Nope, it doesn’t take long at all actually once you get the clock lancelot and crimson shroud evos and any kind of build. Infinite corridor halves his health every time time it flashes or soemthing like that, so if you actually tried it you would have found it way easier and faster guaranteed. I killed death in less than a minute at the end.

Crimsom shroud basically makes you immortal, and infinite corridor halves all enemies health with every hit so it not takes forever, sometimes just takes like 30 seconds to kill the death.

My last game: https://i.gyazo.com/d476b8040c716db521367b16a698e555.png

Inverse mode (enemies with +200% health), I killed the death at 30:46, I don't know why they put the final time at 31:00

And that HP pool doesn't matter, Death dies really, really fast through the official means, he's losing half his HP every few seconds, so that 65 million health becomes 32 million (rounding down for simplification), then 16 million, then 8, then 4, 2, 1 and on and on, and in a minute or so he loses almost his entire health pool and you're never at risk of dying to him, I think that at most it too me 2 minutes when I was at level 600 or so

The time is automatically upped to 31:00 when killing Death too fast so you still get the Arcana unlocks for surviving at least 31 minutes on the different maps.

1. Set your weapon to 1
   
2. Wicked season+boogaloo of illusion+mad groove
   
3. Open chests during luck phase
   
4. Obtain Laurel with candy box and evolve it to crimson shroud
   
5. Limit break the hell out of those weapons

How did you make it work? I'm trying to do the same but Death always comes around the table

Zebefreo above is correct: The key is to get "Mad Groove" Arcana so those far-away items come to you. Unless you're an expert or a sadist, don't pick it as your starting Arcana -- pick it as the 2nd one (around 10 minutes). The items will come to YOU, along with their mini-bosses.

...but the problem is, you don't get Mad Groove until you've survived to minute 31 in the Mad Forest to begin with!

So pick a fast character whose passives you like, start in the Mad Forest, and PLAN YOUR LOADOUT on the pause screen before you even get started. If you take a base-speed character like knife-barbarian, and you get started running North ~immediately, aiming a weaving path toward as many bats as possible to level up as you go, then you should be able to do a clockwise or counter-clockwise circle in about 21 minutes. You'll need to get Laurel and both rings FULLY upgraded (7,9,9), and yet still constantly be upgrading weapons so you can actually level enough stuff to accomplish that. Just having the Laurel plus a reasonably upgraded Clock Lancet will freeze Death and take enough hits to keep you alive for 60 seconds -- dance around so the clock always strikes him while he's popping Laurel layers on you.

You won't be able to actually kill Death until you get BOTH the Laurel+rings AND the Clock Lancet + pointy-sticks fully leveled, which is ~50 levels' worth of upgrades on their own. I like to add Curse in there too, to really maximize how many enemies there are to farm.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer, I actually managed to kill death in the Mad Forest.. I was trying to exploit the Clerici Method but eventually ended up grinding up and slaying Death with Lancet and Lauriel evolutions.

Although I read you answer after doing this, you cleared my mind on what the Mad Groove does! And it sounds like it makes everything so much easier. Does it bring treasure chests too?
