How long should it take to kill death?

[manollette]

Doing a run on the forest, and was an idiot. Forgot to snag the lancet, so now I'm chilling here with the crimson shroud, bloody tear, la borra, unholy vespers, death spiral, and soul eater, all just slowly ticking down their health. I'm at 47 minutes, fighting 18 deaths, and my health just barely ticks down before restoring. There's no end in sight.

Death has 6.(something)million HP for every level you have when it spawns. It will take a very very long time if you don't have the HP halving effect of the corridor.

[manollette]

...I also snagged the gold ring, so between that and the shroud components, his health's been increased by another ~90% too.

Guess I'll be minimizing the game and letting it be for a while

I did it yesterday it took 184 minutes in total (including the 30min start) with 80% curse and level 156
but I think I had 260% might with Pugnola which helped

it's about 650k per level I believe

Why? Just quit out and evolve the clocklance and laurel and you can kill death tens of times rather than wait for this botched run to finish?

[manollette]

Because I am simultaneously stubborn and unreasonable. Been running this whole time, there's quite the ball of deaths.

[Shinneh]

AFAIK you don't get any eggs for doing it unless you use the evolved lancet, so even if and when you manage it, all you'll get is the character unlock.

People have been "stuck" in this situation for hours on end. I'd just quit and do it properly if it were me.

[manollette]

I also got a few unlocks by virtue of successes with the character and items. I've got other games I'm playing anyways, no harm letting this bad boy run in the background for the remainder of the night.

about 48seconds to 1 and a half minutes due to the combination of the Crimson shroud + the Infinite Corridor.

You uh...may have missed a couple details in my original post.

[Arlian Sellan]

11~13 infinite corridor cycles on average. (it tends to be 31:10~31:50 with maxed empty tome)

That is approximately ~1/2000 to 1/8000 of the enemy's original HP.

If we assume level 200, a death will have 131mil HP base.
I have maxed curse, so +50% HP.
I run Poppea so add 50% there.
I get the gold ring and right arrow so +40% each.
If I ran with box, that's another +100% curse
Since curse stacks additively, we can easily crunch: 240% curse (x3.4 HP).

Bone Zone adds 3% HP for every minute (30 mins = +90% HP) (this stacks multiplicatively)

131 000 000 x 3.4 x 1.9 = 846 260 000

If you use infinite corridor, it'll take about 13 cycles to down it assuming you have a load out decent enough to get you to 30 minutes on one of the hardest areas in the game. 13 cycles = 1/8192, or reducing death to a much more reasonable 103 303 HP.

Since you're running forest, you don't have as many curse multipliers, but the answer would depend on your curse, whether you got skull o'maniac, and your level. Also, the special white hand ending only happens if you have clock lancet. Without that, you'll progress forever, killing deaths far slower than they spawn.

if you are level 100 or more, you are going to be there for about 4-12 hours.

Damn, that was quite the thorough answer, cheers. I've pretty much resolved myself to having it run overnight. No curse, skull at only level 1, me at level 113, and the guy's got health boosts from the gold ring & crimson shroud stuff. Assuming a roughly 70m health base and a grand total of 100% health boost (45% each from the items, 10 from the skull), I'll be chunking through about 140m health over the next god-knows-how-many hours. I'm assuming on the slightly low end for my damage of 1k/s, but that's still well over a day, so I guess I'm bailing on this bad boy. Damn shame on the unlocks, really wish there was a suicide option or something for the run.

As an experiment I left my the game running for a while and got a run without Corridor up to 1100 minutes before I got tired of leaving my computer on and needing to have the window partially visible to keep it from pausing (power saver turning off the monitor also paused the game). Character was in the 130s I think.

Someone else had mostly defensive items/perks and posted about a 2000+ minute run chugging along. Don't remember what character or if any other details were offered. I think that was the thread where people were theorycrafting it would take that person a week, which also led me to stopping where I did.

If you quit you won't lose anything. Even if you kill a a death without infinite corridor the game will just keep going forever.
