For those curious about the Watering Gun (SPOILERS)

[ruff1298]

Choose the Forest Stage.

Attack the trees until you kill one. The other trees will now get mad and start floating at you. Destroy them, too.

At 0:01, a new secret Demon Tree Boss will appear, the run will not end until you destroy it. Defeat it, and you unlock the Watering Gun.

Good info. Cheers.

Edit: Got the weapon, tried it at D15. My brain was f*cking exploding. Using this weapon was absolutely mentally exhausting. It's a neat challenge, but I don't want to use it ever again. I'm gonna go to sleep now...

I somehow did this completely accidentily

The water gun is absolute trash
What am I suppose to hit when it only has the range of 1 ft?

Attack plant

Uh...all I had to do was buy it from the weapon menu after the update.

Shoot plant. More hits = more plant does stuff. If anything seems to get too close, ignore plant and shoot thing directly (example: ghosts in pumpkin patch).

Basically get anything that deals AoE damage around self such as Gale or Scythe. Hina's summon should work too.

Plant works best with a pure/near pure summon build since it automates the entire process. Just pick up Ice with %HP damage to deal with bosses, since the bubble gun is itself pretty strong (git gud in knife-fight range with ice-locking bosses). Eventual build will be a summon fire rate->movespeed build that just walks around with self-centered summons/AoEs and deleting anything nearby.

I haven't done a watergun run with Hina, but I used Hastur since the tentacles provide some wide cover over a small area with very little input which makes early game easier. Hina's a more manual process.

Also the new projectile shield in the defensive runes is pretty strong. Cuts down on the things you have to dodge. So consider that if you're struggling.

Yes, you're supposed to use your spore artillery. It synergizes great with a Summon build as they'll be able to trigger the plant for you.

Same.. and then I was wondering why the tree boss doesn't turn up each run at the end. I though the new boss was a new addition that came with the 1.0 release.

[SCamp]

After doing some runs with it, anything that damages enemies will damage the plant (Glare, wind upgrades, most projectiles...) and contribute hits towards activating the spore fountain.

I believe the ideal scenario to maximize the plant is to use Shana for Specialize, then triple either Scythe starter, Summon Attack Speed, Glare Speed just so you can freely use the watergun for actual DPS/self-defense.

here i'm doing a diamond elemental-bullet build, absolute torture until first evolution, breeze after that though

i'd say double shot and fusillade are absolute must with this weapon

[sepplin]

im pretty sure i got it in my first ever run i just realized its meant to be a secret item after searching for builds. which is hilarious

[Gotam]

So you're saing that this boss fight is optional? I thought it is just final boss of the stage
