Corrupted avatar unlock

[n8c]

Just as a quick note for anyone searching:
Couldn't be bothered getting the old guide to work (Death Scythe), annoyed the hell out of me after a few tries.

Solution: Get quick levelup whichever way you like, as in "stack xp boosters" and get munching. E.g. https://i.imgur.com/4EaAwFT.png
You can get 6 additional artifact drops from chests e.g. for https://i.imgur.com/if4WCxf.png to give you a nice boost.

Knockback is king for later, and area as well. Of course some amount of attack speed. Didn't exactly pinpoint it since it worked first try. Think I was around 700 or 800...

The only thing that matters in the end is that you get a proper amount of knockback from Cleaver https://i.imgur.com/cFxBfd2.png
This means maxing knockback (duh!) but also maxing area!
I would assume this should be all, but maybe it was also my addition of Singularity Gland https://i.imgur.com/24Fxapv.png
Not 100% sure. I simply wanted to try it in the first run because of "enemies see their time slow-down". And then the first run just worked :D

The rare event that something flies by (happens a few times, like 3-4), though I didn't actually SEE anything, is of course taken care of by our friendly bubble boy artifact https://i.imgur.com/HNZ7AOm.png

I don't know if these actually even damage you, just felt right to keep moving not to mess up the run in case they DO.

One thing I would highly recommend is avoiding even the tiniest bit of corruption.
Corruption gives speed, I don't want them coming close so no to that.

The char doesn't really seem to matter, I butchered additional projectiles (+14 on a 6-cap or something) as well as attack speed (700-800 on a 2k max rofl).

Let me know if I just lucked somehow or if this is reproducible.
The exp stop at 200 is pure chance and not a cap, btw. It's just where the scales tipped so hard I stopped killing stuff.
Which *also* might be a relevant thing to be doing because seemingly the menu can potentially kill you (monsters continue sliding for a bit, maybe that's just the additional three meters they needed to hit you...).

worked great! cleaver is huge, i also did the cards that increase weapon size as well too, i managed it at like 300% weapon attack speed, but i think having a massive weapon size helped to counter the lack of speed

Corrupted Core artifect is also huge for this.
level 8 Cleaver has insane stats and pair that with high overall attack speed and you good.

Yeah, that's the established method. Dog Rog helps too for the knockback boost but you're right, especially now with gear options and all that, the character doesn't matter.

Starting with Cleaver as the weapon with trainer's glove helps. SSS trainer's gives lvl 8 start for the weapon, and then knight's amulet (dual wielding reward) can give a second starting weapon at lvl 1.

Knight's amulet is random, so if you don't find another one with knockback, or thorn, whatever you want.... keep running dual wielding for more options. All taken from the guides/talking to other folks on here who have learned from the guides.

Good call to note the menu slip too. cheers.
