I am having problems figured out how and what the best way to kill enemies with Thorn, i still need to kill about 20k enemies before i can try to do the 15 minute Thorn challenge.

Also trying to get Dog Rog, i can't seem to get the Desert map tile to spawn, i keep getting the desert tile with a bunch of rocks and not a sandy desert any idea how to proceed?

And Lastly i am completely stuck on the C-Rank Risk of Storm hard mode challenge, i can only get to about halfway through Stage 3 before i get my face rolled in. Is it luck and RNG or is there a better strategy cuz the one posted by Troop and tried and got murdered.

Any help towards any of these would be appreciated.
Thanks

*bump*

Risk of storm is ridiculous with the current update, tried lots of different strategies, nothing works. Always got rekt somewhere between mid lvl3 and Necromant.
Anyone got an idea how to get it?

Did Risk of Storm recently. Started bow and rushed explosive bow, then went into death scythe and sola's lance. Played quick-game, try to select a path that goes through as many chest/shops/? as possible to avoid corruption build up. Avoid any "survive" stages as possible. Try to stay near the spawn point in each stage, so you aren't too far from the pillar when it spawns, and some extra dash charges/regen can help getting to it quickly

Also, the corruption build-up in the mode is added on after your personal corruption, so any +corruption Modifier% cards won't affect it, so picking up Blood Candle won't increase your corruption at all, while still increasing your base purification. Also things like Unholy Aura can be picked up safely

Got it now.

The way I did it was:

Started off with the duelist with crystal sword, solar stone, sun stone, wind stone and anachronistic hourglass in a quick game. Katana, death aura and fire ring followed. Got crystal sword to lvl 9, evolved and lvled silphs blade to 8, arcanists staff to 9 and jaälds amulet to 7.
I maxxed out all sprint-cards, got oil and starting from around mid-world 3 I used Anachronistic (with the shop-upgrade for invincibility while using Anachronistic) to kill off enough enemies so I had 2 or 3 seconds time to recharge the sprints. Would've been a lot easier if I had gotten Sage's leaf as that would've bought me enough time to recharge dashes, but it's possible to do it without the leaf.
