Hey Ed you wanna maybe fix the broken Pokey Mans challenge? It is stupid as ♥♥♥♥!

[TTV - Vidavis Prime]

Why do 90% of the things that come out of the ball die instantly? And why is it that some allies spawn more allies but other allies spawn hostiles? Or why does the medium dingle guy spawn hostile dips that instantly kill him and turn him into the smaller dingle things and they are hostile! Yet the gish dingle thing when he dies he makes ally baby gishes! WTF! FIX YO ♥♥♥♥!

You could just ignore the poke ball and it turns into the purist challenge.

[WRuddick]

yeah, that challenge is a lot easier if you just ditch the damn thing and play normally

all the charmed mobs are a huge distraction from dodging

[TTV - Vidavis Prime]

Oh you are soooooooo right, the very first try of never using the ball, I beat the challenge, the unlock seems pretty cool!

[gruel]

If you can spawn a couple brimstone ghosts or allies, the challenge is a cakewalk

[Axiom]

It looks like I was the only one who didn't ditch the poke ball in this challenge :D Not that I was very attached to it though, it just seemed hilarious to have a ton of charmed mobs, and I didn't find a better spacebar item anyway.

Then again, I've never seen a charmed mob spawning hostiles...

I was having a good run on this challenge, I had a few of the big guys that spawn brains. Then the game crashed. I assume too many followers.

I managed to get a single bloodshot eye in the bottom right corner and it carried me to Caves I, it died somewhere in there. rip.

The instant death is a tradeoff for the fact that if an allied monster dies, it recharges the pokeball.

But I do agree, the entire challenge is an RNG crapshoot and has multiple bugs and issues with it that really need fixed.

When I tried this challenge my ball kept exploding somehow. I'd grab an enemy, release it, and it just explodes - with the sound and the animation and everything... but of course the explosions didn't do any damage to the enemies. Weirdest glitch I've seen in a while.

The ball starts already auto filled so what do you mean by grab an enemy?

Sorry. I guess I wasn't really thinking when I typed that part. I haven't had a coffee yet today :P

Any enemy that is two enemies in one (i.e. mask + heart) will self-destruct, because one can't live without the other. If you're throwing the ball directly into the paths of enemies, most of your summons are going to die immediately because they start with only one health.

[KashiKakes]

enemies spawned constantly just glitch out and get stuck in a corner never doign anythign useful again.

sometimes enemies spawned can hurt you on touch
sometimes enemies spawned just isntantly kill themselves
spawned bomb flies just immediately exploded when going into another room immediately killing all my other monsters
enemies that make other enemies sometimes make friendly ones and sometimes make hostile ones!
90% of spawned enemies are flies that just immediately die to anything since they don't seem to do contact damage when they're friendly? I had 2 friendly globins who just walked into enemies and did 0 damage to them and then died/regenerated and repeated forever.

thsi challenge is a giant mess just like most of this DLC and is genuinely disappointing

My game crashed too because of the same thing, then I realized the continue mechanic exists and finished the run.
