Need tips for boss rush

[Grubberdeck]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get all the characters notes stamped with red outlines and the only thing that's missing on all my characters (exept Azazel ofcourse) is the red outlined Boss Rush stamp. I realy don't like rushing in this game because, for starters, I'm not at a level of skill to justify rushing and I hate the time pressure.

Do you guys got any tips to make rushing a bit more fun?

(On a side note: I didn't unlock mr Lost because.. yeah.. a bit out of my league right now. I envy ppl who have the boss rush stamp on that char. I will get it eventualy tho.. I hope :P)

there is nothing different on hard mode about boss rush, so the challenge will be equally the same (at least from my experiences.) just getting there, is different.

you should always rush to begin with, because there really is no reason to stay on one floor for like, 4 minutes, floor times should go like this: B/CEL: 1-1:30 minutes, CAT/CAV: 2-3 minutes, NE/DE: 5-6 minutes and there is your times for boss rush. (note: i do not have a source for this, these are the times i got for rushing, but taking your time. don't let the time get you, take your time, but don't take TOO much time, it really just becomes an every run thing as you get better. honestly, i'd recommend beating the game as the lost, you will value time as the lost, and you will get much better from beating the game as the lost. it's hard to believe just a couple runs, and winning them, can get you so much better.

Thanks for your quik reply! I think I just have to let go of my beloved tactical play (make the most out of every floor) and settle for a bit less on some floors.
The principle of the Lost is just bonkers to me :P.. not getting hit?!.. I haven't even unlocked the Dark Boy achievement (Don't take damage on chapter 3). So I will fill in the boss rush stamps for the main chars first.. If I can stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up 2nd floor guppy because of the time pressure

you'll unlock dark boy with lost. you can get the holy mantle, and you get hit once per room, which isn't bad. but the best thing about lost is that you can take devil deals for free, so if you find brimstone, it's pretty much gg. it took me a couple tries, but i did it. the hardest one is the lamb, so i would just be ready for that one.

Yeah the Lamb is a real pain. Free devil deals are alright but still, I'm gonna need holy mantle unless I 'git gut' and I hate the idea of holding R until the item spawns right next to me but we'll see how it goes. I'm not unlocking Mr Lost before I get all my red stamps on the 'easyer' chars. It's gonna be a pain but that's part of the game I guess. "get good and don't cry" :P.. :)... :l ... :( .... :'(
