Turbo Mode

[Steel, my beloved]

I'm having trouble reaching the Forge in Turbo Mode without additional modifiers, does anyone have tips for me to complete it?

There isn’t much to say, really. Turbo mode is just the same game but faster, so tips will just be the same other than slapping “do it faster” at the end of each one.

Pretty much this. Also play the game ONLY in Turbo mode until you get used to its speed, I know it's the obvious "no ♥♥♥♥ Sherlock" answer but it's still true, after you're used to the speed you will downright hate the Normal slug speed of the game. Good luck to you

Rainbow mode is the easier way to beat it. If you also got gun slinger, blackhole gun is a free "you win" as long as you still have ammo in it.

Side question: am I the only one that feels turbo mode is easier? Played a lot of Nuclear Throne before transitioning to EtG and the slow motion bullets completely mess up my timing. It's feels almost like playing NT when you've acquired the Euphoria mutation (which is a really dumb move in 95% of all cases because bullets should vanish, not remain behind to trip you up!). Managed to find Tonic and beat three pasts almost immediately, hahah.

NT in general doesn't have many mechanics which are actually considered "good". So please don't use it as any form of comparison, as it's not really a good choice. NT itself is "fine" (with tons of issues) and can be fun, but certainly a game which fits most other title like BoI, EtG, etc.

And the reason it's actually more difficult, and not just faster: reload time and charge time stay the same, while everything else get's faster. Making the player get an disadvantage (well, not really a big one, imho)

i tried doing it the normal turbo mode a few times but couldnt even get to Hollow. then i used the Shortcut (via Tinker's side elevator) and went straight to Forge from the Breach - beat it on the first try! this strategy may require a bit of RNG for guns provided by shortcut (beating a floor boss refreshes the selection), but beating the dragun is its own battle - i won with one half-heart left. good luck!
