Coins and keys

[Jess The Titty Leech]

How do you get a lot of coins i.e 120 and 3 keys in one run(reqs for shortcut)?

Oubliette is good, don't spend any and try not to get hit.

Even if you buy one key, you'll only need a single key drop to easily meet that requirement, as long as you don't buy anything -- even withoug doing the Oubliette. Try the Hunter for extra drops.

As i said on another post with the same problem:

Do you have trouble to finish the first floor without getting hit? If so that could be one problem because the game rewards better play or simply not getting hit.

If you get hit by an enemy this enemy won't drop money for you. So if you take a gun nut (which can drop 10 shells) and get hit by it you won't get the shells.

I'm having some real trouble with the final shortcut (300 casings and 6 keys). The casings aren't really a problem so long as I don't buy anything, but the keys? Jesus christ. I've gotten to the fifth floor and only had 2 drop in the entire run. Is there any way to gurantee more key drops?

Only ways I know of increasing drops:

1. Improving your coolness by not getting hit.

2. Getting items that either increase your coolness or specifically increase the chance for dropping keys (can't remember which passive that was...)

I think there is an item which gives you a higher chance for a key drop on clearing a room, besides that "not getting hit" is probably the best advice but it still will be bound to the RNG if you get enough.

One run i ended up with 5 keys after the chamber 1 boss. Yesterday i finally got to the High Dragon the second time and beat it und for some lucky reason i managed to bring 6 hearts and the master round from chamber 4 to the elevator guy - now i'm also working on the 300 shells and 6 keys.

I did it with pilot.

Now I just have to flawless a level 4 bos.

Keys are not dificult, get one per floor at least..

Hunter gives you most chance because of dog diggin up keys.

I've honestly done the last 3 runs and gotten an average of half a key per chamber. After not spending any at all, I get to the last floor with 3-4 keys. It's very frustrating.

Ok thanks for the info I got the shortcut.

A Beginner Question.

With the A-Key 47, would you be able to open chests without any ammo in the weapon?

When I have to weapon, I just use it to open chests because I have it in my mind that I would only be able to open chests if I have the ammo to do so.

Is this unneccesary?

I believe if you hold E while holding it, it will open a chest.

I see, thanks for the reply.
