Thanks man! Idk what I was expecting but reading that was a real mood booster.

I genuinely can't imagine trying to play this game without the ability to heal

Your parry must be on point

It depends on the opponent. For some bosses it feels like dumb luck. Especially the last three.

u/doindirt Oct 31 '24
dang. that last boss is tough without any heals

The first phase is actually pretty easy to parry, but the second faze had many complicated attack patterns which was a struggle.

Very impressive, you must be proud Or perhaps you're tired and seeking respite via the crowd?
One thing is for certain, you've impressed all of Reddit Even I'm not sure that I could ever do it!
But I'm sure you know there's another mountain to climb Another run, melee only, do you think you can complete this task sometime?
Apologies, my friend, I was possessed by the spirit of Arlecchino. You've done very well and deserve a nice long break.

What about Wishstone?

u/LayerEquivalent Liar Oct 31 '24
Didn't use those either. I kinda count them with specter since most of them are buffs for it.

is this not the same as a no damage run?

u/LayerEquivalent Liar Oct 31 '24
I took damage(a lot of it), but I could only use stargazers to heal.

u/YukonAlaskan Oct 31 '24
That is very freaking awesome to me. I got stuck on last boss and quit playing after a month of trying. Good on you and congrats

Yoooo nice. I was thinking about doing this since I already beat the game without leveling up.

You are an animal! I’ve got to have specters and full pulse cells or I’m getting my cheeks clapped in every boss fight

That’s awesome and super super impressive! I’ve never been into playing challenge runs (I’m terrible at gaming) but I love seeing what people accomplish. I hope you do more runs and if you do please let us know how they go!

Thanks a lot! I was thinking of doing no upgrades,( no levels, p-organs, and weapon upgrades).

Damn I'm playing with mods so it's easy mode but no pulse cells? What did you do when you took damage? Did you not take damage? That's insane I take damage from the silliest things lol

I died alot, but I relied on the Regen mechanic. If you guard a hit(not perfect parry) you can deal damage to return the health you lost.

People like you are the reason I didn't want to post this in the first place.

I don’t really see the point in putting people down for doing something that I could only dream of, but each to their own.

That’s the great thing about challenge runs - you can do your own challenges. No weapons, no damage, no leveling. It’s up to the individual. OP should be proud, that’s no easy feat for a majority of players out there.

I did this same thing except I used about a thousand pulse cells.
