This video was amazingly helpful. Did it on my second try in less than 18 minutes. Getting a lot of Flex+ / Whirldwind + turns was key. Mutagenic strength event was very helpful. Best advice was to forget about blocking. I've been plowing through multiple achievements in just a couple of days: got speed run and minimalist with Ironclad, got single boss turn kill with Silent's Tactician/Acro/Prepared infinite, Defect's common sense with 2 claws/Hologram/Rebound, and Watcher's no relics because watcher cards are so powerful relics are not needed. Your videos and explanations are truly the best in the business.

Got it in 12:19! Took like 4x Perfected Strikes + Heavy Blade, in addition to the STR cards. My advice is that you can "save scum" this achievement. So for long/boss combats, you can take your time by "practicing" the combat first (writing down the optimal card plays in order), then quit to menu and replay the combat. This also works with shops... you can take your time viewing the choices, then quit to menu, and buy everything ASAP when you reload.

I think a few tricks worth mentioning (in case people don't know) is using your keyboard to control part of your game. You can use Esc to exit any menu, M to view the map, and number keys to select and play cards in your hand (you can turn on "Show Card Quick Select Keys" in settings to make the cards indicate their number). My fastest run was an accidental 19m31s, swapping into snecko eye and picking up 4 wheel kicks when climbing as watcher.

Yes this guide helped me get the achievement. I tried once as the silent with a shiv deck but with so many shivs it took FOREVER to kill. Tried a few times with the ironclad before looking up your guide and then I got it on my first real attempt (third, but had two false starts). Finished the game in 9:48!!!! crazy how fast you can go if you only have strength cards and a whirlwind

I just got this completely by accident. I used Ironclad and got the transform 2 cards perk at the start of my run, which gave me a Searing Blow. I planned my route along fireplaces and did nothing but upgrade the Searing Blow. Ended up at a +12 or something. All my other decisions were based on card removal, while only accepting cards which offered card draw. A tiny deck, coupled with a Berserk which increased my energy and a Flash of Steel, I was able to one shot just about anything. Donu and Deca took 2 turns and suddenly the achievement popped up. I had no way to deal with the Heart's status card and not enough block, so that's where the run ended...

My first attempt was with Ironclad and unfortunately got a 21:01, even with the special event that took me right to the Time Eater. BUT! I also gained You Are Nothing, Jaxxed, and The Transient achievements this run. XD So, a successful run in my book! Thanks for the tips. I'll try again later after I celebrate this win. :3 I usually spend an hour+ easily on a run, so this was a good start.

Got achievement with a 16:23 run after 8+ attempts. After a bunch of close calls, with 20:25, 21:20, and so on, I realized I was taking too long to make decisions. I figured out which cards I wanted, and how many of each, so I had only easy decisions to make during the run. Merchant #1 priority is card removal, all defends first, and then start on strikes. Don't look at potions unless you're totally empty. Buying relics is lower priority than card removal, so don't even look unless you either removed a card already, or you already cleared out the defends(but even then, you'd probably rather cut a strike).

@draquu1984 2 жыл бұрын

Hey, hands down: this is the most difficult achievement to get in my opinion. You need to be very lucky and decide very fast on what you do. I was able to finish it within 18:17 with a relatively funny build: A lot lot lot of Perfected Strikes and Necronomicon :D. The most important cards where: 7x Perfected Strike+. 5x Strike, 1x Wild Strike, 3x Pommel Strike+, 1x Twin Strike. As you can see: all my Perfected Strikes did 6 + 3x17= 57 Damage and thanks to the Necronomicon Curse the first 2-Cost attack (and Perfected Strike is such an attack), gets played twice. That means I could deal 114 Damage to the first Enemy I encountered, which means I saved a lot of time during Battles. If you see an early Perfected Strike in your run, add it to your Deck, and then add every Card which has the name "Strike" in it.

Thanks a lot man! Got a 17:51 on the first try with your same strategy, even though i got starved for strength gain cards and strength gain relics (ended solely with a flex mid-act 1 upgraded into flex+ end of act 1, inflame middle of act 2, flex middle of act 3 is all I saw). Other than that, had good RNG on the final floor with a path with no elites and a lot of rest sites. Got some better area and high damage cards than you though. Ended up beating the awakened one by exactly 3 damage on my final energy, with 8hp remaining, after already being helped by a fairy in a bottle... To me my run solidified the idea that this strategy is relatively easy to keep under 20:00, and surprisingly reliable at winning with mediocre RNG.

@PlomiennyJacus 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for this video! I really hate doing speedrun achievements cause they really stress me out, but I managed to get it with Ironclad within an hour of attempting it. Took me about 16:30 to get to the final boss, didn't catch the final time but I'd say I had a good 2 minutes to spare. EDIT: My build was pretty much Perfected Strike + Clash + Inflame/Flex + Limit Break. I removed all Blocks from the deck, then picked and bought any Strikes and Strength raising cards. Also took some Thunderclaps, Cleaves and a Whirlwind, this one was an especially huge timesaver, insta killed a few encounters in Act 3. If you just focus on getting Strike cards, Strength boosts and AoE, you will barely do any thinking.

Not the fastest, but the earliest infinite combo I ever got was with Ironclad. Started with removing 2 cards, 2 shops to remove 2 more defends, offering upgraded at campfire, pommel strike upgraded by campfire, sundial, and double tap. was infinite on floor 9. Ended up removing all my strikes and defends later in the run, and got a few seeing reds, and another pommel strike to ensure it as turn one every combat.
