Inspired by this video, I just did this with Watcher today. Boss swapped for Philo stone. I think having 4 energy is pretty crucial. Took your advice and took Dues Ex. Philo stone is not so bad if you are not going for heart. Some annoying fights like Byrds but pretty easy on A0.

Why didn't you swap for a boss relic for more reliable energy? Or was that not an option when you recorded this? (I only just got the game a couple of days ago and so not sure what was there on release vs recent updates!)

My attempt at this run was to combine it with the achievement for having a deck of only commons and do a single run with the watcher trying to force a pressure points deck. It worked like a charm until my muscle memory inevitably picked up a crappy relic deep into the run... I managed to get the one achievement but failed at the no relics one. Sadge.

For real... I relic swapped into Cursed Key, got Creative AI from the first boss, deck was crushing all and cruising through Act 3. I almost paid my remaining 2 gold to get the Red Mask, but caught myself. Then I realized I bought the mirror (copies a card in your deck), to get an extra copy of Seek, from the merchant a few rooms back. Mentally at the time, I thought I was buying a seek, rather than a relic. Epic punt!

FINALLY got this on watcher as I was watching this video for tips, considering I've been banging my head against this wall for a little while. Cursed Key boss swap was a godsend considering I didn't want to open chests anyway, so I missed out on basically nothing but the chance for a little extra gold, which isn't as big a deal when you're not looking to buy relics in shops either. I actually took Fasting for once, which really helped out when I decided to play it. So glad this achievement is over, it sucked.

After playing on A20 for months on my Switch, I started all over again on the mobile version of the game (highly recommend btw) and I've been trying to exclusively try for one of the challenge run achievements (no relics, commons only, minimalist, etc) every run as I climb the ascensions again to make it more interesting. Relicless in particular is probably my favorite because it feels like more or less the same level of difficulty as A20, but there's so much more emphasis on building a great deck rather than finding some lucky relics that solve your problems. Obviously the deck is important in A20 as well, but I've found that it's much easier to evaluate and pinpoint issues with your deckbuilding decisions when you don't have relics to band-aid over your shortcomings. Every character's card pool was given the tools to deal with every issue you might run into during a run: energy generation, card draw, consistent damage mitigation, and damage scaling being the big ones. As long as you don't boss relic swap into an energy relic at the beginning, you're going to improve a ton at learning how to use all of the tools your deck offers--and, just like in A20, die fairly often if you don't find the right ones at the right times. But as long as I can learn from my mistakes, it's a lot more fun to me than just steamrolling through all of the lower ascensions again.

I've just gotten this achievement with Ironclad, after three runs where I at some point picked up relics on accident. It was a Drop Kick-infinite deck with a Searing Blow +8. First ever Searing Blow run I've done and I am VERY happy I picked it up, because with an infinite deck of course I had to run into Time Eater Act 3. Deck was 10 cards at the end, with 5 of them being skills, one of them being Corruption and then just Bash, 2 Drop Kicks and Searing Blow. I did have a Dual Wield for good measure.

@kobarsos82 2 жыл бұрын
Very nice video man. Admittedly this was a very lucky run in terms of what cards appeared, and the upgraded initial relic, however you do seem to have a talent for deckbuilding, and this shows in the endgame, watcher absolutely wrecks with the right picks ans is quite possibly the best class in the game in terms of endgame scaling with just cards. Who needs relics? exactly. I haven't had good luck with this achievement, I only tried it a few times with ironclad and silent, and ended up not having enough block for the final boss or the endgame hallway fights such as the transient or writhing mass. However now i'm thinking i should try it with watcher even though its the class i have the least experience with. Card draw mechanics and energy generation on the watcher honestly seem bonkers compared to other classes.

This achievement is super hard to get. I’ve been trying for the past couple days now. I’ve tried at least 10 times and keep losing to act 2 boss or the first couple act 3 fights. My deck always seems to clog up with useless cards. The watcher is the character who I am the worst at as well. I’m on ascension 12 on my iron clad but I still havnt beat act 3 with watcher yet. The grind continues…
