Does it still work?

@@7bup425 it's not.

I'm playing on android and I am able to make it always to the 30 minute, but when I take the red gem the game blocks (freeze screen), can you help me ? 🥲

for anyone trying this, it got patched and doesn't work on 30.01.2024

it does@@TheSpiritedFendron

Fair. I thought I explained it in the video, but I could have been more specific. I updated my pinned comment with some instructions.

He kinda doesn't need to if yournaware of the builds. The position he puts you in at the end stun locks everything from getting near you.

@@CodeCreature what pinned comment addresses this?

@@howardblaylock3490 He should had kept doing runs until he gets the build he suggests then show it.

Have revive equipped in the perks menu, once he spawns pick up ass gems and if he kills you right before or as you pick the gems up, just revive and pick it up. You'll level up like 50+ times (guess). Get revive perk and all necessary boosts. He can kill you as many times you should have the chance with the extra revives.

This didn't work I wonder if it's patch

Skill issue

@@Rafrob77 It still works I just did it yesterday

@@Rafrob77 One thing that happened to me was the red gem spawned FAR away from me and I couldn't get to it in time. There's a non-zero amount of RNG that comes in on these runs.

@@Rabbit-o-witz why do it this boring way when you can simply get the rod and the Mantle and kill it normaly

I thought it seemed like Empty tome was working again, but I didn't want to make this guide and have everyone not getting the cooldown they needed. Thank you fo the info! I'll clip that extra bit out of the video!

Updated and removed those sections of the video. Hopefully you'll let me know if that makes anything I'm saying confusing now. Thanks again!

@@CodeCreature not making a second video with a UPDATED title deserves much respect, my dude

I waited 40 minutes and had like 1000 reapers but none died

Lol, the mummy boss incident is exactly why im reading the comments. It happened to me like 3 times in a row and I started thinking I did something wrong :P

Good luck! Sometimes you can get a little unlucky and have to try again. Just make sure your positioning is perfect and your build is as strong as possible!

Get a Steamdeck

Still works Got it after a few unlucky tries Thank you for this amazing guide

hey i keep leveling while this is setup i checked my powerups and have no magnet upgrades, is it just a me problem or did a update fix/change this?

nvm I prioritized my powerups in this order amount area, duration, cooldown, speed and then might at the time I only had enough gold to get two might upgrades. if anyone else is having similar problems try prioritizing the upgrade using the aforementioned upgrade path.

Ya I wish you could have shown the red gem run part of the video since it seems like the sketchiest part haha!

I've done it 3 times now, but I only get to lvl 40 with the red gem, which doesnt give me enough items to kill the reaper. What's that about?

PSA: If you have Sorceress' Tears/Hurry mode, don't use it! It seems like you won't build up enough exp into a red gem. I tried with it on to speed things up and the best I could do was level 41 or so

You dont have to use this strategy anymore. Just evolve laurel and clock lancet

@@koifish528 really? How is that?

@@popis3493 yellow sign unlocks metaglio and ring items which evolve laurel and clock lancet. Evolved laurel reduces all damage taken to 10, and evolved clock lancet halves the health of any enemy it hits

@@koifish528 just did it 😌, thanks

I just managed to kill him! Thank you so much for the video!

"it's a little difficult to stay at level 2 with this current method" over exaggerated statement haha, this is for sure been patched the runetracer wont even stay there anymore mobs can walk around the inventory now suicide chickens comes from out the map the render layer on gems takes way longer. im pretty sure there's a way to stay 1-2 blue gems away from lvl 4 tho not sure if runetracer is the move anymore unless there's a new positioning that can be abused where the runetracer wont randomly go through the walls after 100's of tries im still not there and getting frustrated as hell haha i want it to work hope you find a way 👍 im for sure done after 7 hours trying and resetting 😥

I'm 22 minutes into my first attempt at following this guide, and I'm having the exact intended result shown in the video. Still level 2 and a half, the runetracer is still a big blob and deleting everything. I know where my red gem is and I'm just nervous about timing this right due to knowing how quickly the reaper spawns and how quickly he moves. The red gem isn't exactly close, but I've got some extra revives ready from the outset and basically every upgrade that I should have, minus 2 rerolls. And, of course, not touched any of the upgrades I shouldn't. Will be able to post results in some 5+ minutes from the time of writing. Will just edit this comment with the result. Edit; Okay, I followed the guide to a T and got wiped the eff out by the reaper. I only got to level 71 after grabbing red gem. I got maxed out water, rune, cross, duplicator, spinach, candle, spellhaste, clock, tome, bracer, knives (evolved) and wand (evolved). You'd think this would do the trick. However, the 2nd reaper spawn came in and snuck behind the book cases and backstabbed my ass and forced me to move in order to not keep dying and losing all the revives I had. Still died, because 1 reaper on each side of me was too much for the clock to keep frozen. Edit2; I realize, in hindsight, I did not get the laurel. That might've done me in.

@@LethalOwl i guess my account bugged had 1 hour break been trying since again, that means ive followed the steps for 19 hours now there's no way it allow me stay lvl 2 lol on the other hand i think i found a way to bug it on the other side lol this run seems legit 😅

Added edit to my former comment. Despite the guide working flawlessly for the first part, things went horribly awry at the 30 min mark. Even with amazing RNG for the end items. At least I now got 2 rerolls with me. Edit; Started a new run, already back in position with runetracer and only level 2. Let's see how this one goes. Edit 2; 5 min in, still level 2 and the red gem has appeared. Now to wait. Edit3; Plan of attack; Get all the core items, knife, wand, dupe and spinach. I got the card for extra revives instead of tiragmisu. RNGeesus save me now.

Uh, no. It will remove 75% of the health. (First shot 50%, second shot 50% of 50%, etc)

@@yanyan_r1 the reapers that spawn after 30 have higher health so it would take ages to kill them

White hand would like to have a word

Upside and downside libraeries multiply islike the backrooms since no mobs spawna there

move higher. if you are a bit too low, they will move around. It happened to me as well, until you move up just a little bit.

Refund your powerups and don't use Recovery. I had a same problem but this helped. Also the position showed in the video doesn't work for me.

Get a different arcana, the awake one will give you 3 more revives, and makes it so you gain 5% to almost every stat per death, so with that, the revival power up, and tiragisú at lvl 2, you get 6 revives for a 30% increase to damage, area, like 60% more health since that's 10% per I think, and other things

Depending on if they fix this bug in the next update, it may not matter. Currently, you want to have duration extended max, then max Lancet before even touching Tome. You can get a few out of order and it still work, but the perfect strategy is to max each in order.

@@CodeCreature I ended up killing him after maxing Lancet with 1 rank in Tome. It didn't result in perma-freezing but it was enough to get the job done! Thanks again man, good stuff

@@ronaldhuntley1002 i pretty sure they already updated the update cool down bug with the book, so order doesnt matter, i still cant kill it though, & now with the new update the weird reaper is only unlockable with hacks and only red death can be unlocked

Nice! I thought this might be one you'd be interested in after seeing that you picked it up!

and then he never came back

@@guilhermeborges7165 2 months ago.. THAT did not go well...

I assume you did not beat him. Fail.

@@umamifan lmao yeah I failed. I didn't have the power ups all bought. Got it once I had those though!

Yes, that's what's happening to me as well.

Yeah! I wish there was an item or means of speeding up time when you go AFK to make this easier 🤣

@@CodeCreature yea that would be nice since the reaper that spawned at level two didnt get into the trap so the other reapers got me but now im on run two

Are you staying at level 2 until the 30 minute Mark? Double check the graphic at the end. It has everything condensed into one image like placement and alternate builds.

@@CodeCreature I'm not 100% sure if i was lv 2 or 3 at the 30 min mark. I think half-forced pick of bible did screw me up too much in the end. Runetracer & evolved knife weren't enough.

same

Same. Plus, the enemies now are able to go up the ladder and behind the bookshelf.
