    Today we go back in time, almost 2 years, and try out this age old strategy to kill the Red Death, which was used to unlock at first MissingNo and later Red Death. Does it still work or not? Well, the title is a spoiler, but you might be surprised just how well it worked.

    This is how I killed the reaper recently. I did it opposed to Corridor/Shroud because it was earlier in the game and I wanted mad groove

    Thanks for doing this Dex... It's a blast to revisit some of the oldest strats with the new engine and combine with some of the new mechanics before the power creep appeared (Corridor, Shroud). Also, the strat is also viable without any arcanas, limit break and works on every platform (I just tested on my Switch a month ago)...

    This was such a cool video, I would love to see another one about the best games that created a whole new genre in the last decade or maybe couple of decades, like rogue likes/lites, bullet hells, farming (or any other simulators), or any other new genre you can think of.

    @14:00 Bloodline Toastie with an early Laurel is a good medium for folks who want to do it that old very hard way but much more approachable.
    Pretty fun with Legionnaire too.

  • @amebee709
    @amebee709 Před 6 měsíci +2

    I remember using this strategy over a year ago before the lancet and laurel evolution. Was way more satisfying doing it than the two evos.

  • @risingtoastcheesecake4730
    @risingtoastcheesecake4730 Před 6 měsíci +1

    It took me a day to unlock red death with clerici, but I never even got close to do it with toastie, the cooldown was just too bad. However, you made a guide back then how to mod in missingno again and thats how I got that guy

  • @zylo4029
    @zylo4029 Před 6 měsíci +3

    I first killed the reaper with Christine. With Laurel level 5, Empty Tome level 5, the cooldown power up and Silent Old Sanctuary with 3 max weapons she has so much cooldown reduction that she’s completely immune to damage even with 0 eggs. I don’t remember how long it took to kill but it was so long
    I hadn’t even unlocked Shroud/Corridor and was playing without using any guides or resources so I didn’t even know it was possible to kill

  • @daliborhanusek8123
    @daliborhanusek8123 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Yo dex the thing that you didnt saw the runetracer bouncing is that it might bounced the same rate as your monitor refreshes so hence you can see it on your recording cuz it is recorded on slower rate.

    Beginning Arcana is great. Hilariously effective on certain characters. Great synergy with Gemini.
    Currently favorite build with insane synergy and destruction:
    Weapons (Evolve all): Any / Garlic / Laurel / Lancet / Water / Lightning
    Passives: Any / Spinach / Tome / Duplicator / Attractorb / Pneumarola + Gold / Silver / Left / Right
    Arcana: Any / Blood Astronomia / Tragic Princess

  • @VeniVidiRici
    @VeniVidiRici Před 6 měsíci +9

    Regarding the bouncing not showing in your game during the second try:
    I think the reason is the fps. Your game runs in 100fps while the video (and I assume also the recording) is at 60fps. What you saw ingame was a bit smoother, so you (almost) couldn't see the bouncing ingame.
    And to anwer your question: I killed the Red Death with the Clerici method, just as in this video ^^

  • @SimplyNotReally
    @SimplyNotReally Před 6 měsíci

    You should attempt one of your old gold record run strats and see what you can do to update/fit onto the new items and stuff! You know it's not really the same unless you use toastie though haha

    Hey Dex!
    I downloaded the game on mobile lately and I tried to defeat death on dairy plant with leda. But It seems to be that the second chest has a lot of xp in it as well nowadays
    As soon I pick it up I level up to lvl 3. Can you confirm that? I tried it 3 times, and every time the same problem
    Würde mich freuen wenn du mir das etwas Insights geben könntest 😀

    I leveled up till level 3, the projectile is a little bit smaller (210%) and moves very rapidly in a wider area while still managed to kill the reaper using knives, magic wand (add freezing effect from the arcana), laurel and clock lance...

  • @videosthatwhatever

    before any of those weapons
    I used Leda in Cappella Magna
    with I think it was armor, soul eater, Bloody Tear,Gorgeous Moon
    i think , la borra i think not sure if the flowers
    but I was healing more than the reaper hits because the mini reapers that appeared healed and pushed the big reaper
    took hours had to move looking for chickens

    is this a modded version of vampire survivors? i booted the game as recent as today, but i dont see the map items unless i open the map?
    funny thing actually how i unlocked Red Death. i was watching your video to kill it with Leda? the ballsack. but i didnt have all the evolutions onlock. i did green forest because for me its an easy level and had all the items i need to evolve laurel and the clock and i manage to kill Red Death during my preparation run xD i dont have MissingNo but hearing he is official now makes me want to unlock him. i didnt want to tweak any files as thats how he used to be unlocked if i remember correctly

    • @doshbee567
      @doshbee567 Před 2 měsíci

  • @certainlynotmalo1.0.06
    @certainlynotmalo1.0.06 Před 6 měsíci +1

    The vibrating is visible here, because the compression algorithm reduces the framerate. You have seen 60 bounces/sec assuming a framerate of 120hz, and our eyes can't percieve such fast motion. You propably saw just saw an almost still picture with the 2 positions of runtracer overlapping. It's the same effect as with rotating carwheels that are looking like rotaing backwards or even stand still when fillmed.
    What a nostalgic video...
    Edit:
    It's not exactly the same effect, but cosely related to it.

    I got missingNO by trying to figure out what the Secret about Green Acres meant, I got discouraged and looked up how to run off the world.
    I tried running off the world with Invincible Porta strategy, but after 100minutes and 70 RedDeaths I looked up how to run off the world. I tried a few times and then looked up Nutty's video on how to do it.
    I tried killing Red Death with your Rune Tracer strategy after I saw that he one-shot me and I had no chance. I wanted to kill him to see if it could be done :)
