Can You Beat Inscryption Without Taking Damageish?

  • Maybe if I beat Inscryption without taking damage, Magnificus will put me in his deck!
    Rules:
    - Beat all 3 Acts of Inscryption without the scale tipping towards the left side (the middle and to the right side are okay even if I get hit)
    - If I ever break the first rule I have to start the entire game over on a new file. With the exception that I can make a checkpoint at the start of Act 3
    - No going back to previous saves or surrendering to avoid losing
    - Due to a certain exploit in Act 2, I'll be using a different strategy for every fight in that Act after the training dummy is available
    - There are 2 scripted losses so those don't count
    - No glitches

    I think the reason the magic eye doesn't spawn until you lose after the first run is because of the scene where you use the camera from the ground, which wouldn't work if you already have the film.
    I actually won a few runs before losing and unlocking the eye, so Magnificus actually appeared to give me the hint to use the dagger (I assume it counts the number of runs since you got the dagger) even though that didn't work until just before he gave me the hint

    • @BarelyAlec

  • @bitty4510
    @bitty4510 Před rokem +231

    The card drawing system is actually the same in all acts, it tries to give you a free card, a few random ones, and then the last one is meant to be a card that is playable this turn, unless you already have one in your hand. (which is why draugr was valid) Bones are dependent on how many free brittle cards you have (skeletons), and iirc energy is 1-2 energy cost cards. I think mox doesn't care about the color, as long as the card is a gem, but I could be wrong about that. Blood gives you a card with a cost equal to or less than the number of free cards you have in your hand, so a hand starting with 3 free cards would mean you could play a bear. (since the starting draw could only ever draw 3 squirrels, urayuli will never be valid)

      Interesting! Energy cards never count as "starter cards" as far as I can tell. At least the cheap ones don't, even if it's a 1 energy card. I didn't test mox cards at all since the magic deck isn't very useful for this challenge

    speedrunner who's only just started the video here: my first thoughts are with the start of act 3, there's a few fights you need to take damage on round one. I'm thinking that will be a major roadblock. after that it should be easy. act 1 would be tough judging from the fact you would have to do moon% two times but my guess is that it isn't possible without going below 5hp at all
    edit: watched it all now

    It's not really universal in card games that your deck will be more consistent the less cards you have. It works well in this one since it doesn't have cards that need to be in the deck to work, but not in every card game.
    It's just that less cards increases your chances of drawing specific cards.
    So in games where you can add more and more cards that do similar things, while having cards in your deck that you absolutely need to not draw because they only function from, or function best in the deck, adding more cards (that you want to draw) can actually increase a deck's consistency by increasing the proportion of cards that you want to draw vs cards that you don't.

    • @BarelyAlec
      @BarelyAlec  Před rokem +1

      True, like running garnets in yugioh can be better in 60 card decks so you don't draw them as much. Generally, running less cards is a good thing though. Like how if you could run 5 cards in yugioh then you'd always open with exodia

    @Templarfreak Před rokem +3

    best advice i have for anyone wanting to do this run themselves: in Act 3, a sigil combo of Guardian, Sentry, Touch of Death is virtually unbeatable by anything P03 throws at you. the Sentry will always immediately move into place whenever P03 summons something, trigger Sentry to attack it immediately, and always be guaranteed to 1-shot it (except Shield Bots) due to Touch of Death. this also works against Bounty Hunters, and it doesnt matter how much health it has, as long as it doesnt have Nanoshield (which i dont remember if they even can have). this combo will essentially make it almost impossible for P03 to ever do damage to you once you get it. and if you put Unkillable in this combo as well, you can just resummon the card whenever it dies. I suggest putting this combo on a Sentry Drone, as it is only 1 energy. You can _also_ Gemify on your Sentry and it will make your Sentry be summoned for free as well (when you have blue gems).
    some other combos i suggest playing around with:
    1. Touch of Death and Bifurcated Strike on Snipers.
    2. Burrower, Sharp Quills, and/or Nano Armor on Leap Bots.
    3. Brittle Latch or Nano Shield Latch on cards with 1 HP and 1 cost, optionally also Gemify to make this card free, and dont give them Nano Shield. For these 2, there's really a lot of potential Sigils in various combos you could substitute with Brittle/Shield latch, these two are deceptively quite strong (especially Brittle Latch).

    • @BarelyAlec
      @BarelyAlec  Před rokem

      Those are cool combos! The reason I didn't go with any specific broken combo like that was because it would require getting lucky with the sigils offered. I think you can exit to the menu to reroll the offered sigils but I banned that in my personal run

    • @Templarfreak
      @Templarfreak Před rokem +1

      @@BarelyAlec it can be difficult, yeah. what you do in the video definitely seems like it would be a lot more consistent, but i personally dont have a problem with making my deck in act 3 a lot larger than the other 2 acts, especially since you're offered Leap and Energy Bots pretty frequently. i also particularly like coming up with good sigil combos in Act 3, breaking the game as much as possible really seems like what Act 3 is really about in terms of gameplay.
      something that also seems like it would be pretty good but i havent tried yet for Act 3 is Conduits, with the slightly larger board, the ability to make Vessels act as Conduits and Batteries, and the ability to reduce costs on cards with Gemification, it might be more practical than in Act 2 to use them.
      there's also an Act 3 Kaycee's Mod, uh, mod, that supposedly makes Conduits better ontop of Act 3's changes, but i have yet to play that mod as well.

    A Very broken combo on this boss is make his first turn summon leap bots everytime a card dies, then on the second phase make it so the cards take 1 damage every single time a card die
    if you do this correctly, sacrificing one single leap bot, will trigger on death of everthing, then they will respawn, and die, respawn and die, after like 6 or 7 times of the same loop, p03 will get enough of this and disable the first rule you did.
