So... Bolt! ^^;
I've tried playing Bolt before... but haven't had much success. I think I've made it to 3-2 or 3-3 once before... just barely. ^^;
But as a little break from Monk and Aria runs, I thought I'd try Bolt. Predictably, my first few runs were pretty bad. =p And then this run happened. ^^;
The run didn't start out that promisingly... but I think getting both a Titanium Spear and a Ring of Regeneration helped carry me through the rest of the run. =) In any case, I finally got my first ever All Zones Mode Bolt win! =) And I definitely made a lot of mistakes along the way (including a couple accidental spear throws, an accidental transmog, and an accidental transmute!), but... hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Minotaur, Gray Direbat, Gray Minotaur, and Death Metal 1.
Zone 2: Gray Minotaur, Blood Nightmare, Gray Minotaur, and Coral Riff 2.
Zone 3: Nightmare, Green Banshee, Gray Minotaur, and King Conga 3.
Zone 4: Green Banshee, Blue Dragon, Ogre, and Deep Blues 4.
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 Zone 1, Level 1
0:14 First coin multiplier lost. Well... that didn't take very long. =p
0:26 Hmm, giant bat... if I can keep the coin multiplier going and the bat drops gold instead of a scroll...
0:43 Leprechaun! Whoops, uh... let's see if I can still salvage this somehow...
0:54 502 gold now! And a Lucky Charm! =)

3:18 Whoops, no bomb. =p
3:27 Mini-boss: Gray Direbat
3:44 Blood Dagger... not what I was hoping for. =p Hmm, I don't think there are enough enemies left to get half a heart of healing, but might as well try, before going back to the spear.
