Cavalcadence plays Cadence 56: 1-1 challenge! (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)
So this is a fun little challenge I've kind of been thinking about for a while now, but haven't ever quite gotten around to... until now. =)
Anyway, there have definitely been runs where the first level has been really nice, and I've thought "You know, I could probably make it through the rest of the game with just what I found here in 1-1..." But of course I didn't make the attempt because, well... why take that risk, right? ^^
But eventually, I got to thinking... a challenge like that might be fun to try. A "1-1 challenge" of sorts! And that's where this idea came from. =)
Technically, it's kind of like a low percent run (can't acquire any items or use any shrines), except that the very first level is exempt from the rule.
Anyway, I finally got around to giving this challenge a try, and on my very first run... the game gave me extra range, extra damage, extra health... and attack magic! Wow, definitely a stronger build than I was expecting. ^^;;
Given the promising start, I was a little nervous that I'd end up making some sort of careless mistake that'd end up costing the run... but despite some mistakes along the way, I actually managed to get Cadence through the entire run... and ended up with my first ever "1-1 challenge" win! ^_^
So anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
Oh, also, I know that currently, a lot of us (including me!) have more limited entertainment options than usual... which definitely makes me appreciative of the options I do still have! So to help do my part, I'm going to try to record and upload more often than usual for at least a little longer! I hope it helps, even if just a little! ^.^
Also, quick note! The "notes and possible points of interest" section is going to be less detailed than normal (I know some of you do enjoy them, so apologies in advance for that!)... It does take some time to write those up (especially for the longer videos!), and right now, that time is probably better spent as recording and uploading time instead, so... ^_^
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:07 1-1
0:27 Oh wow, a Longsword and a Ring of Might! Not sure if there'll be enough gold for both, though, hmm... Maybe there'll be an extra bomb somewhere, or something...
0:54 Pulse Spell! ...actually, now that I think about it, Pulse Spell could also work! ^_^

3:03 1-2 Okay, 1-1 is over and Cadence definitely has a stronger build than I was expecting... time to focus! Definitely don't want to waste this opportunity with a run-ending careless mistake or something... ^^;;
