Cavalcadence plays "Dad Mode" 8: Hard Mode! - Nocturna & Melody, 0-deaths win! (Hard Mode, AMPLIFIED)
For anybody who's interested in custom Cadences (or other characters), the official NecroDancer FAQ has some info about creating custom characters, and even has a link to the pinned thread on the official forums, where people have posted some of their custom creations:
http://necrodancer.com/faq.php
And for anybody who's unfamiliar with Dad Mode: "Dad Mode" is something that some of the more veteran NecroDancer players came up with. Basically, you assign Player 2's keys to be the same as Player 1's... which means you can play a Co-op Mode game by controlling both characters at the same time, in tandem... just like the "Father-daughter dance" section of Cadence's story! =)
So... after completing Hard Mode with Melody, I actually tried (and failed) a few Dad Mode runs in Hard Mode... just to see what it would be like. ^^; I chose Nocturna to accompany Melody, mainly because of the Cutlass (range-2 weapon + parry!). =) Anyway, it was pretty hectic, but a lot of fun... so I figured I'd probably come back to it at some point...
And now I have. =) And again it was hectic and fun... and though it took more failed runs than I was hoping it would... I finally got a 0-deaths win! ^^;
So here it is... my first ever Hard Mode Dad Mode 0-deaths win! Hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: (Direbat & Minotaur), (Red Dragon & Gray Direbat), (Red Dragon & Gray Minotaur), (Coral Riff 1 & Gray Minotaur & Red Dragon).
Zone 2: (Red Dragon & Gray Direbat), (Blood Nightmare & Gray Minotaur), (Green Banshee & Gray Direbat), (Fortissimole 2 & Blood Nightmare & Green Banshee).
Zone 3: (Gray Direbat & Banshee), (Blue Dragon & Gray Minotaur), (Blood Nightmare & Gray Direbat), (Deep Blues 3 & Gray Minotaur & Blood Nightmare).
Zone 4: (The Mommy & Green Banshee), (Blue Dragon & Blood Nightmare), (Green Banshee & The Mommy), (King Conga 4 & The Mommy & Ogre).
Zone 5: (Red Dragon & Metrognome), (Gray Minotaur & Green Metrognome), (Gray Minotaur & Earth Dragon), & The NecroDancer 2.
