Cavalcadence plays Melody 17: 0-gold Low % run (5-4 end) & Green Bat #47 (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)
(Low Percent 0-gold challenge)
So, Low Percent 0-gold Melody is something I've been working on, off-and-on, for a while now. IMO it's actually a lot trickier than one might initially think! ^^; Unlike every other starting weapon in the game, if the Lute is right next to an enemy, you don't have the option of retreating without attacking... which means it's a lot harder with Melody to guide the piles of gold to where you want them... and not accidentally block pathways. ^^;
Additionally, when the final phase of her Final Boss fight begins, some of the enemies will, for some reason, turn into gold. =p I still haven't figured out exactly what determines whether they turn into gold or not... but since I have noticed that the yellow sarcophagi often do turn into gold, I've found a good strategy is to destroy at least some of those before triggering the final phase. Which also has the additional benefit of making the field less crowded (no summons from the destroyed sarcophagi!) with enemies who could potentially turn into gold. =)
So anyway, I was in the middle of doing some Melody 0-gold Low Percent attempts, when...
Yep, a Green Bat. During a Low Percent run. =)
This one showed up on 3-3... which is kind of late to be switching from a Low Percent to a normal run (already lost out on almost three entire Zones worth of shops, shrines, and items... not to mention having no gold to spend anyway because of the 0-gold challenge!)... so, since the run was actually going fairly well, I figured I might as well keep going with the 0-gold Low Percent attempt, and see just how far I could get!
...as it turns out, I almost made it to the end. Almost, but not quite. ^^;;
So anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
The Green Bat was encountered (Zone 3, Level 3) at around: 7:55, though I didn't notice it until around 8:09 (concentrating on closer enemies!). ^^
