2Crypt of the NecroDancer (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
AMPLIFIED DLC v2.59 (2017 Oct 12)
Cavalcadence plays Melody 21: 0-gold run, 1-1 challenge! (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)
So... Melody's "0-gold run 1-1 challenge" (i.e. don't acquire any gold for the entire run, and don't acquire any items or use any shrines after 1-1) definitely took a bit longer than I was hoping it would. ^^;
On the plus side, I did get more practice with her 1-bomb shopkeeper strats (not always possible, depending upon where the door is)! ^^
And yes, sometimes the Crown of Greed does end up blocking the way back into the shop... but since a 0-gold run is over when you pick up any gold, whether it gets doubled or not doesn't really matter, so... Crown of Greed 0-gold run! ;)
So anyway, here it is... my first ever "0-gold 1-1 challenge" Melody win! Hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:00 Lobby
0:06 Lvl 1-1
0:11 Shovel of Courage
- The Shovel of Courage will prevent dig-buffering (using a beat by digging a wall), but Melody is less dependent upon dig-buffering than other characters, since she attacks while moving... plus, if there's a Blood Shop, Courage will open that up too! =) Just have to remember to be extra careful about spotting (and avoiding!) wall gold... ^^;
0:39 Mb: Direbat
1:20 Cookies & Obsidian Torch!
1:54 Drumstick! =9
2:05 Bomb, Right, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down!
- Depending on where the door is, sometimes it's possible for Melody to defeat the Shopkeeper with only 1 bomb! ^.^
2:10 Crown of Greed (doesn't help a 0-gold run... but doesn't hurt either!)
- Plus, it's blocking the entrance to the shop, so... ^^

20:42 Zone 5, Boss: The NecroDancer 2: Return of The NecroDancer
- No bomb, so have to do this relatively quickly, so that the victory gold doesn't block the path to the exit...
21:05 Final phase gold drops... =p
- Definitely had 0-gold runs end due to these gold drops... =p But this time doesn't look too bad... I think there's a clear path, right of center... ^^
21:27 "You won! Coin Score: 0" Woo! My first ever "0-gold 1-1 challenge" Melody win! =)
