AMPLIFIED DLC Early Access v2.45 (2017 Apr 01)

Cavalcadence plays Monk 18: Speedrun, sub-14min (All Zones 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:

So... I don't think I'd ever attempted an actual Monk speedrun before, but my recent experiences in Hard Mode got me thinking... if I can manage a Hard Mode sub-15 with Cadence... surely I can manage an All Zones Mode sub-15 with Monk... right? Maybe? ^^;;

So just for fun, I decided to give it a try. And though it took... well, definitely more failed runs than I was hoping it would... I finally managed to break not just 15min... but 14 as well! =)

So here it is... my first ever All Zones Mode sub-15 (and my first ever sub-14) with Monk! Hope you enjoy!


The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Minotaur, Red Dragon, Gray Minotaur, & Fortissimole 1.
Zone 2: Red Dragon, Blood Nightmare, Gray Minotaur, & King Conga 2.
Zone 3: Gray Direbat, Blood Nightmare, Green Banshee, & Coral Riff 3.
Zone 4: Red Dragon, Ogre, Green Banshee, & Death Metal 4.
Zone 5: Gray Minotaur, Earth Dragon, Green Metrognome, & Deep Blues 5.
