Cavalcadence plays Monk 29: Speedrun, sub-12min (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 as a bit of a change of pace, I was working on some Monk speedrun attempts. ^^ And after several fairly uninteresting runs (slow, fail, or both!)... the game gave me a 1-1 Glass Shop!

Yep, the Glass Longsword, Glass Shovel, Glass Armor, and Glass Jaw basically carried the rest of the run. Oh, and a 1-2 Ring of Peace. =) And though I definitely could've played for speed better in a number of places... I did manage to end up with my first ever Monk sub-12 win! =)

Here's the video... hope you enjoy!


Some notes and possible points of interest:

0:07 1-1
0:13 The spear would be nice for the extra range... but let's take a chance on the black chest, in case it ends up being something better...
0:14 Titanium Dagger. Hmm, okay... no range, but I guess the extra damage should help with speed... ^^
0:34 Torch
0:34 Mb: Green Dragon
0:52 Nice... glass sword, shovel, and armor! Hmm... yeah, let's risk it. Hopefully the glass shopkeeper won't teleport anywhere unfortunate... ^^;
1:00 Glass Jaw, Glass Armor, Glass Shovel, & Glass Longsword! ^_^
1:06 1-2
1:12 Cursed Heart Container. Ack, realized a moment too late I probably should've gone for the torch instead. Extra health tends to be really useful in general for Monk... but much less so with a Glass build. ^^;;
1:22 Blast Helm (temporarily, for +3 bombs)
1:35 Ring of Peace! =)
1:50 Mb: Gray Minotaur
1:54 1-3
2:05 Drumstick
2:20 Hmm, a second drumstick. Might as well get back to full health. It won't really make a difference, but... ^^;;
2:22 Mb: Green Dragon
2:22 Z1B: Coral Riff 1
2:50 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)

2:55 2-1
3:18 Mb: Nightmare
3:31 2-2
3:39 Freeze Spell!
3:48 Mb: Minotaur
3:48 2-3
4:05 Mb: Direbat
4:05 Z2B: Fortissimole 2
4:22 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)

4:27 3-1
4:30 Mb: Minotaur
4:36 3-2
5:11 Mb: Banshee
5:23 3-3
5:33 Mb: Direbat
5:41 Z3B: King Conga 3
6:02 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)

6:05 4-1
6:52 Mb: Green Dragon
7:08 4-2
7:26 Coin multiplier lost. And lost again. That teleport mage and black bat were worrying me a bit, so I figured losing the multiplier was better than accidentally stepping on gold. ^^;
7:49 Mb: Banshee. Also, a lot of enemies in that tiny room. ^^;
8:01 4-3
8:31 Whoops, the second-to-last bat could've hit me here. Thank you, RNG! ^^;
8:37 Mb: Nightmare
8:48 Freeze! Ack, got myself in a bit of a situation (due to trying to rush)... but fortunately, I remembered the Freeze Spell! ^^;
8:58 Z4B: Deep Blues 4
9:19 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for time)

9:26 5-1
9:41 Glass Armor shattered! =p
9:52 Mb: Minotaur
9:57 5-2
10:19 Mb: Metrognome
10:44 Getting crowded here... might as well use a bomb to clear some of the gold. ^^;
10:59 5-3
11:27 Mb: Green Dragon
11:40 Z5B: Death Metal 5
11:45 Freeze!
11:46 Flawless!
11:50 My first ever All Zones Mode Monk sub-12 win! =)
