Cavalcadence plays Monk 42: Blunderbuss win (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)


So I was playing some normal Monk runs, when the game decided to send him a 1-2 Blunderbuss! ^.^

I was pretty sure I'd never completed an actual Blunderbuss Monk run before... so I figured, sure, it might be fun to give it a try... so I did. =)

Of course, it'd been a while since I'd used the Blunderbuss, and even longer since I'd used it with Monk... so I was a bit worried about being a bit out of practice... but overall, things seemed to go pretty smoothly... and long story short, I actually ended up with my first ever Blunderbuss Monk win! ^_^

So anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!


Some notes and possible points of interest:

0:06 1-1
0:17 Fireball Tome
0:36 Empty Heart Container
1:01 Mb: Minotaur
2:46 Fireball Spell
2:54 1-2
3:17 Oh, I hear stomping... and I think the shop might be over here...
3:26 Mb: Red Dragon
4:16 Leprechaun & Lucky Charm!
4:22 Okay, let's try to make a safe path for the Shopkeeper to get stuck in, so he doesn't accidentally step on that spike trap or something. ^^
4:35 Spear, Leather Armor, & Crown of Teleportation!
5:11 Interesting... hmm, I don't think I've completed a Blunderbuss Monk run before... it's not as safe a weapon for Monk as the spear, of course, but... it is a pretty rare weapon, and the game is presenting this opportunity right now, so... sure, could be fun to give it a try. =)
5:15 Blunderbuss! Also, while it's unloaded, it's basically a Titanium Dagger, which can be pretty handy, too. ^_^
5:18 Titanium Shovel!
5:30 1-3
6:03 Bright Torch. Yeah, the vision will probably end up being more useful than whatever's in the chest, so... ^^
8:03 Ring of Regeneration!
8:12 Coin multiplier lost. =p Ack, lag! Probably a background process or something I forgot to turn off. =p I'll look into it later, though... no time to worry about it now, since the song's ending, and we still have to take care of the mini-boss! ^^;
8:15 Mb: Gray Minotaur
8:24 Z1B: Death Metal 1
8:50 Flawless! Reward: Shield Tome

9:02 2-1
10:01 Quartz Armor
11:12 Mb: Banshee
11:30 2-2
12:01 Cursed Heart Container
12:40 Battle Shovel
13:09 Mb: Blood Nightmare
13:43 Explorers Boots
13:49 Torch of Walls
14:01 2-3
15:20 Empty Heart Container. Activating the shrine is taking a bit too much time, so... probably better just to grab the empty container and head for the mini-boss. ^^;;
15:26 Heavy Plate Armor! Oh wow, nice! Not just for the damage reduction, but it'll also cancel knockback from the Blunderbuss! ^.^
15:41 Mb: Gray Direbat
15:49 Crown of Teleportation shattered! =p
16:34 Z2B: Fortissimole 2
17:24 Flawless! Reward: Ring of Piercing (nt)

17:32 3-1
18:06 Monkey's Paw!
18:57 Ring of Peace, nice! Won't have regen anymore, but Monk does still have good armor and some food, so... =)
19:13 Mb: Nightmare
19:45 3-2
20:07 Drumstick
20:10 Cheese eat! =9
20:18 Mb: Minotaur
20:19 Eep! Where did-- ow. =p
20:36 Conveniently-placed bomb trap. =)
20:40 Cheese eat! =9
20:48 3-3
21:19 Empty Double Heart Container
21:48 Mb: Direbat
22:15 Z3B: Coral Riff 3
22:37 Flawless! Reward: Dove Familiar (nt)

22:46 4-1
23:41 Mb: Ogre
23:43 Drumstick eat! =9
23:44 Cookies!
23:57 Interesting... a Monstrous Shopkeeper!
24:20 Freeze Spell!
24:26 Enchant Weapon Scroll. Just for the amusement value, since Enchant doesn't work on special weapons like the Blunderbuss. ^_^
24:27 Enchant! ^.^
24:32 4-2
24:55 Was thinking about going around to approach the mini-boss from below... but with the Ring of Peace, we don't have to worry about dragonbreath, and with the Blunderbuss, The Mommy isn't really a worry either, so...
25:38 4-3
26:14 Heart Container & Grenade Charm!
27:03 Mb: Banshee
27:20 Z4B: Deep Blues 4
27:31 Flawless! Reward: Sunglasses (nt). 3-damage is tempting... but 2-damage + Peace is still pretty good, so... especially this late in the run, it's probably safer just to stick with 2-damage and unobscured vision. ^^

27:48 5-1
28:43 Mb: Metrognome
29:12 5-2
29:58 Mb: Minotaur
30:32 5-3
30:42 Mb: Metrognome
31:14 Z5B: King Conga 5
31:32 Freeze!
31:35 Flawless!
31:56 My first ever Blunderbuss Monk win! =)
