Crypt of the NecroDancer (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
AMPLIFIED DLC v2.59 (2017 Oct 12)
Cavalcadence plays Monk 44: Titanium Broadsword (& Dagger of Frost win) (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)
So I was playing some normal Monk runs, and a couple runs in, the game sent Monk a 1-2 Ring of Might and a 1-3 Titanium Broadsword... and honestly, that combination basically carried the rest of the run. =)
And then, fairly late in the run, the game decided to offer Monk a 5-2 Dagger of Frost. Heh. ^^
It's kind of rare to see the DoF twice in such a short amount of time... so it kind of felt like the game was offering Monk a second chance, after the way the last DoF run ended (see Monk 43). Especially since the game was offering the DoF on 5-2... the exact same level where the previous run came to an end. ^^;
So... we picked up the DoF, and picked up where we left off... and as a bit of redemption, actually managed to get that Dagger of Frost win. =)
So anyway... here's the video, hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:06 1-1
0:54 Mb: Minotaur
0:56 Leather Armor
1:54 Scroll of Fear, nice! =)
2:18 Bright Torch & Chainmail!
2:50 Drumstick & eat! =9 Nice, back to full health! ^_^
3:03 1-2
- Ack, wasn't able to get to the stairs in time... but still, that was a pretty nice 1-1. =)
3:18 Hmm, a food item and mapping... yeah, let's use the scroll. ^^
3:22 Fear!
3:28 Torch of Walls & Cheese!
3:41 Ring of Might, nice! =)
4:15 Mb: Red Dragon
4:31 Leprechaun & Lucky Charm!
5:40 1-3
5:46 Oh wow, that Nazar Charm is really tempting, but... having a 3-damage broadsword would be a lot safer than a 2-damage dagger... plus we'd be able to open boxes and barrels... Hmmm...
6:28 Hmmm... okay, yeah, let's go for the broadsword!
6:35 Titanium Broadsword!
7:13 Mb: Gray Minotaur
8:08 Earth Spell
8:17 Z1B: Fortissimole 1
8:51 Flawless! Reward: Pulse Spell!
8:59 2-1
9:42 Lead Boots! ...though that spear was pretty tempting, broadsword + immunity to icy floors and wind spells... is probably safer overall than spear without ice/wind immunity. ^^
10:09 Mb: Gray Minotaur
11:08 Hmm, song's starting to come to an end. I kind of want to check out that hidden shop, but... might be best just to head for the exit, so we don't risk losing the 2-1 gold, like we lost the 1-1 gold. ^^;
11:16 2-2
11:49 Monocle!
12:50 Mb: Gray Direbat
13:11 2-3
13:24 Hmm, I hear stomping... and the shop is right there...

18:15 Freeze!
18:20 3-3
18:50 Mb: Green Banshee
19:17 Z3B: Death Metal 3
19:21 Freeze! Flawless! Reward: Throwing Stars (nt)
19:31 4-1
19:40 Torch of Strength. Don't really need 4-damage, but this means we can switch to a different weapon or different ring, and still have 3-damage. ^_^
20:15 Gluttony Charm (Ham Gluttony! =9), Cheese, & Empty Heart Container!
21:03 Mb: Blood Nightmare
21:26 Eep! Wall pig!

27:01 5-2
27:07 Hmm, not interested in anything here... oh wait, there was a secret shop!
27:12 Bomb, bomb, down, down... oh, forgot about the bomb charm. Whoops, didn't mean to attack the Glass Shopkeeper. ^^; Umm, anyway, let's see what the secret shop has!
27:19 Interesting! A Dagger of Frost! Not as safe as a 4-damage broadsword, though, so... maybe not.
27:26 You know, on the other hand... after what happened with the DoF last time (Monk 43), it kind of seems like the game's trying to offer Monk a second chance, so... yeah, let's go for it. =)
27:30 Dagger of Frost! Have to make sure not to forget about piercing this time! ^^;
29:17 Mb: Green Metrognome
29:24 5-3
29:57 Mb: Red Dragon
30:16 Z5B: Coral Riff 5
30:22 Freeze! Flawless!
30:28 Though we did acquire the DoF really late in the run... still, a bit of redemption after what happened last time, so... yay, Dagger of Frost win! ^_^
