SYNCHRONY DLC (Early Access) v3.5.1-b3875 (2023 Feb 03)

Cavalcadence plays Monk 51: Blood Trident (All Zones Mode: SYNCHRONY)


So, as a bit of a change of pace, I thought I'd try some normal Monk runs. And a few runs in, the game decided to offer Monk a 1-1 Battle Shovel, Torch of Foresight... and Dagger of Phasing. =o

But then I started thinking... actually, I've already completed a DoP Monk run before (Monk 47)... and I'm kind of in the mood for a slightly safer weapon...

And that's when the game offered Monk a 1-2 Blood Trident. =)

Anyway, long story short, things went pretty smoothly after that, and despite me making a couple careless mistakes along the way, Monk managed to stay safe from both enemies and gold... and I ended up with my first ever Blood Trident Monk win! ^_^

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


Some notes and possible points of interest:

0:07 1-1
0:33 Battle Shovel!
1:36 Torch of Foresight & Cheese
1:59 Mb: Minotaur
2:42 Dagger of Phasing! Ooh, that could be interesting... ^.^
2:53 1-2
2:57 Ooh, a Blood weapon could be interesting as well... hmm, and we have completed a DoP Monk run before, so... sure, let's see what weapon the shrine gives us! ^_^
3:09 Blood Trident, nice! =) Plus, I don't think we've done a Blood Trident Monk run before, so... ^_^
- [Whoops, looks like I got a bit too focused on the Blood Shrine and maybe getting the Ring from it but only having one bomb and thinking that maybe using our only bomb might be a bad idea in case we need it later... that I completely failed to notice the hidden shop in the lower left, heh. ^^;; ]
3:25 Hargreaves
3:59 Mb: Red Dragon
4:04 Leprechaun & Lucky Charm!
4:51 Ring of Regeneration!
5:07 Apple & eat! =9
5:30 1-3
5:50 Mb: Gray Minotaur
6:03 Hmm, that skeleton ended up in an unfortunate spot... though I guess we could dig the tile to its right, and it'll move there instead... oh wait, no we can't, the trident will hit the skeleton before we can get there... oh wait, unless we drop the trident first! ^.^
6:43 Magic Cheese get! Eep, wraith! ...Magic Cheese eat! =9
7:04 Gluttony Charm, Drumstick & eat (Drumstick Gluttony!), & Heart Container!

8:38 Flawless! Reward: Fireball Tome (nt)

8:47 2-1
9:18 Mb: Red Dragon
9:46 Quartz Armor! Hmm, actually... this is a pretty good build already... there are still a couple unexplored rooms on the map, but... nah, let's just go. =)

16:08 Oh, right... trident will interfere with the Earth Spell strat... oh wait, unless we drop the trident first, hmm...
16:21 Coin multiplier lost. Ack, thinking too much about no-weapon Earth strat, and whether it'd actually be safer, since it'd mean there won't be any more summons... hmm, actually, yeah, if only for the amusement value, let's go for it. =)
