Cavalcadence plays Monk 56: Titanium Longsword (All Zones Mode: SYNCHRONY)
So, after testing to verify that both the Ring of Becoming and the Glass Jaw didn't actually have insta-death disadvantages (Ref: Mary 189 & 190)... but merely a huge amount of damage... I started thinking...
Have I ever tested Monk's Curse in the same way? I was pretty sure I had, but... just in case, I did a quick test run with Monk, played far enough to find some Quartz Armor, deliberately stepped on some gold, and... yep, sure enough, Monk's Curse is an actual insta-death. =)
Anyway, since I was playing Monk anyway, I decided to record an actual Monk run, so... ^_^
Overall, the run went fairly well. The 1-3 Titanium Longsword definitely helped (it's a pretty safe weapon for Monk). And though I did make a few mistakes along the way... Monk managed to make it safely to the end, and I ended up with a Titanium Longsword Monk win! =)
So... anyway, here's the video! Hope you enjoy!
