Cavalcadence plays Nocturna 23: Green Bat #42 (missed) (Hard Mode: AMPLIFIED)
IMPORTANT(?) note: Apparently, when I was restoring Nocturna from my Weresheep Mary tests, I forgot to change her voice back to Nocturna (and didn't notice until recently!). ^^; So for this video (and Nocturna 22), you'll get to enjoy a Nocturna/Mary hybrid who looks like Nocturna, sounds like Mary... and has Mary-clones. ^^
So... a "now with final bosses" Low Percent run of Hard Mode is something I've been thinking about for a while. I'm pretty sure the Hard Mode versions of Nocturna's final bosses are the same as the normal versions (I think none of the story-based final bosses have the extra mini-bosses added to them in Hard Mode). Which means a "now with final bosses" Hard Mode Low Percent run would basically be just a combination of Low Percent "get to 5-4" (which I've done before) and Low Percent "beat the normal versions of the final bosses" (which I've also done before). Given how out of practice with Low Percent Nocturna I am currently, it won't be easy, but it's certainly possible... right? ^^;;
Anyway, my recent playthrough of Randomizer Nocturna reminded me that I'd been planning to try a Low Percent Hard Mode run... so I figured why not give it a try? So I did. =)
This... is what happened on my very first run. ^^; Yep, Green Bat #42! I spotted it due to Nocturna's Bat-vision... but unfortunately, I wasn't able to reach it, due to a combination of bad luck and bad decisions... =p
Overall, through, I wasn't quite as rusty as I thought I'd be in Low Percent Hard Mode, and actually made it farther than I thought I would in what was supposed to be my "warmup" run. ^^;
Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
The Green Bat was spotted (Zone 3, Level 3) at around: 10:49
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:11 1-1
0:35 Mb: Green Dragon & Minotaur
0:54 1-2
1:23 Mb: Red Dragon
1:41 Leprechaun... ack, paying too much attention to the ghost, and lost count. =p
1:56 Mb: Gray Direbat
2:09 1-3
3:08 Mb: Gray Minotaur & Red Dragon
3:18 Z1B & Mb: Fortissimole 1 & Gray Minotaur & Red Dragon
3:58 Okay, mini-bosses are taken care of. Hmm, I probably don't need to do a "safe strat" for Fortissimole 1, but might as well practice, since I'm sure I'll need it on a future run. ^^;
4:27 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for Low Percent)
4:31 2-1
4:37 Mb: Red Dragon & Banshee
4:55 2-2
5:01 Mb: Gray Direbat & Gray Minotaur
5:44 2-3
6:55 Mb: Blood Nightmare & Green Banshee
7:15 Z2B & Mb: Death Metal 2 & Blood Nightmare & Green Banshee
7:28 Whoops, missed a beat... darkness + parry confused me a bit. ^^;
7:43 Oh, no new summons? I guess we're at the enemy limit? ^^
7:52 3-1
8:14 Whew, made it through that mini-swarm intact. ^_^
8:21 Oh, maybe I should leave that fire beetle alive (at least until I know where the exit is!)... otherwise the sarcophagus will keep making more, and each one will make a floor hazard when I attack it... ^^;;
8:26 Mb: Gray Minotaur & Blue Dragon
8:51 Ow. Oh, right. Cutlass doesn't protect against push damage. =p
9:07 3-2
9:39 Mb: Blood Nightmare
9:52 Mb: Gray Direbat
10:21 Ow. =p
10:32 3-3
10:38 Transform! Down to one and a half hearts... might as well farm some health. ^^
10:43 Oh, the sarcophagus is producing black skeleton knights... hmm, I'll have to be careful not to get hit, but I think I should be fine, as long as I can find a safe spot near a wall to wait for the knights to approach. ^^
10:49 Wait, was that a Green Bat?! Eep, better pay attention to the knight...
10:54 It is a Green Bat! Hmmm... okay. Well, I'll worry about it after I finish healing up. ^_^
11:41 Okay, back to full health! =)
11:42 Transform! Now let's dig to the right and see if...
11:46 Oh. Can't dig through there... and not close enough to attract the dragon's attention, I guess? I could try using a bomb, but I'm not sure how far the level 2 blocks extend, so... maybe I'll just go down and around. ^^;
12:28 Mb: Blue Dragon
12:32 In retrospect, I almost definitely should've gone up instead of down here. =p
12:49 Oh wait, if the parry pushes me into the shovel, I'll lose Low Percent. Umm, okay, right and down and eep! Where did that wall mimic come from? Ack, this could be bad...
12:56 "You died! Press up + down to continue."
