Crypt of the NecroDancer (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
AMPLIFIED DLC v2.59 (2017 Oct 12)

Cavalcadence plays Nocturna 29: 0-gold run, 1-1 challenge! (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)


So, Cadence's "0-gold run 1-1 challenge" (i.e. don't acquire any gold for the entire run, and don't acquire any items or use any shrines after 1-1) was pretty fun, so I thought I'd give it a try with Nocturna as well. ^_^

Of course, one advantage Nocturna has is that she can defeat the Shopkeeper with only 1 bomb... which is definitely useful for a 1-1 challenge. =) Despite this advantage, though, it definitely took more than a few tries... before this run happened. ^^

Anyway, though it wasn't the best 1-1 Nocturna encountered, and though I definitely made more than a few careless mistakes along the way... somehow, this ended up being the run where Nocturna actually made it to the end. =)

So here it is... my first ever "0-gold 1-1 challenge" Nocturna win! Hope you enjoy!


Also, due to the more limited entertainment options a lot of us (including me!) have been having these past months, I've definitely become more appreciative of the options I do still have... and in an effort to help do my part, I'm currently recording and uploading on an "every third day" sort of pace (which is a slightly faster pace than normal for me!). Once again, I hope it helps, even if just a little! ^.^


Some notes and possible points of interest:

0:00 Lobby
0:06 Lvl 1-1
0:28 Bomb, up, up, right, down, down, down, down, down!
0:35 Compass, Titanium Shovel, & Cursed Heart Container!
0:59 Pulse Spell!
2:36 Mb: Direbat
2:54 Lvl 1-2
3:49 Mb: Gray Minotaur
4:04 Lvl 1-3
4:42 Mb: Red Dragon
5:22 Z1B: Fortissimole 1
5:45 Flawless! Reward: (skipped)

5:50 Lvl 2-1
5:52 Shopkeeper Ghost
- BTW, I think(?) the Shopkeeper Ghost always starts near the level exit, so if you note where he's chasing you down from, you'll know approximately where the exit is. =)
- Of course, in this case, Nocturna has a Compass, so she already knows which way the exit is, but... ^^
6:33 Mb: Gray Minotaur
7:11 Lvl 2-2
7:37 Mb: Gray Direbat
8:13 Lvl 2-3
8:59 Mb: Red Dragon
- Also, might as well use the dragon to get rid of some of the enemies, since enemies defeated by the dragon won't drop any gold. =)
9:27 Z2B: King Conga 2
10:06 Flawless! Reward: (skipped)

10:12 Lvl 3-1
10:14 Mb: Blue Dragon
- Aggro-ing a bunch of other enemies while fighting a Blue Dragon can be dangerous, so just for extra safety... heading into the shop, where most of the other enemies won't be able to see Nocturna. =)
11:13 Lvl 3-2
11:18 Mb: Gray Direbat
13:16 Lvl 3-3
13:33 Mb: Blood Nightmare
14:24 Z3B: Death Metal 3
14:56 Flawless! Reward: (skipped)

15:00 Lvl 4-1
16:24 Mb: The Mommy
17:07 Lvl 4-2
18:18 Mb: Ogre
19:01 Lvl 4-3
20:41 Mb: Green Banshee
21:35 Z4B: Deep Blues 4
22:10 Flawless! Reward: (skipped)

22:15 Lvl 5-1
22:46 Mb: Red Dragon
23:04 Lvl 5-2
23:57 Mb: Gray Minotaur
24:14 Lvl 5-3
24:59 Mb: Blue Dragon

25:44 Zone 5 Boss: Frankensteinway
28:16 Zone 5, Final Boss: The Conductor
28:32 Transform! (Bat-form for healing)
30:02 (back to full health!)
- BTW, getting remaining kills down to 1 before transforming back to Humanoid-form can be useful... because that means the next time you need healing and transform to Bat-form... you'll only need 1 kill for your first heal. =)
32:46 (farming for health + careless mistakes + even more farming... =p)
36:06 (finally back to full health!)
37:44 Whew! That took longer than expected, but...
37:50 "You won! Coin Score: 0" My first ever "0-gold 1-1 challenge" Nocturna win! =)
