Crypt of the NecroDancer (PC(W,M,L)/Steam)
SYNCHRONY DLC (Early Access) v3.1.3-b2962 (2022 Aug 19)

Cavalcadence plays Suzu 3: Pandaemonium (speedrun, sub-12) (All Zones Mode: SYNCHRONY)

Achievement: Pandaemonium
Description: Complete "All Zones Mode" in under 10 minutes with solo Suzu, or 12 minutes when playing with AMPLIFIED content (Synchrony DLC Required)


So, once again, I was trying some Suzu Low Percent attempts... and once again, things weren't going so well... ^^; So just for fun, I thought maybe I'd switch things up a bit... and try for the Suzu speedrun Achievement instead. =)

My first couple attempts, uh, didn't go so well. ^^; But then, I guess that didn't really surprise me, given that I'm definitely not a speedrunner... and I'd just been in "slow and careful" mode, immediately previous to those attempts. =)

The next few runs, however... actually went a lot better than I was expecting! And, well, long story short... it did still take a while (strategy adjustments, practice, more strategy adjustments, and more practice!), but... eventually, this run happened! ^_^

And while it definitely wasn't a perfect run, and I definitely made a number of mistakes along the way... being able to pick up items and equipment definitely helped Suzu out a lot! =)

So anyway, here it is... my first ever Suzu sub-12 speedrun (Pandaemonium)! Hope you enjoy!

2:48 Replacement Cheese, nice! Ack, too many nearby enemies... umm, maybe a bomb might be safer than trying to use an enemy to open the shop!
2:57 Gluttony Charm, Cheese eat (Cheese Gluttony! =9), Empty Heart Container, Carrot & eat! =9 6 hearts of health now, nice! =)
3:02 Wait, where did the replacement Cheese go? ...oh, we must've blown it up when we opened the health shop. ^^;;
3:12 2-3. Ooh, that trapdoor is a bit tempting, but... nah, let's not take the risk. We're only trying for a sub-12, so...
3:25 Oh nice, we're on-beat with the spike trap... ack, but not the bat! Ow. =p
3:29 Mb: Gray Direbat
3:44 Z2B: Fortissimole 2
3:51 What? Oh, shield skeleton blocked the dash, umm, umm... ow. And ow again. =p
3:58 Well that could've gone better... but we did make decent time, and didn't take too much damage, so... ^^

5:37 Mb: Gray Minotaur
5:41 Z3B: Coral Riff 3
5:51 Fireball! Flawless! Reward: Cursed Potion. Hmm, I don't generally like using the Cursed Potion, but... it will give us some extra health to work with, if we end up needing to sacrifice health for speed... ^^;

6:09 4-1
6:57 Mb: Ogre
7:25 4-2
7:49 Shield Spell
8:07 Lead Boots & Torch of Walls!
8:22 Ack, coin multiplier's too low to get healing from the golem... it's probably not worth the time to build it up again, right...? =p
8:27 Quaffed Potion! Coin multiplier lost! Ack, that wasn't one of the pushable ones! Too distracted thinking about gold piles for healing, I guess. ^^;; Okay, time to focus! Oh, we can attack the black bat! ...and open up the next room. =p
8:51 Fireball!
8:53 Leprechaun
8:54 4-3
9:11 Mb: Blood Nightmare
9:23 Ack, Ghoul! Eep, armadillo! Umm, ack, broke open the next room! Umm, umm... where is that ghoul? Ow, taking way too much damage! ^^;;
9:34 Hmm, actually, might be a good time to use that Cursed Potion now. ^^;;;
9:35 Quaffed Cursed Potion! =p
9:37 Z4B: Deep Blues 4
9:43 Flawless! Reward: (skipped for speed)

9:44 5-1
9:59 Hmm... probably safer to take some damage here, rather than Dash into the mini-boss room...
10:03 Mb: Earth Dragon
10:29 5-2
10:39 Ack, opened the room on the right!
10:49 Ack, broke open another room! Umm, this is not going well... might be best just to rush the mini-boss...
10:53 Mb: Green Metrognome
11:06 5-3. A little more than a minute left... should be possible, I think? Well, as long as we don't accidentally break open some extra rooms again. ^^;;
11:29 Mb: Red(?) Dragon
11:40 Z5B: King Conga 5
11:51 "Got 'im!" :3
11:59 Achievement unlocked: Pandaemonium! =)
