Challenge Mode Pantheon of Hallownest Practice Towards Max Debuffs
0Possibly a shorter stream tonight, this will be practicing with challenge mode by Hoo-Knows to see if I can complete the Pantheon of Hallownest with more debuffs (ideally the maximum of five but I may try three or four initially). I'll likely pair this with other practice down the road but with the Cuphead stuff I don't feel confident trying any speedrunning or other stuff immediately.
This mod creates random effects for each boss fight to make it harder, including a few unique effects for specific bosses:
High Stress: sets the player’s health to 1 for 5 seconds after they get hit
Frail Shell: makes the player take 1 extra damage from all sources
Adrenaline Rush: taking damage speeds up the game slightly, up to a max of 15% extra speed
Aspid Rancher: failing to hit an enemy spawns a Primal Aspid
Void Vision: reduces the player's field of vision
Speedrunner’s Curse: removes Steady Body and Quickslash, equips Thorns of Agony, and makes the player take hazard damage when they try to Descending Dark
Nail Only: disables spells
Soul Master: gives the player the soul over time, but sets nail damage to 1
Hungry Knight: drains soul over time, the player begins taking damage after soul is empty
Unfriendly Fire: spawns a Grimmchild that attacks the player
Ascension: Gorb occasionally teleports onto the player and fires a ring of spears
Salubra’s Curse: unequips all charms
Past Regrets: spawns an invincible Shade (no contact damage) that slashes at the player and copies any spell the player uses
Infected Wounds: taking damage drains soul, halves nail damage for 5 seconds, and spawns 1-3 Infected Balloons
Chaos, Chaos: applies a different modifier every 15 seconds
Temporal Distortion: occasionally warps the player back to where they were 3 seconds ago
Poor Memory: makes the HUD lie to you (currently doesn't do anything if you have Hiveblood or Joni's Blessing equipped)
A Fool’s Errand: covers the ground in spikes or spawns enemies from the Colosseum in waves
Unique debuffs are:
Nailmaster: disables all attacks except for Nail Arts (applies to the Nailmasters)
The Ephemeral Ordeal: Grey Prince Zote can spit out Zotelings from the Eternal Ordeal (applies to Grey Prince Zote)
Something Wicked: invincible Grimmkin Nightmares (no contact damage) appear in the arena, dash towards the player, and burst into flame pillars (applies to Nightmare King Grimm)
Pale Watch: spawns two invincible Kingsmoulds (no contact damage) on either end of the arena that occasionally throw boomerangs at the player (applies to Pure Vessel)
Forgotten Light: modifies Absolute Radiance’s attack patterns, guaranteed to appear with High Stress (applies to Absolute Radiance)
Eye Beams: light beams last longer and rotate in alternating directions
Sword Burst: both swords waves spawn at the same time and move slower with a sharper curve
Sword Wall/Sword Rain: accelerate as they move across the arena
Orbs: spawn a light beam when they collide with an object or dissipate
Climb: light beams have a shorter telegraph and target the player with perfect accuracy
