New save, Grand slam attempt #11 | Act 5 Challenge end - CATASTROPHE STRIKES?!!? | DD2
Rules:
- Brand New save profile
- Instantly attempt a grand slam
Thus locking us into Unusual Suspects (PD, GR, HWYman, MAA). (can technically swap for Duelist w DLC as she's part of the starting roster now).
- Which will be 6 runs in total (proven via the profile summary afterwards)
- These 6 runs are in this order: Prologue-Act1-to-5
- In the prologue to farm for more candles, technically I can unalive 3 characters for more candles (candles don't seem to be a major issue so far).
Can we essentially beat the game without grinding?
- P.S. I am using the ingame cheats after editing the ironcrown.dll files, purely to speed the game up, anyone who has played this game knows how incredibly slow this game is (unfortunately there seems to be tonnes of graphical errors).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Originally I thought about this idea after seeing the concept of beating Hades 1st go, w no upgrades.
After googling, saw on reddit that Sivy17 successfully completed this challenge already.
Sooo until the stygian blazes become more interesting, this'll have to do!

Notes:
- Holy shit no fucking way
- For next time I will not fuck around and just kill the regression
- My normal gameplan is generally to continue damaging the boss whilst delaying killing the regression, however due to a glitch I was not able to properly select a hero and was just happy I could pick any hero, which ended up being MAA, normally w MAA he would protect the hero being targeted and tank the damage whilst the other hero can damage the regression and have them at 1 health so they can be taken out when needed whilst damaging the main boss. But MAA needs to defend and attack if he is selected, so delay tactics shouldn't be used, I had forgotten this and thought it was still alright to delay. That was a big mistake which lead to a failed dd check.
- There was absolutely no reason to lose that run, everything was perfect, there was no issues, maybe lack of healing items but really everything was going well.
- I had forgotten about covetous gaze stealing tokens in phase 2, but not really an issue w the insane DOTs of PD clutching everything
- I'm not sure I'll be attempting this again anytime soon, this has been pretty exhausting and I'd rather do nearly anything else tbh.
- It has been fun and definitely this challenge is 110% possible if you just not make moronic plays like I did.
