New save, Grand slam attempt #12 | Act 2 clear, WE GRINDING THIS OUT AGAIN!! | 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:
- The stratagem w taking the lungs out and then focusing the seething sigh (act 2 boss) directly worked quite well
- For next time I think it would be better to start dealing some damage to the SS earlier, since I believe the deep breath only starts occurring when the health bar gets below 70% (note: I did increase the loathing so it did have more health so that may have affected the fight length).
- Having more fire resist was definitely super helpful to avoid risky dd checks, some meltdowns is necessary, it's too difficult to manage the incoming stress
- Overall, good hunting!
- Onto Act 3
