Notes:
- Wow, It's actually done
- I knew theoretically it was possible, but it is truly amazing to actually have done it. A full grand slam w a fresh save file, thank god for game acceleration otherwise I would still be stuck in act 2 lol.
- An overall clean act 5, unfortunately no plague doctor experiment trinket for extra blight damage, but luckily it wasn't even needed.
- We also just didnt get good combat items which was rough but manageable w act 5.
- I think for real this time I am done w dd2, it has been an amazing journey, really fantastic, but I'm not really sure what I want to do w the game now.
- Maybe bastard's beacon grand slam? Not a fresh profile for gods sake though. Maybe even try different comps? Love the unusual suspects, truly an excellent comp buuut for seeing the game differently, if there was another good comp for grand slamming, I've tried in the past but we'll see.
- My approach turned out to be very different than the redditor I saw before doing this, focusing on deadeye and not venomdrop GR, dismas HWYman rogue pathing for duelist advance and no take aim (which I would never have done last year), dancing w hold the line on MAA and PD, well she always healed and blighted as normal. But I became extremely cautious and defensive if any character became any where near low HP, many bitter attempts when I didn't take care of HP.
- Wow, well if anyone has suggestions of anything cool, can always try something else tbh. Really love dd2 and I'd do anything to get more spice out of it aha.

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!
