SEE AHEAD-OF-TIME WORLD CHANGES BELOW

- skipped Moss Grotto
- opened the door to Halfway Home in Greymoor (right side)
- opened the door leading from Greymoor to Shellwood
- granted myself Needolin after it was temporarily granted to me by Bell Eater

if anyone figures out how to avoid any of these and complete the run, tell me how!

Around 43:20 the "pain anguish and misery" wish is for Tormented Trobbio battle. It even says so in the signature "The Tormented One". Don't know why it appeared after you beat him, but it was not the Flea Caravan quest.

POV: hornet blacked out from the fall and sherma solos the game until hornet woke up

46:31 also holy that editing it also is so much more impactful if you know the song

I beat the voided moorwing on my first blind playthrough, i just skipped him in act 1 by going with the flea caravan and i didn't kill him until act 3

Preseason instrumental as BGM is crazy, great music choice man

23:00 you can actually find the white key there before you get the merchant, and you don't even have to pay for it if you pick it up before the merchant shows up

13:48 I headcanon that Widow got a taste of her own medicine and got buried in fallen bells from the crumbling structure, freeing the Bellhart residents.

Oh this was a sick challenge to watch, congratulations on beating it!!

That Tormented Trobbio death stung so bad, my sister had that exact thing happen on Lost Lace (floor void tendrils spawned right as she did the final hit)

1:06 the thing is, if you compare hunter and wanderer... Wanderer's attacks aren't shorter, just narrower

Hey bro, how's it going? Great video. As someone who created a version of this challenge in the vanilla game, I’d like to add a few extra details (if you have the patience to read them): 1: It is possible to do this without mods, simply by editing the save file. 2: Regarding your question in the middle of the video about actually starting Act 3 in the usual spot: Even if you get past the arena, your movement is restricted, forcing you to rely heavily on the "Return to Menu" option. However, it’s impossible to leave the area because you haven't defeated the Bell Beast; this means you can't summon the Bell Eater, leaving you trapped. 3: To beat the game, you need three specific items: the double jump, a Simple Key, and the Needle. Without them, finishing the game without mods would be impossible (for instance, you can't get past the third room of Mossgrotto without the double jump). 4: The Flea Caravan and Bell Home are inaccessible; however, Act 3 triggers the quest to save the blacksmith, allowing you to upgrade your needle. That said, without Bell Home or the fleas, the maximum upgrade level is only 2 (meaning you can't craft Pharloon's Great Needle without the flea games). 5: It is indeed possible to beat the game despite all these limitations, even though it’s extremely difficult.
