Spiral Knights - Shadow Lair: Gloaming Wildwoods (Solo, Elite, No Deaths)

The keys required to make this happen were a gift from an anonymous knight. Thank you very much!
Had some big derp moments in this one, but still the challenge got done. Might have gone for a cleaner run if not for the RNG moments here, mostly during the first and last encounter with Snarby where you can get sniped so easily.

Not the cleanest run, but still trying to not be too picky. Deathless + SSB + no health caps is still a nice achievement no matter how you slice it, so I'll take it.

What I wanna know is why SHINING FIRE CRYSTALS are dropping in a SHADOW LAIR
I assumed it would just be radiants...
What?

[@Pyrosparker]

Legit

[@felipepaes5056]

Nicely done! I keep trying to master the blitz quick attack w/o reloading, but I can't seem to get it.

[@Pyrosparker]

You might have already seen it, but I have a weapon-switching guide. If you haven't seen it, it's worth a look.
If you already know what to do but it's proving tricky, just practice in 'slow-motion', taking things one action at a time. Timing is kind of an awkward thing in this game, but if you keep at it, you'll get the hang of it fairly quickly.

Thank you! I'll take a look for sure and keep practicing it.@@Pyrosparker

SL Snarbo more like FSC Speedrun gear XD
Great video!

[@darthmortem585]

That bossfight was clean!

[@Pyrosparker]

Definitely my favorite part, just about makes up for the big yikes at 20:30

[@Andre-sn7uc]

Sick game! Do u have any tips for how to stun Snarbo? since most of my bell's hits wont stunt Snarbo even if they are under the bell's range and the bell gets triggered

[@Pyrosparker]

Unfortunately the fight is a bit unreliable in that way, but it should work *most* of the time. They aren't stunned by the bell no matter how close if they're travelling underground, so there's that.
Vortex can work wonders as seen here - it can pull them in even if they're burrowing as long as they pass close enough by. That means you might not even need to lure them in manually, just get them caught in a vortex and they'll pop up in that spot. Example at 25:48

Thank you for the video :)

[@Sylvieon]

25:51 gives a big fuck you to the people who complain that ssb can't tank enough ngl

[@ultron_gr6668]

[@disissididkss1004]
