Happy Birthday, Dex! 🎉 There are 39 weapons in this game but 7 of them are from the DLC meaning there are 32 in the normal game, you can seal 10 of them meaning there are 22 left which means with Silent Old Sanctuary you can banish one clover by mistake and still get all weapons!
you can do it with divano in the dlc, banishing the laurel on the 2nd or 3rd level (I don't know if you can get armor or you'd just end up with no way of dealing damage)
"Which faction do you belong to?" Team Crimson shroud easily. You can always save the idea of "Actually banish every weapon in the game" for a later video too.
My favorite part about being subscribed is seeing you start the challenge and then go and refining it in my own ways and reading comments of others who have done the same or put the pieces of your build together to say why it was so successful. I'd never mind if you didn't stick 100% to the beginning guidelines
I’ve been playing more Vampire survivors as of late ever since I finished Alan Wake 2, and thus not having any long form game to play. I could’ve sworn that I had beaten the game ever since I fought God(?), but finding your channel has shown me just how much more to this game that there is. Seeing you play Inverse mode without a single weapon is inconceivable to me, at this point I have no idea how that would be possible as I have yet to beat Boss Rash with even a single weapon
If you try this challenge again you should try getting laurel ASAP and then banishing it the next level. No one should complain about a level 1 laurel and that way you don't have to worry about running out of banishes.
@@heccinsiannait doesn't do damage by itself by definition its not a weapon. the only reason its a "weapon" is so it won't be an item only evolution and allows other items to effect it. (The wiki says it has a damage value but it does NOT use it)
This start with toasty was how I did the 1billion damage run. I just did this by the title before Watching yours and I did basically the same thing. Good stuff man. Happy late birthday ^_^ congrats on that 69k subs lol
Happy Birthday dude! Not sure if you tried it yet but with Divine Bloodline it is definitely possible to do stuff like Bone Zone Inverse Mode (no items or extra passives besides the Metaglios and Rings), No Eggs, and no Limit Break (and only pick money instead of chickens), take Wicked Season at lvl 1, and fully level up Skull and Torrona's Box for max curse. The beauty of this build is that you will one-hit ko all normal enemies that ever spawns even if you die once in the run, so no need to worry about curse getting out of control. In fact, you NEED more enemies to come at you so that the damage you do will go up way faster than the enemy's HP from curse. I haven't tried it with no weapons, but it definitely works easily with Victory Sword, Night Sword, and Crimson Shroud. Just banish the Victory Sword and Night Sword evolutions and you should be fine lol
I first did this challenge with Cosmo, who gets the two birds as hidden weapons. Divine Bloodline makes Cosmo invincible. I hadn't even thought to try heart of fire, I forgot it was retaliatory, but I did Silent Old Sanc, and the damage bonus for having literally no weapons is amazing. Super fun, and I actually did dodge taking the Laurel, but it involved a combo of standing still and Game Killer, so yeah, would;ve been a boring stream.
This is what I call the "immortality build." Or, with Cosmo, it's the "Murder Missile" build. It's usually my first tactic when I can't clear a level with a character. Only if it still doesn't work do I switch to Game Killer. I also like to pair it with Sarabande, so I can get the HP back up to a point where I can estimate if I should shove an Atlantean.
@@M0M0117 I get that aspect of it, but why do people consider it boring? Is it OP? Does it scale wonkily? I tried it once and was underwhelmed. Either way, thanks for taking the time to reply, internet stranger!
@@davidrosensin7985 it tends to be used in try hard early game rush builds. Level up fast then stop leveling and get game killer, it’s not anything more than that.
Happy birthday, Dex! I've got a guideline for you whether or not you should try something that doesn't 100% fit the theme you're playing: "Is it going to be fun for me to try it? If yes, then do it!"
Happy Birthday Dex, perfect way to celebrate it a bit. I agree there's no way that taking Shroud made any difference except that it allowed you to kill Red Death in the end. The irony is that you're another year older and the White Death ingame got you in the end just like Death will take us all in the end...LOL
28:28 I think you can cancel out the auto money by picking up a passive and then the next level up will recognize there's an item to level up and it will return to a normal level up option.
The struggle at the start is the most interesting part of such challenge runs, later on its just the same, so just go nuts with limit break and such, makes it more interesting. Besides 28+ min there is nothing to see between like 11 min and 28 min
First off Happy Birthday! Second, to answer the question you asked. I think starting with a goal is the best way to make a good video but don't be afraid to go off script and change the plan if you feel the plan isn't going all that great. I am also on team chaos, so going bonkers is the best way to play this game imo.
Damn Dex has survived another yeah while playing Vampire Survivors. I guess we can really call him the "Vampire Survivor" ;) Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag und alles Gute weiterhin!
Happy brithday Dex, and intresting new concept of "my face it's my shield". For your question on go bonker or not go bonker, always go bonkers it's more fun because you can see what break at the end.
i much prefer to see you have fun you know so much about this game that i dont even know how you know but you do so when you encounter something you dont understand me as an engineer wants to see you figure it out in real time it's much more fun to watch that process unfold lol
I tried this myself and had to banish 8 items before buying more banishes from the merchant. Needless to say, my Devine Bloodline was delayed by a lot (about 5min i believe) and i heavily relied on chicken drops to stay alive. Considering the amount of restarts and waiting to passivly heal up just to banish one more random item, taking level 1 Laurel and banishing it afterwards would be the more sane option. Still very fun idea and very satisfieng to make it work.
I think it's enough that you proved it's a valid strategy. You should have definitely gone for whatever else you wanted to try after the 15 minute, specially with 20k hp in my opinion.
I know the game pretty well and sometime I don’t understand his though process as well. Sometimes Dex talks for 20 seconds but his brain buffers and doesn’t follow his voice. Lol
For surviving 30 min you don't need gold healing nor extra revives. What you want instead is boogaloo of illusions for more area. Also I don't know the update history but we have a lot more than 10 seals now. The best thing to seal though is the freeze pickup because it stops everything while active.
Cool run Gave me an idea I wonder if it's possible to beat a lv without dealing dmg Laurel and lancet would be allowed as well as the necklace powerup that makes enemies dissapear
Play how you want. It's fun to see you have fun. We don't care if you stick to a theme 100%. We are her exploring the "challenge" with you.
Kinda late but W man's subbed

game killer halts xp gain thus making it banish all
With the new update this challemge is even more doable

Boss rash is easy with Porta and game killer, you basically don't even have to try
@@darrenarchibald5238 you know, I considered changing the typo that I made, but it’s funnier if I just leave it as is XD
@Raybro16 it's actually called boss rash not rush
@@darrenarchibald5238 is it??? It’s been a hot minute since I played the game “XD
Thanks for clarifying that
If you try this challenge again you should try getting laurel ASAP and then banishing it the next level. No one should complain about a level 1 laurel and that way you don't have to worry about running out of banishes.
Then it's not a "no weapon" challenge, tho. It may not do damage, but Laurel is still a weapon.
Laurel is actually a weapon not a passive, similar to garlic

Yeah this video was amazing ! I would love to see a limit break shroud with the gold arcana, that sounds Hella fun!
I'd also like to see this.

Play as you want as we are here for you and your amazing content!
The way is to do 2 video :
One with laurel
One without weapon
Maximum content
Also Happy Birthday Dex !

I absolutely love this. A pure tank build. Bravo!
Talks about getting clover right after banishing it.
You should try with sarabande of healing. Push enemies back, chickens are nukes, double healing. With coin arcana would be nutty too
This is what I call the "immortality build." Or, with Cosmo, it's the "Murder Missile" build. It's usually my first tactic when I can't clear a level with a character.

What does Game Killer do?

A lot more fun to see you have fun with it, once you figure out the run is won might as well go bonkers

No, but picking up an item AND then a chest should work, if I am not mistaken! Godlike idea, I will keep that in mind, thank you :D

Happy birthday, man!!!
i want to see you go bonkers. you seemed excited when you said that. so of course i want to see excited Dex
Disco of gold and sarabande of healing goes together pretty good.
you can check your current hp with divine bloodline by looking at the difference between your max hp and your might stat -75 (powerups and spinach).
Happy birthday Dex love your videos man❤
Happy Birthday Dex!!! I saw you would've done it properly and was fine with the change up.
Not sure if I'm already late but Happy Birthday Dex!
Happy birthday Dex! Have a good one.

Happy birthday Dex 🍰 🕯️!
Me looking at that gameplay when I stopped playing fairly early after the game came out due to new job:
"WTF am I looking at?"
Happy birthday dex, thank you for making me interesting to this awesome game 🙏
Happy birthday for yesterday Dex!
you even kill red death in the end. epic.
Does blood astronomia and attract orb counts as a weapon free run too?, :o
Not sure whether to congratulate you or pay my respects but your already over 69k
happy birthday my guy, hope you had a great day
You proved at 12 minutes thst yku beat the challenge. You were totally justified to take more fun route
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag
Happy birthday! 🥳
I prefer you going for the shroud, but I have 100% faith in your choices.
Happy Birthday!!
Hey happy birthday! it was mine too yesterday
Happy birthday man
Happy birthday!!
Happy birthday Dex
As someone who doesn't know every item by heart, it's pretty hard to follow your thought process at times.
I know the game pretty well and sometime I don’t understand his though process as well. Sometimes Dex talks for 20 seconds but his brain buffers and doesn’t follow his voice. Lol
happy birthday youtube man

Listen Dex, just have fun, the more fun you are having the more enjoyable the video is. So to answer your question, just have fun.

Cool run
Gave me an idea
I wonder if it's possible to beat a lv without dealing dmg
Laurel and lancet would be allowed as well as the necklace powerup that makes enemies dissapear
Tyler was talking about this kind of run in today’s upload.
Happy Birthday Dex have a nice day and take care
Happy birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
