I’ve beaten Custom Seed: 3LWVGX7BL, which was previously thought to be unwinnable. I already emailed u/forgottenarbiter but haven’t heard back from him yet so I decided to post it here. This on ascension 20, all unlocks, v2.2 on the Nintendo Switch. Quick rundown of how it’s done: Start on the second path. Kill jaw worm, take poisoned stab. Take the right path, kill small slimes, take poisoned stab again Living wall event: upgrade poisoned stab Golden idol event: lose 6 max hp Scrap ooze event: ignore Now we have the forced burning elite sentries. The reason you take the path with 3 events, even though one of them is scrap ooze, is because this will force the sentries to drop wraith form which will make the rest of the run easy. The way the sentries fight is done is… complicated. You more or less play this fight out normally, starting with the back sentry, then the front, then the middle. The only way to win this fight is by manipulating your discard pile, because the order you play cards will effect your shuffle, allowing you to draw two defends on certain turns. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the exact order I played, but the optimal way I found to finish this fight was with 17 hp remaining. If I recall correctly, playing two defends on the first turn, even though you have essence of steel, will allow you to win with 4 hp remaining, though you will still have to use the essence of steel to survive. 4 hp is sufficient for finishing this act, but obviously it’s suboptimal. Further experimentation is needed, and I will follow up if I find a reliable method of ending the fight with 17 hp. As long as you follow the route I’ve laid out, the sentries fight will present you with wraith form. Afterwards you can immediately upgrade the wraith form and follow up with an extremely easy fight against gremlin nob. From this point, the run becomes quite doable. All that is required is to beat the sentries and acquire wraith form. Something to note is that hexaghost will offer you tiny house, astrolabe, and calling bell. Astrolabe, in my opinion, should be skipped. Awakened one is the first act 3 boss, and if you use astrolabe on strikes it will give you eviscerate, accuracy and footwork. Calling bell, as you can see, gives you war paint, ornamental fan, and ice cream. Calling bell seems to be the obvious pick here. Please try this run out for yourself and let me know how it goes.
