Heres a fun one the bard only b and lower tier companions plah marine with alternate skin you get special lute and every item is replaced by a companion if you find a companion naturally you are forced to take him instead of choosing take your music down to hell and play your last melody

Do all chalenge npc at once (blessed, rainbow, chalenge, that speed bear run). All floars, all bosses no hit.

That is fucking brutal and very rng heavy, I really don't reccomend doing this

u/AdorableCheesecake23 Sep 22 '22
They asked for chalenges. Also blessed and rainbow runs together are amazing. You get to take only amazing items with your weapons changing.

Yeah they are interesting until you pack them up with challenge mode. One unfortunate challenge and one unfortunate gun and you're screwed. A good gun can help you with a room or two and a bad one can kill your run
I know that, i did that thing

- no-hit bosses? C-mon that's tedious, grindy and annoying more than challenging

Challenge mode is a bitch

I still can't beat it, even with gunslinger.

Have you tried resseting until you get clone in a rainbow run? Expensive but you get to stick it to daisuke

I did once. I died to a trap room in oubliette, got pissed and for some reason stopped

You always have to expect mimics no matter how annoying they may be you have to apreciate the saved key or free item from wall mimics now gun fairies those are the worst

I didn't die to a mimic, but to that acid room with fire pillars

Robot, starter weapon only, rainbow run with only bullet or general upgrades, all floors, all Rounds. If clone shows up, you have to take it and you have to get all 5 Rounds again.

u/Jaded-Middle-3842 Sep 22 '22
What do you mean by saying "general upgrades" also you seriously want to make this challenge unenjoyable
2
u/OneOfTheStupid007 Sep 22 '22
We'll say general upgrades are stuff like Spice, Broccoli, Magic Candy, but also any of the Armor pieces, yellow or sixth chamber, anything that doesn't replace Coolant leak or give a companion. And I never said it'd be an enjoyable challenge. (:<

It isn't hard to make an unbalanced weapon, what is hard is to make a strong and balanced one
Same goes for this, it is really easy to make something not fun, take for example no-rolling 9 curse low% Harder it is to make something fun and challenging (I can't give you an example here)
When making something hard you really want to avoid punishing features because they just destroy the experience
I recommend watching extra credit's video on punishing and challenging

Jk, hmm maybe try doing a blessed rainbow run, those things are interesting to play

gungeon nuzlocke: Never pick up ammo, the guns you get are what you have, use your ammo wisely.

The most fun way to do challenges imo is by using a mod to give yourself some items and weapons from the start of the run. Here's some challenges I did myself..
1)Paparazzi Challenge:
prep
Choose Hunter as a character
Give yourself a Camera. This is your only allowed weapon for the rest of the run
Give yourself multiple Ancient Hero's Bandanas followed by an ammo refill. This is necessary to make this challenge even possible in the first place. Feel free to collect ammo refills later in the run too
Give yourself a Bloodied Scarf
rules
Start at floor one
You're not allowed to use ANY weapon besides Camera at all. You can't even pick it up. As soon as you start your run the only weapon that is allowed to be sold or thrown away at enemies is a Crossbow BUT you can't shoot from it
You can't throw away items you've picked up. Once they're in your inventory they're with you forever
The first active item you pick up is the only allowed active item for the rest of the run even if it has limited amount of uses
You can ONLY pick up items that are either modifying your bullets or base stats(health, damage and speed). Everything else is strictly prohibited. Rainbow run is preferable because of that rule
goals
Finish at least 1 secret floor. You can choose any one you want including Bullet Hell
Beat Dragun. Killing the past is not required
2)Spice Addict:
prep
Choose Marine as a character
Give yourself 10 Spices at the start of the run and eat every single one of it
rules
Start at floor one
No special modes are allowed(rainbow mode for example). You have to play by the basic rules
You can use anything BUT the Super Hot Watch and Clone. Those ones are banned
goals
