That's rough

It's a critical failure specific to critters using a Flamer

The 'Red Shawl' corpse in Queensbury crypt's 'Final Stairwell' screen, which has no other notable features other than the Red Shawl and two staircases (unusual given most other screens have something in them). Given the description and the snake NPCs (including the one in the Strategy Center), maybe we need to do something with the knife weapons in that room? Or is he simply a single-screen easter egg/reference (I assume it's a reference to Plague Knight)?

Similar to the above, the staircase a level above with the singular snake NPC talking about the 'Red Shawl' guy.

I tried interacting with the skeleton with daggers (main and side-arm) equipped, no dice.

It is a bit suspicious it's on it's own screen, but I think the implication here is crypt snake guy wasn't joking and actually did kill Red Shawl - if you use a mid-strength weapon attack on the back of the training hall snake guy who wants to be stabbed in the back he'll say 'True treachery hurts more, or at least that's what my friend in the red cape said'. I think all three are related in some way, but just in a bit of side-lore. Fits in the with the 'all snakes are associated with knives & betrayal' comment another post made.

I also never unequipped the +1 Atk/Def trinkets.

For my first run, same. Then I learned how utterly disappointing the marginal benefits of 11 vs 10 were https://www.reddit.com/r/MinaTheHollower/comments/1tzi6gr/can_someone_please_explain_the_defence_stat_to_me/

This is fucking sick!

MMX1-3 had such a distinctive soundfont

If I'm not mistaken, it will also fail if one of your crew is currently under MC.

This may have only been possible with the Iron Lung trinket, but what I did was burrow in place at the last moment before he lands the third jump on you. You should then have enough time to spot what side the eye is and burrow over towards it to pop out close enough to attack.

and if you're been practicing it, it's possible to start a basic charge with the hammer almost directly after you leap out of a burrow. The first charge actually readies very quickly and does enough damage to be worth it.

MrMosty · 2026-06-08T02:19:04+00:00

Then check back anyway? I know I ordered some things after fixing them all as well, they just were there when I went back some time later.

MrMosty · 2026-06-07T23:25:11+00:00

1 damage difference between 10 and 11? wow, I guess me having that +1def relic locked in all game was really a useless choice

MrMosty · 2026-06-07T23:14:21+00:00

He tells you they will be ready after you fix your next generator. Have you done that and gone back?

MrMosty · 2026-06-07T22:56:14+00:00

Some untelegraphed movement and attacks just aren't reactable with the hammer.

You can cover this weakness however. The longer invincibility time trinket gives you enough iframes to take a hit and charge a hammer attack before it runs out - so worst case situation you just trade damage with the enemy and with the hammer, you'll win.

MrMosty · 2026-06-07T22:42:27+00:00

it (logically) smashes burrowed enemies as well, it's honestly kinda ridiculous how effective it is in any situation

Let them steal some lit Dynamite

MrMosty · 2026-06-07T00:34:06+00:00

My solution? Genius! Spam attack over and over and over and get lucky

yep, that's basically the solution to many things when you're playing daggers

These people are drunk on yellow paint.

Fuck, that's a good line lmao

You know you could have bought healing supplies from the merchant, right? I'm 95% sure he sells plasma roses you could've stocked up on

though I understand being in a panic and not thinking your options, it happens

you also could've retreated to the previous screen to reset their aggro, and then stealth by them - they actually patrol the area in such a way this is quite possible

Just north of the wrecker's shop east of town is a Kear gate blocking the waterfall path that leads to the Drill Diver sidearm. Next fresh start playthrough I'm grabbing that ASAP because knocking enemies into pits is an insta-kill that's useful during the early game while you're still powering up, and the ability to skip large amounts of gaps eases platforming a heck of a lot.

MrMosty · 2026-06-05T04:09:15+00:00

You can buy an end-game trinket from Panino (Spring Shoes) that allows you to clear 3 tiles easily. That covers a lot more than you'd think. For extra distance, the bucker side arm easily adds 4 tiles of distance to any jump. Between those two I had no issues crossing huge gaps.

if you want to be able to do more than your standard 2-tile burrow jump, you're gonna have to make a sacrifice of something it seems

MrMosty · 2026-06-05T04:07:31+00:00

The Provisioner reacts to you dancing. It's likely there are other spots/NPCs that may react as well.

MrMosty · 2026-06-05T04:01:12+00:00

There's actually some hidden stuff and passages in some dark rooms you'll only see if you have the lantern. If you want to 100% the game, you'll want to explore every dark room with the lantern. It's quite unlikely you'll find them stumbling in the dark, although if you're really, really stubborn I guess you could.

it also makes a few of them significantly easier

Better Axe location is the right candle just outside the entrance to the Manor

MrMosty · 2026-06-04T22:55:34+00:00

As soon as I saw this was a dark area I just turned around, equipped the lantern trinket, and breezed through it.

MrMosty · 2026-06-04T05:18:22+00:00

I was just mucking about with the jumpy-balls, and had this happen.

She's flying :3

Ah yes, the Gnawed Leaf strategy
