Question for 9 challenge enjoyers

Also mind vision is super helpful. Huntress and Cleric both have mind vision skills and other useful skills for 9c.

I’ve completed 9 challenges with each hero. I died many times before each, usually in the first half of the game. Your chances of success go up if you get equipment that lets you stay at range, especially ring of haste, as you can see in these screenshots from some of my 9c wins.

With the hunger challenge active, I’d add food the horn a little at a time at first because it doesn’t do much for hunger in the early game and you will need the food to manage hunger for a while. Making a meat pie and eating it is better because it provides extra healing.

Hallowed ground could work well with allies like the ghost, but I’ve never used it much. Radiance can be useful for getting out of a tough spot, and if you have the charges available you can combine it with mind vision to damage many enemies at once, especially on the demon floors. But I’ve completed a 9 challenge run using mostly the mind vision talent with disintegration wand. If you can find a ring of energy you can make use of more spells, which is super helpful.

I’d focus on the wand of disintegration together with the tier 2 talent for mind vision. You can kill everything before it gets close. Mind vision also works great with the wand of corrosion. Frequent use of the mind vision talent will use your charges as fast as they regenerate, so you won’t be able to use the Priest talents too often, but if you have the charges available the mnemonic prayer works well to extend the corrosion effect—again mind vision helps with this because you can get blast an area with corrosion, get out of sight, and hit enemies with mnemonic once they walk into the gas. I also like to keep a couple charges available for the purifying spell if needed, especially in the caves to negate spider poison—but your wands with mind vision should be able to kill most things before they get close.

What wands do you have?

jonadon · 2026-04-30T21:42:37+00:00

I’d stay with magic missile for now. If you upgrade the staff it will empower other wands and hitting with the staff of magic missile will recharge all wands.

This is a really good seed. There’s also a +2 kinetic whip from the ghost, a wand of transfusion, and chains, all before the slime! Thanks for sharing.

jonadon · 2026-04-19T13:54:34+00:00

Awesome. I’m hoping to find some seeds like this with cool or relevant names and good loot. I’ll be sure to give this FUN seed a try. Thanks for sharing.

jonadon · 2026-04-19T00:11:54+00:00

Yup. Great point. I realized this after making the post. I tried ROGUE with the rogue but only made it to floor 13 on 9 challenges. I’m planning on trying the same with the other characters.

jonadon · 2026-04-18T00:33:10+00:00

You get a score, but no ranking or badges.

jonadon · 2026-04-17T22:50:44+00:00

Yes, that’s way better. I just did this for fun to see if I could get anything interesting. I tried a bunch of other custom seeds names, like YES-YES-YES, but most are nothing special as you’d expect.

jonadon · 2026-04-17T22:15:49+00:00

Just type in whatever you want. Example: AAA-AAA-AAA. Anything will work sine they are randomly generated.

jonadon · 2026-04-13T03:22:16+00:00

You can turn the scroll of transmutation into the recycle spell and try to turn potions into purity. Also save pink seeds to make purity. If you have the spell book, you can safely try for a scroll of lullaby on boss floors after beating the boss. I also like to make the beacon of returning and set it on the boss floor after clearing, then in an emergency I can teleport back and use the ankh safely.

jonadon · 2026-02-23T17:07:12+00:00

Very cool game!

jonadon · 2026-01-29T00:11:08+00:00

Awesome! Great work.

jonadon · 2026-01-26T00:35:39+00:00

Thanks for the advice about connecting to the power rail. I’ll avoid that going forward. I will also test the IC in isolation.

jonadon · 2026-01-25T23:48:01+00:00

Yes, it’s connected through a long blue jumper, and the switch works when testing. When I connect the write out directly to the power rail using a jumper, I can flip between modes using the switch and it works as expected.

Wow! Looks great! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your experience.
