Sorry for the double-post, but I felt like resurrecting the topic, and I reached the 5-attachments limit on my previous post.
I beat my time by 1 second.

How do you defeat Monster X with only 3HP? The machine gun doesn't fire fast enough to kill the things coming at me. The bubbler works well but it does bugger all damage. . .

I've never tried this, but here's a guide about beating Monster X with minimal items (3 hp, Polar Star, Blade, Fireball).

I've done it. The key is to use your Blade than attack it once or twice than run away before the shots hit you. Once your far enough away use your Polar star to shoot the renaming stuff. After that just stay in the middle of him and shoot! It took me a while to do.

Practice. Also try watching videos of speed runs, and try to take certain elements of those runs.I might try writing a short guide when I have time (maybe within a few weeks). No, actually, I'm too lazy too. After all, what I would be writing is just a description of those videos, anyway.isaacx wrote:how do you even get through hell, to me, it's so much harder than all the other places?
I just beat the whole game again so I wouldn't have that useless Bubbler (I know I could've used a save game editor, but I didn't want to).
Oh, and I just beat it again...
And again...

Makes me feel like crap.
What makes me feel even sadder is that I had trouble beating that time even with a trainer (invincibility, infinite booster, infinite missiles, permanant lvl 3 missiles and Snake, and permanant lvl 1 nemesis). It took me several tries to get 2:17.0, but it was really fun doing so (especially the infinite rockets).

(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)
NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)

What's a minimal items run?
And I never knew this thread existed until a few minutes ago.
But of course, I haven't even got up to hell yet so I wouldn't know.
*Edit* Oh, and isn't there any contact damage with the second form of Ballos?
And I never knew this thread existed until a few minutes ago.
Would it really be that hard? I thought he just learned how to play the game backwards and rely more on Curly's Nemesis than the Polar Star. He fired backwards against Ballos for the entire fight, but when everyone else is using level three rockets and maxed health, I guess it was still pretty impressive.

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.
As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.
Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.
Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.
Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.
Yeah, I use plastic.
Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!
Ska- UR MUM LIKE IS SPICY

There might be, but you still might be invincible from the spikes. Everyone in those speedrun videos was using some kind of accelerator gamepad that makes them mash the buttons more than is humanly possibly whenever they tap it once, allowing them to shoot rockets out at maxmimum speed. You normally can't do that without cheating.z3phyr wrote:What's a minimal items run?

A minimal items run is a run using only the items that you are forced to get (3 hp from the beginning, polar star, blade, fireball, Booster 2.0).Zephyr wrote:What's a minimal items run?
