I start here like this: http://i.imgur.com/yU5iwSk.jpg

Run the First floor of "It came From Below" (which is D24 Shock themed Candlestick Keep)

End up here: http://imgur.com/pAroRcZ,yU5iwSk#0

With all the monsters dead, an emergency rev still intact, and no vitapod on me (also with baby sprite).

Only weapon: Neutralizer

Can you pull off this insane act? If you can post your own screenshots in this thread, fight the conformity, and start the path to master of all trades.

so to clarify

So this is a challenge, in which you ask players to complete the first level of It Came From Below, killing all enemies, using only a Neutralizer.

If they want to sure go ahead. Was more of a self challenge and a way to hone my prediction skills, since I started playing SK I've never taken the easy road and as such I feel like I have developed my skills faster than those who take the easy road out (Chaos Brandish Pulsar). If I can encourage others to do the same that would be optimal.

I like to put myself in really deep holes like this and see if I can fight my way out.
Next time I run this I'll make it harder on myself since that armor is built for that mission.

sounds good

Yes, it is really easy to get comfortable with a small set of skills and a particular play style, especially when you've invested a lot of resources into UVs that enable that play style. I too have to kick myself into learning anything new. So it's good that you're challenging yourself. Cheers.

How about

Using a toxic catalyzer, 3* biohazrad, in proto armor, and no shield or sprite. You also must kill every single enemy there is, miss one and you fail the challenge.

:D

First level of "it came from below"? Same as just running candlestick keep.

Now try running the second level.

Because i'm going to make a neutralizer, even though I have full skolver, vog cub, btb and only use swords and have a sword based loadout.

I'm sorry you've limited yourself like that, I've made it a point of mine to be adept at using all kinds of weapons in SK.

Well you either farm vana hours on end/use irl money/spiral knights addiction to get pretty much every weapon type armor sets...

OR you can be extremely weak since you have no equipment bonuses... (or use chaos cowl but die in a few seconds after being hit)

I chose neither. Idk which one you chose, but whatever to your unnecessary comment. I'm just gonna abandon this thread before it turns into a flame war.

I don't farm Vana
I don't use IRL money
I don't have all the sets

I've just had an account for over 2 years and I enjoy trying stuff out

@OP

For me, a fun challenge would to complete "Dreams and Nightmares" on Elite, without using any Sparks of Life, and wearing only the Azure Guardian Set with an Aegis, Valiance, Nitronome, and the Leviathan Blade. Mind you, this can be done in a party, but they must all have the gear, as well.

Got through the first floor without dying, but ending up getting clobbered on the second floor (Void Lichens + Void Wisps = REST IN SPIRALING PIECES)

Also @Cozmar, I've played this game for roughly 3 years now, and I have a ton of gear that was gotten from doing mostly arcade runs and prestige missions; the Firestorm Citadel/Vanaduke isn't the only source of making money in the game, as the Arcade can have a far greater payout, if one is lucky (treasure vaults) and/or daring (arenas and danger rooms). The only time I've honestly used IRL money on this game were doing some nice promotions, or to get the guild hall improved step-by-step.

Aegis, Valiance, Nitronome, and a Lev? Sounds like my kind of party.
