**All Proto Movies are now done with the completion of Royal Jelly**

UVs and Gear Strength affect success alot in this game, although gear obstacles can be overcome. I can say this, but there is far more credibility in showing this.

All of these are done without Unique Variants, without trinkets, and done alone. Gear is shown in all videos.
**Update** This video will be my last in the Proto and Wolver series. Ending it with a bang.

So glad someone did this.

So glad someone did this. After almost doing Twins in my fresh 2* gear, I began wondering how cool it would be to do the bosses in the minimum gear level you can use.

You have made my day. :)

And Pre-nerf RJ! Win!

Twins (0*)?

Was thinking of doing twins in 0* proto, although I doubt anyone wants to watch me spend 15 minutes chipping a boss down with a proto sword xD

Fri, 10/28/2011 - 01:05

Quailia

I'm Confused

Are you advocating the gear actually be nerfed? I feel like that gear is designed so someone with enough skill _can_ kill bosses solo with minimal gear requirements as you have done.

otherwise, good job :) next step: vana in 0*

I actually find the idea of twins 0* very amusing. I would watch it.

Just tried twins in 0* gear

Doing a Depth 17 boss in 0* gear is tough stuff. Here's some interesting things I found out on my first attempt.

- Took me 23 minutes to get both twins to their last phase before I died a second time. Took 8 minutes to get both twins to their second phase.
- Proto Sword hits for 14 damage on regular hits and 17 damage on its' third hit. Charged hits land for 22.
- Blocking any attack not only destroys the shield in one hit, it also does damage and inflicts status (when possible).
- Scuttlebots seem to have about 375 HP in depth 17. That equates to about 26 normal hits or 17 charged hits. In other words, they aren't dying unless they are taking rocket hits from the twins.
- Depth 9 is a "Purple Eye Difficulty" in this gear. The following was done in Depth 17 xD.
- During the entire attempt, the twins were hit with their own rockets Fifty Six times.
- I recorded this attempt, although I'd just be archiving it till I have a successful attempt.

Quailia

Thanks!

Thanks for the health info of scuttlebots. how did you come to the number of 375?

going to add this info to the wiki relevant thread :)

Fri, 10/28/2011 - 10:22

Zinqf

@ Quailia

When you do 14 damage at a time, you can estimate the health of things within 0-13. Keep in mind that scuttlebots have less health in depth 16 and below and have more health at depth 19+.

With that said, to push twins to the next phase needed about 710 HP worth of damage. "706-719" This equates to 50 regular swings, or 16 Three hit combos. You have to push both sides to the next phase twice and push one of them a third time to beat the boss (5 times). So the boss has about 3,550 HP.

@Zinqf Come on, Proto Sword?

@Zinqf Come on, Proto Sword? Too easy! Take down the twins with the Proto Bomb only!

I've actually considered doing the twins on a 3* bomb-only run, given I've got a bunch of relevant equipment on my lockdown loadout, but there's a few spots in the IMF where I'm not confident of being able to make it through unscathed so I haven't attempted it yet.

Twins in full 0 star gear

It has been done. Full default gear. Died once, 8 seconds before the kill, boss had less than 28 hp left. Fight Duration 36:26

I'm messing with the video right now. For the moment I'll link the trailer until this video is tooled.

Proto Twins - The Movie
Generally it's gonna be PROto Ownage up until the harsh death trap that is formed just before the twins are defeated! It's tragic, but still ends mostly in victory =)

Next in line will be The Royal Jelly in full Proto Gear.

Hmm I have done snarby in

Hmm I have done snarby in proto gear, and I wager I could do the twins IF i could get to em (I have done the twins without getting hit before, and my first few times were with a 2* sheild with no elemental protection, it broke in one hit, but i didnt take damage, bit o practice and i could probly do it proto sheild, still i shudder at how long it would take to chip em down at 14 per swing), dont think i could pull off the jelly though so good on ya for that.

JK (0*) Update

Good News - I have killed the Royal Jelly using nothing but 0 star gear, and its recorded in its entirety.

Bad News - I died twice doing it.

With that said I'll be reattempting the run. Overall the fight was pretty clean and the total duration of the fight was 14:50.

The video looks decent but do 2 deaths invalidate the run to you guys? This was my first actual attempt.

Rangerwillx

Whoa.

Wow. Only 2 deaths on your first try is good. I'd think that 3 or 4 tries before you do that.
Me, of course couldn't do it in 15 deaths. Lag doesn't help either.
Anyway, looking forward to it.

Cheers,

I doubt it invalidates unless you abused the energy blast to do it, and even if you did its quite the "great" idea :P

Abusing perfect play with vials? Yes.

Any abuse involving deaths? LOL No.

SK DC's me during 2nd attempt; Logged back in to finish it

The 2nd attempt resulted in a Zero Star kill of Royal Jelly although the deaths I got were not deserved.

I get disconnected from the server, relog in dead and trapped such that a small energy blast wasn't enough to get me out. I did finish the fight with a pair of deaths and will be reattempting the fight. That attempt would have been a 0 death, guess itll have to be the next one.

Mission Accomplished

Completed the Royal Jelly in Zero Star gear. Just with the Proto Twins video, I yield one death just SECONDS from the actual kill. The clip together definitively states that the Royal Jelly can be beaten in 0 star gear. (multiple times mind you)

The placement of the phase 1 polyps is the worst possible configuration, 2 corners and middle on the same side. This placement led to a very harsh phase 1. After phase 1 completed I only manage to get hit once in phase 3, 14 seconds and one curse tic before the kill.

The duration of this fight is 18:41. Roughly Eighteen minutes shorter than the twins fight. It will take a short amount of time to get this video together, and I'm mostly glad the death occured the same way proto twins did....wouldn't want people thinking that the RJ fight was easier than the Twins cause they seriously were equal in difficulty.

Proto Royal Jelly - The Movie (0*)

The movie is finally complete.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ0rHWiqvt4

It took several fights in my normal gear to figure out alot of nuances and specifics. And it took 3 attempts (All of which did result in a kill), to get the clip that I chose to use as the movie.

Impressive feats in those videos. Particularly the marathon fight of 0* Roarmulus.

That said... Archiving this thread in the treasure vault? This is mostly a fanart/fanfic subforum. With active threads for such. This thread seems like it's more fit for the general discussion subforum. :V

I do understand your sentiment. :) Description, though: "Post your creative endeavors of a Spiral-y Knight-y nature here! Art, fiction, events...this is where the magic happens." Probably just named as it is to stay with the theme naming of the various sections.

Less archiving, more posting shinies. Your trailer might count, though, it's at least humorously put together. :D
