What a run I just had - and I cleared it! Went in just with the free large loaf!
I just let some bag o'laughs take a couple grand for me in the higher floors because I was
out of items and I had to get the heck out of there. That said, I think the Chest of Cheer gives you unlimited food, as I stopped getting hungry when I picked it up, and I didn't have one of those rings that does that.
That said, it felt like the game
knew I had the Chest of Cheer and started messing with me on my way back out of the dungeon. I ran into
three monster dens on the way out - two were dangerous, one on 4F just felt like a troll because no way was anything in there gonna kill me lol. But the other two both had, among other things, Rockbombs in them, and while they don't do much damage just from regular attacks, if they explode (which is inconsistent - sometimes, I'd just kill them and they'd die without exploding, other times it'd just happen), and you're nearby, you will be automatically reduced to 1 HP. And if there happen to be two exploding Rockbombs nearby? Dead. So I couldn't just spam Bang Scrolls, not that I had enough to handle the
six monster dens I ran into in the whole run lmao. Sanctuary Scrolls feel broken - only an exploding Rockbomb can destroy a placed one, and only some of the monsters special attacks can hit you while you're standing on one of those. I cleared two monster dens with those, it was really touch and go for a while there.
I haven't gone back into the dungeon yet, there's apparently more floors, but thankfully whatever items you had with you when you rolled credits go into your storage. Thank
god they do, too, because I had some pretty good stuff - another Dragonsbane, and a Liquid Metal Shield +3, although by the end of the run not a whole heck of a lot else besides cash lmao. I think I can still upgrade Torneko's shop, too, and the game is fun as heck so I'm gonna keep playing. Great game!
