TOPIC: N1/N2/N3 Challenge Ideas (MAJOR SPOILERS)

This past season, we set up a run at Origins with the explicit plan to kill the draccus via hitpoints damage.

I'm wondering what similar challenges we can come up with for this year's dungeons. Killing monsters under specific criteria or maybe solving puzzles with a twist.

NOTE: I'm specifically not looking for generic challenge ideas that could be done on any dungeon (turkey leg run, green with envy run, 6-token challenge, etc). I'm looking for challenges unique to these dungeons.

My ideas so far (to get people thinking):

N1:

R5(?) - This boat can really fly! - take the non-obvious route to the Bliss by shoving an astral island out of the way. (Purposely taking damage in the process)

R7 - Rainbow bridge speed run - everyone gets across on the fast series of lights. (Not something I'm up for, but tossing the idea out there)

N2:

R4 - That's not my spell! - try messing with the runes being cast to see if we can change the spells.

R5 - Figure out a way to get everyone into the cage before the giants can act and then just ranged attack them with no one taking damage.

N3:

R6(?) - Keep the second Hellkyrie from joining the first. Might need to do this on Hardcore or lower since it seemed like it happens during the surprise round on Nightmare. (?)

How about a 0 corruption pustual run

Given that I've already done a run where everyone got corrupted, going the other way would be nice.

It was said that the jail has a limited capacity.

How about try to kill both giants in the same round.

Kill the dragon without using any of the artifacts on the table.

I kind of want to try the following:

• Have the Druid and Wizards polymorph into something that could fit between the bars.
• Have the rest of the party stay back at the entrance, out of the giants' view.
• Druid and Wizards scurry into the jail without awakening the giants, then unleash their magics upon them.

Build your worst build that uses all slots and someone else in the group has to play it. Based on something I have done in magic build your worst deck.



I’m not sure if it’s that great heir. The one exception I would put to the your worst part is still loading up on TEs


Or could play a run where you can only use items in your build that can be used by all classes

I personally like this idea! Maybe allow a single token (or two) that are class specific be the exception, like Libram’s for the Rogue, Bowl of Spirit Sight for Druid, Greater Holy Symbol for Cleric, etc?

I may just try this for all 12 classes... and see how well it would work... but will miss my mad evokers charm for Wizard, amulet of guarding for Paladin, and such...

No Sill’s, but yes to Aeron’s even for Fighter classes sounds interesting...

Worst build, huh? Well, i got elf wizard down to max 3hp.

If I remember from origins...
Pushing the boat through an island does not go well.
