But once you have a +5 weapon, things will be a bit easier. Getting these quenching acid upgrades will probably be the hardest part of this run, save for beating the final boss.

Before we attempt to take on any of the temples, we're going to need a +5 weapon. So, from the start, head straight through the water this time, pass through all the brigand boys, and eventually the wooden door to the tower will be on your left. Whenever I exit this tunnel, I seem to get poisoned by a frog immediately. It’s probably easiest just to die and respawn back at the start. Interact with the shrine in this tunnel to enter the obsidian dark form and unlock the achievement.įrom here, we’re going to make our way to Fallgrim tower. In fact, that can be good practice for anyone struggling with this run. It’s pretty similar to using the Tiel shell. Yes, you die in one hit, but you can also sprint, roll, and attack almost indefinitely. The nice thing about not using a shell is that you have a TON of stamina. Rolling a lot here can help avoid all the attacks and especially the poison frogs. Go past Gorf and up the path slightly to the left. Turn left and follow the water around until you reach Gorf. Hang a left here and then continue straight until you reach more water. Follow the water down to where a sturdyman is seated. That is where we’re headed.įrom the start, move forward, trigger the short cutscene, then turn to the right. You may recall a tunnel near Gorf that I mentioned in the first playthrough. This will be tough, yes, but not as impossible as it might seem at first.įirst things first, we need to find the strange altar. You are going to be playing without a shell. As soon as you land in Fallgrim and crawl through that super long tunnel, DO NOT pick up the Harros shell that is on your left. Now, the MOST IMPORTANT thing about this playthrough is to never acquire a shell.
