ight i just finished my second (pain mode) playthrough as well as joyful so i think i'll take you up on that offer. you can pm me (sent you a friend request#3945) or tell me your @ cause i cant find you
by the time i did my third playthrough for 1 arm + joyless on normal difficulty i figured out that oil/fire spam + fly is broken, did the satan fight without taking damage and without items. first time in a while a game has made me cry and it was worth the 40-ish hours to 100% both painful and joyful
yeah you can still do that with fly and mad dog,, on my first playthrough i held on to olan (my heart was not ready to let him go so thank god he stayed till the end) and he had poison+bleed arrows so i used him and kept firebombs on me as well
1 thing ive been wondering about for a while is whether its possible to softlock yourself by having 3 of your guys die to charmy, letting terry go, then when you get percy going back to punkert and losing all your other guys to him, then not having anyone for russian roulette. not sure if thats how it works though and also sounds like a huge hassle
