Uurnog / Empty Pockets Challenge
« on: July 06, 2017, 18:48:09 »
The challenges on here are really exciting, and they got me wanting to try and think up one of my own. So I give you this: the empty pockets challenge!
EDIT: changed the rules so that you have to complete BOTH endings, and made it so you can obtain but not SPEND money.
The challenge is to complete both endings without using the inventory or the inventory book in any way and without spending any money during the course of the run, though you may obtain it by, for example, using the green gun to remove a gem in your way. Also, you may only use one master key.
The idea with this challenge is to find the most effective way to amass the required stuff without visiting shops. The less doors you unlock, the less areas you visit, the better. This isn't part of the rules, but I think it'll be a lot more fun as a challenge if you think of it that way.
I'm gonna make a video of me doing this run in case anyone wants to see how I'd do it, but I don't think it'll be difficult to complete. The real difficulty is in finding the most efficient and/or interesting solution to this problem! For although playing through the whole game methodically would indeed be a solution, it would definitely be the slowest. I like how The Village Is Lava forces you to kind of play around the game, and I wanted to see if there was a way of doing that kind of thing that didn't involve farming the master key repeatedly. Hopefully this can turn out interesting too!
