Fight, climb and solve your way through a twisted tower as three unique adventurers, on a mission to save their village from impending doom!

Took me a few hours but handily beat boss rush w magic sword, blood chalice, sol amulet, and a trash fourth item. I admittedly did not play with Arias that much in my main playthrough, so did not realize just how useful/how many projectiles were able to be reflected (eg the black knight's lightning?). The claws trivialise the Dark Knight, who is, in my opinion, the hardest enemy for the warrior (his dash and leap patterns are hard to differentiate, so I also had a hard time beating him in the Dark Knight mode). Honestly, I cannot imagine doing the 3rd and final boss without the warrior's magic sword. Took 24 minutes, but that's mostly because I was playing it safe and trying not to go out of bounds by any means necessary. Originally posted by Pleont:Finally got a perfect Boss Rush run (magic sword, blood chalice, sol pendant, and claws). Though, that's only if they're related to ultra hidden in-game lore or content and not something ultra tedious like completing the main quest with zero upgrades or dying more than the one time. With this out of the way, I guess the only thing remaining are the 3 hidden achievements. Better to wait for some quality of life patches to make the game less tedious. I wouldn't recommend trying to unlock it now if you've been burned out by the main quest mode. The final secret unlocks a short cut scene. Even with as great as Metroid Dread was, Astalon was a better Metroidvania.
