Crom's Challenger, and Crom's Champion 😈 [Challenge Streamed on Twitch]

@stelagel new challenge, and this is going to be :partying_face: :upside_down_face: :thinking:

Crom’s Challenger :facepunch:

• Start a new game, make sure to turn off Durability loss, put the slider at 0
• Spawn yourself a Sword of Crom :crossed_swords:
→ This is the only weapon you are ever allowed to use :notlikethis:
• No Thralls or Pets, only Dancers are allowed :dancer:
→ You must Enable PvP and set Friendly Fire to 1 if you use a dancer :imp:
• Drop Backpack only, so you don’t lose you Sword of Crom :slight_smile:

We’re not going to bother doing all the Boring World Bosses but still…
• All Dungeons
• All Vaults
• One World Boss of each type
• And a Purge Ⅹ


And now… The real challenge :smiling_imp:

Crom’s Champion :muscle:

Same thing, but Rolling Thrust is banned :rofl:


Of course, for The Dregs, you are allowed to craft and use a Bow + Arrows, Javelins, or Throwing Axes to trigger the mechanisms :slight_smile:


I will start Streaming this challenge on Twitch tomorrow, 26th September, at 11:00 GMT → Greenwich Mean Time - Time.is

I will post an update here a bit before the stream starts.

You didn’t say no thralls…checkmate. (If you know what you are doing I bet someone could do this challenge without their character killing a single enemy)

You are free to use thralls if you want, they aren’t prohibited :slight_smile:

Wait hasty, lol. Let’s speak first.

You can allow bows too. It’s a mech for dungeon progress.
But not for other use than this.
It’s crystal clear that we use only sword of Crom!
Yet difficulty? I would suggest decadent. I already did 12 purges man there’s nothing like you know this far, these purges are something you haven’t seen so far in this game. The game was never this difficult since day one when we speak about purge lvl X.
We can fix armors
We can fix bases, we need purge after all.
We are allowed to use archers ONLY in purge, no other thralls nowhere else.
However snake fight?
You can kill the snake as long as it opens it’s mouth you dodge it to avoid the attack and then you attack once only and dodge back. With sword of Crom i never test it, if the second we have is not enough it makes it mission impossible!
Rockslide is ok, with a good set of armor you can endure hits and you don’t need agility at all.
But still it will be difficult.
Healing ALLOWED!
What do we miss?

You do not run out of stamina with one Light Attack from Sword of Crom if you are full Grit, so you can dodge. It will be painful stamina management though :smiling_imp:


Yeah same thing as Javelin / Throwing Axe, it’s only for The Dregs though, unless they changed other Dungeons that much :thonk:


Not much of a difference between Decadent and Barbaric, only the damage you deal being 90% and enemies being 110% if I recall :man_shrugging:

Also yeah you’re hungry and thirsty slightly faster, things decay a tad bit faster, but not much of a difference to be honest. So whichever you prefer


Oh yeah I know those are ridiculously brutal due to the constant flow of enemies… Their spawn/respawn rate is just broken as heck :notlikethis:

Will have to be clever when building the treasury, it might be manageable with a weird chokepoint :smirk:


Eh, you know what, you’re not allowed Thralls, but you’re allowed pets :smiling_imp:
New rule just for you :rofl:


Yes, the previous challenge honestly took too much time because of the no-healing rule…
We could say no to in-combat healing, but this is an idea for another time :slight_smile:


Uhm I don’t know, I think we covered most things :slight_smile:

Don’t underestimate the power of pets especially in single player, but i am 100% certain that you haven’t done any new purge yet.

It was painful, truly

I’m actually thinking of only allowing Dancers and nothing else, they’d be utility mostly :+1:

2 purges lvl X no naked prisoners, ONLY stygians and khitans ! The demolishers are more than 30.
The wave lasts at least half hour. They come in decades and above all, it’s not broken man it’s war :man_shrugging:. They promised war and they gave it. What’s broken is that if demolishers accidentally break something they shouldn’t and cut their way in the purge is canceled!

Can i give them bows? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yes, you can give them anything you want, they will not be good enough fighters to solo the game and bypass the Sword of Crom challenge, that’s all :slight_smile:

My Bella is ready, but first comes first! A mans word comes first.

@everybodyvsME when do we start in your server?

One last thing, since we’re allowing Dancers, and they are followers:
Enable PvP, set Friendly Fire to 1 :imp:

You’ll have to be careful not to destroy your dancers :slight_smile:

Deal, i, ll use them only as archers, there’s no way i will hurt them. But i will :+1:t6:


They’ll be on foundations away from melee dmg.

Oh no I also forgot one last thing, don’t drop stuff on death!

If you wanna drop backpack that’s your choice, but definitely not dropping the hotbar because Sword of Crom :notlikethis:

Drop backpack :wink:.
Dancers with Szeth truncheon only, to make it spicy, what do you say.

Edit look how cool the Berserkers fists are

I don’t know about that one chief :rofl:


Anyways, I went in to get a feel for it :smiling_imp:

LVL 10, did the Giant Crocodile, just enough stamina to light attack + dodge, things are manageable without Rolling Thrust (when it’s just one enemy :imp:)

I will go full strength, line them and slice them with R2, at least i think :rofl::rofl::rofl:.

I confirm, the Giant Snake is possible without Rolling Thrust, but it is painful, especially because of the corruption reducing your Stamina :harold:

However, somehow Funcom messed with that boss and they do a much weirder animation before attacking, they seem harder to hit overall, but still manageable :slight_smile:

We’ll see. I loose all my stamina even with light.
