I put some screencaps of what the attack pattern looks like, but it’s best to just watch a video of it (and the whole fight) to get a better idea of things.3 (with choices) VALERIE is a secret ending in Monster Prom for the shopkeeper, Valerie Oberlin. If you use this spell on the Shopkeeper as she sets up her “ice column” attack, the resulting explosion will do around 4,500-6,000 damage to her, effectively one-shotting her earlier tiers. If you want this to be as painless as possible (as in you just want to unlock her and don’t care about anything else), either focus Glimmer and look for Soul Link, or unlock Reva (Beat) who starts with this spell by default: Note that every character includes the Shopkeeper, so if you haven’t gotten the Eat the Rich achievement (and don’t think you’ll be able to), you can still unlock her by beating her Tier 1 version. I would recommend the Gate, as you can get spells that hit multiple tiles and deal massive amounts of damage without worrying about missing, although some people may also have an easier time with Terrable (or even Serif). Tips: You can complete any of the routes (Pacifist/Neutral/Genocide) to count as beating the game, so go for whatever boss you have the easiest time with. Note that if you use Blood Shield, you are probably going to die after you deactivate it unless you can finish the battle within the next two seconds or have Detox.ĭescription: Beat the game with every character
Here are some spells that will get you this achievement by themselves, AFKing recommended (spells or artifacts that grant large amounts of shield will not be mentioned as they cannot get you to 9,999 shield by themselves, but they can shave off a little bit of time):
Note that you need to be in an active battle to gain shield, so your best option would be to find a distress area with a turret/turrets and camp in a corner. While you could do this with Reva (Shield) on the first battle, and just move around with her Eschaton artifact 9900 times or so (you get a little bit of leeway with Shield Catch and Shield Beam…), there are some marginally better alternatives. Tips: There are a multitude of ways to achieve this (some more…boring than others), but remember that you lose 40% of your shield after every shuffle (unless you have the Duct Tape artifact, which reduces the shield loss to 25%).
Therefore, if you wanted to upgrade a spell four times from scratch, it would cost 1+2+3+4 = 10 upgrades. Tips: Remember that for every upgrade a spell has, it will cost an additional upgrade on top of the previous.
