Change the Angle

Rune-blade achievement route, verified by replay: Defeat the Iron Captain by changing sides after his shield follows a hit.

For Rune-blade in The Iron Captain (The Kingsroad ruins, room 50). This guide earns Change the Angle. The Steam and mobile builds track achievements; the web build does not.

Not filmed yet. This route was checked by replaying it through the game’s own achievement judge, which awarded the achievement, but no video of it exists. The turn list below is read from that replay.

The rule

Win The Iron Captain (room 50); at least two pairs of consecutive positive direct cast hits (a first and a second hit) on the Captain, where the first turned his shield, the second comes from a different side, and a successful hero Step falls between them (pairs may share a hit); zero blocked hits against the Captain.

Before you begin

The verified run used the Rune-blade kit after 49 draft picks, one for each earlier room, in the order below. Every pick is one the game offered at that point. A different draft gives a different kit, and the script may then need changes.

What to watch

  • A pair needs a first damaging cast that turns the Captain's shield, then a Step, then a damaging cast from a different side. The verified run takes Steps on turns 4, 5 and 9 between its Chain lash, Sweep and Rune spike casts.
  • No hit on the Captain may be blocked: none is blocked in the verified run, which finishes with 15 HP.

If it does not unlock

The achievement is checked on a replay of a won run. Win the room with a script that follows the rule above; a run that does not meet every clause wins the room and earns nothing.
