Outside Her Quarter

For Rune-blade in Medusa (The Glasswing steppe, room 140). This guide earns Outside Her Quarter. 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 Medusa (room 140); zero Medusa guard-blocked hit attempts and zero hero stun applications from her gaze; directly damage her during at least two different facing quarters. No wall-clock speed condition.

Before you begin

The verified run used the Rune-blade kit after 139 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.

• Medusa has to take direct damage in at least two different facing quarters. The verified run damages her with Thunder lunge, Chain lash, Shove line, Reaping cut and Lunge on turns 2 to 10, and kills the harpies and the basilisk afterwards.

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.
