Strike the Solid

For Rune-blade in The Twin Wraiths (The Drowned crypt, room 120). This guide earns Strike the Solid. 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 Twin Wraiths (room 120); positive direct hero cast hits land on both original twins; no hero spell (a cast or its delayed landing) lands on a twin while its guard is intangible. Burns, ground and helpers are allowed but do not supply the qualifying hits.

Before you begin

The verified run used the Rune-blade kit after 119 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

• Both twins must take a direct cast hit: in the verified run Sweep and Chain lash hit the Wraith of Dawn, and Thunder lunge, Chain lash and Reaping cut hit the Wraith of Dusk.
• Leap cut on turns 3 and 5 damages nothing. A hero spell, including a delayed landing, must never land on a twin whose guard is intangible; burns, ground fire and helpers are exempt but do not count as qualifying hits.
• The run costs 26 HP between turns 7 and 9 and finishes with 49.

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.
