Wordless Fire

For Battle-wizard in Wailing hall (The Drowned crypt, room 104). This guide earns Wordless Fire. 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

In Wailing hall (room 104) the original banshee dies from a field tick that includes Scorch path, on a turn the hero is silenced, and the hero casts nothing from the last silencing wail through that turn.

Before you begin

The verified run used the Battle-wizard kit after 103 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.

Enter it exactly as shown, keeping the indentation, and press Play. The verified run took 13 turns, 16 executed instructions and 16 rows and finished with 90 HP.

What to watch

• The Banshee silences the hero for 2 turns each time she wails (turns 3, 6 and 9 in the verified run). The rule counts from the last wail before she dies: that is turn 9, the turn she dies, and the hero casts nothing on it (it Waits). The Scorch path cast on turn 8 comes before that wail.
• The fire Scorch path leaves on the ground kills the Banshee on turn 9. The run finishes with 90 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.
