Hell Maiden: Tips for Beating Lust Without Healing More Than 500 HP

Theres really only one good option but ill go through them all anyway
This is also purely about this playstyle in this area, all weapons are suitable for normal play.

Horace’s Carpe Diem:
The best option. main weapon has no large flaws and the ultimate is incredible for survival and wiping out swarms of enemies, ultimate can even be used to tank boss’s final attack without worry. unforunately though this will not help with the traps, it may help wipe out the slimes, but the succubi will dodge out the way and remain a problem after the ult. try to dodge inside the trap so you can keep attacking the succubi, and only ult to not take damage, especially if you will be able to run away aferwards. For mods, build a lot of projectile amount increases so these fly all over the screen and take out enemies.

Virgil’s wayfinder:
not really impactful enough for me to even test personally.

Homer’s Winged Lyric:
can one shot the first enemys for quick early level up, but feels less impactful later on. what kills this option is the ult. the tornados will catch fire slimes but the slimes will still leave lava on the floor and it makes them more of an obsticle then before.

Dante’s Blazing Quill:
You have to be close to enemies use it, this can be fixed later with area increasing mods, but the risk of the exploding enemies bouncing another enemy at you is too high.

Ovid’s Codex Amoris:
Takes 3 hits to kill the weakest enemy, with the close range option just like Dantes. The ultimate also heals you, which while i havent checked if it count as heals that will block this achievement, im assuming it does. The worst option, OR IS IT??

Yeah it still is. BUT

this will save your run if you start with Horace’s Carpe Diem and get it as your second card, is that reliable? no but pray to Ovid’s beautiful bosom that you obtain this early. This will make the wheel enemy ambush almost a non issue as her barrier is up constantly, and should hopefully kill any of them on touch. Go for damage boosting mods to fight of slimes in the endgame, and try to increase its area so the slimes cant get too close

IMO Codex Amoris is the most important piece of the puzzle but the second most is Homers buff card that i forgot the name of, its the wind one, you know what im talking about, yes over the shield, i know it tanks damage but listen. Try to get as many of these fans around you and make them as big as possible, this will help keep enemies away especially while grabbing temples but also just for saving health purposes.

For card 4 try and go for something in the same vein as Dante’s flamethrower. We want something to be able to be targeted towards elites and bosses to get rid of them rather quickly, but if youve built your other cards strong enough you could use this to place mods that do stuff like increase adjacent number of projectiles to Carpe Diem or the fans.

This might take you a while, in my opinion its certainly a lot harder then doing the same achievement in limbo, but with time you can manage.

Save Carpe Diem’s ult for the final boss’s final barrage of attacks, survive about fifteen seconds of it while theres a lot of room then you can pop it and it should last around thirty seconds to survive the rest.

Succubi are annoying. try to just run around in a circle around the trap. Since their attacks track you you mosly just have to be vigilant about dodging their moves. Grab the extra dash with he wails of the abyss, the extra hp too.

Whenever you get offered a hp increase through charms or temples take it since this is the only way to take more damage with healing.

Dont grab the mod that will pull exp to you because i will pull heals too.

Also on my run i had a level 3 poison mod card on three different weapons, maybe that was he real saving grace to get this achievement. i dunno girl.

Anyway god bless Ovid or not shes in hell ig.
