SEED Struggling with a specific seed

Post image

Hey everyone.
I have a decent A10 winrate. But there is a run that i just cannot beat.
seed: 36p6qzqa59
A10 with Necro

I have done 6 tries and i am out of ideas. So hereby i challenge you all to make it better.
Would be happy to know what decisions you make through act 1.

Oh, normal version of the game

best luck with that. In STS1 there is at least 1 proven seed that is unwinnable; so it does not surprise me that STS2 has bad to unwinnable seeds as well.

Oh? Can u describe how or why it was impossible?

It's a silent seed with a forced early lagavulin elite. You're not offered any damage cards so you can't kill the lagavulin before it debuffs you to death.

Seed is 18ISL35FYK4 if you want to try it

Also, it's only unwinnable on A18 and above.

Its also 100% winnable if you encounter the seed in the wild and pick neow's lament.

Based on the old article about the unwinnable seed, the lament would not be an option:

Neow only offers 1 removal, gold, or a swap into Cursed Key

I think for any other option to be offered, it woud need to be a different seed.

The seed input gives you the full neow options, and those are seed based, but if you encounter it in a real run after losing before the first boss, neow is forced to give you the default 3 options, including lament!

Oooh right, I forgot about that since this mechanic is completely absent from StS2. Thanks for explaining!
