 The Grind: Low% Hell Redux

Posted by ix on February 10th, 2018 @07:32PM

HUGE announcement! MossRanking will host an encore edition of The Grind : Low Hell% on Saturday, February 24, 2018 @ Noon Eastern Time.

 

This time around, we'll feature four new runners: MikeIsMyIke, GreatStriker, Khold, and denis1080.  On the digital casting couch will be max-low-hell% completers, ix and Kinnijup, plus our very special friends, MeowMixMix, Vlad, and chocolatecake5000.

 

A quick reminder on the rules of the category...

 

Low% Hell means beating Yama without collecting any unnecessary items or extra resources. Allowed are the following:

 

 The Book of the Dead, to open the Hell door.

 The Scepter and Hedjet, to open the City of Gold door.

 The Ankh, to get the Hedjet.

 The Spelunker's starting resources: health, bombs, ropes.

 Environmental items, such as rocks, pots, landmines, and arrows.

 

Notably, the Udjat Eye is not allowed, which means the Spelunker needs a very sharp eye to locate a partially visible Black Market... which is not always possible. Picking up other aids, like extra bombs or ropes, obtaining passive items like the compass, wearing items like the jetpack, activating weapons like the shotgun, or gaining life in any way besides reviving from the Ankh is prohibited.

 

Quite the challenge, so how many of our runners will succeed?  To find out, tune in live on Twitch on the MossRanking channel, and set a reminder for yourself, so you don't miss it!
