Challenge: #13 Beans!
Description: The Beans! challenge requires you run to Depths II to defeat Mom.
Unlock: This Challenge is unlocked by default.
Starting Items:
9 Volt
The Bean
The Black Bean
Butt Bombs
Pyro
Strategy: This was one of the last challenges for me to complete. You are unable to shoot tears and your only means of damage is through the bean and your butt bombs. Luckily with the 9 Volt the Bean recharges over time. It becomes a game of patience because you don’t want to be using your bombs unless absolutely necessary. Like if you have any enemies outside the range of the Bean. The Mom fight is what you will be saving the majority of your bombs for. With Mom having the ability to spawn enemies faster than you can recharge the Bean, you will be relying on Butt Bombs to clear some space as well as deal damage to Mom herself. Having a familiar will be most beneficial to helping you continue to damage enemies while waiting for the Bean to recharge. You should avoid having another active use item because it will take away from your main ability to damage enemies. It is very important to note, that unless you have the PHD, you should avoid taking pills. All it takes is one bombs are key pill to ruin your run entirely.
Completion: Completion of this challenge unlocks the Burnt Penny.
