Mr. Mega

My Reflection

Strategy: Everything about this challenge is great, except for the my reflection. Careful maneuvering when your shots miss will be your best strategy. It will help for you to put momentum into your shots to help them travel a further distance to strike enemies, that way you aren’t accidentally getting hit in the blast radius from being too close to the explosion. Taking the time to break rocks and mushrooms will be beneficial. It also isn’t too difficult to hit walls in order to search for secret and super secret rooms. If you don’t trust yourself enough or still find it too challenging, try and acquire an item that will replace your ipecac shots, like Mom’s knife. The absolute best thing for you to find will be Pyromaniac. It will not only prevent you from taking damage from your Ipecac shots, but it will also heal red health if you need it. Finding items that produce flies will help due to the massive damage boost they will receive form Ipecac. If you are finding a room too tough you can always just bomb through the door on to the next one. Just make sure you are a safe enough distance away.

Completion: Completion of this challenge unlocks the Suicide King card.
