Key Points of Pylon Challenge
Video of the full run uncut in case you prefer to watch
The challenge : Charge all Charge Shrine on a tier 3 run across all 3 stages without leaving the charge zone.
  • There are 15 pylons in a tier - I counted them manually just to be sure
  • You need a character with FAST base speed like Calcium
  • Monke is ok but you can accidentally climb a pylon and fail
  • T1 is hardest and you need to focus on getting through T1 because you are not flying around like Goku and dishing out one million DPS yet
  • Most fails are from BAD movements and wrong builds - Gear yourself towards swarm control, 2-3 moldy cheese will solve your boss problems

    IMPORTANT UPDATE**
    You now have a minimap, just press TAB.
Win through movement
Most people fail to even find the boss because they move around the map erractically with zero plan.
  • NAVIGATE WITH A PLAN not randomly - This is why most people can't even find the boss to begin with.
  • Check edge of the map first then the inside (See image)
  • All moais, merchants etc are now GREEN. CHARGE shrines appear as TEAL dots (They used to be all green)
  • Do not approach a green dot blind
    You dont know if there's a double pylon or a merchant, make sure you sight the feature first.
  • Do not approach a pylon from below
    This is very easy for you to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory if you approach a pylon from below where the activation area is the smallest and you risk jumping too high over it. Many ways for this to go wrong.
  • Using mini map to navigate
  • Take as many extra jumps as you can

    Pic: My navigation plan, if you spawn in the middle, find an edge first
    You do not need to follow this but you need a plan, otherwise you will be like a ship with no destination.
Other shrines and you
Shrines like the moai, merchants etc are also marked green on the map.
  • Activate every shrine not just the charge shrine, this avoids possibility of you second guessing yourself or having to double back
  • Avoid difficulty (Unless you want to)
  • Avoid taking Beacon - Beacon will give you two extra shrines, that's simply increasing your chance to miss them
BOSSES, MINIONS AND BUILDS
Bosses are not hard to defeat but have the highest displacement power to stop you from doing a shrine
  • Keep an eye out on boss and swarm timer -
    The FIRST boss timer is 7:00 and the second one is at 2:00. Avoid doing shrines just right before they spawn.
  • Take as little magnet as possible, use the power up / XP crystals as markers
  • Get as many anti-swarm items as you can - Items like bomb & Soul Harvester are A+ picks for the pylon run.
Items and builds to take
Weapons
  • Katana - Hits the nearest enemy, great as a defensive appraoch
  • Dexcutioner - High DPS against bosses
  • Aegis Shield - Force tank that one last bit of pylon timer without dying. You CAN do it without aegis but let's not torture yourself over a quest here.
Tomes
Tomes are not that vital in the run as you are focusing on not getting knocked off a shrine charge. But here are the recommendations.
  • Projectile Count - Scales with all recommended weapons
  • EXP - Since you are doing all three stages, it will pay off to take EXP tomes
  • Luck - Optional but a decent pick
  • HP - OK if you find a beefy ring early, you can multi scale HP and damage.
  • Attack speed, etc other meta picks are also ok.
Items
  • Moldy cheese - Strong against bosses, take at least three
  • Wrenches - This not only allows you to charge the shrines quicker, it also make the shrines give better rewards. Copy a few at microwave if you can. Remember you are building it for the mission, whether you get the T3 boss is a separate problem.
  • Soul Harvester - The absolute God-tier pick for this run due to the anti-swarm powers. Spawns projectiles on kill.
  • Slutty Cannon - Same as the soul harvester, spawns projectiles on kill.
