Dungeon Defenders Tutorial & Guide: Solo Halloween Spooktacular Challenge

[bemshire]

when you got a msg on steam i thought it was mine and got excited

[punky14678]

D: Ill never get this... Is there like any ways I could get carried in a lobby? lol

[GW4GTA]

i was trying this out but noticed that i cant build that much :o missing 2 auras and 4 towers... only 2 DU left :/ nerfed?

[ViciousXUSMC]

@GW4GTA Yep Monk aura cost went up. Pretty sure I did an updated tutorial on it.

[GW4GTA]

@ViciousXUSMC still somehow succeeded, and got my ninja monk :D thanks for the guide :p i'll check the other ones as well :D

[PrimeHunter37]

What pet are you using on you Huntress in this video?

[ViciousXUSMC]

@PrimeHunter37 A genie, gives mana to the player when you attack and do damage to an enemy.

[TheRavingPanda1]

@ViciousXUSMC so no vid? :( lol. well can you message me them? if its not a problem :)

[TheRavingPanda1]

can you make a video and show us your specs on your characters? pls man :) it'll be greatly appreciated :). im going to sub once im on a comp :)

[ViciousXUSMC]

@TheRavingPanda1 I try to show specs each video as they are always changing, I just was not in the habit of showing specs on some of my first videos.

[1110Lloyd]

Hi...nice tutorial....is it possible to complete this challange on hard with your strategy without having a good dps char???

[ViciousXUSMC]

Think I'll try and get a spook guide up today! sounds like a good goal. Also starting to work on the Warping Core DLC I think, something new.

[M4nnus]

@ViciousXUSMC

You should do that. Your current videos helped me a lot already (although I always bring minor tweaks to suit whatever friends I'm playing with), but I still have quite some problems doing this level properly. So yeah, do this. :D

[velofilms]

That being said, I didn't mean to stop you possibly improving your guide with an updated version ViciousXUSMC. All your DunDef videoguides are really helpful and much appreciated. If there's anything left, I'd like to see a Throne Room Insane tutorial one day.

[velofilms]

As others said, it still can be done with a slightly edited version of this (excellent) guide.

Basically..

05:05 Place only one Bowling Ball Turret instead of two.

05:35 Same thing here, only one Bowling Ball Turret.

08:20 Cut that Magic Missile Tower. The Fireball Tower alone can take care of this.

I did that with Level 70 Squire & Huntress, Level 63 Monk and Level 53 Apprentice.

[Sepilein1]

@velofilms omg thanks for that comment and thanks to Vicious for the video. i was stuck on my hunter (wasnt able to insane assault) now im gonna push my godly van wolfstein from first try and try it again ;)

[Cre1235]

Hello - Any ETA for the updated tutorial on Spooktacular Hard? There are currently no video's up with the current version of the game, all are outdated, and I can't get them to work. - Good work on the video's, and keep it up!

[CmdoDelta]

Hi sir,

Nice build. Looks like amount needed to buy def has changed but I'll try it doing some change.

Just a question for you: Can you share the stats of the weapon of your huntress? Looks very nice! But I read lot of people saying this weapon sucks so was just wondering if they are right and how you managed to get that DPS. Cuz this weapon look really cool. I want one":D

[ViciousXUSMC]

@CmdoDelta Yeah I will be coming up with a new tutorial for this one. There have been many changes since this video that make this challenge harder. DU cost increase, weapon nerfs, ogre buffs. Most of my old tutorials a small tweak you can do yourself can make it valid for the current version of the game but I feel this even requires a complete overhaul.

Tutorial for it probably will be out this week, I solo'ed it on Insane one time but it was a crazy final wave, not nice and smooth.

[156458864]

@ViciousXUSMC

Thanks a lot for your hard work.

There is also a change in warping core.I was woundering till now, why i can't build the same setup, like in your tutorials.

Can you please recheck and mayby post another one?

[ViciousXUSMC]

@156458864 Yeah monk aura DU increase in cost. Old build still works but I cut the ensnare auras in the top 3 areas to free up some DU or you can use 3 MM and 1 Fireball instead of 2 & 2.

[MrYukieme]

Just wanted to say thanks! I managed to do it with some panicking with a level 68 huntress for dps, lvl 51 tower monk, 48 squire and 61 apprentice. Great build, though because the Du for tower monk was increased I had to replace the four cannon balls with apprentice fire towers, which was better in my case anyways since my squire is low level. Thanks again! Do keep making DD vids, they've been great help to me xD

[TerrariaIdiot]

I don't find the final wave hard. With the Ending Credits song, I go crazy and kill everything because of the awesome of the song.

[TwistedFire85]

I found an uber way to solo hard mode.... its so ez... u can afk and it takes care of itself..... Put down Snare/Elec auras and put hunter gas/immo traps in the exact same spots, witht he exception of putting the immo/gas near the one pumpkin on the ground near the crystal. Just put up some MM for wyverns and put 1 bowling ball gun up top in same place you put yours and put up the bouncers in same places u did and ur set... its soooooooo ez lol

[TwistedFire85]

Ok so what I had to do was sell 1 cannon from each of the places you stuck 2 and then I hadf enough DU to put the rest of the stuff up to protect crystals from Wyverns.

[TwistedFire85]

NVM I see why..... they patched it and made the auras cost more.... Great

[TwistedFire85]

Ok I am at a loss.... i put everything down you did but I ran out of DU before I could put down the last 4 items you did.....

[TwistedFire85]

Pro tip if you're having trouble with auras that are too big.... take a pice or two of your armor off and lay your auras then put your armor back on. My aura radius is 117 so I took off 1 piece of armor and then put it back on.

[skaterbakers]

dude thank you so much!

[DarkAnimeWindSlayer]

Time to level a squire. Got Monk ready with impressive building stats at lv 40 :/

[LostsagaFan1]

Can u get costumes for Ps3?

[AshinoxVG]

@LostsagaFan1 Nope

[lildman9]

may i ask your monk auras build?

[ExtremeFLo]

fpr insane you just build the towers on the roof and on the edges so ninjas wont destroy them ;-)

[CantThinkOfNameOhNo]

could you tell me your monk's aura radius? I cant seem to get the electricals to fit in one area

[OpaPop]

thanks dude, i did it with a 35 mage, 70 squire and a 40 monk. i did this now th 4. time and its awesome. 

[failbaitlol]

Really nice mate, subbed.

[davidkrzic]

hey VICIOSE do you play TEAM FORTRESS 2? IF you do plese tell me becuse I play it and I need some friends for my steam acount too.

[MrBubbahut]

Yet again a clear and complete run with commentary, excellent work. :3 keep it coming.

[0demon0]

I would love to know your ranged stat on the monk as that seams like a very relevant point to the strategy

[RoteXoR]

Thanks a lot, nice build :)

[McDoYou]

love your vids but one thing i would like to see is some kind of stat show off in order to decide wether or not im ready for this :D

[darkpython2008]

thank you for the video but how long is the evet on for as only have huntress and squire at lvl 70 the others are lvl 30 ish

[ViciousXUSMC]

@darkpython2008 Event is here to stay as far as I know.

Should not need max lvl 70 char to do this, just mid lvl with proper build.

[darkpython2008]

@ViciousXUSMC thanks for the info keep making the vids! btw as you probs already know this you cant solo glittering caverns on hard with just a squire anymore or if there is a way can u do a new video?

[SoloAsian22]

@ViciousXUSMC So I could do this with a lvl70 tower squire, lvl64 DPS huntress, lvl36 aura monk, and lvl31 tower apprentice?

[SoloAsian22]

@ViciousXUSMC Thanks, I wasn't able to do it with 70Squire 70Huntress 30Monk 30App, but after getting the App and Monk to levels 45-55 I can do it. Maybe because I gave my Monk 170 Aura dmg. Much easier with 707 dmg ticks.

[mrfanboy1997]

I was thinking about buying this game? would you reccomend it? :D

[ViciousXUSMC]

@mrfanboy1997 Yep I love this game.

[OnlyHamAndCheese]

Thanks this helped so much :)

[Patteh01]

The Ramparts Solo Tut Soon? :D

[nmc400]

does hard drop the van wolfenstein gun?

[artderue62]

@nmc400 yes
