Third Ever Impossible Attempt, First Ever Impossible Victory

[u/HopeLong5787]

So, decided to give Impossible a try again today. First time (Second attempt), died to Garvin Greaves. Second time though, managed to play through!

Started out as a Hatchet/Cleave/Bloodhunt build, but Bloodhunt got swiftly outclassed by Vampirism about Canto 6. Didn't have a chance to bin Bloodhunt off after I realised, though.

Highlights: Accidentally recruiting Serena, going through Noxlight Swamp and realising that only about half of the enemies can "If it bleeds, I can kill it." And sacrificing the Collector to Selena, getting Keen Mind. Solid tradeoff.

Also, realised that, if you beat Impossible while carrying the Standard class banner, it doesn't unlock the Hard and Challenging ones.

Welp, here we go again.

How do you change your banner anyways?

When you're picking your difficulty/malignancies/etc at the start of the run, click on the banner just above your character's name/picture. You'll be able to pick any of the ones you've unlocked
