How ???

Do you need a special skill to pass the fireballs, or am I missing the obvious solution ?

You have an ability, but since you've already triggered it, this one is lost to you.

There are numerous skills or relics that make this work:

Samurai - shadow slash past them
Barbarian - Shout them down
Assassin - go into shadows
Dragon Lancers - use big shields
Duelist - Combat roll
Astromancer - comet form
Bard - Crescendo
Valkyrie - Deflect
Boxer - Knockout punch

Spells:
Windwall - blocks them entirely
Freeze strike - destroys projectiles
Shield of Thorns - blocks them entirely

Shockwave - destroys projectiles

Relics:
Vanguard's Banner (?) - Dashes project a field that destroys medium projectiles
Cloak of Eventide - can stand still and they go past
Coeus's shell - one free hit if it's charged
Lotus Stem - takes a few attacks
Marble statue - destroys projectiles around you when you land

Does the pan work on these flames?

Wait, you can knockout the fireballs ?

Huh, thank you

Yep, you get one shot with that skill, so it's knockout as close to the fireball launcher as possible, then dash + jump to get out of the way, A lot of the other class talents are easier to use here.

Many thanks. It's cool to start a game where everything is already available if I need to.

The pirate's ship will also block them iirc

u/SpaceProspector_ 14d ago

I've been playing a lot the last few weeks, had to look up some names though.

It is possible without a skill, but the timing is really tight. It might also require some skills you do not have, given how early you are in the game

Well in the screenshot your Coeus Shell relic is charged so you can just tank a hit and run through.

Go find a skeleton key!

You can use one but if you have haste unlocked (rune), you can realistically get in the room, activate it, and dash to the end before it even fires.

For you, I guess it’s a bit late because you pulled the lever before this but you could have gone and hit something a few times to prep your KO punch then used that to destroy the fireballs as you run through if you can’t make the timing to do it between cycles.

I've done this before without even using Chef or anything to knock the fireballs by just jumping in the moment the fireballs pass and dash & jump spamming to do it as fast as possible while retaining as much height as possible

Most talents have some method of passing or destroying projectiles. If you have one that doesn't, a few spells also can. Don't think there's a platforming way to do it tho.
