Introduction

 

I would like to start by saying that in BPM, the main winning strategy is skill. With any set of items, stats, guns, etc. my win rate is 9 out of 10 successful races (not counting the races on characters with 1 hp), and the latter is lost most often due to stupidity. Also, it is as foolish as possible to write obvious combinations of items like a minigun with infinite cartridges, because of their obviousness, as well as the randomness in the game. There is a chance that you simply will not meet certain items during the race. That is why, the most common advice before starting this guide is to get used to the rhythm, and in the process of dozens of races, learn the opponent’s movesets.

Table of contents:

For your convenience, there are table of contents on the right for quick access to the information you are interested in!

 

Characters:

 

Goll

• Has from the start zero stats and 100 hp.
• Armed with a pistol, ideal for clearing the ground floor. Good rhythm, easy reloading, mediocre shooting range.
• The first skill to open (RMB) is a fireball. Flies straight, without ballistics. The damage from the poke is small, but it imposes burning. In normal situations, useless, but on bosses and fat mobs, you can throw it as an additional debuff.
• The second skill (ult) is an explosive sphere, has a ballistic, which makes it difficult to use. Charging 1 room. Has a small area radius. The damage is decent, it can take out a fat mob (large spiders, large scorpions, etc.). But as an ult, it is sloppy due to the curve of the ballistics and the small radius of destruction.

Standard Persian for familiarization. There is nothing more to add.

Freyr

• Opens after passing Asgard
• Instead of health 150 shields.
• Armed with a revolver. Perhaps one of the best weapons of the first half of the game, and starting with it is a fairy tale.
• The problem of shields is solved in an elementary way. In a pumped store (more on this below), an increase in max hp is sold, and you can also quite often find a shield converter to hp. RMB is a shield that allows you to block a projectile when pressed in time (does not prevent damage when passing through a damaging field in treasures). With the proper skill, it is an imba skill, and if there is no such skill, it is ideal for abusing sacrificial altars. (there should be a GIF)
• Ult – gives 25 protection. Rechargeable 5 rooms. For me personally, a useless ult. For experienced players, an extra 25 shields mean nothing at all, and for beginners, a 5-room recharge is deadly.
• But apart from the ultimate – one of the best characters. Good cannon, imba skill. The problem with shields is not so critical, the pluses are more significant)

 

Hildr

• Opens after completing Svartalfheim
• Starts with 50 hp, 25 shields, 1 key and 5 points of speed.
• RMB – already familiar to us fireball.
• Ultimate – speed buff.
• Cannon is a shotgun pistol.

I don’t like the gun or the Persian. Although I know that many in the community love this gun.
The character seemed to me extremely mediocre and uninteresting. But due to the speed buff and the key, you can quickly loot the treasury and fly further.

Njord

• Opened after killing the final boss
• Starts with 50 hp and 7 coins.
• Armed with “Magic hands” that cannot be exchanged for other weapons. Initially they have damage, which feels like a standard pistol. Does not require recharging. It has an infinite range, but they shoot with projectiles, so at long distances you have to take into account ballistics. Funny gun.

 

 If someone ever needs it, I can create my own gun range with arguments 🙂

 

• RMB – the dream of all players on the last characters (personally, I have never met this skill for them) – it gives complete invulnerability from any one damage, then it is reset. CD is 10 kills. When switching to next lvl is reset if it was active.
• Ult – heals for 50 hp, CD 1 room. Comments are superfluous)))

A very strong character with the coolest skills and a funny gun. 50 hp is a small price to pay for such a robust setup.

Odr

• Opened after killing the final boss on hard
• The most important feature of the character is that he has 1 hp. You cannot raise it in any way, shields are not added either. The only way to get the ability to withstand 2 hits is either by art for rebirth (Lion Heart), or by finding pkm like the previous character (Valkyrie’s Veil).
• From the start has the ability to fly, 1 luck and a double-barreled shotgun. Good damage, convenient reloading, few cartridges, short range.
• RMB – teleport to the point of view.
• Ult – reduces the prices of goods in the store and the armory by half (except for guns). Can be used multiple times and bring prices to 0.

A character for mazahists or players who have stopped absorbing damage. Flying can solve most room problems, especially some bosses. Ult will allow you to quickly get hold of gear, and so avoid the situation when you are squeezed into a corner.

Skuld

• Opens after killing 2000 enemies
• From the start has 150 hp, but they are spent at 1 hp in half a bit. At the same time, any hit will restore you 5 hp. Shotguns shoot pellets, so they will recover approximately 20-25 hp per shot. Also, 50 hp is restored when you move to a new level.
• The presence of any amount of the shield will prevent death after losing the last HP. Either a bug or a feature (07/02/2021 still not fixed)
• Armed with a 3-shot rifle, with a half-bit reload. Shots are also fired every half a beat. Has a very long distance.
• RMB – a curse that inflicts periodic damage on the target, you can stack on one or more enemies. With a constant stack on the boss, it only flies off.
• Ult – will spawn any random chest, except for a casket and a chest with a fly. CD 16 kills. The likelihood of a tighter chest is increased by the ability stat. But here is actually a controversial point. Because with full pumping, he always gives out chests that require keys. If you don’t have them, this skill will absolutely not help you. Unlike stable “bad” chests, which will drop a couple of coins or a key.

This character is my favorite. Its HP mechanic makes the game feel fresh. You no longer have time to think – you must clearly know what you need. Its slogan is Grab and Run! coupled with a very good (also one of the favorite) barrel and skills
(the curse was also my favorite skill long before this Persian) Creates a confident impression. A new experience is provided.

Geri

• Opens if there are 100 coins in the bank
• It should be noted that if there are less than 100 coins left in the bank, the character will be closed again.
• Has 25 hp, 3 coins and a standard pistol. He is shorter than the other characters, but this does not affect the height of the jump.
• By playing this character, you are guaranteed to get a bank on every floor, except for the last two.
• RMB – you spend 1 coin and launch it at enemies. Deals very high damage. For example, with one coin I took off the champion version of the first boss
• quarter hp.
• Ult, wherever you are, transfers a coin from the bank to your pocket.

I don’t play this character. Although someone might like it. Having an ultimate for money rain (or large reserves in the bank), you can safely build through coins, causing great damage.

Herfjötur

• Opens after placing 100 coins in the bowl at the end of the game, in front of the boss
• Starts with 3 coins.
• Uses coins instead of HP and shields.
• Taking damage will make you lose half of your coins (if they are odd, then they are rounded down), no matter what the damage was.
• If you buy something and your money is 0, you will die.
• When you use the sword of Damocles for a bag of coins, you will first receive these coins, and then take damage and lose half of your new supply. So forget about the money on the sacrificial altars.
• Lion Heart does not work for this character – it will say that you died from a lack of coins. All items and abilities for healing also do not work, since there are no lives as such.
• The character uses a bolt-action rifle, which must be twitched every half-bit. As a result, the shot will be fired once a bit. Good rifle, good damage, long range, it can be awkward to “juggle”.
• RMB is a fast, instant project that does a decent amount of damage.
• Ult – converts all pickup items in the area into coins. Also, all the clothes in the store. Which allows you to take a bunch of coins for free for free.

A funny character, a good gun, a good RMB and a suitable ultimate for the character. You always think before you buy something. After all, your money is life. And vice versa. You always have a choice.

Rún

• Opens after spending 1000 coins in the armory
• Each time the character starts with a random gun, a random amount of hp, shields, money, keys.
• Has a random RMB and ult.

You can roll imba from the start. In principle, there is nothing more to say about this character.

Sanngriðr

• Opens after completing the game on Odr
• The character, like Odr, has 1 hp, but she lacks flight, RMB, ult, as well as starting buns or characteristics.
• Armed with a conventional pistol.
• Plus, to get the opportunity to get to the boss, you need to clear all rooms with opponents, except arenas.

Controversial character. The bottom line is clear – the character is made for hardcore and challenge, but in my subjective opinion, he has no balance. I believe that it should be not only difficult, but also interesting to play as a character. But no matter how you look, he is absolutely dishonest. Unlike Odr.

 I still can't close Helish for this character. (03.07.2021)

 

Statues, chests and other activated interior items

 

Chests

After clearing each room, you are rewarded with one of these random chests (from most frequent to rare):

Plain Chest

You get this chest if you pass a room with a rhythm error or taking damage (the rhythm streak is also reset)

Awards:

• 1 coin
• Money bag (3 to 5 coins)
• Key
• Lesser Potion of Healing

Flawless Chest

Awards:

• 1 coin
• Money bag (3 to 5 coins)
• Key
• Lesser Potion of Healing

Wide Chest

Awards:
x1-4 one of the following

• 1 coin
• Money bag (3 to 5 coins)
• Key
• Lesser Potion of Healing

Or:

Lucky Dice (increases luck by 4)

• Increase random stat
• Very low chance Equipment item

Golden Chest

Awards:

• Shields
• Item of equipment
• Random stat
• Increase max. hp

Lucky Dice

Shield Converter (converts all shields to constant hp)

• Skeleton key (essentially endless keys, drops most often from the Devil statue with a fairly high chance)

Weapon Chest

As a reward, you get a random weapon. If you get this chest for the second time for a race, instead of a cannon, there will be an additional cartridge in the clip. Also, this chest appears with a 100% chance when the level modifier Castle Asgard I (about the level modifiers later in the manual) in the room with the tower.

Altars, statues and the like

One of the following appears in almost every room: 3 cursed chests, a Statue-Altar to increase one of the stat, a statue with a donation of an indefinite number of keys / coins, and an altar with a sacrifice hp. If you see any of this, you can no longer look for the statue in this room.

Statues with an undefined donation of keys / coins

Devil Statue
Angel statue

Angel and Devil Statue: You donate 1 to 6 coins (Angel) or keys (Devil) to receive one of the following (in order from most common to rare):

• Random stat
• Random item of equipment
• Random ability
• Random Ultimate
• Random weapon
• Skeleton key (essentially endless keys, drops most often from the Devil statue with a fairly high chance)

3 cursed chests.

3 locked chests, two of which contain a mob-fly, and one of which contains a reward (in order from most frequent to rare):

• Money bag (3 to 5 coins)
• Shields
• Major health potion (these three have the same probability)
• Random stat
• Item of equipment
• Ability
• Ultimate ability

Most often, any garbage falls out – I do not advise spending keys on this, because with a high probability you will spend 2-3 keys.

Altar with a sacrifice hp (Damocles sword)

You spend 25 HP to get one of the following:

• Bag with money
• Increase max. xn
• Key

You see what you are giving hp for.
Damage can be avoided with some abilities: shield, Valkyrie’s Veil
Statues-altars that increase stats.
Each statue has its own statue. You donate one coin to one statue and increase your stat by 1 unit. It’s simple.

Secrets

There are also secrets in some rooms. They are usually led by some kind of jump puzzle. They contain either one of the statues (most often an Angel or Devil) or a secret chest,
in which the chance of finding a gun or piece of equipment is increased.

If you see a place for a secret, where there used to be a kind of rise, but now there is no – you can not try to get there, it makes no sense. No approach, no reward. But this is not always the case. There are some places that you can’t just go to on purpose. There is always a secret chest. To get to such secrets, you need to find a flight / triple jump / high jump or a cannon on which you can rocket jump.

Stats

Stats are the path to success. Above, I have already disassembled statues for pumping stats – this is not the only, but the cheapest and most reliable way of pumping.

Abilities. There are various abilities in the game, and this stat enhances them. For example, money rain will give you more coins. The situational stat depends on what you plan to play with, what you got in the beginning, and so on. Rating 7/10

Crits. In this game, crits work differently than we used to. A critical hit is a shot at an enemy’s vulnerable point. In most humanoid monsters, the head is a vulnerable point. Others may have legs, butt, back, etc. For example, such a point in a spider is its glowing backside.

Increasing the stat increases the damage to these vulnerable points. So, I think this stat is extremely useless and I advise you not to spend money on it if there is a deficit in it. Because, even though at first it seems that we essentially have a donovodka within a rhombus – crit is counted only when the point in the middle of the sight is aimed at the vulnerable point of the enemy. Keeping track of the rhythm, projektails, and even aiming somewhere by a small dot is not a good idea. You can try at any convenient moment, for example, at first, giant spiders very cheerfully fall off with 1-2 hits in the crit zone. But stat doesn’t boost the game practically in any way. Rating 1/10

Damage It’s simple. Damage increases damage. I advise you to take it as soon as you see this statue. I throw a coin into it at once in 8 out of 10 cases. 9th case – the stat is already maxed out for full. The 10th case is about the beginning of the game, the lvl is cleared, there is nowhere to take money, I have not yet looked at the store or the armory on this lock (about them later in the manual) and my balance is a multiple of the cost of an item of equipment in the store (7 coins) or a cannon in the armory, subject to the cindergun in my hands (5, 15 and 30 coins). Rating 10/10

Luck. Increasing this stat increases loot from mobs, increases the quality of loot from chests and statues. Just a useful stat, nothing too interesting. You can safely throw a coin, but do not count on mountains of gold. Rating 8/10

Range. An extremely useful stat, since in this game most weapons have a limited range of fire. Literally from the first seconds of the game, you understand this, aiming at the mob and seeing the inscription “ too far “. Again, a situational but extremely useful stat on most guns. Shotgun? We take a stat. Long range rifle? Not necessary. There is also an item that makes an infinite distance. In any case, I consider it the second most useful stat after damage. Rating 9/10

Speed. Again, everything is very simple. Speed increases movement speed. It can be ignored at first, but at least a little should be pumped into the second half of the race. A small bullethell begins and it is needed there. There are many items that boost speed, but also, there are many items that are much better and more useful than these items in these slots. So everything is situational. Rating 5/10

Rooms (under development)

Besides the usual monster rooms, there are other special rooms as well. (for the symbols on the minimap, see the screenshots in the upper left corner)

Huginn’s shop

It is indicated by a flag icon on the minimap. Equipment, healers and stats are on sale. In one version of the room there is a secret. Guaranteed to appear on every floor (excluding situations with a level modifier – Shopless

The shop initially contains 2 pedestals, but can be upgraded to 7. Spending coins increases loyalty and unlocks more pedestals. Has the following positions:

The first two positions open by default:

• Minor Potion of Healing for 2 Coins
• Major Potion of Healing for 4 Coins

At the next level of pumping the store is added:

• Increase max. hp for 4 coins
• Shield for 4 coins
• Key for 4 coins

At the next level of pumping the store is added:

• Random item of equipment for 7 coins
• Random stat for 7 coins
• Increase max. hp for 7 coins
• Lucky Dice for 7 coins
• Shield Converter for 7 coins
• Skeleton key for 7 coins

At the next level of pumping the store is added:

• Free Lesser Healing Potion

or

• Free Greater Healing Potion

Shop’s secret

Muninn’s armory

Weapons are sold in the armory. For 5, 15 and 30 coins. Although they have some sort of rarity (there are 3 of them in total, for 5 coins only the first shooting range, for 15 coins there can be both the first and the second, and for 30 any of the three shooting ranges randomly) – often the rarest does not mean effective …
Initially, only 1 cannon is available. To open the rest of the jokes, you need to spend the following amounts in the armory:

• Second cannon 10 coins
• Additional cartridge for the magazine 50 coins
• Third cannon 100 coins
• Increased damage 250 coins
• Table with an Additional cartridge in the store or increased damage 1000 coins

 

Bank

You can throw extra coins into the bank to use them in the future, in other races. But there is a limitation – you can donate only 10 coins at a time, although you can take as many as you like. Also, after you donate 100 or more coins, a secret wall will open in the bank every time you enter the bank, behind which there will be a chest.

Challenge room

In the center of this room there is a lever, pulling on which a fight with monsters will begin. After clearing the room, a low tier chest will appear. You can clear 2 more waves, naturally with increasing difficulty of the mobs. After the third wave, Challenge Chest

As a reward from it you can get:

• Random stat
• Item of equipment
• Ability
• Ultimate ability
• Skeleton key
• Weapons
• There is something else (to be added in the future)

Most often, these rooms are completely useless. Because the difficulty is not proportional to the rewards you receive. I advise you to avoid them. You can fly into them on 1 wave, if you do not have enough for something 1-2 coins, and the entire lvl is cleaned. Or, you have put together a good build and want to test yourself in action.

Treasure room

The treasury contains Golden Chest
Also behind the chest, with a certain chance, another chest appears – Pain Chest and a transparent wall that deals damage.

As a reward from it you can get:

• Random stat
• Item of equipment
• Ability
• Ultimate ability
• Weapons
• There is something else (to be added in the future)

 

Library

Contains an ability or ultimate ability. The item can be seen through the door window before opening, allowing players with a keen eye to try to identify it. A key is required to open.
I advise you not to ignore these rooms, because there are a lot of imbo abilities, and I advise you to spend the key on libraries if you choose between a gold chest.

Gambling room

After inserting a coin, a random result will occur:

• Nothing
• An enemy appears (Fly, skeleton magician, Soul, Mother of flies)
• Standard tier of low tier items

Roulette can jam at any time)))

Boss challenge room

The bottom line is the same as with the arena, but only once. You pull the lever – a miniboss appears. After winning, get Challenge Chest . As in the case of the arena, I do not advise going there. There are, of course, very easy bosses, but more often ♥♥♥♥ spawns. You are wasting your nerves. Although, again, if you have a cool build, go for it.

Reroll room

Inserting one coin spawns a random item that can be re-rolled up to 9 times. Stops accepting coins after the item has been taken or after 10 coins have been inserted.
Absolutely anything appears (possibly except for guns, but I’m not sure if you need to test), so you need to poke it a couple of times. Who can give up Double Damage for 2 coins?)

Prestige room

In this room, you pay 30 coins to keep the effects of all items of equipment, while removing them from the slots, which allows, in fact, to carry 8 items.

 (I haven't tested yet whether items are saved in the run pool. That is, if you put on double damage during a normal run, you won't find another one while you are wearing this one. So, it is not known if this works for sure also, as if it were worn on you. And if not, do the same Double damage stacks. And if they stack, then how? Increases the final one, i.e. x4? Or the default, i.e. x2 + x2? questions and few answers. I will test. I would be glad to have any information on this)

Quite a gimmick, but in the game, so far, there is no resistance to the player with eight items. (yes, in fact, there is no xD with four either) So we are waiting for an analogue of the alternative location of the second Asgard (Asgard crypts), some cellars of Helheim: D
By the way, about the crypts.

Asgard Crypts

It is a transition to an alternative location of the second Asgard. It sometimes appears on the first floor (according to my observations, it appears more often at higher difficulties)
Crypts are a pretty serious challenge, you should go there if you already have a good build on the first floor or your skill and initial weapon are quite high. If your strength (build or skill) allows you to go there – by all means go. There are 100% chance of spawning on this floor two very interesting rooms. Which we will talk about below.

Tribute room

An altar to which you can donate 50 coins. For each coin, a random stat will increase. Even if the stat is already maximum, it will try to increase it (the coin will be spent, but there will be no effect). Thus, having farmed the first floor and the crypts, you can gain almost all the stats to the maximum.

Well Room

Contains items of equipment of each of 4 types (head, armor, arms, legs) on pedestals. When you select one of them, the other 3 will drop into bottomless pits, and they cannot be picked up, even if the player gets to them quickly enough. The pits will inflict damage if the player jumps for objects. If I’m not mistaken, then every time you take an item of the same type, the next time in its place will be an item of a higher tier. For example, for shields, the maximum shooting range is double damage.

Black market

Indicated by an icon of a dagger pointed downwards. Contains three Damocles’ sword altars, each with one more dagger than the last. All three may be used. This room will replace Huginn’s shop.
A very controversial thing. The room is completely uninteresting. Developers could add unique items for this room, and make the damage itself permanent (that is, it would take away the maximum health). The room feels very rare, but zero sense. Although so many things could be invented for these needs.

Warp room (under development)

 

under development
