What happens when you start hating m ...
So what happens when you start hating mushrooms but you really really wanna get on a high wave on an endless map.
The first solution is of course playing the sorccerer and using the polymorph ring... But my parrot objcted to more birds being taken advatage of - so NO CHICKEN FOR ME (at least in Orcs Must Die 2...).
Second solution would be using the void wall with spring traps... But I am not one to fulfill orcs' dream of flight. Besides that I wondered quite a bit on what happens to the orcs once they go through the void wall and decided they go back to their own world so basically I'm not getting rid of the problem to begin with.
Third solution? Well I have yet to start hating the portal trap so it was time to do just that.
Returning the orcs to their starting spawning location? Seriously? Isn't that.... Cheating? YES YES IT IS.
So I wanted to do it for a while...
Ever since I got to wave 130-140 in The Tower (reason I don't know for sure is because there was a power outage and it has been reset) I wanted to see how high can you go without any instant "big guys" killing trap.
The question whether they are invincible or not has been answered... The answer (which is close to 42 actually) is they are tougher than my patience which is tough enough for me.
I started afking at wave 66...
I was curious to see if I died at wave 71... YAY I did not.
An hour later and 10 waves more I still didn't die. I was bored and I wanted to celebrate with the proper way of trying impossible jumps. I put their names to the test! THEY FRIGGING WON. I died 4 times without even getting close.

After a good night sleep I woke up to wave 108. That's it? SERIOUSLY?You can do better my precious traps. I'll give you another day and you better deliver or I'll SELL YOUR SORRY SPIKES!!!!

A day has passed. HOORAY. The traps have listened. I came back to wave 131. I checked how much I can hurt the elementals with HEAD SHOTS.... and some more HEADSHOTS... After a few headshots I saw their lives move back a line. So to all those players who say that passed wave 80 you can do nothing you are wrong. Not only you are wrong I was so bored and I really wanted to make a slight change to the layout I mysteriously found a bug or a feature I'm not sure... (I don't know if it is known or not).
Now it didn't always worked and usually worked when there were traps (or at least they were on the tar). What did I do? I stunned them with the crossbow for around 30 seconds. 3 headshots (sometimes even 4) and a stun. Infinite mana and infinite stun. Those damn trolls didn't know what hit them. They looked all around the place like idiots and before they even moved again BAMN ANOTHER STUN. I was so proud of myself when suddenly they died :-(

So what's next? Fudge it - I'll go visit my parents for the weekend!
A whole weekend of traps killing all kind of things. That's gotta work right?
YEAH RIGHT.... wave 156 FTL!!!!!

Well since I got home at night I might as well keep it till the morning see how far it'll go...
10 hours for 2 waves? FUDGE YOU I'd rather kill myself...
Apparently you can't headshot yourself with the crossbow (which I thought would solve the problem for good)...
So I killed myself... by jumping all over the place blindly... and got resurrected... so I started jumping again... still resurrected..... WTF? I want to die!!!!!!! This game won't let me die in peace... or peices!!!

The nightmare was finally over after I let the armored ogre hit me. I smiled at it as his mace slowly came down upon me to deliver me my sweet sweet end.

Using portals is cheating!!!! I encourage their use wholeheartedly!
I wonder if this is the highest wave someone reached without mushrooms/polymorph.
Now worship me for too much free time!!!
30 second constant stun is not a glitch. The xbow is one way to do it. Or you can use vampire gauntlets that do it for free.
I see barricades. How did those survive? Do the sappers stop coming? I know that once the health multiplier gets high, there's no way you could kill them before they reached the barricades.
I know about the 30 seconds rule but I figured it didn't take into account no moving due to stun / freeze / stoned (literally this time).
Anyway - I stunned a mountain troll for over 2 mins outside the killbox and it still didn't die to the rule so it has exceptions I guess (which is why I thought it's a glitch).
About the barricades - No sappers after wave 100 (and if I'm not mistaken after wave 70 or 80 as well).
I rebuild 3 barricades twice but I think it was more of a barricade bug than sappers (the first time could have been due to sappers really, second noway).
There were no barricades from wave 7 till wave 58 (or something around that wave) - there was tar instead of it.
If I remember correctly it was the same with "The Tower" with no sappers after wave 70 or 80 (well at least not kobold sappers... goblins perhaps yes).
And Nananea - Thanks :-)
(This isn't just an internet smile I also smiled in real life).
It has to be permanently stuck in place. If it takes a single step or moves in any way the timer on the stun lock will reset.
Yes the troll mountain was stuck in 1 place for 2 mins...
There were other incidents were I'm 99% sure they were stuck in one place without moving for over a min.
10/10 would read again.
Great post, great play, great patience! I also hate mushrooms at this point and think we need some change.
The standing still and dying is a feature btw :)
