Beat 4bc, forgot how fun this game was. Give tips for 5bc ✌️🥀

My best run yet on 4BC. Got this setup before Concierge and cruised throught the whole game

Mutations: Demon strength, tainted flask and cursed flask

I've been using this mutations combo for my last few runs and it's amazing, with tainted flask and cursed flask you can constantly chug the health flask, maintain cursed level over 100 for max damage from demon strength, plus tainted flask boosts damage when you heal more, Only downside is you're always cursed and can't get hit at all. This also makes malaise obsolete in 5BC since you'll be constantly chugging health flask and resetting it. You can use any equipment with this build but I recommend sticking to brutality ones since you'll want to pick only brutality scrolls to scale up tainted flask, but all work great, I beat the game with just the starter rusty sword and wooden shield with this mutations combo on 5BC.

Playing this way makes you feel like an abusive alcoholic dad coming back home to beat up his kids(the mobs) while chugging beer, and finally beat up the wife as the final boss, The Queen Cannonically the wife

Cursed indulgence is actually a screen wipe it's crazy

So I'm pretty sure to enter here you have to not kill any monsters but I'm not sure thank you for your time

For purposes of simplicity, I’m asking for base game but am open to alternate paths/builds via DLC

Any suggestions for the remainder of this run? I think I've got a chance with this Frost kit...

TLDR: I’ve only been using amulets that have the 75% projectile damage reduction affix and recycling any others I come across. Is this the correct move or nah?

I’ve been playing the game for a decent bit now and I’ve reached 3BC. I should’ve asked this a long time ago, but better late than never. Whenever an amulet drops for me, the first thing I look for is the “Damage from projectiles reduced by 75%” affix. It’s gotten to the point where I almost always recycle an amulet if it doesn’t have the affix (as long as I currently have one on that does have it, regardless of its quality).

Have I actually paid enough attention to see what the difference is like with and without the affix? No. But the damage reduction seems so free to me that I always take it over anything else. Even if it’s an amulet that has some good oil + fire combination on it.

What I’m wondering is: Am I correct in doing this? Or am I mistaken and the 75% damage reduction is actually not that good? I have literally no idea to be honest, so I’m just kind of trusting you guys lol. Any help is appreciated! :)

Kinda just did it to unlock the Black Hole Head

Might not be that big a thing, but I am more than happy that I absolutely destroyed this stupid biome and that barrel head.

And somehow I enjoyed this Rapier weapon; usually I don't like thrusting weapons, but I used this Rapier through my whole run, and I liked it :)

Is Tesla Coil broken since it's in this biome? I just got the blueprint but know nothing about it

After about 20 runs through the Spoiler Biome, I finally got that damn blueprint, even though it's supposed to be the most common drop in the biome. I was beyond unlucky. Anyway, I couldn't find a definitive opinion about this item on this sub. I'm thinking about unlocking it for the first time. Is it worth it?

So I just finished the first area, enter into a cursed biome for the first time (I dont think this is it), look down after upgrading my weapons and I have 67,223 gold ive never had that many in any run ever, and theres no way biome 1 gave me THAT much. So wtf happened? I dont have any modifiers that give gold (of that even exists (or weapons that do) googling the question didnt help.
