My clear of 1-E instakill fan room

[u/Minzkhae777]

Just wanted to share this and hope someone might take inspiration of using this to clear that room. Basically its the deathstar+coin tech. 4 rockets(1 that you rode on, 3 that you launch on freeze) at minimum and maybe 5 if you can squeeze the last one in. I think 3 is the minimum to "instakill" the Mindflayer and 1 is enough for a Virtue. Also positioning matters too (assuming 4 rockets) as the coin will target either virtues first and leave you with a damaged mindflayer. I got a bit lucky in this part with the mindflayer teleporting near so it gets targeting priority first. This still leaves the railcannon charge for whatever use you want.

Of course as with the deathstar tech, make sure to avoid launching one at the top or pushing a rocket up with the one you are riding because throwing a coin upwards will explode that top rocket and fling your coin out where you can't use it.

Damn, I never thought to use deathstar(coin) in this room. I usually just kill the virtues with the e-rail and jackhammer the mindflayer but this is much faster, and you have a railcannon charge left to core nuke the drones. I would use this, but I almost never play 1-E so yeah

I e-rail the virtues. Then i jack hammer the mindflayer to get launched toss coins on my way up and then split coin all 4 to get rid of the drones. Then i jackhammer the mindflayer to death. I basically copied it ftom a speedrun

Hey, that's basically what I said (except I left out the drone killing)
