Five of the twelve talents are all-or-nothing

Four shapes of talent live in this dungeon, and only one of them forgives a mistake.Threshold talents want a count — four blades, four flowers, two notes — and you can keep trying inside the same run. Timed talents want a race. But five want perfection from the whole party, and the moment any one player slips, that talent is gone for the run and every second spent protecting it afterwards is wasted.Three of those five are on Snowplum Requiem, which puts a number on what this video says in passing — that Snowplum is far more punishing than Zheng E. Know which talents are already dead, and stop paying for them.

Snowplum is the half that punishes youThis video says it in passing and moves on; the talent shapes put a number on it. Three of the five all-or-nothing talents are his, both of his shielded phases are party-wide checks, and a single fluffed guqin note wipes the run rather than merely losing a talent. If you are rationing attention, ration it towards him. B derived

No screenshots, no server, no patchBoth guides are narration only. Talent wording here is the creators’ paraphrase rather than the game’s text, neither states which region or build they were playing, and neither is dated against a patch. Where the two paraphrase a requirement differently, this guide shows both rather than choosing.
