Pool! is a challenge added into Wave 4 of the Epiphany mod. The player character is Tarnished Cain, who starts with a bagged The Ludovico Technique and must defeat The Lamb. Completing the challenge unlocks Tasty Penny.

Difficulty

The player starts with two Ludovico bags, these being the only way to hurt enemies - every other bag will instantly drop if thrown and can't damage enemies, but they can be used to fling the Ludo bags around like in a billiards game.

Strategy

The player should try and make as many bags as possible, as although they cannot damage enemies, they can be used to keep the Ludovico bag bouncing without having to use Throwing Bag or going to grab them as often. Keep in mind that the Ludovico bags do not have to be moving to damage enemies: they can even be standing still in the air and any enemies that walk into it take damage, making it useful as "enemy traps". Note that the Ludovico bags are the only ones able to damage enemies even while spinning, but the other bags can steal knockback enemies, useful in case the player is surrounded. Birthright isn't recommended for this challenge, as the general strategy is to have more bags, and not more powerful ones

Notes

• The Ludovico bags cannot be obtained using Throwing Bag in this challenge.
• Non-Ludovico bags can still detonate TNT, but they cannot put out fireplaces.

Trivia

• Pool, commonly referred to as Billiards, is a cue sport that involves knocking a ball into other balls on a billiard table in order to knock them into holes in a similar fashion to how Tarnished Cain must throw bags at the Ludovico Bag in order to efficiently damage enemies.
