It was the left hawk's fire magic attack. It usually only does like 7.5k, but with pink bean's magic buff recently made to work (when it grows a flower), it was able to kill me in one hit. In a serious run you'd probably want a paladin there ready to magic crash or a bishop to dispel. Barrel only works when there's nobody near it, and you'll notice some people hanging around it some of time. Nobody really knew what was going on with it because I didn't really bother to tell everyone as the run was only planned in a few days. And yeah about booster, I was too focused on trying to stay alive xP

We thought PB was supposed to cast things like his reverse genesis on platforms when platforms are there to cast it on (thus why ducking keeps you safe), however, he clearly ignores the platforms and casts exclusively on the ground at 3:11 on the 4th video. Any idea why?
The lasers are arranged in 800-pixel-wide clusters, and they only attach above the ground when the centers of the clusters are above the ground (so if there's a platform 400px to left of PB, the entire 800px span of lasers would be duckable, along with 1200px to the left, etc.).

Unfortunately, our buccaneer didn't have the hp to take touch damage and didn't know when to barrage with the correct timing. Ideally, you'll want a buccaneer with 24k+ hp standing to the right of PB and all ranged attackers on the left. Being the only attack to consistently and instantly KB pink bean without the pyramid glitch (and the only one I'm aware of that can KB with the 1 damage caused by damage reflect), barraging forces it to attack to the right. Whenever pink bean uses big bang, have the buccaneer just walk into it and touch it to prevent super knockback. Then barrage whenever it randomly starts walking left, as you can see sometimes happens in the video.
