Demo Man is Challenge #9. You start off with Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus, Collectible Remote Detonator iconRemote Detonator, and the Match StickMatch Stick trinket. Your goal is to defeat Mom's Heart or It Lives. This Challenge is available once you unlock Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus.

Difficulty

Your only weapons are bombs, which can harm you if you're too close. The Collectible Remote Detonator iconRemote Detonator works on the Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus bombs that replace your tears, but does not prevent them from exploding after their fuse runs out.
The Match StickMatch Stick trinket causes more bomb drops than other drops, such as Hearts or Chests. Since you have virtually unlimited bombs, this can be a hindrance.

Strategy

  • Since you have Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus, you have a virtually infinite supply of bombs. Anything you would normally use bombs for can be done with your attack.
  • While Collectible Remote Detonator iconRemote Detonator does not prevent your Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus bombs from detonating, it will still cause them to explode.
  • Shot Speed will cause the Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus bombs to launch faster and farther.
  • Flying can help you avoid the damage from Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus bombs when in tight quarters. This can make Collectible Lord of the Pit iconLord of the Pit or Collectible Spirit of the Night iconSpirit of the Night more valuable.
  • The infinite bombs can allow you to test every wall for Secret Rooms and Super Secret Rooms. They also allow you to escape rooms without clearing them by blowing open the doors.

Regular Bombs

  • The Match StickMatch Stick trinket causes more bomb drops than other drops. Since regular bombs are more powerful than the Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus bombs, this can be a boon. Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus bombs can blast obstacles and walls, so you can save your bombs for combat.
  • Combined with the Collectible Remote Detonator iconRemote Detonator, you have more control over regular bombs and can lay traps with them. This is especially useful during boss fights with invincibility periods, such as Mom's Heart and Pin, as multiple bombs can be laid near the boss's spawning point and detonated all at once.
  • If you misplace a normal bomb, you can move them by walking into them. Normal bombs will not explode until you use the Collectible Remote Detonator iconRemote Detonator, so you can adjust the position.
  • It is possible to drop the Match StickMatch Stick by using Ctrl(PC), R2(PS4), or ZR(3DS, Switch).

Trivia

This challenge is a reference to Team Fortress 2's 4th class, the Demoman. The Demoman uses various bombs as his choice of weapons, similarly to how this challenge is played.
