Act 3

Act 2
Act 4

  • Third town, blessed be. Damage starts getting pretty hard here, corruptors are brutal, scarabs get harder to kill, going to turn 2 gets more risky.

    The events in this act arent too bad, one requires a 9 to crit.

    At this point you should just be building for act 4, especially if you see a Death Duel, don’t pass it up, its good tech for final boss. The altar will give us a free upgrade, if you feel like planning for that, it’s guranteed.

    The rest of the act is not super noteworthy, some of the later hallway fights give us starting chill and that can fudge your speed numbers so take extra speed items where you feel like its correct. We want to feed a piece of Jewelry to a blob midway through the act, if you have an empty slot, grab something to give away somewhere along the way. Bonus points if you give the blob the tyrants necklace.

  • Best choice for this node is handing over the gold trophy. Technically you can critically succeed the 300g [Bargain] for the same xp if you enjoy torturing yourself. But the trophy has no uses past this point. Live your truth.

  • Corruptor Fight. Nothing special here, just don’t forget the scarab.

  • Take the Portal to the dreamzone. When we exit we will end up here. After that, we will do whirlpool node.

  • The reason this area needs a town eludes me. Just check the item shop before moving on.

  • This node can spawn a Scarab, however the combat must be completed on turn 1 to get the highest score. Taking the Scarab would be a loss. A full write up of this logic can be found here.

  • [Wake The Shepherd] Critical Failure for an extra fight. Check and Fight should both be easy enough.

  • This is just a normal fight. We can go back to getting Scarabs again.

  • Same as above node. Back to life as normal.

  • None of these choices give any XP, so just live your truth and pick whatever you want. [Rush] Is probably your best choice because it’s easiest to succeed.

    After the fight is done, [Destroy] the bridge for the most XP. You can also choose Magnus’ or Malukah’s button if you brought either of them, but they’re just the same. All other choices are less XP. I hope you didn’t want a dream sphere, because you’re not getting one.

    Fun fact, the boss spawns a scarab. It’s not a score gain on account of the thermometer, but now you know.

  • Extra score for hitting this node. Succeeding the minigame is not strictly necessary.

  • Welcome back, did you enjoy your Free Extra Score?

    [Ambush] The boss with a crit to get max XP. Its only a 10, you can do it.

  • Astoundingly, due to rounding errors, [Burn_Competition] Is the correct choice. It doesnt matter who gets it, aside from the fact that they get a lovely little burn. Free upgrades are good.

  • Its just a rift. Take the Amelia dialogue if you can, otherwise just [Combat] and go crazy. By now these should be a breeze. No Scarab.

  • This node is a little weird. If you’re not caught up on clamping math, just trust me.

    Technically speaking, the highest XP is [Enter] with everyone hitting 2 or more. However getting this is TORTUROUS. If you truly hate yourself, go ahead and spend however many hours it requires to get that.

    If you’re not full suceeding [Enter] you have two choices:
    1) Pick any of the Unique Character Interactions and reroll it until you succeed

    2) Chose [Enter] and just live with the results.

    In either case, whichever one you do is extremely unlikely to impact your final score (though not impossible) as long as you pick one of the three options outlined. If you’d like the full break down on this logic, hmu on the discord.

  • Back into corruptor fights! Don’t forget to scarab.

  • Similar to the blob in Red, anything except [Leave] is correct here. You don’t need to take the blob, just sacrifice some Jewelry to it. If you absolutely cannot lose any Jewelry, then you can rollback to Tyrant boss and grab something, itll probably be easier than Event Manipulating.

  • Corruptor. Don’t forget your scarab.

  • Corruptor. Don’t forget your Scarab.

  • Taking his deal will miss out on the fight, so we never do that.

    [Rest] is the best choice for XP. Critical will not give more XP, feel free to not bother critting.

    Zek’s UCI will not give more XP, even though it gives us the fight.

  • Last Scarab of the run lets GOOOO!

  • Crit Succeed [Rest] for most xp. The boss is pretty well and truly a pushover as long as you go first. Nothing like we used to have to do with hydra. Cold comps can struggle a bit on his high resistance, i recommend forcing some vuln down if you’re struggling here.
