Last chance at a full shop. Do your deck pivots here. We have a lot of nodes to get through from here. But at least we aren’t scarab farming anymore.

Do not remove your last healing spell. We will need it right at the end, before the final boss.

Around midway through the court, we will need to drop 1200 gold on a node. If you find an item shop before then, consider how much gold you’re spending, and if you’ll make enough in time.

Additionally, consider picking up a copy of Death Duel for Count boss if you dont have the targetted damage.

BLESS we are out of scarab jail! Just an ordinary normal corruptor fight with no tricks. Just kill it.

Note: This node has to be a WHITE EVENT, If its green, then check your mod settings.

It’s tempting to want to do Nevermoor’s UCI here, but unfortunately for him, theres combats to be had.

The witches are worth more XP, so we pick the right side.

Once again, if you enjoy torturing yourself, pick the lock and get a crit. If youre sane, open the crypt with the key. Both are the same XP.
None of the UCI’s are correct.

Just a corruptor fight. No notes.

You’re over thinking it. You just enter. There are no other choices.

You’re over thinking it. Just attack the boss.

Funnily enough, [Forage] and [Healing Spell] Are both the same score as long as you succeed. Take your pick between taking the time to get a card remove, or just getting some shards and gold.

Ordinary Corruptor Fight. No notes.

Oh blessed Armour Pile, how much we love you.

We are past the clamp point, so you do not need to crit this node to get max score… However it’s still recommend to put the effort forwards to crit the node to get extra items out of this. If you get an obelisk scroll, or Netherblade, or Mana Loop, you will be pretty much guaranteed to win the run from here.

Minimum 10 for Crit, you can do it <3

This node is a little complicated.

Everything except [leave] gives the same XP. That is the wrongest choice and we never do that.

If you brought Navalea or Tulah, you can take the scrolls of intellect here. If you want to take the scrolls of defense instead you can, but I cannot fathom why you would want that.

If you did not bring Navalea or Tulah, then you will have to [Read] About the ancient ghost.

The reason for this will be discussed at court_9

Standard Corruptor fight. Not many left now.

If you brought Nevermoor or Velarion, then their UCI is correct.

If you brought Nez, then you [Buy]

Otherwise, you drop the 1200 gold for the potion.

In all of these cases, XP gain is the same, so the characters are not required to max score, however you will save yourself some gold.

Not 800, that will give you less XP.

This node has the same choices as the previous campsite. Either succeed the healing card check for a card remove, or scavenge for shards. You do not need to crit.

[Rest] does not give XP. [Combat] Move the Armour does not give XP.

If these are your only options, you will have to go back to court_4 and select [Read] About the ghost.

If you brought Navalea or Tulah, thier UCI’s are correct and are worth the same amount of XP as [Combat] Apply what you learnt in the archive.

Fun fact, this node is actually the first real choice you get to make. Both castle_1 and castle_2 are just normal ordinary corruptor combats and are worth the same score. Pick whichevers easiest (or hardest, I’m not here to judge you)

See: castle_1

If you brought Velarion along, you can use his UCI for max XP. If you didn’t, you will have to crit succeed to [Rebuild]. Both are the same XP.

Unfortunately for Yogger, [Use] Drink a whole bottle gives us a combat, and so is the correct choice here. Everything else at this node gives ‘not a combat’, so is not as good.

Last Corruptor fight of the run!

You remember that healing spell you left in your deck? You need it here. Succeed this last event and we are off to the boss.
