This guide will mostly be about the different items and stuff you can encounter, and what I have learned so far. There will be spoilers for the characters, weapons, tomes, items, and other sections since I am including pictures of them and what they do. Keep in mind what you unlock for Weapons/Tomes/Items you can only disable once you buy the Toggler (Requires 40 purchased unlocks) so make sure you need them or you'll always have them be able to show up in runs (Examples of this are the items Kevin and Leeching Crystal which can impact your run a lot) . I've also linked other guides, dev notes/patches, websites, and YouTubers for relevant information. * You'll see this symbol above each specific Interactables, Stats, Characters, Weapons, Tomes, Items, and Enemies used to unlock quests or required to unlock a character. These specific quests will also be shown in the Grouped up Unlocks section. Xp Gem Colors and What Amount they Combine At (Xp Gems base worth before Xp Gain Bonuses) Blue 1 At the start, your main goal is to focus on getting strong enough in your run to be able to get to the boss teleporter and beat the boss before the time limit reaches zero, you get final swarmed, and die very quickly (The final swarm has no end, you live till you die). You will also want to finish quests to unlock cool Characters, Weapons, Tomes, and Items. Selecting Tiers / Run Size The Tier you select when starting a run is how many Stages (Areas/Maps you teleport/portal between) you have in your run. Tier 1 is one area, Tier 2 you have 2 areas, and Tier 3 has 3 and Final Boss. Map Tier difficulty goes from 0.75x, 0.95x, 1.1x (According to megabonk_research [github.com] ). Picture example of UI for selecting Tier before starting a run. What Should You do First Check Unlocks/Quests (Once Unlocked) to see if you want to do any particular runs to get specific things unlocked. The main prep you do for beating the boss with your limited time is: Picking up Xp shards ( goes from (1) Blue/Purple, (10) Gold, and (50 and Up) Red shards when they combine ) to level up to acquire Weapons/Tomes on level up by defeating enemies/pots or magnets to pick them up for you (Can sometimes be good to avoid picking them up if you can increase their value with Xp Gain Stat Increases or find a Magnet to do it for you but they don't seem to despawn but wander over to other Xp to combine, Info thanks to Darker). Get Gold from enemies, pots, and difficulty shrines (Exact gold count from it varies) so you can get items from chests or shady guys to make your builds have some good stats and other bonuses. Increasing Difficulty through charge shrines, items, or difficulty shrines. You will need it increased to make more enemies spawn for more Xp and Gold, since enemy spawn count doesn't increase over time normally (Enemies do get harder as you progress though portals of long runs and Boss Hp does seem to scale but not on run time (Info thanks to Darker) might be scaled on difficulty or something else). If you don't increase it at all enemies might be easy to kill but won't spawn frequent enough to provide you the Gold/Xp to get you prepared and strong enough for the next area's harder enemies. Find a balance of difficulty to be with enemies killed in a few seconds without swarms wiping you out, so you can get the best kills per second for Xp/Gold. Acquiring Items/Stats through rare elite/enemy/boss drops, purchasable/free chests, shrines, and shady guys. Prepare yourself when Minibosses and Swarms spawn when you least expect them with enough movement to dodge them or enough Weapons, Projectiles, AOE, or Damage to take care of them. Making sure you have a balanced and/or survivable build to beat Bosses and fight Final Swarm long enough to prepare and get strong enough for the next Stage/Area (If you have the next Tier unlocked and selected) to unlock the next Tier or to get to and beat the Final Boss . What Spawns and When it Happens The first Mini Boss spawns at 7:00 for Stage 1 & 2, and 6:30 for Stage 3, with the 2nd one spawning at 2:00 for Stage 1 & 2, and 3:00 for Stage 3. Swarms happen at 6:00 Stage 1 & 2, 5:30 for Stage 3, 4:00 for Stage 3, 3:00 Stage 1 & 2, Final Swarm 0:00, Black Ghosts at -1:00, Purple at -6:00, and Red at -12:00. What Things to Look for Besides Interactables These 3 are worth looking for with Blue Skeletons dropping a guaranteed level up and Gold Skeletons dropping Gold. They will run away and despawn shortly after being hit. (Seems to spawn randomly, but difficulty might increase spawn chance. They do not spawn after Final Swarm starts.) The crown shows if an enemy is Elite they are stronger but drop better Xp and have a chance to drop free item chests (Free chests do NOT despawn and the exact chance is unknown for free chest drops from Elites. Might only be first Elite of a given type to have guaranteed type but unknown exactly, info thanks to dln385). Progressing Through Tiers/Teleporters Image example of what you can and can't encounter on each Tier you Select for a run. After beating the Stage Boss (All Xp at time of boss death will go to you like you picked up a magnet), the Teleporters only let you get to the next level if you have unlocked and are in that tier. For example, in Tier 1 , you can beat the Stage Boss at the teleporter but not teleport, then eventually die to final swarm. Playing in Tier 2 you do Tier 1's Stage with its Stage Boss then the teleporter lets you teleport to the next Stage that is visually different, from there you fight in this next area and beat its Stage Boss to unlock Tier 3, but you cannot teleport to the 3rd Stage/Final Boss in Tier 2. ( If you reach Rank 100 for a character it gets you a star on that character, info thanks to Darker/Argos) Playing in Tier 3 you go through Tier 1 & 2's Stages with Stage 2 teleporter now letting you go to Stage 3 once its Stage Boss killed through the teleporter, 3rd Stage is also visually different. When you activate the Stage 3 teleporter it doesn't spawn a boss it teleports to the boss arena and doesn't magnet the Xp to you so don't use the teleporter until you are confident in your level and strength with grinding the Final Swarm safely (Also make sure your Primary weapon is strong enough for the Boss) It will start the Boss Fight with 10 minutes on the clock. If you don't manage to find the teleporter in the time limit endless waves of enemies will begin to spawn, the longer you last the faster, stronger, and more of them will spawn while you get a bonus to silver gain. This can be good for some extra Xp gain before going to the next area as long as you are sure you can survive them long enough and won't get thrown around from the teleporter. Each Tier's Stage is 1 minute less then the last going from 10, 9, and 8 minutes. If a run is going well you might want to trigger teleporter around 2:15-1:20 mark around the time you are fighting or after fighting the miniboss. If your run isn't going well then just make sure to use shrines/chests before you trigger the boss and fight them while killing enemies for Xp, just keep in mind once the Stage Boss dies you lose your remaining time before final swarm and get a 10 second head start before Final Swarm starts. If you beat the Boss after the timer hits 0 (some challenges will just kill you at 0 like the speedrun challenges) you don't get the 10 second grace period but as long as you kill the Boss Xp still goes to you like you triggered Succ Shrine/Magnet. Finding the Teleporter It may be hard to find sometimes with how large the map is or how easily the terrain in the forest can block the view of it. There are some tricks to make it more easy to find. About roughly half the size diameter your minimap shows, the teleporter also has a ring of some swirling red winds , and a bit above and below the teleporter too. These red swirling winds can be small and disappear as quickly as they appear, so they can be easy to miss sometimes
