Created page with "There are three major ways to make this game more friendly for a casual or no-reset run: Add wing boots, add ointment, and add red potions. = Add Wing Boots = Time-wise thes..."

New page

There are three major ways to make this game more friendly for a casual or no-reset run: Add wing boots, add ointment, and add red potions.

= Add Wing Boots =

Time-wise these are the least-costly steps to take.

* A casual runner probably won't do the pause glitch well or at all, so it becomes necessary to get extra boots to be able to complete the run. Get an extra pair at the Jo Key (your boots should run out around the time you get up to the ledge to get the first pair, without pausing). Then use that second pair you get to fly over the wyvern and up to the fountain.

* Likewise without pausing your wing boots used at King Grieve will run out before you even exit Castle of Fraternal. Get an extra pair at the Hospital in Mist. Use that second pair when the boots are about to run out.

* It's also possible that pair of boots will actually run out before the Evil One dies. Get a second extra pair (three total) at the Jo Key if you'd like to be able to use another pair of boots before the Evil One's screen, so that they never run out at the end.

= Add Ointment =

These are the next-costly steps to take.

* On the way to the Magical Rod and Battle Suit, there is an ointment spawn the record route passes. Stop and manufacture that spawn (just make sure to fix your spawn counter when you get the boots by the Magical Rod!)

* Two screens away from the evil one there is an ointment spawn that exists. If you let your ointment run out the screen before that, then the ointment will appear below the ladder. Use a pair of boots (the third optional pair in the previous section), get that ointment, and the final boss is easy.

= Add Red Potions =

Because unintentional deaths are so costly, effectively ending the run, red potions are a great safety strategy. Here are a few good ones to get:

* Spawn the Red Potion in the room where you use the Mattock. Just make sure to set the counter back to 1 after!

* Buy a Red Potion in Forepaw after dying.

* Buy a Red Potion in Conflate after dying.
