This is not a guide for the highest score. It's a guide for high scores while minimizing rerolls, so it may not be meaningful if you're aiming for high scores of 9000 points or more.

Now let's start the guide

I have attached the conclusion to item 2 below, so if you want a short article, you can just look at that part.

1. Basic route introduction and operation method

There are 2 routes in my guide.

9 route and 8 route.

If you step on as many platforms as possible in Azmos Canyon, you will get 9 routes, and if you skip one platform for some reason, you will get 8 routes.

There are 3 types of platforms to skip at this time.

---------1-1. Purple platform regardless of type

If you have over 500 million, you don't need to see this guide, and if you have less than 500 million, there's no reason to go here.

Players who can catch the purple room go in when the last purple boss appears and see a high clear score. You should never go in except for this one case.

What about the dimensional portal? At this point, there is only one purple dimensional portal, and the effect of that space is to weaken the purple boss room. But if you choose to hand over the item, you're wasting a space, and if you fight, it's worth 500 million, right?

Therefore, do not step on the purple platform.----------

My thoughts on the purple dimensional portal have changed quite a bit. The purple dimensional portal boss feels the same as or slightly weaker than the 300 million bangbang boss, and hunting is not much different from gold hunting. Therefore, I think it is a worthwhile option to reroll if they are attached to both sides in the early stages for a high clear score.

If the 300 million boss doesn't clear in 1-2 seconds, it's better to enter the purple dimensional portal.

If the first room is hunting, it is also easy to get a high score by rerolling purple hunting.

It's not that you can't see it if it's the first boss room, but you have to turn the extreme deal...

The probability of a hunting room appearing is about 10% in my experience.

The purple boss room is on a different level. If you don't weaken it, a mid-70,000 character needs to do more than 2 extreme deals to get past it. Therefore, we maintain that you should not enter the purple boss room unless you are a player who can catch it in the later stages.

1-2. Mini-game platform

You can do it if you know how, but I will never do it. The difficulty is high and as someone familiar with Isaac, the control keys are the opposite, so my brain freezes very badly.

1-3. Boss without extreme deal

Basically, you shouldn't do consecutive boss battles, but there are cases where you do.

If I judge that I can break the boss with one extreme deal, I clear it while keeping the following conditions to inflate the final score, or in case of gambling for healing items.

Do not step on it except in this case.

(Additional)

In the case of consecutive boss battles, usually white-gold or gold-white

You will step on it like this

1. White-Gold

After clearing the white in 30 seconds, if you have a job with remaining extreme deal, enter immediately and deal damage, then aim to clear within 300 seconds with normal deal + next extreme deal

If you don't have any remaining extreme deal, wait as long as possible to cool down before entering

2. Gold-White

Use origin extreme deal and normal deal in gold, and even use one more extreme deal if necessary. If you have 100 million in the early to mid-range, you will lay down the health to catch the boss with about 100 seconds left after the origin extreme deal (if this doesn't work, you don't have enough deal). You have to stall as much as possible and enter the white room after turning the 5th extreme deal.

Of course, you have to do it while keeping the following conditions, so if a cat comes out in the gold room, the score will plummet.

Also, if you can't push the white room with only the 5th, don't do consecutive boss battles.

Don't try 3 consecutive battles like gold white gold boss unless it's a special case like temporary protection scroll or 100 resistance and the remaining three boss rooms. Your mentality will break.

Now that we know which platforms to skip, let's start planning the route in earnest.

This is the 9 route play I planned this week. To get over 9000 points... you need specs or black stones after all.

White purple, battle, battle, battle, white purple, yellow purple, dimensional portal, battle, battle

To get 9 routes, you have to take a risk at least once, but you can get better rewards than 8 routes. (If you don't like retries, go to 8 routes)

In my case, I gambled on consecutive boss battles.

Assuming that you have enough deal items, 5 minutes is enough time for a character in the early 100 million range to catch a yellow boss. I think it's not a bad choice to gamble with 50 resistance while keeping the following conditions.

If a cat comes out and you still don't know how to keep the following conditions, you lose 500 more points, so it tastes much worse.

Conditions by boss:

Cat: Fire debuff time proportional (even if you get hit by a pattern, invincibility is meaningless, and it's attached to all patterns. The gauge that appears on the right. This seems to be the key, but I don't know if you have to manage it so that the gauge doesn't overflow while cutting the deal. I don't know if it fills up no matter what... I still don't get it)

Stone: Just hit it.

Knight: Achieve the condition as long as you don't get hit by a pattern similar to Zakum 3 phase hitting pattern

1000+a -50 resistance, + random reward

If a recovery item comes out as a reward here, you can get a high score.

Another advantage of the 9 route is that you can aim for complete recovery through the dimensional portal. In the case of the 8 route, if you eat the dimensional portal as recovery, it becomes practically 7 routes, so it is not recommended because the score is lowered.

In the previous 8 route, I played the same as the 9 route except for the consecutive boss battle gamble, and obtained about 7100 points.

I think 80 is the minimum resistance, and you should fill it whenever you can after stage 4.

2. Item Selection Guide

Stage 1 and Reroll Tips

When rerolling, it is recommended to do it without turning on Noble as much as possible.

Let's decide whether to turn on Noble after seeing the first item with only doping without Noble.

-Backpack Series

-Black Alchemist's Stone

-Epic Amulet

It is best to eat one of these and start.

In particular, if you eat the Black Alchemist's Stone in the first round when you don't want to step on the dimensional portal in the later stages, it's worth eating because it's a 1500 point + item. (Need to test whether it applies when you choose battle in the dimensional portal)

Just the alchemy stone is a +600 item, and it's a loss to skip the deal item just to eat that.

In the case of rare amulets, the deal increase is small compared to the penalty, so it is not recommended.

If you haven't eaten any of these items, it's good for your mental health to reroll.

(As an aside, if a job with Deben and Letuda eats an epic or rare amulet and plays, the difficulty increases extremely.)

Items to eat depending on the situation

-Rare Dark Alchemist's Secretary (bad)

-Temporary Protection Scroll

-Amulet of Resistance

If it's before the boss battle, it's a goat consumable item. Especially if it's a combination of this + origin extreme deal + deal item collection for the yellow boss, you can aim to clear with full conditions.

All other dimensional portals are premised on going to battle. Don't even pick up items.

(The item is not helpful in terms of points, or the performance is insufficient.)

The 20 resistance recovery option that often appears in the 2nd choice is a loss because it probabilistically receives an item and has no points, and has the effect of eating an entrance fee of -20~30 from the previous resistance.

You can choose items to this extent.

The weaker you are, the more you should focus on deal items to prevent resistance loss and go to many stages.

What if I pick up point items from the beginning and it doesn't work? I have nothing to say.

Bonus-

Easter egg estimated item

Most of the special condition exchange items are items with abilities or consumables. Except for exactly 2 items
