2. 🏆 Pact Selection Guide for Beginners: Fear Level 8 Strategy
- ✅ Pact of Time: A debuff that limits the clear time for each area.
- ✅ Clearing within 9 → 7 minutes is relatively easy, and if the time is exceeded, you will take 5 damage per second.
- ✅ It's good for practice, as you can clear within 5 minutes once you get the hang of it.
- ✅ Pact of Arrogance: A mana reduction debuff when selecting areas other than Boons.
- ✅ You can offset the debuff effect by increasing maximum mana or securing mana recovery methods.
- ✅ Pact of Shadows: An enemy that uses 'Names' appears in the mid-boss.
- ✅ Pact of Threat: Enemies from the next area appear in advance. If you know the enemy patterns, there is no big change.

3. ⚔️ Fear Level 16 Strategy: Utilizing Pacts of Threat, Film, and Pain
- ✅ Pact of Threat: Increase the difficulty by setting it up to 25%.
- ✅ Pact of Film: Grants specific attributes to enemies with armor.
- ✅ It is not a big threat if you have high firepower or can break armor quickly.
- ✅ Pact of Pain: Increases enemy attack power.
- ✅ Can be offset if there is an increase in movement speed.
- ✅ Compensate for shortcomings with Pact of Bone, Pact of Warding, and Pact of Swarm.
- ✅ In particular, we recommend strengthening revival or warding abilities.

4. 😈 Fear Level 20 & 24 Strategy: Applying Boss Enhancement and Enemy Type Pacts
- ✅ Release the Pact of Fur and apply Boss Enhancement and Enemy Type Pacts.
- ✅ It is recommended to apply up to 3 for the Underworld route and 2 for the Surface route.
- ✅ The final boss becomes very powerful, so it is best not to apply it to the maximum.
- ✅ Prometheus on the Surface route is especially strong, so apply only 2.

5. 🔥 Fear Level 32 Strategy: Maximizing Pacts of Film, This, and Time
- ✅ Set the Pact of Film to the maximum and set the Pacts of This and Time to the maximum.
- ✅ Release one of the Warding or Revival Pacts.
- ✅ On the Surface route, lower one Enemy Type Pact and add a Warding or Swarm Pact instead.
- ✅ If Prometheus is easy, apply the Enemy Type Pact in the same way as the Underworld.
- ✅ If you don't like the time limit, lower the Pact of Time and set the Coin Debt to the maximum instead.

6. 🤔 Detailed Analysis of Pacts to Consider Applying
- ✅ Pact of Pain: Apply up to 1. The difficulty increases as all enemy attacks become stronger.
- ✅ Pact of Greed: Apply up to 1. It becomes difficult to defeat enemies as their health increases.
- ✅ Pact of Warding: If you are guaranteed to get Demeter/Aphrodite Boons with the Sisters' continuous attacks or Mines, you can apply it to the maximum.
- ✅ Pact of Swarm: Apply up to 1. The number of enemies increases, which can lead to a shortage of time if there is a time limit.
- ✅ Pact of Revival: Enemies that revive with a 50% chance appear when defeating enemies. Be careful as it is easy to get caught in the time limit.
- ✅ Pact of War: HP recovery is reduced. Use it for adjustment when you don't want to apply other effects. Apply up to 2.
- ✅ Pact of Debt: Item prices increase. Avoid it if possible as it becomes difficult to use Charon's Shop or Hermes' Luxury Goods.
- ❌ Pact of Deprivation: The chance to acquire Boons in each area is reduced. Do not use it as it is easy to experience a lack of damage.
- ❌ Pact of Loss: Friction effect is reduced. Do not use it as friction enhancement is powerful.

7. 🎯 Tips & Closing for Setting Your Own Pacts
- ✅ If you are skilled, set Enemy Type to the maximum and lower Fur and Laundry to play.
- ✅ When you want to try various builds, select Rejection and often increase Film instead.
- ✅ Pacts are an end-game content element, but I hope it helps those who want to play deeper.
