What Character To Choose?

Glutton For Punishment - Quick Guide image 25

You only have really two options: Fuji or Boss. Everyone else while doable is just not worth the effort.

It is also recommend to have all personal curses on for either Boss or Fuji because with all general curses activated some of the personal ones downsides are either completely negated or will already have happen anyways.

Benefits of Boss:

Explosions become really powerful late game (may cause lag)

Curse of the Mysterious is a freebie since the whole map will be hidden (Caused by X Must Die)

Boss Mid-Late Game can screen wipe any room and one shot any boss

(Besides the final boss, Golden Mask, and The Glitch).

Benefits of Fuji

Curse of the Hunted negates Long Distance Relationships downside/Cordelia's shop spawning only some times. This means free items every floor (besides alt) and sometimes two shops.

Money is only necessary for Doctor upgrades

Curse of Heavy Weight is almost canceled out by Curse of the Hoard

The shop gives a free map which will make navigation super easy.

Free Health at Shop.

Free Items at shop.

Who Should you Choose?

Fuji is without a doubt better than Boss simply due to the Free Shop Curse and a guaranteed shop spawn on all floors (except ALT).

This is a big deal because the only thing you need to buy is doctor health and strength upgrades meaning anything money related is pointless beyond that. This makes any money based curse negligible really quickly.

Map also being free allows navigation to become possible since without it your blind.

Ambrosia also being free means any Portrait Demon hits or close calls can be negated at least once.

Chunks also spawns almost a minute after you spawn which Fuji is more adept at taking out early game.

Yes, Boss is good especially for the final boss but with the whole run in mind Fuji is better.

General Guide For All Floors

General Challenges you will Encounter at all floors

Facing Chunks (Will not be encounter in Dream Floors)

Facing Portrait Demon (Will not be encounter in Dream Floors)

No idea where you are

Anything you will encounter in a normal run but worse

General Tips

Loop using basement before doing a true loop, prevents loop enemies from spawning.

Take special elevators to skip bosses

Avoid Witch Begon With Fuji

Upgrade Damage then Health

Maximize item potential and avoid bad items (Dead Eye, Chaos Token, Pea Shooter, etc)

Avoid Toilet Paper unless you have wet wipes or a bathroom elevator with a clear path and a medkit.

While this run is essentially chaos your general game knowledge you should have to even attempt this run should be more than efficient.

Chunks

Glutton For Punishment - Quick Guide image 62

Facing Chunks is going to happen whether you like it or not and he will not be ignored.

He spawns extremely quickly so the best thing to do is to knock him out first thing every floor.

IF YOU HAVE ACTIVATED A PORTRAIT DEMON DO NOT LEAVE THE ROOM face and knock out Chunks then deal with the demon in the next room. If you fail to do this may Gabe Newell help you.

Chunks will mutate after the first floor, be especially careful of the dog mutation.

Getting the dead rat will resolve any Chunks issue permanently but you should never count getting it in a run. Chunks will also be gone in the dream floors.

Facing Portrait Demon: Easy To Avoid, Deadly When You Don't

More of a nuisance than anything. Will be activated by being too close to it's painting and spawn after you move to the next room. LISTEN FOR THE JINGLE

Despawns after two minutes, going into a boss room with the boss STILL ALIVE, getting hit by it, or leaving the floor.

Getting hit by the demon is a run killer (REDUCES YOU TO 1HP and it spawns often. Using the free ambrosia for these moments.

Only a problem on the main floors, during the dream floors the demon also slumbers.

No Idea Where You Are

Remember all floors are mixed up meaning any enemy can spawn!

Normal Floors 1-4 will be mixed

Alt Floors 1-4 will be mixed

Dream Floors will be mixed

Only real solution is to buy the map at Cordelia's Shop. Avoid Globe it won't help you and instead only hinder you.

Try to get the item X Marks the Spot since every normal room is secret due to curses every room is reveled. Does not show shops and Treasure and Chest rooms are also secret.

Search the edges for the shops first to find the map.

When you have the map try to remember where you are manually since the game will not show it, you should be centered in the middle of the map. Map will not track where you have been.

How Many Times Should I Loop?

As many times you feel comfortable, you should at least loop once for getting the bed setup but this will not guarantee you are ready.

Keep looping until you have high health (I had 60 as Fuji) and damage (Fuji's punches did 106 damage).

Always loop with basement by going to Floor 1

Don't forget you have a little bit of time to upgrade in the dream levels but once you enter the dream levels no special floors/elevators will spawn.

Final Boss Tips

These are a bit general and obvious but better safe than sorry.

Have high health, the more the better.

High Damage is a must, the boss has high health for each phase.

Invincibility items are your best friend

First Phase:

Jump and hit, the boss is extremely mobile and can not be stopped. Do what damage you can.

All of the attacks are highly telegraphed so you should be able to dodge most of them.

Second Phase:

Way easier to hit, but attacks are barely telegraphed so be on the look out. Try to get this one done as soon as possible.

Boss Rush Phase:

All Bosses are at low health take advantage of that and go at them. They should be easily killed in one hit.

Final Phase:

Don't wait for the special credits roll, attack as soon as possible and aim for the head. Killing the head will kill the boss for good.
