What to bring

Read from the files, not from play: each line says which marker or entrance it comes from.

  • Climbing Axe

    2 entrances are marked climb-in in the files. The files do not say what the climb takes; the Climbing Axe is the game's climbing tool.

  • A weapon you trust

    Up to 8 enemies are placed here; the toughest type is the Armsy with 200 health on Normal. The enemy page lists hits to kill with each weapon.
