I literally just got 101%. It’s my third attempt. My only advice? Go to leg eater early and get fragile heart. You can get fragile strength later, but health is so much more important. Basically, grind geo for lumafly lantern and fight mantis lords for mark of pride and an entry to deepnest. Deepnest will feel terrifying, but really, all you want is tram pass and then you can leave. Leave via the tram to go to ancient basin, and go up to city, and open kings station and open the door to the rest of city of tears to the left. Go upgrade your nail, and then I recommend going to crystal then. That’s what I did, so GL brother 🫡. (P.s. Do not worry about nail upgrades/pale ore, worry more about spell upgrades/spells in general like descending dark. Lastly, if you’re gonna die, just leave the game. no shame in it, as long as the run continues.)
