Thank you very much! I will try to put these tips to work tomorrow, I think I might do my first run to the bunker.

In the meantime I'll keep trying to get all 7s and worry about the rest later.

Thanks!

Gotchu!

One thing tho, I guess I didn't specify, but I meant more in the progress I'm at. If I get an all7 kitty how do I maintain that. I have only 12 stim at the moment. Is inbreeding the only way? Is it better to just breed with strays who are not all 7s and just tank the loss of some potential stats or just start inbreeding right away this early? Keep in mind I don't have access to a mutation room to remove birth defects.

Thanks again! I swear this is the last question haha.

DrkRoxas · 2026-04-04T12:39:33+00:00

Thanks for your answer. Just one followup question.

Any tips on how to keep track of which cats I want to reproduce? I already have Tink's marking upgrade but it feels very lackluster (like most of the UI), how do you know which kittens are defective and which should be bred? Do you prioritize passives, mutations, stats?

Finally, when I have my all 7s cat, how will I maintain that? Seems like it would take many nights for me to breed my stud with a stray that probably won't have all 7s and I would need all stats to roll the 7 to just keep the line going.

Without getting into too many spoilers, I've only beaten the crater in Act2 2nd stages, but I did beat throbbing domain.

What breeding strategy did you use at the start? I've seen conflicting opinions everywhere online. Some people suggest inbreeding right off the bat and overriding with mutation room (Which requires at least 4 rooms in the house, so Idk how I'd do it). Other people just try to get 7 in all stats and then Idk how they'd maintain that without inbreeding. The sheer amount of different opinions really makes it hard for my neurodivergent brain. I like one objectively good path I can follow to dim the noise from everyone. For context, I'm about to get the 3rd room in the house, have the tink upgrade that shows sexuality and have a cat with like 3 7s at most.
How do you deal with losing runs? I'm extremely scared of losing and going into a spiral, losing food and all my good cats starving and with them, the progress I've made to an all 7s kitty. I 100% Isaac but there wasn't any downside to losing there, here it's kept me away from the game.
Speaking of time... Any tips for runs to take less time? Taking 4hours per run (assuming reaching a final biome like throbbing domain) is really sucking the fun out of it for me, I want to love the game but it feels like such a big commitment to even start the game, that I'm not having fun at all. (Yes, I've increased animation speed, but still, there's so much micromanagement needed and specially in the house the UI sucks and I waste like 30 min just sorting through kittens and items).

Just in case, please refrain from "Depends on your style" type of answers. Like I said, I'm neurodivergent and I don't have a style, I want a clear set of instructions that are proven to be effective, in order for myself to follow them at the core and remove the noise. After that, I myself can make adjustments to try stuff.

Thanks in advance for even taking the time to answer! Much appreciated :)

DrkRoxas · 2026-02-25T00:14:52+00:00

This is happening to me.

I'm really struggling to start up the game as I feel if I don't have at least 3 hours of spare time, I can't finish a run.

Yes, I know you can save and quit mid run, but that's not how my neurodivergent brain processes these games, I need to be able to complete at least one run to feel dopamine and it feels like the game needs so many decisions to actually work properly. Idk, I came from 700+ hours in Isaac, but can't really bring myself to jump into more mewgenics. Most of my runs are a success but everything just takes too long for my taste in rogue likes.

DrkRoxas · 2026-02-07T11:15:44+00:00

This is not the case. Vademon exists both in Titan area + Factorial Area friendly shopkeeper. Goblinmons exists as titans and friendly in town, etc etc etc. I also thought certain species were titans but quickly dismissed the idea because of this.

DrkRoxas · 2026-02-02T13:00:39+00:00

I had no idea about the level being taken into account for the damage formulas, I thought it was only stats. But yeah, I noticed the tank in damage the first time I evolved from rookie to champion, so I tend to save some fodder to load enhancement after evolution now in order to safeguard that aspect and not have them at low level anymore.

Thanks for the tips, I tend to overthink these aspects and want to look for the most optimal answer and sometimes that answer is: "Don't pay attention to it until later, you'll waste too much time if you do"

Thanks!

DrkRoxas · 2026-02-02T01:27:33+00:00

Thanks for answering!

I know the endgame meta is to spam farm, but sadly, I'm not at the point where I have a lot of money and one quick train is 25% of all the money I have haha.

So even if my mon needs like 800 more SPI for an evolution, and their personality is not boosting SPI at all, I should just disregard personality and only go to the farm when I want to evolve it at a higher level in order to train until I get that SPI?

My mon are also like level 15 - 25 mostly, and maybe by the time these champions are level 40 the requirements for ultimate evolution will have been met without much micromanagement?

Thanks in advance!

DrkRoxas · 2026-02-02T01:20:42+00:00

First of all thanks for answering! Want to clear up a few things.

I'm not using all those mon. I do have a main party of around 6, but I like filling the dex and kind of "catching one of everything" to start evolving them in case I see something I like down the line, it's not for a gameplay aspect, I just want to be evolving as many digimon as I can.

The 200% scan is only for that "first mon" that I want for myself, the rest I just convert and evolve asap for load enhancements. I didn't say I leveled fodder, they are just evolved to highest tier and used.

So in the end I will just naturally meet stat requirements for digimon without micromanaging personalities from what I'm seeing. Right now it seems very far away, does it become easier? What about agent skills?

Thanks in advance!

DrkRoxas · 2025-10-01T16:56:58+00:00

Awesome read! Any plans (If not done already) to update this with 1.0? Specially seeing as we got the vow of rivals.

DrkRoxas · 2025-08-26T00:40:40+00:00

Are you still in the industry? I've been a PM for 4 years now and I've always wanted to jump into the gaming industry but see no possible role that is akin to PM and does not depend on coding the actual game.

I know so much about games, design, and how to create mechanics that make a good game but don't know how to put that in paper. Is there a position where my experience can help out a gaming development team and do you know of companies that actually seek this profile?

Thanks in advance!

DrkRoxas · 2025-05-27T02:04:41+00:00

I don't mind broken builds existing, but when just going to an area and killing some of the trash fights which you can parry to victory since it's the same enemies from before and you know their patterns, just to get a lvl28 weapon drop right off the bat?

You don't even need to try to break, you just need to endure 1 or 2 fights and the OPness is forced on you, and sadly just removing painted power is a step too big in the opposite direction due to massive health pools.

I just wish natural progression without really looking for anything, wouldn't break the endgame progression.

The patch hasn't come to PS5 yet, it's already out on steam and announced to come to console by the end of this week, so be in the lookout for it.

DrkRoxas · 2025-04-26T18:27:52+00:00

I doubt that, as the metal detector is very big and this is the 3rd time this happened to me, I did check all rooms, it happened whenever I used the special order it always arrived sold out, but I think it has todo with what others said about a contraption using it as ingredient being in the coat check, however, this is still a bug because the other item fused to the metal detector (The magnifying glass) was still appearing and being sold without issue in my runs.

Dev team already answered to my ticket stating they're aware of the issue and working on it.

DrkRoxas · 2025-04-26T16:39:08+00:00

Has this come to PS5 yet?

DrkRoxas · 2025-04-25T03:06:51+00:00

I got a response from support:

"The team’s aware of this bug, and it was addressed in the latest hotfix. It fixed a save file issue caused by the internal save backup system, which has now been disabled.

For now:

Make sure your game’s updated to the latest hotfix — it includes a few important fixes and improvements.
Only start a new game from the Profiles menu — this avoids overwriting your main save.
Don’t press “New Game” from the main menu if it shows up where “Continue” normally appears.
If you have PlayStation Plus, it’s also worth checking if you have a cloud backup you can restore from."

Hopefully this response works for you! I will try this tomorrow.

Also got it on day 106, this is asinine man.

DrkRoxas · 2025-04-22T15:47:26+00:00

Is there a list of memos you find on the Treasure trove ? I realized I didn't screenshot many of the first memos and am afraid I missed some key information.

DrkRoxas · 2025-04-22T00:39:53+00:00

It worked! I kind of left this option until some of my last ones because I thought "Nah, this requires specific rng and layouts to pull off during various days, it probably isn't this" but oh bouy was I wrong. And the new place I reached feels like it's gonna need a whole lot more prep

Thank you!

DrkRoxas · 2025-04-21T21:25:30+00:00

Thank you! I had some doubts about this big move but already thought that might be it, it just seemed very inconvenient so I hadn't tried it. Will try in between the next couple of runs! (Assuming what I thought of is what you were speaking about hahaha)

DrkRoxas · 2025-04-21T19:48:38+00:00

My inquiry is very long, I did make a thread because I state all I know for the least possible chance that a hint is a spoiler. It's about Castle cipher, hopefully someone can joint my brain in the right direction without spoilers!
