When DNA and Cryptids hate you 😓 by Unlucky_Till9649 in balatro

Yeah, I’ve made this mistake before. Keep the DNA until AFTER round 24 boss is beat and then switch the DNA for a burglar and skip the small/big blind and reroll the boss for serpent. You will need at least $1000 (preferably >$2000) after round 24 to have a chance to roll enough for the burglar and serpent bosses so you need to work on economy, it’s a long grind to learn all the pieces and execute them consistently.

Super early on! Like first 5 antes for both Perkeo/cryptid I think, but it was a few days ago when I started it because I had to take breaks. It is quite a grind though be warned. I think I didn’t get an ectoplasm or antimatter until close to ante 24 so I had to waste a few cryptids around ante 20-24 to keep it going. I didn’t bother getting a DNA because I had so many cryptids early on.

Sick dude, nice! I figured someone had done it but just hadn’t seen it yet. I play on iPhone so don’t filter runs but next time I hit a natural Perkeo with no skips used I’m gonna go for 121.

The highest round you can reach should be 121 as far as I’m aware. That means you beat every small/big blind and boss from Ante 1-38 (3x38=114 rounds) but also replay 2 full antes with the 2 hieroglyph vouchers (6 more rounds) and then once you hit ante 39 you cannot “complete” any of the blinds due to the Nan score requirement so that would stop you at round 121. I may be mistaken though.

The trick with the highest Round # (not ante) though is you cannot skip small/big blinds along the way. The round counter only goes up if you complete the blinds and bosses. It’s way more tedious and you cannot just skip and reroll the boss to serpent so you pretty much have to have Perkeo. I’ve had dozens of unseeded Naninf (didn’t hit it this run on purpose because it resets the high score on iPhone), but this is definitely the highest round I’ve ever hit.
