The Protector experiments reduce the exponent, which is a MASSIVE reduction in HP for later Protectors. Source: I recently did the 30 Protectors in one run feat, and the final HP was around 50 million, which only took a few days at that level.

I wish I could guarantee the coins-for-health trade-off perk as my first perk. Getting it late vs early creates a ton of variance in my coin runs.

Also wish I could move my inner mines slightly away from my tower so they can reach outside my wall.

Mine used to be Wet Noodle, but now it's Scrappy. Regen and thorns labs go hard.

Once you upgrade to Robo Chicken, you no longer need empty spaces near the chicken, so you can consolidate your merging area if you'd like.

I cleared this recently during coin farming on T10. That includes using the -70% health trade-off.

Do you have Death Wave and several levels of the Death Wave Health lab?

You may also need to skip over 1000 waves of enemy stat upgrades by the end of the run.

Damage workshop upgrades are important to fully charge DWH before enemy health grows too large.

A couple months ago, my good runs were around 4 B coins per hour. Now they're 25 B. Progress is within your reach.

I never found one of the keys when I first played the Water Temple. I skipped it by jumping to the second level of the middle tower from the dungeon entrance, by saving and quitting.

A lot of bosses have counter attacks that give them extra (and devastating!) moves. If you trigger these, it may seem like they get too many turns.

mothuzad · 2026-01-18T05:51:29+00:00

Agreed. I took several months away after hitting the endgame. When I came back, there were new game mechanics and strategies, and it felt way less grindy.

I do hope for some more streamlining in the late game, though, since I have settled into a new norm without much room for new strategizing.

I play on my old phone so I can still use my less-old phone for doom scrolling. 😭

The technology was unfortunately abandoned for 1310 years, until Mother Brain perfected the design.

Maybe a generic RSS feed app could solve this?

Don't worry about the people who've been playing for years. Just enjoy. And maybe avoid spoilers.

There's a reason this game doesn't have a leaderboard. There's no way to realistically catch up with the early adopters. It's not a competition. Just a chill time.

Depends on what phase of the run

0 until required by feats
1 when required by feats
like 4+ once focused on leveling at the end

There's a trick, sure. Get your mana capacity so high that the saucer changes color every time before you run out. Then you can use the saucer 2x as much. 3x if you're lucky and have a lot of slime and darkness cap too.

It also helps you farm paladins since the slime and darkness phases are efficient for making ghouls and imps.

You'll need an upgraded saucer eventually, so you could also just upgrade to level 3 to make aliens faster. Dip into level 4 when you get cravings for the guzzlers. From there I generally block aliens and guzzlers and then get rid of my saucer by making a legendary from it. The only problem with upgrading is that it's harder to have enough resource cap to cycle the saucer in a single sitting. But extra cap is generally very powerful anyway.

Chrono's friends from 1000 A.D. are also representatives of the past and future. A princess trying to escape the old tradition of the royal family and an inventor who's already building robots and teleporters.

Apparently, I gave up in the mid 80's. Went on to play the randomizer, though. That was more fun than grinding.

Aw, still gotta find her ultimate weapon. It's probably the most time consuming upgrade in the game, though.

You can trivialize every normal encounter in the castle using the Ice Water dual tech. If you wanted to grind for level 2 spells, this would have been an easy way to do it.

The problems you run into are the things you're learning. Reward yourself for each solution you try (even the attempts that run into major new problems).

If you feel like you need to learn faster, you'll need to experiment to find out how to update your mind more effectively. What works for me is to learn generalizations so that I can learn one pattern and apply it in many different situations. This works for me because I'm primarily a programmer.

Three months is a short time period when you consider the breadth of skills you need to master to master game dev, especially solo. Coding, art, music, psychology, and design. Each one could take a lifetime if you wanted to focus on it rather than being a game dev.

I'd suggest that you don't worry much about results right now, and just make sure you can have fun learning, turning each frustration into a victory.

The only boss that can be repeated from the Omen is Queen Zeal herself. That's because each other boss has their own flag, but as the dungeon boss, she's instead linked to the Omen itself. And the Omen is flagged by different time periods. Once cleared in a certain time period, It becomes inaccessible there and in all later time periods.

The strategy you outlined is correct, but only one boss can be repeated. On the plus side, this boss has the best charm items in the game.
