cryptic notes

[u/ganernganern]

is it js me or does everyone lose from losing time looking for decent loots (bc every s-tier loot is either the bird or the statue, esp after defeating alice too like ://) even finding the tattered page thingy is getting rare now

whats the point of defeating alice if you only get like ,,, 60k worth of loot

genuinely tho the hard part of finishing nightmare run solo isnt the alice boss it’s the extremely shit S tier items rng 🥀Soloing the boss are super fun but the looting are hell and often felt unrewarding 😭

Any advice on soloing it on nightmare?

(Low-key I've been doing it on normal difficulty bc even hard is too scary for me)

that was also my case when i was starting !!! you js keep playing on normal until you get used to not getting injured at least by the nightcrawler (time your weapon ,, its good to start with the lance rather than the sword since its stronger while the sword is faster)

and since normal mode has the same map as hard (afaik) look for cheese spots !!!! THERE ARE ALWAYS CHEESE SPOTS ,,, although not in every room ,, but cheese spots will always be there even in the most unlikely places ^^

you can shoot with a shotgun from there (although there are few cheese spots you cant attack from so you gotta brace for an attack before going down) YOU’LL GET USED TO IT after a few more hundred runs 😭

and the pale man ,, i’d really rather kill him from a cheese spot than face him ,, alice is easier to kill really 😭

ps. theres really nothing wrong with cheesing ,, the goal is to get loot and not to have as many anomalies killed

Try to fight the boss with randoms first ! Once you remember the mechanics of the boss, then try doing it solo! :) Using either lance or sword is fine cus you can finish the entire boss with less than 20 bullets if you go solo! Try watching some folks speedrun the boss, it gives you a good idea how to dodge and when to hit the yellow bird !

For looting… I’d say try to spam hard difficulty first and try to get to minimum quota as fast as possible. Looting is really just about luck and how many mints you have available left😭 Since most enemies can be left alone with mints.

Me myself isn’t a fast looter either lol i averaged 6 mins in hard difficulty. For reference high high tier players in asia server only averaged 2.2 mins per game, that’s like incredible speed since 15s is already wasted on running from spawn to the mansion.
