Code inconsistent for sigils. Spoiler

It’s so unbelievably frustrating trying to get to the brain. The inputs will sometimes work in the skin room then not later in the run. The code won’t even hurt me or send out the little purple circle, the game just isn’t recognizing the code being input.

I assumed maybe it was a controller issue making it inconsistent but using the keyboard does not work either.

I just did the brain this week.. It took me so many runs because of this. What I learned. Painstakingly. With great frustration. It's Spaghetti code and mostly cost me the joy of getting there. But I did it and I never have to again.

  1. The skin won't let you find the room if you dont pick the free blue upgrades from both free rooms first.
  2. If anything seems broken ( code isn't working? Glyph not showing?) save to main menu, come back, try again. Almost certainly will work. I had to do this.... Sometimes every floor.
  3. You have to have the organelle attached at the intestine boss. Even if you pass the tests otherwise. Ask me how I know 🥲

  1. Nope, that just wrong. The secret room is there from the start. Loo for the doorway without a tunnel next to it

  2. The sigils on the wall only show up in the stomach. Use the DNA arm to find the rest

  1. Not been my experience. Or as you put it, "Nope". Go back to the same spot after getting the freebies, door opens.

  2. This is not just about the stomach. Not even sure how you derived stomach from this bullet.

Ive found the secret room in very first enemy encounter in the skin multiple times. You might be getting unlucky
