Priority Order

  1. Veteran — Floor 50 is the skill gate. Good players reach it consistently.
  2. No Batteries — Use Gummy Flashlight, naturally earned while grinding Veteran.
  3. Full Clear — On an early floor (1-10), methodically check every container.
  4. Pandemonium Survivor — When you encounter it on floor 40+, have Sprint Potion ready.

Farming Strategy

Lockerless is the badge that separates good players from great ones. Strategy:

  1. Use only Gummy Flashlight (no battery management distraction)
  2. Rush: hide in side rooms, not lockers. Side rooms with closed doors are safe.
  3. Ambush: the real challenge. Know which floors have safe spots (alcoves, side corridors).
  4. Bring 2 Sprint Potions for emergency Ambush situations.
  5. Practice on floors 1-20 repeatedly until you can do them lockerless consistently.
