Light spoilers only. These are broadly useful tips and patterns that help with routing and survivability across Pharloom.
Summary
- Faster travel opens up a lot: activate bells early and look for secondary networks later.
- Don’t fear missed maps: Shakra can sell missed area maps after you progress.
- Treat benches as puzzles: some require a fix or a trick before they’re safe.
- Keys and strings matter: plan Simple Key usage and consider Rosary Strings before risky segments.
Another 15 Little Details (Quick‑Use List)
- Fast travel unlocks in stages. Free the bell travel first, then keep an eye out for additional nodes in Citadel regions to shrink runbacks.
- Shakra’s humming helps you find her. If you miss her in‑area, she can sell missed maps later once you return to a hub.
- Benches can be “broken” or trapped. If a seat looks suspicious, scout for a lever or a breakable wall before resting.
- Door toggles create safe loops. In interior areas like Whispering Vaults and Underworks, flip every toggle on your way out to shorten retries.
- Memorium has a clever ceiling. The map‑room ceiling can hide a passage that bridges toward the ducts—useful for alternate routes.
- Ducts map is close to a hub. In the Putrifield Ducts, the area map sits just south of the main bench room—tag the bench first to make retries trivial.
- Apostate door unlocks a big fight route. Grab the Apostate key from the ducts to open a stubborn door in The Slab.
- Strings protect savings. Convert Rosaries to strings before long hazard segments to reduce loss on death.
- Plan Simple Key usage. Keys open great shortcuts but are scarce early; route toward your biggest time wins before spending.
- Audio is navigation. Hums (Shakra) and machinery cues (Citadel interiors) are strong signals when maps are incomplete.
- Add control beats greed. On bosses that summon adds, clear the room first; then take short, consistent punishes.
- Two‑hit rule in tight arenas. In compact rooms (e.g., hunts in The Slab), land one pogo + one swipe, then reset to avoid trades.
- Bench hubs > long pushes. Build short scouting loops from a safe bench rather than committing to long, risky chains.
- Upgrade checks are subtle. If a route feels “almost connected,” poke flat walls and ceilings—breakables often sit near obvious seams.
- Use boards to stack goals. When visiting a region, pick up multiple Wish tasks that target the same area to compound progress.
