It is advised to buy Ankh, potion of healing, & any item-specific bag they offer. Starting with 6F, every floor at the start of a stage will have a merchant room, which contains merchants. You could also not awaken the Rat King if you'd like to use Ratmogrify as your armor ability. They won't be much, but they'll be handy for the merchant in 6F. Don't worry about awakening him, he won't bite - once you awaken him, he'll just rush around the floor, running his kingdom. In 5F, you may be able to discover the Rat King, sleeping in a hidden room with multiple chests containing a tiny bit of gold. The Goo also regenerates when it's on a water tile. Bringing its HP down to 50% gives it the 'enraged' buff, enhancing its attack, accuracy, & evasion. The attack takes 2 turns to execute & hits only 1 target, but you know it's going to go off when the black particles cover a 5x5 square, which happens on the 2nd turn. The Goo is a bigger & tougher Caustic Slime with a new mechanism : charge attack.

Randomly generated & identified weapon / armor of choice.

Dried Rose can be equipped as an artifact (rose not provided, you'll have to find it).

Once the mini-boss gets slain, the Sad Ghost will rush towards you to give you these rewards : While stealth attacks work, a good alternative would be DoT (Damage over Time) from poison (Sorrowmoss / toxic gas) / fire (Firebloom / potion of liquid flame) (or whatever DoT provider you got at the moment). It's also vulnerable to 3rd-party attacks - attacks made by someone it's not attacking at the moment. Its ranged attacks may inflict either Burn or Poison.Įither try to corner it, or ambush it as it opens a door whenever possible.Ī bulkier but far slower (in terms of movement speed) Sewer Crab, it takes no damage from non-surprise attacks - even magic. Fight on water to negate the ooze, & keep moving to avoid the stunning stench.Ī darker Gnoll Scout with a satchel, its behavior is similar to the Scorpio, where it can only use ranged attacks & run away from melee distance. Depending on which floor you encountered him, he will give you one of these quests:Īn even stronger Marsupial Rat, its bites may inflict caustic ooze & its stench is so strong they paralyze anything on the tile with the stench (except the Fetid Rat itself). The Sad Ghost can be encountered in 2F - 4F. Keep an eye on the main swarm, as it's the only one to drop EXP.

Will split in 2 copies when taking physical attack as long as there's an empty tile next to it. Swarm of Flies : Available in 3F & 4F, but may also spawn on 6F.

Caustic Slime : Rare variant of the Slime, may apply caustic ooze on hit.Takes reduced damage with custom scaling, which could also prevent it from getting OHKO'd by a heavily upgraded T5 (before factoring in Ascension buffs). A tough Sewers enemy, with 150% movement speed & high stats (for Sewers' standards). Gnoll Scout : Available from 2F to 4F.It's as evasive as a late game mob, but goes down quickly to surprise / magical attacks. Sewer Snake : Available from 1F to 4F.Albino Rat : Rare variant of Marsupial Rat, with higher HP & a chance to inflict bleeding on attack.Won't attack the player if Ratmogrify is the armor ability. Basic mob with no special ability to note.

Marsupial Rat : Available from 1F to 4F.

if we're not counting the Ascension quest.

The 1F is the only floor that does not spawn additional mobs.

The guide may be updated following Shattered Pixel Dungeon updates, so it'll always be a WIP guide.

While Wiki links are available, they may be obsolete, as they are community-edited.

This guide is only meant to cover the basics.

Applies to v1.3.1.įor an even more detailed guide, here's a guide on Reddit by sorlock_dm (still a WIP, but extremely detailed). This is my basic guide for Shattered Pixel Dungeon (which is nutshelled to high hell of course).
