Maps and Floors

Get familiar with maps. You'll have the common maps show up between floors 1-9, after 9 I believe you'll get more "special" and rarer maps, such as mains maps or the garages which are a bit more challenging thanks to being smaller/bigger/set up differently than the common ones.

 

Don't run around like a headless chicken, I find by going around the map in a circle you'll have better odds at surviving as well as locating machines. Rodger is the way to go if you want to get more research, furthermore trinkets given upon completion of twisteds. He's also a great way to get used to stamina conservation, since his lower movement speed forces you to take your time.

 

Speaking of time, don't rush!! There's no time limit on the floors. You don't need to "babysit" Glisten as many people say. People will often say "I'll babysit!" When he shows up, however, he will actually let you know when to check up on him. His count down bar is 90 seconds long, after which he'll shatter and that's not good, but at 60 seconds he will give you a pop up. Something among the lines of "I don't want to be alone". Pause what you're doing and go find him, that way you're not walking around with him all the time and praying he happens to wander to a machine briefly.

 

With blackouts, if you angle your camera to be looking through any glass surface (windows and even Rodgers face!), you'll be able to see MUCH better. You can see if twisteds are coming or going which is really helpful!

 

 

​Voting Cards

Use your voting cards wisely. If in a team and a medical card shows up, keep in mind that cards are limited! There's only 2 medical cards that you can use. Just because one team mate lost a heart, doesn't mean you should waste a card. But if say your whole team is down a few hearts, then it's worth using. Furthermore, don't bother picking the cards that effect blackouts, Ichor leaks or the ice. They only lower the chances by 0.5% each time. Blackout chances cap at 30%, meaning if you were to chose all of the available blackout cards, it will only make the cap to 25% instead. Not really worth it in the early game.

Items

​

​

Tapes are honestly a better choice to go with over event cards, or even "gambling" as we call it (where the player is given a random item if you have the inventory space for it) learn how to manage items.

 

​

​

A Box Of Chocolate (commonly referred to as a BOC), is much better than having just a singular chocolate bar.

 

 

​

Same thing with the Bottle Of Pop (abb.: BOP).

 

 

 

Medkits are better than Bandaids (Bands and Meds- unless you're playing as a Main with 2 hearts then the healing items both do the same). Also if you find a Med, and you already have a full inventory plus a band, get yourself hit, use that band and pick up the med. It's one extra heart for you! As well as be prepared for Twisted Gigi. If you have the option to, try and put your best items in your furthest inventory space.

 

 

 

Twisted Gigi will only steal the first items you have, so by having things infront of your good items you'll be less likely to have them stolen! Keep a mental note of where items are. Let's say you have a good inventory already, and you find something. A Bottle Of Pop, Box of Chocolate, Speed Candy, anything like that. And let's say you're in a bad situation, you used up all your items, and you're panicking? Well you can think about where to grab those items you might have found previously. In a pinch, sometimes all it takes is running and grabbing that one chocolate you found. You wouldn't believe how many times this has saved me before!

 

 

AFK spots

AFK spots are your friends! Go on YouTube and search up DANDY'S WORLD AFK spots. These spots are places that the Twisteds will not path to. You'll be safe to idle there, as well as sometimes even run to inorder to be safe from being spotted. Adding to this, coat hangers and certain walls are also great. Even if you think your butt is hanging out and SURELY the blood/Ichor hungry Twisteds will find you? They might not. They usually lack a lot of... Basic intelligence. Twisteds are pretty blind for the most part (Brusha and Pebble being exceptions). They can see ahead of them just like how eyes work. They have a panned out view, plus a circle around them (meaning you can't exactly get really close behind them and give them a tap on the shoulder if that makes sense XD).

​

 

Stealth

And depending on your Toon's stealth, you also have a pretty much bubble around you. Toons with high stealth can get closer to Twisteds without being seen (assuming you're not approaching them from infront), compared to low stealth Toons who can't get too close without being spotted. Essentially both toons and Twisted have bubbles around them saying that if your bubble and a Twisted bubble collides, you'll be seen. So just be aware of this when you're near a Twisted or ones getting close. Don't be afraid to hop off a machine before you get spotted.

 

If you see a Twisted coming your way, you can get off the machine and leave before you're seen (unless of course you're stuck in a skill check!)
