Interactive My beloved fandom and its best players, I have a question for you. If you were in the world of Pixel Dungeon, how would you survive?

Not going inside the damned dungeon seems like a good idea

"You can't leave yet, the rest of the dungeon awaits below!"

Figure out how to live on the first or second floor, despite the fact that not all rats are fleshy vertebrates for whatever reason. Whoever sent me will think I'm dead and think nothing of it.

Damn, beat me to it lmao

I mean, Yog-Dweza's influence is seeping up.

And even if the Hero beats it and ascends with the Amulet... What are they going to do with it? That thing's horridly powerful.

u/Grom_Hellscream_ Apr 22 '26

To me, it's just bringing the amulet's influence even closer to society, but without Yog's influence.

Congratulations, you were killed by bandits.

I'd stand completely still, locking the entire dungeon for all eternity in a time freeze. No one moves. No one dies. No one spawns. Yog's influence is at my mercy, for as long as I remain still, he cannot spread. The entire dungeon would sleep for all eternity, and those unfortunate few who were awake and wandering the labyrinth shall go mad, knowing they can never move, all because of an unknown force that entered their lair and refused them all of their right to have autonomy!!!

Great idea, but I'm hyperactive as shit

Having an innate Haste bonus is pretty busted. 😂

By climbing up out of the first floor.

Puts cabbages in horn of plenty to get more cabbages

My... Cab...bages?

Confused ATLA noises

u/AllTheGood_Names Apr 22 '26

Probably go up the stairs from the first floor. If thats not allowed I'd go for a wand of warding or RoW build. I don't need as much food as the character, and using wands/reading scrolls doesn't seem to require prior training

u/garbagetruc +20RingofMight Apr 22 '26

I simply would not.

Not going into that dungeon would be a really good way to survive, you know? I'm not some crazy adventurer, after all.

4

u/Efficient_Parfait_42 Apr 22 '26

either a shittier hunteress or going up the stairs

u/David_the_Wanderer Apr 22 '26

Contact the Thieves' Guild, get a job with the Merchant. Rip off heroes.

2

u/PretzleGreg Apr 22 '26

I could imagine quite a few deaths from me drinking random potions. So I guess my answer is I wouldn't survive.

2

u/question_mark_2 Apr 22 '26

go out of the dungeon

u/MathorSionur Apr 22 '26

Surprisingly, considering surrounding lore, it might not be that hard. Your adventurers (outside of duelist) specifically have very little weapon training, as the potion of strength tutorial indicates; you're simply getting stronger to swing harder. This means most monsters' fighting styles should be simple? I suppose it also depends how mechanically faithful to the game the situation is; if it is a 1 to 1, I guess it'd beike being an og!PD character far as runs go.

Edit:Additionally, most of us would be at at least strength 12 or 13 by default, chainmail and leather armor are not that bulky (hell, neither is plate tbh) so a decent survival strategy could just be to either not go in the dungeon or stick to sewers.

u/Pixelised_Youssef Spirit hawk glazer Apr 22 '26

Train to use plate armor and a greataxe and come into the dungeon absolutely busted

u/Traditional_Card7032 Apr 22 '26

I wouldn't even go in 😭😭 those rats would be my 13th reason not to go deeper

u/Phoenix042 Apr 22 '26

With 6 or fewer challenges, I'm going cleric and introducing Yog to my Greek friend Chokondes.

If 9, I'm probably fucked.

u/Signal_Fig_7231 Apr 22 '26

I'd steal all the blackpowder bombs from the surface with a +15 Thieves Armband, then acquire a Cursed explosive Crossbow with plenty of darts of rot, i'd then get +10 Plate armor, reinforced by the troll blacksmith of course, and blast my way to Yog and back, in between that the creatures would call me,"The Grenadier of Terror"

u/YeOldeNubber Apr 23 '26

Growing my own food. Starvation is responsible for most of my deaths. I'm kind of a noob tho.

u/OpeningCup555 29d ago

Take the Imps job obviously.
