What should I upgrade next?

Method-specific progression priorities

Tier 1 → tier 2 corrupted armour

Tier 2 armour reduces incoming damage and makes the Corrupted Hunllef inventory more forgiving.

Major upgrade
2

Attuned → perfected corrupted bow and staff

Perfected weapons are the main repeatable damage upgrade inside the self-contained run.

Major upgrade
3

Faster shard, frame and food route

Route efficiency creates the preparation time needed for the complete setup without relying on outside gear.

Minor upgrade

Common mistakes

Avoidable causes of failed or inefficient trips
