Early Game Guide & Tips - Season 4 Update

Early game guides for LET IT DIE: INFERNO. This includes notes for efficient early game goals, game flow progression, what to know in early games, and what to do when stuck in LID.

Early Game Goal: Defeat Deadnote

Defeat Deadnote First

The early game objective is to defeat Deadnote in Stratum 6: Death’s Passage.

Stratum 6 has three bosses: Deadnote, Berserk Mironette, and Gomamusha. While defeating all three is a Season 4 goal, Deadnote should be your first target as the easiest boss to defeat.

Collect Equipment and Raise Your Rank

Another early game goal is to collect equipment ranging from Uncommon to Legendary rarity, as well as Blueprints. You should also raise your Raider Rank to prepare for more difficult floors.

Recommended Early Game Routes

Floors on the left side of the recommended route sheet are easier, while those farther to the right are more difficult. Prioritize the left-side routes during the early game.

Prioritize Routes Without Bosses

*Iron Peak unlocks after clearing Skeletal Grove, while Grand Malestorm unlocks when total Raiders Fund donations reach 50 million Kill Coins.

Floors on the left are generally easier, but you can also prioritize floors that do not require defeating a boss to evacuate. The second column from the left has fewer floors with boss defeat requirements. If no boss defeat is required, you can evacuate by simply collecting SPLithium.

Early Game Flow and Progression

Early Game Progression Flow

Collect Equipment, Sellables, and Recovery Items

Your top priority is acquiring Weapons, so collect them from Treasure Buds. Upgrade your Armor when possible.

Also, prioritize Sellable Items and Recovery items. If you have extra space, collect Crafting Materials as well.

Treasure Buds Guide

Prioritize Bringing Back Weapons

Stronger Weapons make it easier to defeat enemies efficiently. If you are using Timothy, his Skill can restore HP. You can also skip recovery items and focus on collecting equipment, such as Weapons and Sellable Items.

Use Katana and Wheel Blade Early On

If you're unsure which weapon to use, the Katana and Wheel Blade are recommended. Both have easy-to-use Normal Attacks and powerful Deathblows.

Next Best Weapons: Arm and Chela

The Arm and Chela are also easy to use, so it's a good idea to get familiar with them. The Odachi, Bat, Hammer, Metal Whip, and Chemical Popper are also good options.

Heal with Craburgers

Bodies other than Timothy restore HP using items or Yummies. Since Backpack capacity is limited in the early game, carrying recovery items can be difficult. Use Craburgers to restore HP instead.

How to Restore Health (HP)

Prioritize Storage Expansion with Kill Coins

Your initial Storage capacity is small and fills up quickly when you bring back equipment. Use the Kill Coins you earn to prioritize increasing your Storage capacity.

How to Use and Upgrade Storage

Defeat the Boss or Evacuate via the Pod

Each floor has set missions required for evacuation. Complete the mandatory missions shown on the left side of the screen, then escape via the Escape Pod.

Select a Powerful Core

When you evacuate via the Escape Pod, you can select one Core after clearing the floor. Use the above as a reference and prioritize powerful Cores. If "Restore Health on Counterattack" appears, prioritize selecting it as it is particularly powerful.

Best Cores to Use (Early to Late Game)

Prioritize Counter-Heal Even with Timothy

Timothy can restore HP with his Skill. However, "Heal per Counterattack" is useful for recovering HP during boss fights. Be sure to pick it if it appears.

Timothy's Strengths & Recommended Mastery

Acquire Masteries

At the end of an Exploration, you receive Mastery Points regardless of whether you survive or die. Higher Body Ranks grant more points, so be sure to acquire Masteries.

Early on, prioritize the Inventory Weight Mastery for any Body.

How to Unlock Mastery and Level Up

Collect Rare or Higher-Rarity Equipment

Try to collect a good amount of Rare or higher-rarity equipment. Weapons should remain the priority. 2-3 Rare Weapons are enough, but aim to stock 3-4 or more Epic Weapons.

Pick Up Legendary Weapons in Death's Passage

Collect Legendary Weapons in Death's Passage. If you cannot defeat Deadnote yet, continue bringing back Weapons to prepare for the next attempt.

Recommended Weapons include the Katana, Wheel Blade, Arm, Rammer, Odachi, Metal Whip, and Chela.

Put Weapons and Blueprints in the Safe Box

A small mistake during Exploration can lead to death. Place Weapons you want to bring back and Blueprints for powerful equipment in the Safe Box before exploring.

Items stored in the Safe Box are brought back even if you die.

How to Use the Safe Box

Legendary Equipment Is Also Available on Floor 5

In Floor 5, you can sometimes get Legendary Rarity Weapons from bosses. If you get one, prioritize bringing it back.

However, weapons like the Magnetic Staff, Plasma Laser, Evil Rod, Fireworks Shooter, Sealed Portrait, and Corrupted Fang are difficult to use in the Deadnote fight.

Update Armor as Much as Possible

For Armor, equip Legendary items whenever possible. For Feet Armor, prioritize items that increase Movement Speed. If none are available, prioritize those with a higher Health increase.

Defeat Deadnote and Survive

In Floor 6's Death's Passage, you cannot evacuate without defeating the boss, Deadnote. Bring Legendary Weapons and as many recovery items as you can carry.

If you cannot defeat Deadnote, prepare for the next attempt by placing your strongest Weapons in the Safe Box before the fight.

What to Do When You're Stuck

Unlock Masteries

A Body's abilities improve significantly with Masteries. If you cannot clear a floor, repeat Explorations to earn Mastery Points and unlock Masteries. You receive Mastery Points regardless of whether you survive or die, but higher Body Ranks grant more points.

Purchase Weapons

The shop sells Weapons up to Rare rarity. If your preferred Weapon is unavailable, you can purchase one and bring it with you.

However, buying Weapons frequently can make it harder to save Kill Coins. Use Weapons found during Exploration whenever possible.

Bring Recovery Items

Bring recovery items when entering floors with boss fights. You can buy them from the shop or craft them through Special Crafting.

Make use of Vitanon DX from Exploration rewards. It has 0 Weight and is not lost upon death, so keep it with you whenever possible.

Change Bodies

If you're stuck, consider changing your Body. Recommended options include Timothy, who can restore HP with his Skill; Sasuke (Technician), who has high maximum Inventory Weight; and Joe and Inva, who have powerful Skills.
