Roadmap

Follow the walkthrough end to end and sweep every missable as it appears. The two missable Golds:

• Field Research - Professional: 28 missable bestiary entries across Tower of Zot (10), Tower of Babel story windows (11), and the Giant of Babel (7).
• Legendary Treasure Hunter: 14 missable chests across Tower of Zot (6) and Giant of Babel (8).

Tail of Myth is the longest single grind: trade a Pink Tail at the Adamant Grotto for Adamant Armor. The Pink Tail itself is a 6% drop from Flan Princess, which spawns at 1.6% on Lunar Subterrane B5. Do it during the post-credits cleanup window.
