  • For the standard Dark Room route, carry The Negative.
  • Prepare for Satan's multiple phases before committing to the arena.

Checkpoint and exit

Defeat Satan. Five Satan victories unlock The Negative for later runs.

The post-fight chest leads to Dark Room when the standard route requirement is met; otherwise it can end the run.
