BAROQUE Guides
A bleak roguelike RPG about descending the Neuro Tower. These guides cover descent planning, item identification, resource management and the differences noted between editions.
English translation of the existing Japanese guide. Japanese-release names and mechanics are retained; this is not a new gameplay verification or a claim of complete coverage.
🗼 Basic Descent Route and Floor Strategy
Your objective is to progress through the Neuro Tower's randomly generated floors toward the bottom. Each floor has a port leading onward; step onto it to descend. Layouts change between attempts, so reading the current terrain and enemy positions matters more than memorizing a route. Early on, descending safely rather than forcing full exploration can be effective.

If defeated before reaching the bottom, you lose items, including equipment, and earned experience, then return to the Outer World. This is both a penalty and a progression mechanism: death unlocks new conversations and developments. One failure does not leave you permanently stuck; repeated attempts are part of the game. Decide whether to descend with expendable equipment or commit to a longer push at a key opportunity.

Different meats replenish health, while hearts replenish vitality. Eating either while its corresponding gauge is full raises that maximum by a set amount. If you can spare the item, deliberately eating while that gauge is full can therefore build long-term durability. Vitality keeps falling, however, so judge whether maximum increases or immediate recovery matter more.
