Distinguish normal mode, Second Run, and Mary's Mode

Second Run changes the locations in the normal collection tables. With a 40-second limit and one starting heart, prioritize essential items, homes, and reaching the toilet.

A short route to finish Second Run

You do not need to repeat every optional normal-mode collectible. Since you have Broken Sword, head for the toilet once you have secured factory credentials and the route there.

  1. Get the crabs, Coffee, and the lighthouse's Flashlight within the 40-second window.
  2. Start from Caravan and rescue the person in the desert with Watering Can.
  3. Defeat the two enemies at the oasis and collect Sword Thrower.
  4. Get Gardening Glove from the changed cave, then return to the starting house.
  5. Defeat the archer across the water to get Press Pass, then establish a home on the Hotel's upper floor.
  6. Go around through the mine and activate the bridge's middle switch.
  7. Use your factory credentials and take Broken Sword to the toilet. Check for ANOTHER MINIT.

The 25-life and no-snake-killing conditions

MINIMALIST requires finishing within 25 lives. Read the route while paused, when the timer stops, and decide your goal and path before moving to reduce timeouts spent reading.

PACIFIST, SORT OF requires finishing without killing snakes. Watch for accidental attacks while cutting grass, and avoid charging sword throws carelessly in front of snakes. Crabs and necessary bosses are separate from this restriction.

Mary's Mode is a separate mode without a time limit, available after finishing at 100%. It does not substitute for ANOTHER MINIT. This guide does not make a definite claim about version differences in damage invulnerability.

If startup or the timer seems wrong

If something abnormal happens, such as the normal 60 seconds passing far too quickly, first check pause, the mode name, and frame-rate settings. In high-refresh-rate environments, possible individual tests include a 60 fps cap or windowed mode.

For startup problems involving saves, back up existing saves elsewhere before investigating, rather than first deleting files or overwriting Cloud data. This guide does not present an unverified settings-value repair as a universal fix.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 Do tentacles count toward 100%? ▼
A

HI MY NAME IS MARY requires 100% of fixed items, coins, and hearts. The fixed item Turbo Ink needs eight tentacles and a report to Octopus, so tentacles are also part of the collection route.

Q2 Does finishing within 25 minutes earn MINIMALIST? ▼
A

The condition is within 25 lives. Enemy deaths and manual retries can occur, so real-world elapsed time alone cannot determine this.

Q3 Do I need to shut down the entire factory in Second Run? ▼
A

If you obtain factory credentials and open the toilet route while carrying Broken Sword, you can finish without the normal boss or factory shutdown. A normal-mode sword will not give the same ending.
