Tips for Progressing in Sanum and Building a Chip

It's important not to rush the Sanum level and focus on staying alive to avoid frequent deaths.

Divine orbs don't drop in the first two floors, so it's better to focus on minimizing afflictions rather than rewards.

Investing in cheap Relics that increase damage can be beneficial for fighting bosses or guards and it's important to avoid the worst afflictions for any build in Sanum.

Afflictions in Sanctum can have a significant impact on gameplay, such as losing 10 resolve when using a flask, experiencing a 40% reduced movement speed, and facing a 100% increase in resolve loss from traps.

These afflictions can make it challenging to kill bosses, evade attacks, and clear trap rooms, ultimately affecting the overall gaming experience.

Memorize the room types and floor names for easier navigation and better rewards.

Focus on finding the exit rooms on the first two floors, and prioritize killing guards on the S and Forest floors.
