I managed to reach around the middle of the Void layer with Nix using a setup of Regen Sigil, Violetheart Pendant, and Ironhide Greaves. As long as we maintain shield stacks, we can safely ignore the Sporebound debuff and keep digging downward, just be sure to carefully balance the shield gain/loss vs stamina recovery. I swap out Violetheart for Verdant Radiance in Shimmera.

With this setup, it definitely feels doable now. Just be careful in the Void layer, since each dig effectively costs 2 stamina due to Wither, regardless of shield stacks.

I'm in shock! I followed your strat (doing Pendant the whole way) and did it after 3 tries with 15 stacks to spare! I'm so excited!!! :DD

I had super good RNG: good early stacks in in gravel layer and timely restore cells in Umbra and Void. Also the occasional Mageflare Rune. I was very lucky that my two flasks saved me with zero blocks to spare, like I was on the skin of my teeth. (I was also careless and had to use 3 ladders lol) I forgot the shield stack would also work on the core layers so I was panicking about my stamina but Nix just... went through lol.

I feel the real challenge is collecting enough stamina and shield stacks from Shimmera to go to Umbra, since the high visibility of the Void makes stuff easy to spot. Mageflare Runes are a must for Umbra, your strat of using them every 3-4 digs is very solid. You also have to be lucky with restore cells to counter Wither, so Ironhide Greaves is probably the optimal choice for deepwater dives.

I'm still in shock omg. That was so fun!! Thank you for the strats and this absolute gem of a game :DD

Congrats! You might actually be one of the first, if not the first, to reach Deepwater with Nix.

Glad the strat helped! I was experimenting with different sigil and equipment combos, and I noticed that the Violetheart Pendant helped a lot in sustaining Nix's stamina.

And yeah, given how tough it is for Nix to reach Deepwater, she kind of ends up feeling like the "final boss" of Farfields lol.

Thanks again for playing!
