QUICK DIAGNOSIS

What is blocking this run?

The 7 questions players ask most. Match your situation first, then read the linked guide.

I just started and do not know what to upgradeDiagnose housing, transport, and damage before spending.

Ore is piling up while Gold barely movesThis is a transport bottleneck, not a reason to add more mining damage.

Why can I not spend Prestige Points?Prestige Points are spent on the Prestige screen after completing a reset.

Which source should I run for a missing Spire artifact?Separate boss, Vault, Alchemy, Forge, and underground sources.

How do I diagnose a failed timed boss?Use the previous Mountain to test real damage, Den coverage, and reserves.

Is this an idle game or an active game?You can idle once the system is stable, but bosses, calamities, stranded ore, and key upgrades reward active intervention.

What do the main route, 100%, and Endless each require?Clear the Great World Spire for the main route; 100% adds the artifact and one-billion-Gold goals, while Endless shifts to Ascension scaling beyond Mountain 100.
