Dandy's World Guide

Master Dandy's World with our comprehensive survival guides, strategies, and tips for both beginners and advanced players.

Beginner Tips

Getting Started

  • 1.Choose Your Starter Wisely: Poppy has better extraction speed, while Boxten has balanced stats. Consider your playstyle when choosing.
  • 2.Learn Twisted Patterns: Each Twisted has unique behavior patterns. Study their movement and patrol routes to avoid detection.
  • 3.Prioritize Machines: Complete machines to unlock the elevator and progress to the next floor. Coordinate with teammates for efficiency.

Survival Basics

  • 4.Use Stealth: High stealth stats reduce your detection range from Twisteds. Crouch and move slowly when enemies are nearby.
  • 5.Escape Chases: When being chased, use obstacles, corners, and safe spots to break line of sight. Know your escape routes.
  • 6.Save Ichor: Don't spend all your Ichor immediately - save for better Toonsand Trinkets that match your playstyle.
Advanced Strategies

Team Coordination

  • Team Composition: Balance extractors (high extraction speed), distractors (to lure Twisteds away), and support roles (healing, buffs)
  • Communication: Use voice chat or quick messages to coordinate machine extractions and warn teammates of nearby Twisteds
  • Role Assignment: Assign specific roles before starting - who extracts, who scouts, who distracts enemies

Optimization

  • Trinket Synergy: Combine trinkets that complement each other to maximize stat boosts. Stack speed, stealth, or extraction bonuses based on your role
  • Floor Planning: Scout the map layout before committing to machine extractions. Identify safe routes and escape paths
  • Twisted Priority: Know which Twisteds to avoid completely (like Twisted Dandy) vs which you can outrun or hide from
Pro Tips & Tricks

Character Unlocking

  • 💡 Main Characters require 100% Research - focus on encountering their Twisted forms and studying them
  • 💡 Complete Mastery quests for characters you want to unlock - they're essential for Main Characters
  • 💡 Save Ichor for Main Characters - they require more Ichor than Regular Toons

Combat & Survival

  • 💡 Speed multipliers stack - use trinkets, abilities, and team buffs together for maximum speed
  • 💡 Don't ignore skill check stats - failed checks alert nearby Twisteds and waste time
  • 💡 Stamina management is crucial on higher floors with more aggressive Twisteds - don't sprint unnecessarily
  • 💡 Learn safe spots on each map where Twisteds have difficulty pathing - use these as hiding spots
  • 💡 Break line of sight when being chased - use corners, obstacles, and elevation changes

Game Items & Trinkets

  • 💡 Each item has unique functions - learn what each item does and when to use them
  • 💡 Trinkets provide stat boosts - equip ones that match your Toon's strengths and role
  • 💡 Some items can be used to distract or escape from Twisteds - keep them handy
