If anyone saw my last quiz, you know that I spend way too much time playing idle ascii games. Well here's another one. Prepare to be addicted.

Start

The usual rules apply - no sharing answers, direct hints, naming the giveaway, etc.

Oh forgot to say that the game is 10p, indie, but never bundled.

How do I load? There is an autosave feature, but I don't see how to load my game, and I don't want to idle 24/7 :(

I think it's saved in your temporary files like a flash game or something. I wish there could be a more permanent way of saving.

I remember candy box, actually, it's still open on one of my 60-ish tabs. :D Sometimes I take a look, how things going there. :D

I also solved that puzzle, but I will not try this, thanks anyway. :)

While I was on the right track, YouTube confirmed for me how to do it so that I didn't have to waste more time, so check there if you want a more specific explanation.

What you need: at least one invulnerability potion, at least one seed, and luck.
It's still a pain, even now that I've passed the game. The luck is needed for getting a fairly clear path through to the gate. I had to reload my save a bunch of times to try to get through Hell again just now. (Two invulnerability potions might be required; I'm not sure how strong the devil is anymore since all my stuff is random level.)

But once you make it through Hell, the rest is easy.

So essentially, use the same technique as in normal, but with more luck involved >.<
