NOTE: At this point creepy, crawly spider-like enemies begin to appear in the darkness, so be aware of that if you have arachnophobia or are triggered by specific types of multi-legged, skittering enemies. Continue down, breaking through the weak sections of floor in the maze and avoiding spike pits and centipedes, until you reach the bottom left corner. Continue down the path to the left and avoid the centipedes and you’ll soon see a doppelganger of the Knight lurking in the darkness.

Take the exit at the bottom of the screen and continue to head down until you fall through the weak floor and into a pit. Continue to the bottom and head out the exit on your left. Once you land, head left and hop down the vertical shaft on your left, making sure to fall on the left side of the chasm to avoid a spiked pit. Kill or avoid the Deephunter and continue up, then left, then drop down through the weak floor. Follow the path to the right, then wall-jump up the next wall. Kill the Deephunter, then dash to the wall on the left and wall-jump up. You’ll soon arrive at a three-way juncture after falling through a weak floor, so wait until the centipede passes, then head left.ĭash over the spiked pits and vertical shafts and continue left. Hop up and hug the left wall as you progress through the maze, dispatching the emerging Dirtcarver and venom-spitting Deephunter enemies as you go. Hostile bugs will regularly emerge from the ground or skitter onto the screen from the background or foreground, so be sure to pause if you step away (or while you are reading this guide) to avoid being killed unexpectedly. NOTE: Throughout Deepnest, you will be unable to “clear” areas of enemies in the same way you can in other areas.
