To get the tasty ending, you not only need to eat Bella Chonki’s pizza and steal their crown once, but you also need to do it two more times after that. On top of this, once you’ve gotten your first crown, you cannot get caught at any point, or you will lose all of your crowns. Let’s just say the dog guards aren’t fond of things being stolen from their leader.
This can pose quite a formidable challenge for those unprepared, as it leaves less room for trial and error. As such, here are some of our top tricks for how to get that juicy tasty ending:
LAY OF THE LAND
Our Tour of the Village posts gave you an introduction to what the various districts look like, but our final post talked about what happens in the village between runs. For starters, the streets you will run through are lovingly handcrafted, meaning they won’t move around between each run. Learning what routes work best for you can therefore be crucial in getting to the top of the island in the smoothest way possible.
KEEP AN EYE ON THE FOOD METER
As we talked about in one of our earliest posts, keeping an eye on your food or key meter can make all the difference when navigating the island. Make sure you have the means to enter the next district either to get further along your path or to get away from a pesky group of guards chasing you.
FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD
In order to maintain that meter, you will of course need to shove your face with as much food as you can. This doesn’t only have to mean running around being a walking, screaming vacuum cleaner of all things tasty, but it also means being strategic in what items you are using and what corners of the map you are seeking. For starters, the gigantic meals scattered across the village are an excellent source of tastiness. Secondly, you have items like the magnet that lets you grab food from further away that can be combined with other passive items like the mint, to decrease the time you are chonky after eating too much.
WEAPON OF CHOICE
Lastly, to ensure you can maneuver past the guards both at the top of the village but also throughout your journey, make sure you identify what items work best for you. For some, it might be the Energy Drink, for others the Bag of Bones but regardless of what it is, make sure your active consumable item is the one you prefer so that you don’t accidentally lose all your progress right at the finish line.
