7. Abyssal

Temporary Heightened Security. Could absolutely ruin your day if you wander into one. Unlike Heightened Security, this one isn't hovering your head the entire game. It's just a couple of rooms, so you can be more aware of avoiding traps as long as you have Abyssal. Probably not a good call to get if you're going to be spending a lot of time in Asphodel.

6. Slippery

The real annoying part of this is that the "invisible" bloodstone is still pretty visible. Anyways, not too bad if you're in Tartarus since casts aren't that great in Tartarus. You don't really need Boiling Blood since the HP total is low. And there's a fairly good chance you may even leave Tartarus without a cast at all. For the record, the grand majority of my Chaos visits happen in Tartarus. I just can't reliably get Chaos outside of Tartarus other than Light of Ixion.

While it's annoying in Elysium and Asphodel, it's not that awful. I can live without using cast for a while, as long as I can use it every now and then. I'm only spamming Cast if I have Greater Recall. I actually don't know what happens with this Chaos curse if you do have Greater Recall.

Alpha Tier

5. Pauper's

Avoid obol rooms for a while. Sometimes you can't and that's just...you just have to be OK with clearing an encounter for absolutely no reward. As I said earlier, Obol isn't the most valuable thing in the world, so not being able to collect it for a while is fine.

4. Flayed


3. Addled


If you're in Tartarus, Addled is one of the better curses to get - if not the best. As stated before, you both get Chaos a lot more in Tartarus and casts in general are not that important in Tartarus at all. It's also the easiest of Attack/Special/Cast to ignore. On the flipside, getting Addled in Tartarus or Elysium is pretty rough.

Flayed, on the other hand, is probably the least used out of Attack/Special/Cast for the entire run. However, I like using Special every now and then. Out of Attack/Special/Cast, Special is by far the one I will accidentally trigger the most, just because I forget that I can't use it.

But in the end, it's literally 5 HP per use.

I feel completely refreshed. Like I just put on fresh underwear on New Year's Day.
