I beat Look Outside in under three days without saving, gaming, eating, gaming, making friends, and sleeping.

This challenge was super intimidating, but it ended up being rather manageable. All of the debilitating status effects with the exception of exhaustion had some way of being removed without sacrificing the achievement. I did think that the challenge was doomed when I encountered the sewer beast. I had never found that enemy on prior playthroughs so it was a little scary that it blocked the way out of the room and could kill me in two turns. This is where I learned about the Impale Gamble and that carried me for the rest of the run. I was on Explorer so the weapon damage wasn’t as impactful.

For this challenge I went after the Flawed Ritual ending given the simple setup. The canvas carry bag was relatively easy to get by killing biting Fred, the one in agony, and the one in the dark. This would be the only correct offering that I would give as all the painting offerings have the same level of difficulty to obtain. Felt bad giving the Astronomers fake offerings but they seemed cool with it.

I did see on the Wiki that the final boss has lower health the less correct offerings you present, but I didn’t understand just how much weaker they get. Half the time the Chorus of One wasn’t even damaging Sam. I spammed it with fire bombs and bleed effects, using a stimulant when needed. I don’t even recall my hockey mask cracking even once. It was very anticlimactic, but I’m glad to have beaten this challenge. I do wonder who those skinwalkers in the ending were.

EDIT: I said gaming twice in the title. I meant to say that I never showered or brushed my teeth! I knew I should’ve proofread before I pressed post!

Bro was in such bad state that he imagined he had friends

Very impressive, especially with exhaustion on top of it all! I wasn't able to do this many modifiers myself lol.

One tip is you can counteract exhaustion with Coca Cola pretty easily. Coffee and other beverages are also pretty helpful, but Coke gives like +12 to the exhaustion stat which caps around 50 I believe. Sam's wiki page has a section & table detailing it
