Plan your next Berry session
Our guide breaks down Berry’s core systems so you can compare how each mechanic interacts with the others, helping you decide where to focus your effort for the ending you prefer.
01 / THE GUIDE
Map‑to‑Fly Ratio
Map each discovered fly to its host map and note any patterns. This can reveal which terrains hide more flies, guiding future runs toward higher fly counts.
- Take time to scan each map for subtle fly silhouettes.
- Compare terrain layouts to anticipate where shops may appear.
02 / THE GUIDE
Shop Item Impact
Purchase one combat‑oriented item and one utility‑oriented item, then record how each changes your shield usage or projectile handling during boss fights.
- Check each shop’s inventory before spending NOMI.
- Note which items enhance shield usage versus combat.
03 / THE GUIDE
Shield Economy
Track NOMI earned from discarding shields versus keeping them for health. Compare the net benefit to decide which approach suits your playstyle.
- Experiment with discarding shields when NOMI is low.
- Balance shield health against the need for shop purchases.
04 / THE GUIDE
Ending Prediction
Maintain a running total of flies collected and consumed. Before each boss, estimate which of the five endings you’re likely to reach based on that total.
- Prioritize areas with dense enemy clusters for hidden flies.
- Observe how ability strength scales after each fly.
05 / THE GUIDE
True Ending Conditions
After completing a standard ending, review any remaining undiscovered flies or unused NOMI. Use this information to hypothesize what extra steps might unlock the true ending.
- Track your fly count to anticipate which ending you’re heading toward.
- Consider replaying to explore the true ending after meeting the extra conditions.
