Plan your next Goblin Cleanup session
Our independent guide breaks down Goblin Cleanup into clear, actionable steps. By focusing on tool handling, task order, and cooperative coordination, you can streamline each run, avoid common oversights, and keep the dungeon ready for the next adventure.
01 / THE GUIDE
Tool Familiarisation
Spend a short session using each cleaning tool in isolation. Notice how the slime dispenser works on ceilings while the Slimop is quicker on floors. Practising swaps will keep you efficient during full runs.
- Focus on visible blood first, then check for hidden traps.
- Leave a quick visual check of each room after cleaning.
02 / THE GUIDE
Room Checklist Routine
Create a five‑point checklist for every room: blood, objects, traps, creatures, loot. Follow it methodically to ensure nothing is missed, reducing the need for backtracking.
- Switch tools when the current one becomes less effective.
- Use the slime dispenser for ceiling blood and the Slimop for floor stains.
03 / THE GUIDE
Trap Reset Practice
When you encounter a trap, pause and note its location. After cleaning, return specifically to reactivate it. This habit prevents accidental activation later in the run.
- Mark any untouched traps to revisit later.
- Double‑check each chest after refilling to ensure correct items.
04 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Role Experimentation
In a four‑player session, try assigning each player a distinct focus—blood, objects, traps, or creatures. Observe how the division affects overall speed and adjust roles as needed.
- Assign each player a specific room to reduce overlap.
- Communicate when you encounter an active trap.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller Layout Test
Play a short round using both DualShock and DualSense controllers. Compare button placement for tool selection and movement, then settle on the layout that feels most natural for you.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep progress synced across devices.
- Try both controller types to see which feels more comfortable.
