Plan your next UnderMine session
Our independent guide breaks down UnderMine’s core loops, item interactions, boss design, character rescues, and platform features. By observing each documented element, you can build a clear picture of how runs evolve and how permanent upgrades shape future attempts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade Flow Mapping
Record the amount of gold earned in each run and the upgrades purchased. Compare runs with heavy spending versus conservative spending to see long‑term effects on survivability.
- Spend gold on different upgrades each run to see how they change your survivability.
- Observe which floor layouts yield the most gold before encountering a boss.

- Try pairing items that boost similar stats to maximize stacking effects.
