How to Enter the Dungeon
Getting into the Pim dungeon is a hidden sequence most players stumble through blind. Follow these steps exactly to trigger the rift and teleport into the gauntlet.
Travel to Slapple Island
Make your way to Slapple Island, the small landmass tied to the Slapple glove and the Pim storyline.
Find the Pim face under the table
Locate the table on the island and click the hidden Pim face tucked underneath it to begin the secret sequence.
Watch the rift drop the Pim head
A rift opens and drops a Pim head prop, signalling that the encounter has been activated and is ready to accept you.
Teleport into the dungeon
Interact with the head to teleport into the dungeon, where the five-key gauntlet and the fight against Pim begin.
The Five Keys
Progress hinges on locating five keys scattered across the dungeon's rooms. Each key unlocks the next zone, and missing one stalls your run entirely.
Ruby Key
The first key, usually found in an early puzzle room guarded by basic hazards.
Silver Key
A mid-tier key hidden behind a navigation or timing challenge in the second zone.
Rune Key
Tied to a rune-themed room, often requiring interaction with glowing symbols.
Fiery Key
Found in a fire-themed chamber where damage avoidance is critical for Hard Mode.
Seer Key
The final key, opening the last door to Pim's arena and the confrontation itself.
Marewarder Glove Abilities
During the fight you use the Marewarder glove, granted automatically inside the dungeon. It has three abilities you cycle through to deal with Pim's attacks.
| Ability | Use | Description | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| DASH | Mobility | Quick repositioning to dodge Pim's projectiles and cross hazards | High |
| LIFT | Utility | Raises or moves objects blocking your path to certain keys | Medium |
| FLARE | Offense | Damages Pim during his vulnerable windows in the arena | High |
Hard Mode and the No-Damage Challenge
Hard Mode is the same gauntlet with one brutal twist: you must avoid taking damage throughout the run. Clean key rooms, learn Pim's tells, and only commit to FLARE when it is safe. Clearing Hard Mode earns the Banish the Night badge and the Static glove with its Distortion ability.
A normal clear still rewards the Unmasked badge and unlocks Marewarder permanently, so do not stress if Hard Mode feels out of reach on your first attempts. Practice the layout, then push for the no-damage run once the rooms are muscle memory.
Tips, Traps and Rewards
Veterans run Pim efficiently by memorising room layouts and ability priorities. Keep these pointers in mind to finish clean and claim every reward.
- Bring a full party if possible — extra players split aggro and parallelise the key search, drastically shortening runs.
- Memorise the hazard patterns in each room; the Fiery and Seer zones are where most Hard Mode attempts die.
- Save FLARE for Pim's stagger windows instead of chipping damage, since burst is what actually progresses the fight.
- Clearing the dungeon normally grants the Unmasked badge and the Marewarder glove.
- A Hard Mode no-damage clear adds the Banish the Night badge and the Static glove.
- Track changes to the encounter on the updates page, as bosses are occasionally rebalanced.
