Underworld Guide Index
Every walkthrough for maps, difficulty, pets, combat, duties, and achievements.
Welcome to the Reap and Rush (地府有点忙) guides hub — your map through Early Access after the July 22, 2026 Steam launch. The full release ships four underworld maps, five difficulty tiers, six playable envoys, pets with auto-loot, and a Five Elements backpack you manage between waves. This page collects every walkthrough so you can jump straight to what you need without scrolling an oversized navigation menu.
New to the underworld
Start with Getting Started for the Zhong Kui mystery, Soul currency, and your first three runs. Then read Controls for WASD movement, mouse aim, and full gamepad support including Steam Deck notes. Combat Basics teaches dodge timing, elite telegraphs, and Soul routing before biome two punishes sloppy spacing.
World structure and challenge
Each run picks one of four maps with distinct enemy mixes and duty events — see Maps Guide for realm-by-realm tips. Difficulty is not a single slider: five tiers reshape enemy health, shop prices, and duty timers. Read Difficulty Guide before jumping to the highest tier for achievements. Launch-week questions about demo saves, discount length, and controller support live in Launch FAQ.
Between-fight bureaucracy
Underworld Duties cover feeding Yaoguai, escorting gods, and fox spirit cultivation side quests. They pay extra Souls and teach enemy types in low-pressure rooms. Do not skip them on learning runs — meta unlocks for envoys and ledger upgrades depend on steady Soul income.
Bosses, pets, and collection
When a gate boss stalls your progress, open How to Beat Bosses for phase tells and craft windows. Pets & Auto-Loot Guide explains balloon hounds, DD companions, and how pets vacuum Fate Stones during hectic waves. Track all 99 Steam achievements through Achievements Guide.
Build craft cross-links
Guides explain how to survive; Builds Hub explains how to snowball. After your first clear, pivot to Fate Stone Builds and the Build Planner. Compare power on Envoy Tier List and Companion Tier List. Patch balance shifts are summarized on Updates — revisit tier lists after every Steam news post.
