DEATHLESS RULES

Using the Astronaut Figurine to cheat death is not allowed.

HITLESS RULES

A hit is defined by a loss of health and/or stagger caused by an enemy.

Hits from player triggered traps count, environmental damage does not.

DAMAGELESS RULES

Negating damage from an enemy attack/projectile with shields is allowed.

Anything that makes you lose health will end your run.

SPECIFIC RULES FOR RETURNAL

Major glitches are not allowed (AI Break, Out of Bounds, etc.) unless you tick the "Unrestricted" box when submitting your run.

Cycle resets are allowed but only if out of combat (no enemy aggro).
