Summary
Endless Dungeonis a pseudo roguelike tower defense game set in the same world as another beloved indie game,Dungeon of the Endless. In thisspiritual successor sequel game, players will need to steadily climb down this abandoned Space Station that a whole cast of colorful characters just can’t seem to escape from.
As players make more progress inEndless Dungeon, they’ll unlock Beverages, which are essentially modifiers they can enable or disable to change up a playthrough or even to add more challenge. Let’s go over all of the Beverages that Fassie at the Saloon has to offer, and which ones are the best.
Unlock Method
Bloody Melee
Medkits no longer heal the player but make them invincible for 10 seconds after being used. Additionally, players get -100 percent defense and +10 Life Steal on Shove.
Defeating Bug Momma
Sadly at the bottom of the list is one of the more interesting Beverages thatEndless Dungeonhas to offer, Blood Melee. Bloody Melee, when enabled, makes it so that players will die much faster and medkits no longer heal them.
But, in exchange, they get a big boost to lifesteal on shoving enemies and they become invincible for 10 seconds when using medkits. It’s an odd payoff, as it’ll feel great in the early floors of a run. But, as players get further down and the enemy count (and boss count) begins to increase, the lack of defense and window to actually safely shove enemies becomes more and more apparent.
Pepper Punch
+50 Percent Turret Damage, +20 Percent Turret Defense, Turrets now deal 100 of their own damage to themselves per shot.
Defeat Shelldiver
By far this is one of the best beverages to use for any Comrade players out there sincetheir whole gimmick is placing Turretsand their ability to do so doesn’t have a cooldown. However, this Beverage was likely designed with primarily environmental turrets in mind, and that’s a bit tougher to play around.
To successfully stay alive while this Beverage is enabled, players in solo will want to keep their turrets close to them at all times or research heavily into Diagnosticators to passively heal turrets as they damage themselves.In a Team Squad multiplayer session, they can switch it up a bit and split the team up to monitor their own groups of turrets within different areas. Regardless of what strategy a team picks, the Wit stat goes a long way when this Beverage is enabled.
Silent Punch
Mini-Map, Tactical Map, Wave Staus, Red Sector, & Border Marker UI Elements removed/disabled, but players get +30 Percent Speed and +20 Percent Hero Attack Damage.
Defeat Red Dead Eye
This next Beverage is one that’s in a small subcategory of ‘ultra sweaty’ Beverages that players who are exceptionally skilled (or think they are) atEndless Dungeonwill benefit the most from. The speed and damage buff of this Beverage is huge, but the downside in how much information they lose access to overall is typically not worth it.
That said, once players get familiar enough with the game, room layouts, and all the other small visual clues the game gives them, this Beverage is a bit easier to handle. Still, a very risky one to enable, and not one that anyone would recommend to a newer player.
Medkit Megashake
+100 Food cost to buy Medkits. When a Medkit is used, for 15 seconds afterward +50 Percent Hero Defense, +20 Percent Firerate, +50 Hero Attack Damage, and +20 Percent Speed.
Unlocked as Part of Shroom’s Questline
It makes sense that this next Beverageis a part of the healer Hero, Shroom’s, questline, given its effects. Basically, when enabled, players are going to be much more intentional with their medkit use, and they’ll likely be buying a lot fewer Hero upgrades at the Upgrade Stations that can appear anywhere within the Station. However, outside of these Upgrade Stations, the Food resource isn’t used all that often, at least compared to Industry and Science, so the downside of medkits costing twice as much isn’t all that bad in the grand scheme of things.
Harvey Headbanger
+25 Percent Wit, +3 Industry per door opened, +15 Percent Speed, +60 Percent Knockback, -90 Hero Attack Damage.
Defeat the Last Boss (Eriaudy)
The Harvey Headbanger beverage is absolutely the Beverage of choice for any player who seems todig the tower defense aspects ofEndless Dungeonmore than the twin-stick shooter aspects. Additionally, on a few specific Heroes, namely Comrade, Fassie, and Sweeper, this Beverage can essentially turn them into instant Turret full-healing (and boosting) machines.
But, as far as downsides go, this Beverage is probably the most severe. The absurd damage debuff basically makes it almost impossible for a player or group ofplayers to get by with their weapons and skills alone. Instead, they’ll have to focus almost entirely on their Turret Research, Turret upkeep, and on finding the optimal Turret placements for each floor.
For Those Who Wish to See What Cannot Be Seen
-50 Percent cooldown for Hero Active & Ultimate Skills, -50 Percent Damage on all Turrets.
Unlocked as Part of Fassie’s Questline
For the next Beverage, this one has an absurdly long name and it’s also pretty much the exact opposite counterpart to Harvey Headbanger. Instead of heavily nerfing the player’s Hero damage and buffing Turret damage, FTWWtSWCBS does the opposite by making Turrets half as useful but enabling players to use their Active and Ultimate Skills about twice as often.
This can have a huge impact on a team that includes Heroes like Shroom, Cartie, Zed, or Blaze but it’s at the very least useful for just about any Hero. However, it needs to be restated that this is a tower defense game, so the nerf this Beverage makes to Turrets is going to make a lot more of an impact during gameplay than most players likely expected.
Tea of Myriad Outcomes
Generators now select their resource randomly, +100 Percent Generator Max HP
Personally, this is our favorite Beverage, and thankfully it’s also inarguably the number-one choice across theEndless Dungeonplayer base overall. One of the most irritating things aboutEndless Dungeonis something that players won’t really discover until at least their second or third run, and it’s the act ofhaving to constantly keep Generators alive. Generators, for those who are unaware, are these objects players can interact with to boost a chosen Resource output for every door opened in the rest of that floor, which can have a huge impact on the course of a run overall.
This is all to say that it’s worth fighting off swarms of monsters mid-wave to keep them from breaking the Generator. But, with Tea of Myriad Outcomes enabled, these Generators last a lot longer and are very rarely destroyed early on in a wave, giving players plenty of time to defend them. The random resource selection downside for these Generators might seem rough, but as long as players are using their resources wisely, it shouldn’t make or break a run.
