Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Level Progression

Which type of logic to use for progression through the game. Select will ignore story mode progression, and accessibility to stages will be given by items, based on gate options.

Story mode stages will be available in select mode, and clearing in select mode will automatically follow the story path, sometimes leading to bosses blocking further stages. Use the /story command to see what stages are available in story and /story /s{stage} to set the story progression to where it needs to be.

Include Last Story

Determines whether to include Last Way accessibility in the seed. In story mode: By enabling this, Devil Doom (the final fight) will be hidden in story mode and must be found in order to clear the game. Last Way goes to a random stage at the end, hence why Devil Doom MUST be shuffled in this way. In Select mode: Last Story will unlock early once the stage is unlocked via item or gate. Entering here plays as normal end game would, and would lead to Devil Doom afterwards. Note, if you are in the Devil Doom stage without the required goal items unlocked, you will be unable to complete it, Shadow will run out of rings on a loop and the stage must be exited and returned to later.
