Randomness challenge routing: use broad safety shells and avoid achievement stacking.

Answer first

Randomness challenge routing: use broad safety shells and avoid achievement stacking.

Run checklist

  1. Confirm the exact rule text in the in-game Codex before treating the route as final.
  2. Pick one stable build shell and change only the challenge variable while testing.
  3. Do not combine this challenge with no-hit, collection, or high-pressure side goals on the first clear.
  4. After a clear, record the Genetic used: finalising one Challenge requires beating that same Challenge with every possible Genetic, while Really? repeats that matrix across all Challenges.
