no save run

Going in with no save run means every mistake is permanent. You die once, and that's it, back to the start with nothing kept. It's brutal but weirdly freeing—you stop caring about hoarding gear or grinding levels because none of it matters. Every hit you land feels earned, every close call makes your heart race. You learn bosses for real, not just cheese mechanics. The run becomes a story, not a checklist.
