  • Avoid flying too high or off to the sides of the map, as this will count as falling out of bounds and therefore make the player take fall damage from being respawned.
• Having the Artifact of Kin activated can allow for only the melee enemies from each stage to spawn, such as Bighorn Bison for Rallypoint Delta or Beetles for Scorched Acres, making the challenge significantly easier as long as the player can keep their distance and avoid fall damage. but it can also make the challenge nearly impossible if hitscan enemies, like Lesser Wisps or Stone Golems spawn instead.

• If the player is able to do this challenge on Rallypoint Delta and has enough movement items or an Eccentric Vase, they can make their way to the island outside of the stage where no enemies will spawn.
