Grey You is the Spring 2022 special challenge path, introduced on February 15, 2022. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "Resistance is goo-tile."
Divergences
- Your adventure begins with Your Friend Goo.
- You have no organs, instead you absorb the item you attempt to consume.
- "You absorb the...."
- Each item can only be absorbed once in a Grey Goo lifetime. "You've already absorbed this pattern of atoms."
- Absorbing food grants you +2 maximum HP, booze gives you +2 maximum MP, and spleen items give you +1 maximum HP and +1 maximum MP. You do not gain stats or adventures or anything else by absorbing consumables (e.g. you will not gain Breathitin™ charges). Absorbing muffins will destroy them!
- You have no mainstat, and the mechanics of stat gain have changed.
- At the end of combat your nanites absorb the remains of your opponent, granting you adventures or increasing one of your stats.
- You do not gain experience from other sources, including consumables, usable items (like Baseball), combat encounters, non-combat adventures (such as That's a Tidy Bowl, Man! or The Institute for Canadian Studies) or The Shore, Inc. Travel Agency.
- You start with only one path specific skill: Pseudopod Slap
- Further skills are gained by post combat absorption.
- Non-goo skills are not accessible, and you can't use skillbooks such as the Emotion chip. ("This is not how grey goo acquires knowledge.")
- You start with only 5 max MP, this is not tied to your myst. Post combat absorptions increase this.
- Upon freeing King Ralph you must choose a class. Your stats and organs are reset to 0, meaning that you will be level 1 after completing the challenge run.

Strategy
Breadth-first traversal; one-time adventure absorptions await in most zones, so roaming far and wide is the key to early turngen (and early class skill acquisition).
Early access to higher level zones is useful for learning the more powerful and useful skills. The Infinite Loop skill will enable quick levelling and is attainable early on by using the combat lover's locket or other wishing mechanic. If it is within means, it may also pay to spit on and yellow ray the pygmy for essentially 4 free pygmy fights in the form of writs of habeas corpus.
The lack of hero key generation (other than dungeon) means that alternative methods of key acquisition may need to be employed for sub 3-day runs. Possible methods include reminiscing a fantasy bandit and copying 4 additional for a fat loot token. Alternatively using the full-length mirror to chance a copy of zappable Vending Machine accessories.
Rewards
- A class tattoo is obtained when starting the path.
- Players will receive a Thwaitgold protozoa statuette each time they complete a run.
