The least adventures someone can spend at minimum in the sewers is 9, in which each of their adventures is a tunnel adventure, and they have a full hobo binder equipped, as well as all of the items for the item tests. For obvious reasons, it is not likely that you will get only non-combats, but it possible to use tattered scraps of paper to avoid combats.

There are 3000 hobos here. As such, if you use no non-combats, you can clear the entire square in 1286 adventures if you make the maximum number of scarehobos. However, if you use the tent, you can kill more hobos and thus minimize the number turns. The more people of different classes in your clan with their instrument, the more hobos you can kill.

Side Zones

If you truly want to minimize your adventure count, you should not do any side zones. However, this makes Hodgman, The Hoboverlord much harder to kill. If you cannot kill Hodgman without any side zones finished, you need to defeat some side zones in order to make Hodgman easier. The strategy within the side zones is simple enough: use non-combats to kill as many hobos as possible.

  • If you are doing Burnbarrel Blvd., then you should throw the tires in Getting Tired violently, but make sure that the amount of hobos killed are less than the number of hobos in the area.
  • If you are doing Exposure Esplanade, then always yodel, to kill as many hobos as possible, but make sure that you can still yodel in that Hobopolis instance. For this reason, it is advantageous to have as many people as possible do this zone. As soon as someone gets the message where they vow to never yodel again, they should stop adventuring, and let someone else take over.
  • If you are doing the The Heap, start as many trashcanoes as possible, and avoid diving for treasure, unless you need to reset the stench.
  • If you are doing the The Ancient Hobo Burial Ground, just kill hobos, and don't send flowers.
  • If you are doing the PLD, constantly flimflam the crowd, and when you gain access, pick several fights to kill as many hobos as possible.

Semirare adventures in the sidezones should be ignored, as they take an extra adventure.
