Path of the Plumber is the Spring 2020 special challenge path, introduced on February 15th, 2020. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "Jump, Hammer and Fireball your way through the Kingdom. Just like a plumber!"

Restrictions

Class and skills
  • None of your permed skills are available.
  • You cannot attack. Instead, you can use hammer attacks, fireball attacks or jump attacks, each skill of which has a level between 1 and 3. Equipment purchased at the Mushroom District Gear Shop grants 1-2 levels (1-handed weapons for hammer or fireball, accessories for jump), and the Mushroom District Costume Shop provides the last level.
  • Power Points (shortened to PP) replace MP; however, MP is still accessible for Seek out a Bird.
  • PP is fully restored after each battle.
Consumption
  • You have 20 stomach, and receive ~15x the stat points from consuming food.
  • You cannot drink booze. The following message is given when one attempts to:
"You have a zero tolerance policy about alcohol, which is to say that your alcohol tolerance is zero."
HP
  • You cannot restore HP except by using mushrooms, which are bought in the Mushroom District Item Shop, or by spending 1 adventure at the Save Block.
    • Unlike Dark Gyffte, you cannot even passively regain HP from "regenerate X HP per adventure" sources!
MP
  • As mentioned above, you have Power Points instead of MP. Power Points refill at the start of every battle, and are spent to use Plumber-y skills in combat.

  • A class tattoo is obtained when starting the path.
    • A sparkly class tattoo is obtained at the start of any run following your first Hardcore Plumber run.
  • Players will receive a Thwaitgold buzzy beetle statuette each time they complete a run.
