OK,.... I've broken out of jail but I restarted to play the hold thru using the accessory chain to beat the Vat Keeper. No matter how I try, I never have enough HP to get past the mutants to get the luck greckle. I have even ditched the sword so I don't trip the trap doors thus eliminating several passed by a mutant. The shortest route that way still leaves me being hit 28 timein order to get the lucky greckle. I can't come close to having enough HP to do that. I either have more DEF and less HP (because of HP spent getting the DEF) or less DEF and more HP (but that increases the damage I take per hit. Either way,..... I haven't enough of SOMETHING. I'm hoping maybe 12th Archivist will humor me once more,........

UPDATE: I got the lucky greckle. Then I got the pickaxe. Then I discovered I do not have enough HP to make it past the guard to get to Thrice North, Quarce East. Stuck again. Guess I'll back it back up.

When should I be trying to get the Lucky Greckle from this room? At the moment I've got most of the collectables you can get without clearing the Gel in Cell Block A : 2N2W, and I haven't grabbed the Oremite Shield yet.

In the rat race, the lucky greckle is only traded for another item, and is not at all used to get extra money.

Getting it and surviving takes as much DEF as possible, so go after only once you get the oremite shield and as many DEF gems as possible.

I think I know what to do now. Thanks for the help.
