Post your nugget of info and hopefully we can all learn something new!

This is somewhat recent but I want to mention this for other players like myself who wasn't aware. You can surprise attack using a 90 degrees wall bend and a reach weapon. Specifically, leading a mob around the bend and attacking once you see it again. You do need to hug the walls on the last two tiles of the bend and then you're free to keep hugging or move diagonally. Obviously, this isn't meant for square rooms and similar right angled walls but ones where you can escape line of sight to make the surprise attack.

The red berries stop dropping for huntress after the prison. That or I have horrible luck or something else. It has made me question how useful the perks are. Especially since I am so partial to the Warden.

I think once you get 6 you can't get any more. But I remember metamorphosizing to the skill later on and the berries spawned well past the prison.

Personally, I always put 2 into that skill and it gets the first two points. I avoid tall grass in the first and second floor until I have 2 points into it to maximise getting apples. Then I generally hoard them and they never get used unless a run really goes sideways.

Instead of wasting the inventory slot, you can also just delay taking the upgrade until later in the run

Yes but a run can go sideways in the sewers. In part, thanks to her starting weapon. I play with 5 challenges and I ain't that good so sometimes I need any little help to salvage a run.
