Crypt of the NecroDancer

There are no boss fights with Dove, and she starts with a Ring of Peace and a good shovel. However, she can't kill anyone, only stun them (or teleport them with bombs). You MUST reach the exit before the song ends, or you will die. The Ring of Phasing does not appear for Dove.

A map is EXTREMELY helpful here. You don't need gold (shops offer one free item), so don't bother going into extra rooms. Stunning enemies does count towards your spell "kill" cooldown, but it's probably not worth the risk.

Try to find the shop to grab your free item on each level, but if you've already found the exit and can reach it, just go for it. You basically want to speedrun the game with Dove -- try to book it straight to the exit.

If a lot of enemies follow you into the shop, lead them in a circle and then stun one enemy in the doorway, blocking everyone else.

Do not swap rings probably ever. You don't want red dragons chasing you.

You can lead enemies into spike traps and that will kill them, so utilize them if necessary.

You can dig tunnels all the way around the exit and sometimes get straight to it without any enemies chasing you. If some are chasing you, stun one to block everyone else--you may even want to do this on purpose to trap everyone.
