Step-by-Step

1. Start by checking your surroundings and equipment, identify your immediate objective, and note a sensible route back toward Barry before pushing into unfamiliar rooms.^{[search-47e106aaa390]}

2. Search nearby rooms and accessible loot first, and only take side detours when the reward justifies the extra time.^{[search-47e106aaa390]}

3. Use the Sketch-A-Map to track the layout, Barry and teammates, and mark routes with glow sticks or pings so you can retrace your path.^{[search-47e106aaa390]}

4. Decide per item whether to use it or deliver it to Barry, since every item can also count toward the quota.^{[search-47e106aaa390]}

5. When a creature closes in, head for safety instead of more loot, use landmarks to find an escape route, avoid dead ends, and warn teammates.^{[search-47e106aaa390]}

6. Once you have enough resources, return to Barry, confirm the quota is met, and move to the exit rather than risking the run for extra loot.^{[search-47e106aaa390]}
