How do I retreat from an expedition with all my resources in Loop Hero?

How do I retreat from an expedition with all my resources in Loop Hero? - Spacecraft launching into orbit during sundown

I'm confused as to how I'm supposed to retreat from an expedition without losing any resources, and I haven't had much luck tracking down an answer.

My assumption was that beating the boss would allow me retreat with all resources, and sure enough, upon beating my first boss I was given the option to retreat with all my resources. I decided to stay, though, since I wanted to farm more... only to no longer have the option to retreat with all my resources.

I ended up dying before finishing another loop. It doesn't make sense to me that the game would allow me to continue exploring after the boss is dead if doing so would result in me losing resources, so there must be something I'm overlooking.

How can I retreat from an expedition without losing any resources?



Best Answer

You can retreat from an expedition with all your resources by pressing the button in the lower right corner of the screen when you're standing on the camp tile.

If you hold the button down some gears will pop up, which indicates it'll give you the option automatically so you don't miss it (you still have the option of staying).

    Answer 2

    Normally, if you wanted to retreat while keeping all your resources, you would have to retreat only when you are on or adjacent to your campfire tile.

    On the other hand, if you were not by your campfire, the only other way to keep all your resources is to use the Orb of Immortality when retreating. To use it, you would click on the "Take All" option while in the retreat dialog.

    To get more orbs, you would have to defeat the chapter boss.

    Answer 3

    To add to other answers: I'd recommend turning on "Pause at the end of each loop" in the options.

    Pause at the end of each loop

    This will pause the game every time you touch the campfire, ensuring you don't accidentally pass it and begin another loop (causing you to lose resources if you die or retreat early)
