I. Know Your Enemies
In Dandy’s World, survival begins with understanding your enemies. This comprehensive Twisted Monster Guide will help you identify every Twisted, analyze their attack patterns, spawn floors, weaknesses, and find the best Toon counters to stay alive even on the highest floors.
Key Terms:
- Twisted: Hostile monsters that hunt players throughout the tower.
- First Spawn Floor: The lowest floor where a specific Twisted can appear.
- Core Weakness: A mechanic or tactic that can temporarily disable or evade a Twisted.
- Guide Tip: Higher floors often feature multiple Twisted types at once — knowing which threat to prioritize is essential for survival.
II. Core Twisted Monster Database
1. Dandy the Twisted (Main Mascot / Core Threat)
- First Spawn Floor: Floor 1
- Appearance: The game’s signature monster — a wide, unnerving grin, dripping black ink, and dual glowing eyes that follow you in the dark.
Attack Patterns:
- Basic Chase: Moderate speed; can cross small obstacles and maintain visual lock.
- Special Skill: A short burst dash that closes distance quickly.
Core Weakness / Strategy:
- Avoid running in straight lines; use corners and obstructions to break line of sight.
- Toons with blind or slowdown abilities can significantly improve escape chances.
Best Toon Counters:
- Toon A: AoE slowdown ability
- Toon B: Visual interference / flash skill
2. Twisted Squeaky (Speed-Type / Noise-Sensitive Monster)
- First Spawn Floor: Floor 5–10
- Appearance: Tall and thin, bright yellow with squeaky toy joints that emit high-pitched sounds.
Attack Patterns:
- Speed Advantage: One of the fastest Twisted in Dandy’s World.
- Noise Detection: Loud sounds such as sprinting or dropping objects instantly alert it.
Core Weakness / Strategy:
- Stay silent; crouch-walk and short glides reduce detection.
- Lure it into looping areas with multiple corners to waste its stamina.
Best Toon Counters:
- Toon C: Stealth skill for quiet movement
- Toon D: Passive noise suppression ability
3. Twisted Mimsy (Trap-Type / Area Control Monster)
- First Spawn Floor: Floor 15–20
- Appearance: Large, slow-moving figure carrying a toolset or trap box, often covered in mechanical parts.
Attack Patterns:
- Guard Behavior: Patrols elevators, generators, or key choke points.
- Trap Setup: Deploys sticky or mechanical traps to limit movement zones.
Core Weakness / Strategy:
- Use ranged repair Toons to scout or complete objectives from a distance.
- Avoid entering rooms blindly — certain Toons can safely trigger or disable traps.
Best Toon Counters:
- Toon E: Long-range disrupter
- Toon F: Trap disarm specialist
4. Twisted X (Event-Limited / Top-Tier Threat)
- First Spawn Floor: Floor 30+ or limited-time event floors
- Appearance: Cloaked in dark mist with glowing red eyes barely visible in the void.
Attack Patterns:
- Teleport Lock: Randomly teleports near players to initiate an instant chase.
- Heartbeat Distortion: Screen interference and heartbeat effects warn of its presence.
Core Weakness / Strategy:
- Requires team coordination — use voice or quick chat to track its last position.
- Anti-detection Trinkets greatly reduce teleport lock-on chances.
Best Toon Counters:
- Toon G: Anti-teleport shield
- Toon H: Party stealth enhancement
III. Multi-Twisted Strategy & Threat Prioritization
Threat Tier List
| Rank | Twisted | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| S Tier | Twisted X, Dandy | Core threats; lethal at all floors |
| A Tier | Squeaky | Speed-based chaser |
| B Tier | Mimsy | Strong defense, weak mobility |
Combination Strategies
- Fast + Guard Combo (Squeaky & Mimsy): Assign one player to kite Squeaky while others rotate around Mimsy’s guarded zones to complete objectives.
- Crowd Control Tactics: Always include a Toon with AoE blind or slow — crucial when multiple Twisted spawn simultaneously.
IV. Universal Survival Tools & Trinkets
Must-Have Trinkets
| Trinket Name | Effect | Best Against |
|---|---|---|
| Whisper Badge | Reduces sound radius | Squeaky |
| Shimmer Lens | Temporarily blinds monsters | Dandy, X |
| Lockbreaker Pin | Lowers trap trigger rate | Mimsy |

Environmental Interactions
Use vents, switch panels, and breakable doors to block Twisted paths. Certain floors feature electric or lighting systems that can temporarily stun nearby Twisted — use them wisely when cornered.
