Pit of 100 Trials



The ultimate optional challenge in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the Pit of 100 Trials. The name says it all-- it's a 100-floor dungeon that looks as if it was built for torture. It is found near the entrance to the Palace of Shadow. According to Grifty, the Shadow Queen created this dungeon and filled it with powerful monsters. She threw in people who she didn't like and left them to rot. To complete this area, you must trek through 100 floors, defeat a lot of extremely powerful enemies lurking in the pits and even retrieve some new badges and the Strange Sack along the way. The enemy located on 100th floor is the boss, Bonetail. You can't save throughout the entire Pit, but you can go back to the entrance every 10 floors. One of the Trouble Centers missions after you beat the game is to blow up a wall on the 50th floor.

'''DO NOT ATTEMPT UNLESS YOU HAVE FINISHED AT LEAST CHAPTER 6 AND HAVE ABOUT 3 HOURS TO SPARE. YOU WILL INCREASE LEVELS SEVERAL TIMES, DEPENDING ON STRATEGY, BUT IF YOU DIE ONCE, IT'S ALL WASTED. YOU NEED TO BE GOOD AT BLOCKING WITH THE A AND B BUTTONS.'''
