Boyfriend Dungeon brings a fresh new perspective to the classic dungeon-crawler, combining it with a dating sim. In this game, you venture through dunjs, slaying enemies with your love interest/weapon of choice. Along the way, you will be able to use zines; these are small books that provide powerups based on the content.
In this guide, we are going to go over every zine, as well as what each one does. Although you are not required to use a zine while you dunj, they are very helpful and can help you take out waves of enemies. First, let's look at how to get zines.
How To Get Zines
In total, there are eight zines available to use. You are only able to use one zine at a time, and your zine collection can be found on a bookshelf in your room.
To get a new zine, you will need to find the recipe card within a dunj. These recipes will be inside vaults that appear may appear on certain floors. There are 65 recipes in total, which means that it make take a while for you to find a zine recipe.
To efficiently farm for recipes, break through any cracked wall that you find. These are shortcuts that lead to a vault that will contain a recipe. Cracked walls look different than normal walls, but if you aren't sure, just attack the wall anyways. Shortcuts and secret passageways may also appear on the mini-map; these locations can look like hallway entrances, even if you cannot physically see them in the dunj.
If you have already visited the second dunj, be sure to find the boss here. After being defeated, this boss will drop a unique recipe that will be different every time you battle. If you are strong enough, this is a good way to find new recipes.
Once you have a new zine recipe, head to your room and interact with the crafting table. Here, you will be able to see every item that can be crafted, along with the required material.
