How to play it

In our own words, from our seed check (the original post has the finder's own notes).

  1. Ante 1: Ankh is card 2 in the shop queue, so it's on display in the first shop. Buy it and hold it. Director's Cut is the Ante 1 voucher.
  2. Ante 1, shop before the Boss Blind: the Arcana Pack has The Soul, which gives Chicot.
  3. Ankh copies a random Joker and destroys the others, so use it while Chicot is your only Joker if you want two Chicots. The Ante 1 boss is The Manacle.
The poster's plan: The poster describes an interaction between two Chicots and The Manacle. We haven't tested that, so read their post for the details.

What the post claimed

The original poster says this seed has Chicot, mentioning Ante 1.

  • Chicot: Checked.
    • Chicot - Arcana Pack in the Ante 1 shop before the Boss Blind (from The Soul) (Ante 1)

Caveats

  • The post didn't name a stake, so we checked White Stake.
  • Skipping a blind also skips the shop after it, so later shops change if you skip or reroll differently.
  • Seeded runs don't count toward unlocks or achievements.

How this seed was checked

This run was verified by BalatroBuddy on v1.0.1 (checked 2026-10-28) on Ghost Deck at White Stake.

Run Settings Note: The original community post did not specify the deck or stake. BalatroBuddy checked and verified these seed mechanics using White Stake.

What was verified: Shop contents, pack offerings, skip tags, and boss blinds for Antes 1-8.

Nobody at BalatroBuddy has played these seeds yet: every route here is worked out from the game's seed logic, not a human playtest.

We work out Antes 1-8 for the posted deck and stake from the game's seed logic. A seed is verified when every item in the post title shows up in a pack, a voucher or the first few shop cards. We leave playing-card ranks in Standard Packs off, because we can't confirm them reliably. Results assume every Joker is unlocked.
