One thing i want to know though, is the effects of the curse negated in some way depending on how many times you get hit by it, or is everyone who goes to the 4th layer and back just like "oh look, i'm hemorrhaging blood again" every time. that seems like it would be pretty inconvenient. And in that regard, if it would be easier to just ascend slowly or just as fast as possible.

You don't get resistant against it, you just learn how to handle it. That's why trips can take months. You can't avoid the curse either, but you don't have to take a high dose by climbing a lot in one go. Riko's bleeding might have stopped earlier if Reg hadn't pulled her up as high.

That's another thing I've been curious about as well. How slow do you have to go to minimize the effects, it seems really impractical to stay at a deeper level any longer than you have to, given that you likely have to hunt things. Unless things are really flat usually, or there is those little weird rodents everywhere like in the third layer.

im not sure if it's possible to slow it down at all, to me it seems like it just immediately hits all at once after ascending too much

I mean, it seemed to sort of fade in more gradually when Riko was climbing that hill, only really reaching the full impact of hallucinations, etc. toward the end.

Which really bring's up the biggest question of them all. Bonedude's elevator. Is he the only one that knows about it or what? It seems like it would be a bad idea to ascend that fast through all the layers.

Almost certainly. I don't think that elevator is for transportation at all, purely for experimenting and loving around with the Curse. I haven't read the manga tho, that's just going off what we were shown in the anime.

Nanachi's explanation of the curse as film that "hits" you once you break through it makes sense though and makes that rapid ascent much scarier.

if you mean the Ido Front elevator (not the tiny experiment one), that's meant to be a one-way trip down

The elevator to Uncle Bondrewd's Delver Summer Camp isn't fast either, it just helps to keep the children alive while the escort stomps the wild life.

For the kids at least. Bonedude is seen on the surface with whistle+outfit and all, so unless he took a trip up manually through the abyss, it may be survivable but extremely uncomfortable with the elevator for adults.
^^^ That's another thing entirely, is it a direct trip down or is there stops along the way, if it's a direct trip they shouldn't really need any escorts for wildlife.

nah just imagine one of those flying creatures deciding to give chase to the giant box, or one of those needle tigers jumping on top of it and trying to break through the ceiling; or something gnawing on the cables. if video games have taught me anything it's that everyone will try to fight you while you're taking the elevator

Yeah I wanna believe that the reason nobody else is taking this super-easy elevator to the bottom is that it was destroyed by wildlife immediately.

You cannot go slow to minimize the effects. Once you "pierce" the invisible energy field you get hit by the full effect. But if you pierce multiple fields (by ascending a great deal) then it's worse.

You can probably ascend along the edges of the pit where the field is non-existent or super weak though.

Nah, it's strongest around the pit, and only weakens when you get away from it. The outpost and Nanachi's home were far away from the pit.

Nobody wants to get involved with anything about Bonedrewd. Not even other White Whistles want to be around him.

Yup, the very edges of the wide areas, like the Inverted Forest and the Seeker Camp, are "safe".

I assume the elevator does get used but not a lot. Itd only be used by purple and white whistles anyway since theyd be the only ones skilled enough to climb back up. You cant use it to get back up because the curse would just kill the passangers.
