Introduction to Guide
This guide will mainly help those who need to collect 170 lore pages.
But people who prestige and would like to recollect artifacts and gold can do this as well.
AGAIN. THIS IS NOT A FULL RUN. YOU WILL NOT COLLECT THE RELIC.
Settings and Map
You will be doing this SOLO because playing by yourself will ensure a new lore page everytime.
If you play in a group or with a duo. The lore page will be random instead.
Set the Map to:
SMALL - CURSED SAND RUINS with BRUTAL difiiculty.

Plus modifiers to:
Medkits OFF
Blessing of Osiris OFF
Spirit Interaction Frequency LOWER
Locked Chests ON

Timed - 6 minutes (Because I want the extra time to recheck)
or 3 minutes if you're fast enough
OFF if you don't want to rush or do want to find out the Mejai

Starting Health Points - 66
to make it + 70%
you can change it to 33 or 100 depends on you.
Equipment and WHY
The most important equipment you need to unlock is the TNT
For basic starters. Take the Torch, Camera, Flashlight, and TNT.

Depending on your inventory belt level and the rooms spawned in the map.
You can also bring the Tablet and Metal Detector.
TNT
The reason for TNT is this breakable wall.
This map will always and I mean ALWAYS have this one.
and inside you will always get 1 artifact, 1 lore page and lots of gold.
Metal Detector
You will need this to cross the SPIKE FLOOR ROOM
Tablet
This will be used to cross the the SPIKE PIT ROOM.
Artifacts and Lore Pages
The most artifacts you can collect each run is 2. Unlucky if you only get 1.
The most lore pages you can collect each run is 4. Unlucky if you only get 2.

This counts having the TNT and breaking the wall. If you don't have that...
Then the possible count for artifact is 0 to 1 and lore pages 1 - 3.

That is why its important to have the TNT on hand to ensure 1 artifact and 1 lore page each time.
Levers and extra Gold
Extra gold depends on the map. If it spawns the Prison / Treasury LEVERS.
You can open them even in solo, as long as the 2 levers are outside the inner tomb.
If you only find 1 lever then the other one is inside the inner tomb.
You need to find out what's the Mejai to unlock that.
It usually happens for the Prison one, and I just leave it locked.
It's up to you if you want to try and figure out the Mejai but since you are on a timer with the modifier I suggested for +70%. You can try and turn the TIMER OFF for next time instead.
Tips and Tricks
A picture of the mummy adds 5 XP
Having the Marker Flags can help navigate the map.
Especially if you get lost easily or don't want to get side tracked with timer on.
The way to do this is that you want to put 1 flag before entering a tunnel.
Then always check the right hand side and when you get to a dead end.
Make sure to put another flag when you leave the room to know its been checked and done.
REWARDS
So all you need to do is look for the lore pages and artifacts.
You don't need to retrieve the relic. Just leave before timer runs out.
Here are some of the end screen rewards for doing this run.
Ending Note
If you want to easily grind for the Lore pages, then you can follow this guide I made.

If you want to easily collect the artifacts and maybe just have a chill time collecting some gold along the way, then you can follow this guide.

If your brave enough to collect the relic, out run the Mejai and find the blue lever to escape... Then this is the not guide you need, fortunately, you're way better than me.

Hopefully this guide helps those who need it. I have 100% forewarned and that's why I want to share this so that you'll be able to do so as well. CHEERS and GOODLUCK!

[SHOUTOUT to my friend Anonymous™˟, when I told him to do this, he said it worked. That's why I got inspired to make this guide for others out there struggling with lore pages]

If you are not collecting the relic, the Timed modifier doesn't do anything.
This is demonstrated in your screenshots, where you start with 70% bonus from modifiers, but the summary screen shows 58%, because the +12% from the Timed modifier is not counting.
