FASTEST EXP Method for Amazy Dayzee in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door 

if you use merlee's services, there's a chance of your star points doubling after you win your battle with an amazy dayzee.

You get one every 4 minutes/every 1 in 10 encounters. I just wasted an hour of my life/200+ encounters without finding a single one. We are not the same.

I've literally been scurrying the internet for this information for the past two days😭😭 THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏🙏🙏🙏

This series have been so much fun. Thank you for covering this game

I just realized I never tattled one cause I never found one before Doopliss

(Potentially easier method!) If you start at Creepy Steeple you can run with Yoshi left to hit the Cleft. Same odds of having Amayzee Dayzee, you don’t have to turn sideways, and if you find one you only have to jump in the well to respawn the Cleft. I think the time saved in transit is faster in the long run and you just have to mash left/right till you find one rather than pathing, plus guaranteed short path to respawn.

One additional note is that that cleft right before the steeple can also have an amazee dayzee. If you much prefer to fight all matches and not runaway (whether because of physical limitations where you can’t mash or just a preference), you can fight this cleft, go to the steeple and then down the well (2 areas away) to respawn the cleft to fight again. Plus there’s a health block and save block right at the steeple so no fret of danger if you’re knocked out or run low on health/FP.

THIS IS THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! THANK YOU AUSTIN

Immediately after trying this method my chances to find went way up when previously I was doing 1 encounter then running 1 screen over and back to recounter the same one. Previously took me 20 min to find 1 and his method took 5 min to find 3. Good job Austin.

Another tip is to equip Simplifier for this. It makes running away much easier, and you won't be relying on SP for this grind.

Fun little tidbit if you're doing this early game if you use art attack only on the amazy Daisy and have goombella finish it off with multibonk it's a pretty simple win

I was starting to do some amazy daisy farming and getting no where with it! I’m really glad you posted this video now with this method I can possibly make a lot more progress thank you!

You are the best! Thank youuuuu! I love that you're doing Thousand Year Door content. Your videos are always the BEST video on ANY SUBJECT you are discussing/explaining.

Really appreciate all of your hard work with these videos as always! Thank you sir. Really helped!

I like using sleepy stomp. If it doesnt work the first time i just run and reengage. Gives me time to think thru my moves with less stress from rushing to take it out.

If Danger Mario isn't practical or desired for some reason, the special move Art Attack is also capable of shredding the Amazy Dayzee. You get it after clearing Chapter 4 and you can use the regular encounters to recharge. It's not as efficient, but you can certainly do it. :3

The way I did it is that after chapter 5, I upgraded Bobbery to ultra rank, gave the Power Plus P badge, use bob-ombast to kill every other enemy which also does 8 damage to the amazy dayzee and finish it off with Art Attack where you should be able to make 4 quick circles which should do 12 damage even though the most amount of circles you can make is 5 which does 15 damage.

I used this method back in the original but you took the optimization to another level. Brilliant as always

omg thank you! ❤ saving this for sure!

Was just learning best way to grind these thanks so much for best methods

Austin John Plays - Destroyer of Spoons and Pro Controllers - Master of EXP

Been watching since the “Breath of the Wild” videos several years ago and I’m impressed with the video quality as the years have gone on. Great work and love the research done on each video. Thanks for the great content!

Dude, I’m genuinely surprised that I haven’t subscribed sooner. I thought I already was. The depth and amount of analysis that you put in these videos is truly groundbreaking, especially for the average viewer. Thank you.

I been watching you gotta very long time since sword and shield and the many Pokémon guides you did paper mario 1000 year door was my childhood looking forward to your videos covering it

When you kill an amazee dazee on the first screen, so either encounter spot 1 or 2, it's faster to run back to the left then go through the stump at the end, go into the background, and enter the back woods area then returning, as opposed to going back to the save spot and having to go through the whole ordeal of entering tube mode and squeezing through the thin area on the bush every time, cuts over a minute out of the in-between time on this farm. Also because of that squeeze it is faster to just alternate between encounter spots 2 and 3, rather than going back to check on spot 1 every cycle. on yoshi you can run back and forth between those 2 encounters much faster than if you try to include the third

Finally, a good method to try and max my level. Thanks a ton for the info.

This man Austin is on a roll and nothing is stopping him.

I remember doing a similar kind of grind many years ago also. At some point I thought I had gotten the advice of checking those three Dayzees on those two screens. Except if you encounter an Amazy on the first encounter, I thought we could just continue going through the other two encounters, and continue moving to the left through the tree stump to load another area to respawn the first Dayzee, if we defeated it, and as you mentioned, continue to the screen to right of the first to respawn the third Dayzee if it was defeated. At least that's what I think I remember

I got two Amazee Dayzees on level 97 of the pit, and I DESPERATELY needed that level up!

I did this in the original to farm exp. Getting Merluvlee's Super Charm and having it double the star points is pretty awesome.

Yea i'm currently doing this strategy now myself i wasn't sure if doing the other battles is worth it but like you said they only give one star point so it doesn't really matter if i flee the non gold daisy encounters imo thanks for the tip keep up the good work my friend.

Heya brother any word on a new Zelda or continuation of tears of the kingdom? Have a great day 🙏

Hey Austin do you think there's possibly a way to manipulate or increase the chances further? Like a time of day to farm (since the game uses real time ex. Lottery) Thanks

Thanks for the research! I’m attempting to hit max level so this helps a lot

I started farming right after Keelhaul Key. This is how i did it! >Get your Goombella upgraded to level 2, so she has the Rally Wink ability. ((You can do this after Keelhaul Key, go to Hooktails Castle, Go to the room where you got Cursed for the first and in the spike room next to it is a room with a crack in the wall all the way to the right. Use Bobbery there and get the Up Arrow)) >Get Mario as powerful as you can. As of now i have 3 Power Plus badges and the Jumpman badge equiped ((As someone that played the original TTYD, i can promise you that Jumpman with Spide shield and Ice Power equiped is the most OP build in the game)) >Find an Amazee Daisy >Use Goombella's Rally wink to give Mario 2 turns of attacking -On the first turn, use Power Lift. This will give you around +3 or +4 attack power -On the second turn use Power Bounce. With the set up i have i do 8dmg then 7dmg and then 6dmg. Killing him in 3 jumps. So far this set up helped me in the original and the remake too. I dont even have the best upgrades for the hammer and shoes yet and im level 26 as of writing this. Good luck!!!!

One thing that helps improve the odds is having a Golden Leaf in your inventory! I don’t how reliable the info is because I saw it in a discussion post, but I felt like my odds were better with the item than it was without it!

Edit: I have been corrected slightly on how the game does the math in the replies Something worth noting about the Last Stand badge (this can also tie into the Make Mario Stronger) unlike the Dodge Damage and P-Down D-Up badges and any other defensive badge it that is just straight up halves damage as a whole, not increase your defense, meaning the Last Stand badge also blocks True/Piercing Damage and since that stack 3 of the make the Damage 1/8 4 would make it 1/16 they only take 1BP so for 5 BP you can get 1/32 witch I can’t think of a single enemy in game that comes close to 32 attack even boosted so now everything is 1 damage witch you can block entirely with action commands. That’s not even counting the Close Call badges to avoid all together making it so you can easily sit at 1 HP without fear for Power rush (also 1 BP) Truly Danger Mario is the most broken build in this game and why I love it, level doesn’t make you broken how you build yourself does. Just put eveything in BP on leveling and some FP and your good, forget HP

thanks for the vid

I use double dip and double dip p and get 4 thunderbolts. Takes less bp, you don’t have to get a bunch of power rushes, you can do it as soon as chapter 4 after you get Vivian (maybe even sooner but Vivian with fiery jinx makes it easier to get to floor 70 of the pit of 100 trials to get both double dip badges) plus you get enough coins going that far in the pit to buy a lot of thunderbolts plus the strange sack expands your inventory and you don’t have to worry about landing perfect action command hits since it guarantees 20 damage every time and gets rid of all the other enemies too.

You can also do it just when you are starting chapter 4. You need the Sleepy Stomp medal (that you can buy in rogueport) and the charge medal (that you get in chapter 2) optionally you can use the charge Pal medal, that you get in chapter 3. The idea is to put the Amazy Dazyee to sleep (If it doesn't sleep on the first try, you will have to run away and try again). Once we get the Amazy Dazyee to sleep, we must eliminate the 2 crazy dazyee and charge mario (and some pal optionally) and when the sleep effect ends, we attack with simple moves. This will make that in 1 turn with all the previous charge you can easily eliminate the Amazy Dazyee.

If these videos are popping off I would love to see Austin playing SMRPG sometime

super handy, thanks! fortunally i knew about the dazees, but i noticed they been spawning way less for me until post game. they spawned fine for a while, i got a few levels, then they ceased spawning period until post game im early in the vid. but the game respawns the dayzees when your 2 rooms away. the 1st 2 dayzees respawn when your in the night room right before the steeple gate room where the rocks and the hyper cleft is. the lone dayzee spawns when your in the hay and fallen tree room

Yeah, I love math like this!

Can you do a video on the changes between both versions? Like Hooktail not liking frogs over crickets, the little Jabbie not running the shop in Boggly woods or the Three Shadows vs The Shadow Sirens?

*PRO TIP* unlock fire hammer and when in keyhaul key beat 2 of the flame embers and then flame hammer the other 2 then they respawn and keep repeating or use Vivian to revive the flames

I think a better route through lots of grinding that I've tried is: -Do the area switch between on the 2 daisys -If the one on the left has a amayze daisy then you respawn it by leaving the starting area on the right and immediately going back in without going down the pipe, doing your encounters this way -If you happen to get the amayze daisy in the first area then after beating it you go in paper mode encounter run from the first daisy in the area if it has no amayze daisy, exit the area -If it does have an amayze daisy you kill it and next time there is an amayze daisy on the left and there is no 2nd daisy in the first area then you will just go immediately left -when you come back into the first area you kill the first daisy regardless of if there is an amayzee daisy in the encounter -you do the same to the daisy in area 2 -you proceed towards creepy steeple encountering the cleft, as he can also spawn an amayzee daisy. You kill regardless of if it is there or not. -You enter creepy steeple and back out, this will ensure all enemies are respawned on the trail -You kill the cleft regardless of amayzee daisy on your way back -Once you get back to area 2 you resume your strategy from the beginning I find this to be better as going down the pipe and using tube mode to get to the next area nets less encounters and takes more time than just staying within the forest as I describe here. You also get some bonus xp from extra kills. You will get an extra 4 star points on resets. Alternatively if you get an amayze daisy in the first area you can skip encountering the first daisy in area 1 then killing it after resetting it as I think that technically would be a bit slower than if you were to just immediately go left and kill the daisy and cleft, enter the steeple, kill the cleft again, and then restart the encounter runs between area 1 and 2. Both the paper mode area and tube mode under the tree take considerable time compared to going left into the tree deeper into forest, and into the hole underground, and then into the steeple when looked at from the encounters per minute.

All you have to do is move to another screen after running away from an enemy to make its encounter different the next time. Essentially, you can just alternate between encounters 2 and 3 in the vid, walking left/right between areas since it reloads one each time.

Hey guys I'm not sure if it works as I haven't tested it yet but I was doing some thinking. Your yoshi (I call mine Tyke) hits five times with his standard attack at 1 damage a bounce for a total of five damage. What if you equip him with two Power Rush P and one Mega Rush P. Make sure he is at 1 hp for the fight (the Quickchange badge would help too). All the Rush badges should raise his attack damage to 10 per bounce for a total of 50 for 5 consecutive bounces.

Omg yes I was hoping you would upload this video for exp grinding. I just finished chapter 4 and have been doing it but I’ve been going about it wrong lol. I always thought you had to leave at least two rooms to make the spawns change so I was taking the full route to creepy steeple which is a chore. I’ll try this method now

I still have this game on my cube it was my fav paper Mario game

I am now level 30 because of your help thanks and ton man imagine someone doing this to get to level 99

I like to farm dayzees with the last hypercleft before the steeple. That way, you can also farm charge badges.

I personally just like going through the first 3 rooms of the Shadow Palace before the end

Find Koops’s Shell Slam and Supernova is an automatic win but be prepared to be worn out by constant mashing A

The danger Mario method is the go-to method to defeat almost every enemy in a single hit... I stocked up on power rush badges (I ran the tube game at the pinata parlor), lowered the HP to 5, and equip the multi bounce and power bounce badges. Be sure to stock up on life mushrooms. Once you get the strange sack, you can hold up to 20 items. I currently got 30 power rush badges, just be sure to have a ton of BP... max limit is 99.

I will say that once you get high enough level the start becomes to just abuse the bronze bullet bills in the palace of shadows for faster leveling since they are renewable and fast to defeat so easy way to get the 1 star point. I think the consensus is once the amazy's give 5 or less star points it's faster to switch to the bullets. Of course one problem with leveling too much is that if you get too high then you will eventually break your danger mario cause you are forced to upgrade hp.

If you’ve completed chapter 6 you can do Frankie’s trouble to get the gold membership card for the Pianta Parlor which makes them sell power rushes and power rush p’s.

Amazy Dayzee, the Metal Slime of the game. That's a very good strategy for farming them.

How I farm Amazy Dayzees does not require any danger strats, just a 4 thunder bolt (which does 5 damage a pop) turn from the badges Double Dip and Double Dip P. Requires 6 BP, 8 FP, and 40 coins (the cost of 4 thunder bolts from the shop in west Rougeport). Double Dip P specifically requires you to reach floor 70 of the P100T, (which I did before finishing chapter 3). Simple yet effective way.

As someone who also has 20 years of experience in this game, I can definitely say I've spent a lot of time grinding the Dayzees. One time I even came across 4 of them at once in the Pit of 100 Trials. My big mistake at the time was have the Double Pain badge on, but luckily I survived since I had a lot of HP! Also...you have some real balls fighting these Dazees with only 5 HP.🤣

Other level up methods (slower but basically automatic): equip as many badges that give mario defense up as you can while keeping his attack high enough to kill the bullet bills in Keelhaul key with a jump. Do not equip Chill Out or First Strike. Stand in the firing line of some Bullet Bills and let them ram into you. They explode on contact and will reduce the two enemies down to 1 before the first turn starts. Having a defense high enough to negate their damage is important here. Beat the remaining Bullet Bill. Battle restarts when the next pair of Bullet Bills comes through. This method by the time you're using it to late game grind takes forever but it is basically automatic save for a few inputs needed to perform a jump

There's this Golden leaf that drops from a gold tree inside of the castle building past the creepy steeple. I heard that it may boost the chances for Amazy Dayzee to spawn by simply holding on in your inventory before an encounter. This might just be a myth, but I don't see why not try and make your odds better at the cost of a single item space.

If you do not make 20 damage with jump you can use the Art Attack Star Power and focus on the Amazy Dayzee, I have manage to make up to 18 damage and then finish it with in my partners turn

I actually managed to defeat the dayzee even though my attack was WAAAY below 20. By using Sleepy Stomp, I was able to keep the dayzee from running away and take it out.

On my successful pit run (defeated hooktail) I fought two Amazee Daisee's I was pretty overleveled so most things in the pit gave very little XP but the Daisee's still gave almost half a level both times

This method works well until around level 50-60 then you're better off farming bullet bills

ok so i was just doing this method as i was watching this and i got three amazy dayzees in a row. 1 in 1000 chance and that awesome. I also noticed something that might be wrong or just has limitations. i am level 67 (im trying to hit max level for completion) and one amazy dayzee gives me 18 star points so i dont know if the math is just wrong or if after level 50 the formula changes. lastly amazy dayzees can hold ultra shrooms

A better method for spamming A than using a spoon and potentially causing aesthetic damage, I put my thumb nail under my index finger nail and slide then back and forth between the A and B button. Works very well, and for Supernova too if you decide to drop that bomb on some enemies!

How does the shiny charm affect the spawn rate?

Austin said this calls 4 a pokemon Shiny hunter. 😂😂😂

It's worth noting that (at least in the original) Amazy Dayzees are 50% resistant to sleep (with them being heavily resistant to most other status effects), so putting them to sleep is something you can try

Five laps in, amazy dayzee encounters 0. This is pain. Carpel tunnel setting in.

May I please ask - Where did you farm the power rush badges? I haven’t had any luck finding them.

I need to get more money the only one I know is the old 2 Coin Profit Method and the old one for this two since I played the original gamecube many years ago and thank for making a new guide for Amazy Dayzee :)

What if you hit first strike, would that do anything to "Despawn" the amazy daisy?

If you want to do this lower in the story like chapter 5, just equip a power plus P and use yoshis ground pound. And use the red crystal star only on the amazyee daisy

That thumbnail. Poor daisy 😂

Great love from the fishes

How do you get Mario to get some many attack points when he jumps in so confused

I'm curious what the 3rd best method would be after the pit of 100 trials... That might just be pure masochism though, i doubt it's even worth even theory crafting since it'd just be how fast you can beat a battle for a single star point

For those who are too Skittish to use Danger Strats, I have a 'safer' method. Though it does have a few more Perquisites. 1: Upgrade Flurry Twice (This is important) 2: Have at LEAST Four Star Power for Art Attack. (you get it in chapter 4) It's better to have more (I currently have 7) but at least four should be fine. Six Would Be Best Step 1: Use Austin's Method to encounter your Crazy Daisy: Unchanged from Austin's Method. Step 2: Mario's Turn, Use Art Attack, but ONLY focus on the Crazy Daisy, make sure you get it down to at least 6 health. You should be able to with Art Attack if you're fast enough and ignore the other enemies. (Key word AND, don't go for the normal enemies or you won't get near enough attacks in with Art Attack) Step 3: On Flurries Turn, Use Lip Lock on the near dead Crazy Daisy. Lip Lock is un blockable (except by those spike guys, with the spikes that jut out) and ignores defense, and does 6 damage when she is upgraded twice. The Action Command is a lot easier to do than her Gale force and once you max it out it locks it in.

Oh, I knew it! I already did forget about that enemy, Amazy Dayzee because I haven't use appeal to see enemies' HP, but I already know where is that enemy because that's where I fought fake Mario, the one who stole Mario's identity.😮😀

what is the quickest way to get alot of Power Rush badges?

Do you lose the items you get in the pit if you die?

What badges did you use?

Can you make a guide about badge grinding too?

One thing I did, was farm in Glitz Pit. When you face the fuzzies, you keep the green one alive. Keep killing the ones it spawns, and leave one alive. Takes a bit of time, but you can get a bunch of levels this way really quickly. 😁

Give Mario and his Bobbery 2 Power Plus each. Equip Mario with 2 Power Bounce and 1 All or Nothing badge. And use Bob-ombast. Mario does 12 Damage and Bobbery does 8.

I doubt this is as efficient but I have heard grinding bullet bills in chapter 8 is a good way to grind exp. Maybe bc it is a consistent way to get infinite enemies. I haven’t done the math myself. Why not the bullet bills in chapter 5? That wasn’t mentioned. Maybe they are fired faster in chapter 8.

Where did you get your shirt from

Funny I was actually doing this until 4am last night and increased my level probably 11 times lol

Amazy Dayzee is also found in the Pit of 100 Trials, on the last 10 floors randomly.

Huh, 10% chance is it? I must have insane luck when grinding for Amazy dayzee specifically because I feel like I see him every 2-4 encounter with those 3 crazy dayzees and yet I was using a slightly worse method than this one (because I was using my own knowledge).

So does anyone know if Lv 99 is still the Max? And if, can you still levle up more? (Just that it always stays at 99)

Will it also work in the original game?

If you're using a Turbo controller to flee, it's helpful to deactivate it before jumping on the Amazy Dayzee. The turbo was messing up my action commands.

This was more or less the method I used to grind Mario to Lv 80 last week encounter the lone dayzee on the left screen if no gold flee then go to the right screen and check the dayzee on the right screen ignoring the one on the bottom of the right screen if no gold go back to the left screen. Repeat until gold one appears once I got the gold if it was on left screen Id go 2 screens to the right to respawn the dayzee and if the gold was on the right Id go 2 screens to the left to respawn it

Am I doing something wrong? I spent 1 hour grinding and only found one Amazee... what gives? Do they stop spawning at a certain level?

Based on the info at the end and 12 minutes per level, has anyone calculated how long it takes to just do super-easy encounters for 1 XP per fight? That requires 100 encounters per level but there should be at least 1-2 areas where you can do this relatively quickly and infinitely. With Flower Finder you should be able to just 1-shot everything with a Quake Hammer or Multibounce and just grind 1 XP at a time but I don't know the optimal area to do this so you can encounter lots of enemies and never jump through hoops to respawn them-I have a feeling the Moon is probably the best or maybe Keehaul Keys or Hooktail's Castle. EDIT: Also if you have the right badge setup you should be absolutely trouncing anything the Pit of Trials can throw at you so if you can Skip to Floor 50 that might not be so bad if you get >1 XP per fight.

How do you glide with the paper airplane part to get to the door
