Daily Run
There are two time-limited game options. For 24 hours, everyone will get the same seed for these. They reset at midnight UTC.
Daily Run
The Daily Run is the 2nd option in the pause menu. You get one chance to play it, after which it is un-selectable (greyed-out).
- NOTE: Sometimes the option will not start correctly - to verify, open the pause menu again after starting the run, to confim that the option is now greyed-out; if it is not, then click it again.
The starting loadout is slightly different than usual:
- The wand in slot 1 is will use a random low level attack spell
- The wand in slot 2 will contain a different area affecting spell, often a Firebolt or Rain Cloud, among others.
- The flask has a wider range of possible liquids.
Daily Run wins do not count towards win-streaks, but also won't cancel an existing streak.
All unlockable spells are temporarily unlocked during daily runs. Locked spell spawning in the world in a daily run will not unlock them - you do still need to complete the usual quest/kill to permanently unlock it. Omega Black Hole and ??? (Spell) are only unlocked by them spawning in the world, for that reason these cannot be unlocked in a daily run.
Daily Practice Run
The Daily Practice Run is the 4th option in the pause menu. You can re-play this seed as much as you want each day.
- NOTE: Sometimes the option will not start correctly, giving you a seemingly-different starting set - restarting the run will usually fix this, but sometimes you need to start a normal "New game" run first, and then re-start the Daily Practice Run.
It will start you at a Holy Mountain, with a set of perks, wands, spells, and gold already "collected". Sometimes you will start at the entrance to a Holy Mountain, and sometimes at the exit.
The starting conditions will sometimes follow a theme or synergize in interesting ways, such as the perks Glass Cannon, Levitation Trail and Homing Shots, which all synergize together. There are 19 different perk setups.
Error recovery
If you experience an error, the daily run can technically be reset.
Quit the game, and go to the folder
%UserProfile%\AppData\LocalLow\Nolla_Games_Noita\save00\stats
and delete the file:
_last_daily_played.xml
then restart the game.
Trivia
Previously, the Daily Run would change your seed to the current date. (Ex: "20190925"), and allow you to replay the same world design multiple times.
