Limbo Complete Guide: December 1 to 15, 2023

New Limbo stages has arrived for the period of 1st December 2023 – 15th December 2023 and DotGG is here to help you get through all six stages!

As usual, Limbo resets twice a month, and we're here again to equip you with a guide for conquering December's first-half Limbo. Big thanks to @shirofm5476 for sharing his wisdom on how to tackle Stages 5 and 6 – be sure to check out his channel and give his Limbo gameplay videos a thumbs-up! After dissecting each stage's details, we'll dive into optimal team compositions and wrap up with some practical tips to guide you through this early-December challenge.

Universal Limbo Stage Rules (December 1st - 16th)

Ally: After casting a 1-target Ultimate, gain Moxie +2.

While single-target Ultimate characters will benefit, this rule doesn't significantly impact the next two weeks. Stages I-IV are relatively easy for most players, so we've only included video references for Stages V and VI. However, the team compositions discussed later are applicable to all stages for this Limbo period.

Wrapping Things Up

We hope that the gameplay videos and our breakdowns can help you conquer Early-December's Limbo. While playing as a completely free-to-play player, you can still overcome the endgame content of Reverse: 1999, though it may require significant trial and error and some strategic preparation. Once again, we extend our sincere gratitude to @shirofm5476 for uploading his Limbo gameplay footage to his channel, which we used as a valuable reference.

Thank you, dear readers, for choosing DotGG to provide you with the best strategies and guides before tackling Limbo Stages EX I through EX VI.
