In the Afterbirth update, a lot of things changed greatly, requiring a completely new thread in order to list them. That way, people who play on pre-afterbirth versions can also use the old guide without having to slog through this one.
If you're looking for the pre-Afterbirth guide, click here
{NOTE: PRE-AFTERBIRTH SAVES WILL NOT WORK. DUE TO A CODE WIPE, ONLY AFTERBIRTH SAVES WORK IN AFTERBIRTH VERSIONS}
Map description: Grind-heavy Korean RPG, with the vast majority of things requiring high amounts of stats and some things (such as areas) having level requirements.
NOTE: All stat requirements are for total stats, and don't include the stats gained from items (green stats). STR + AGI + INT = total stats.
HOW TO USE STATS
In order to use your stat points, you have to type a command corresponding with your stat you want to raise. You can choose a specific amount, or just type the stat and use all your wood on that one stat.
-str
-int
-agi
EXAMPLE: 20,000 wood, use 500 on str. "-str 500"
In order to don't click me stats, you also have to use a command. the -greed command has been altered to use all your gold, or a specified amount, to give you wood /100.
Example: 10048 gold, -greed would take all of the gold and give 100 wood. -greed 10000 would only take 10000 gold and leave the 48, and still give you 100 wood.
Starting job: Wisp, level 1 (click to select)
Job 1/Tier 1: Angel/Devil, level 30.
To obtain tier 1, upon reaching level 30, walk into Illidan/Helper Luchifare at the spawn. You will be teleported to another part of the map with Angel Soul and Devil Soul enemies. Defeat either of these and they will drop an item that allows you to become them as your first tiering up. They will take a few tries.
Use the item by having it in your inventory and using the level 30 skill.
Aside from their skillsets and what Hidden Character they can become, there is little difference between the two as they can both upgrade along the same paths at the Level 200 job change.
They both have a chance of dropping a Human Soul item, which allows you to become the Hidden Character Human. Humans can upgrade along the same path as Angel or Devil characters, or aim for the Hidden Character Cloud. More explanation in Hidden Characters section further down.
Job 2/Tier 2: Level 200, 8 choices
Upon reaching level 200, you can change into a dedicated class. To do this, you enter the portal in the spawn base labelled Awakening, and kill the Devil of Awakening Ariser in the area you're teleported to. He has a chance of dropping 0-6 items, including duplicates, all of which will change your class and make you a Tier 2 character.
Note that he has a Stomp skill that he uses at the beginning of every fight. It will kill you if it hits you. I strongly suggest rushing him, then backing away as he uses his Stomp, then begin fighting him in order to have the highest chance of success.
The items and their respective classes are as follows
Spoiler:
Nightmare {item is labelled --} is a DPS character, well rounded, and among the best DPS characters in the game. Mostly active skills.
Slaughter {item is labelled -Slaughter-} is a DPS character, with high damage output and among the highest DPS in the game. Considered an off-tank class, it can take a decent amount of damage while dishing it out, but not recommended as a party's tank. Mostly passive skills.
Revenge {item is labelled -Revenge-} is a DPS/Tank character, with skills that can either increase tanking capabilities or increase DPS capabilities. Mostly active skills.
As of Afterbirth Zeta Fix 4, Revenge can use both his Q and his R at the same time. Previously you had to use the R to be able to use Q, due to a bug.
Disgust {item is labelled -Disgust-} is a Tank character, who has the worst DPS in the game. Will almost never die, especially in later tiers. In T2, has a weak passive Lifesteal, passive health boost, Cleave (does more damage than to your main target - use this to your advantage against bosses!), and two active attack spells. At T3, the weak passive Lifesteal changes to give you health whenever you get hit.
Lust {item is labelled -Lust-} is a Summoner character, who has decent DPS and is very fragile. Can summon a Permanent minion that works as a great tank and does good DPS at later levels and tiers.
Death {item is labelled -Death-} is a Summoner/Mage character, who has decent DPS and is very fragile. Can summon tanks with varying life spans, some being permanent. Will lose summons at Tier 4.
Blessing {item is labelled -Blessing-} is the only Support character, who has okay DPS and is fragile. Can buff any allies and heal them. Highly useful at later tiers.
Thirst {item is labelled -Thirst-} is a Tank/DPS character, who has decent DPS and is a decent tank. Has lifesteal passives, and some actives.
After deciding a character, pick up their respective item and use your level 200 skill.
Upon obtaining level 200, whether you Tiered or not, you can now go to the Level 200 area. To access this area, go to the portal at the bottom of the spawn town and proceed south. If this is the first time someone has been there, a large but relatively weak foe will guard the area. The next portal is inaccessible until this foe is dead.
Job 3/Tier 3: Level 1000, 10,000 total stats.
Spoiler:
After reaching the listed requirements, you have to obtain three items in order to Tier Up. The first is Samuel's Blessing, dropped by Prophet Samuel in the level 900 area. The second is Fallen Angel's Blessing, dropped by fallen angels in the level 900 area. The last is Lucifer's Blessing, dropped by Thousand Faces Luchifare in the Luchifare's Trial area. After obtaining these three items, use the -create command with all three in your inventory to obtain Lucifer's Approval. With Lucifer's Approval in your inventory, go to the church in the northern section of the third town (teleporter area). Move all the way to the center of the black circle at the northernmost section of the church, and enjoy your Tier 3 character.
TIPS FOR BEATING LUCHIFARE: Just like the Devil of Awakening Ariser, Luchifare will begin all fights with a Stomp. Treat it the same as Devil of Awakening Ariser. Things to note as well are his skills. At 75% HP, he will oneshot you. He uses this skill once. At 50% HP, he will summon a circle of clones. They won't ever move, and after around 10 minutes or so they will be gone. At 25% HP, he will gain 444,444 in all stats and his attack speed will go up. This lasts until he dies.
Only Tier 2 characters can enter this area. As of the first Afterbirth update, you can no longer receive outside assistance from people attacking Luchifare; you can still receive buffs from a Blessing, however. Without a T4 Blessing's help, expect to die. A lot. If you have multiple people who need Lucifer's Blessing, then partying up makes the fight much easier. Remember to stick around and help them get theirs!
BECOME HIDDEN CHARACTERS/HIDDEN TIER 3
Spoiler:
Human Hidden Character: Cloud has one of the more tricky ways of Tiering up; he requires a level 2,000 Human, and to kill Marble (first boss) in the level 1 area. After that, you'll be teleported to another area to fight a much stronger version of Marble. This Marble's fight is tricky, because the way it works is you have to hit him 100 times before you get hit 100 times. At different points, he'll summon minions to help him do damage to you. USE YOUR STUNS, OR YOU WILL FAIL.
Cloud has above average DPS, above average tanking ability, and has actives and passives. Some people will tell you he sucks, some people will tell you he's great. Form your own opinion.
STRATEGIES FOR CLOUD FIGHT: You should have access to a single active skill. This is a stun, and should be used as often as you can. Use it and attack until the stun runs out, as he hits faster than you can. As of the first Afterbirth update, you can now try this as many times as you want per game; it resets each time, however.
Angel Hidden Character: Dark Ranger (Sitael) has a much easier time tiering up. It requires a level 2,000 Angel, and to go to the spot where you fight Sitael for the Tier 3 flag upgrade - Teleporter Devil Viraju's middle option. After going up to the circle at the top, you'll be teleported to another area for a Trial, similarly to Cloud. However, you just have to kill this guy. If you die, it resets and you have to try again.
Sitael has very high DPS, is one of the more fragile characters, and has almost all actives.
Devil Hidden Character: Sephiroth has probably the hardest time tiering up. Requirements are level 2,000 Demon, same as the other hiddens. After meeting the requirements, walk into the black area to the right of Arthas' ramp. You will be teleported to a Trial.
Sephirot has high DPS, very high tanking ability due to gaining health when he gets hit, and some people argue he's the best character in the game.
WRATH
How to get Wrath: You need a Wisp with 500,000 total stats. After getting that, you need to walk into the Altar of Wrath in the Paimon area - if it's destroyed, walk onto the spot it usually rests. That's it.

BOSS TIPS BELIAL AND ONWARD
Belial
Spoiler:
Simple fight. Has 10 mana max, uses 1 every time he uses his skill. Once he reaches 1 mana, his next skill will do massive damage and will very likely kill you. When he has 2 mana, run and leave a summon (such as pentagram summon) to take the hit. His mana will be restored to max after he uses that skill. Repeat until dead.
Paimon
Spoiler:
Paimon's a huge pain to deal with. His four Altars give him his power. Altar of Sloth is his Thorns, Altar of Wrath is his Damage, Altar of Gluttony is his Lifesteal, Altar of Pride is his Mana. When he has max mana, he'll use a skill that instantly kills anyone in a huge area and does damage to his Altars. Suggested course of action is to break Sloth at the very least, preferably Gluttony and Envy as well. Or you could choose Wrath and Envy, as his Lifesteal will be nerfed to the extreme with most of his Damage gone.
Sitael can help with their Beam skill in weakening the altars, or in sniping Paimon from the bottom of his area.
In Afterbirth Zeta Fix 4 and earlier, Wrath can enter Paimon's area and slaughter him.
You'll need 6 of his Spirit in total.
Molloch
Spoiler:
Rather straightforward fight. Has a Stomp skill he uses every so often. When he stops attacking, run away to evade it. If he continues to not attack after he Stomps, run as far away as you can. The 'Mega Stomp' will kill you otherwise.
Anyone too close to someone being attacked will be hit by Splash Damage far stronger than the damage being done to the one being attacked. Better to have someone strong weaken him, then go in to kill him yourself.
Satanachia
Spoiler:
Annoying fight. As his health gets lower, Stones will spawn. They give him buffs and cannot be hurt. Upon reaching 25%, the Stone of Sin will spawn and fully heal him while killing everyone in the area after ~four seconds. If you don't kill him in those four seconds, break the Stone of Sin. It gives the buffs of all three of the other stones, and he'll be greatly weakened by its being destroyed.
If you choose to break the stone, hug the sides while approaching it. This will allow you to stay out of his aggro range. If you have a summon, once you're in the top corner, send one down near the bottom corner of the black area Satanachia stands on then all the way to the entrance of the area. He will follow the summon and leave you free to break the stone for a time.
If you choose not to break the stone, keep on as you were before the Stone of Sin spawned. Keep in mind he will be far more powerful, though.
Lilith
Spoiler:
Lilith is a long, drawn-out fight. She has a 38,500,000 Mana Shield that takes 20,000 damage per hit. After reaching 50% HP, she gets another 38,500,000 Mana Shield and doubles attack speed. Reaching 30% HP causes her to use a skill that Instantly Kills all players in her arena. If she's incapable of using skills (Stunned, Chained, etc.) she won't use it. After using the skill, all players will constantly take damage in her arena.
There are two approaches to fighting Lilith.
Approach 1: Beat on her constantly. She'll die eventually.
Approach 2: Use magic damage to kill her. Magic damage bypasses the Mana Shield, and doesn't trigger her skills. Note that any physical damage taken will heal her to 100% HP if her HP is higher than 50%, or to 50% if her HP is lower than 50%. Disgust is the best character to do this due to their Ultimate doing Massive Magic Damage and being more than capable of tanking her for the time needed.
Adam
Spoiler:
Can only be summoned if Vassago has not been spawned and if Lilith is dead. Can not cast spells in his arena. When his Mana reaches 100, he will use a Stomp skill. This happens immediately after spawning, and he regains mana every time he attacks. At ~50% HP, he activates a shield similar to Abel's, causing massive Thorns damage. You're able to use spells while the mana shield is up. At 25% HP, he becomes invulnerable and pulls the shield up again, says some things in Korean, and then despawns; 100% spirit droprate.
Baal
Spoiler:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Baal's arena can only be entered 12 times in one games, unless a T4 Blessing enters it. This causes the maximum entries to increase to 24.
Baal's defense was buffed to 10,000 in this version.
Baal will instantly kill everyone in the arena if anyone has less than 25% HP, or if he's attacked with More Than 80 Mana or Less Than 10 Mana and isn't stunned.
At ~50% HP, Baal will use his Explosion skill, as though the above Instant Kill requirements were met. Also instakills if he's attacked with more than 70 mana and less than 20.
Upon reaching 10% HP, Baal will heal back to 50%. Only occurs once.
COMMANDS
-kill causes you to instantly die, same as using Hold Position five times in one life.
-create combines items.
-cam 150-300 changes camera distance, adding "fix" without quotes will make it stay at that distance until you change it with another command.
-dice rolls for a number between 1 and 100. Some say this increases droprate if used while the boss you're fighting is below 10% HP. Otherwise used to decide who gets boss drops if more than one person wants it.
-clean removes most items on the ground after one minute.
-damage on is a command that should never be used in an online game. It causes every attack to show how much damage it does and causes Extreme Lag.
-damage off is a command that should always be used if someone uses -damage on.
-str uses all your wood to don't click me strength
-agi uses all your wood to don't click me agility
-int uses all your wood to don't click me intelligence
-greed uses all your gold to don't click me (gold /100) wood
-save creates a load code for your character. Screencap it or write it down, you'll need it.
Sigil of Baal Solomon: Upgrade to Baal Flag while holding Baal's drop.
ESC key opens Storage window. First button is to Store Items, second button is to Retrieve Items, and bottom button is Cancel.
MAX LEVEL: 2001, cannot save. Walk to Eve in Spawn Base to revert to 2000 and be able to save.
MAX STATS: Each individual stat has a limit of 999,999, causing the Max Total Stat limit to be 2,999,997.
Thank you for reading, and I hope it helped. If you have information not in this guide, please share it and it will be added to the guide.

For Wrath tier 4 you need to get his class weapon Garvok (requires 2mil base stats) and return to the Wrath Altar in Paimon boss area, where you turned into Wrath tier 3 aswell.
Since the Afterbirth versions, for the secret characters you won't need stats as tier 2 human/angel/devil anymore.
You will need lvl2000 and completion of their bossfights on the locations u mentioned in the guide.
Wrath is an exeption to this, he has his own (farm-intensive) requirements.

thanks! so long as things continue to change, i'll continue to keep the guide updated with known changes! still need to get post-Mephisto item information on here, as well.
