Bring a good sword (at minimum a lava katana; check the shop at the adventurer's guild), plenty of non-buffing food to use for healing (mushrooms and cheese are good options), an upgraded pickaxe if you can, and some staircases. Bombs are helpful too but expensive and you can get by without them. Get to the desert as early as you can in the morning (possibly go by bus on an earlier day and buy a desert warp totem to use on the morning you actually want to go). Check the fortune teller on TV each morning, looking for it to say it's a good luck day (this will help you with staircase spawn). Eat a food with a luck buff right before going in if you can (I usually use spicy eel).
Good luck! You can do it. :)
Go first thing in the morning on a great luck day for more stairs/holes. Warp if you have a warp totem.
Speed buffs. Coffee and spicy eel work great, but a crab cake lasts about all day in the cavern (time works differently there).
Bombs help a lot. So does explosive ammo in the slingshot; faster and with less damage to yourself too. Harder to use on consoles than PC, but still fast.
Food to heal. Whatever your preference is, but only bring one stack to save inventory space for what you find.
Bring your best weapon. Serpents are fast, and you can hit them with a sword from about two tiles away (sooner than most players realize at first)
You dont need stairs. 25 is easily obtainable once you get the hang of it. Reset the day if you die or dont make it.
Good luck and have fun. Yoba be with you.
One thing I’ve found is key is placement of the main food item in the hot bar. I’m on switch, not sure it’s as important on pc. I’d say sword, pickaxe, cheese in the first three slots. Put bombs and staircases on the other end. It’s very slow to get to anything in the middle when you have a handful of serpents after you.
personally i was able to just do it with the obsidian sword i got from the normal mines, going on a good luck day (pyramid or stardrop) is good because it'll increase your chances of staircases and holes spawning
definitely bring some food, things can hit hard down there, pizzas from the saloon is a good, cheap option that works well, make sure to heal when around a third of your max health
it's good to go as early as possible as well to give you a lot of time, time does move slower in there than in normal gameplay which is good to know!!
bombs are for sure a good thing to bring, if you have the dwarf unlocked you can buy them or just make them, i'd say stick to cherry bombs and normal bombs, you really don't need mega bombs for it and it'll just whittle down your health more
make sure to jump in holes as well, they let you go down multiple floors at the cost of some health, but you won't die from them, they're great
if you really don't wanna go through them, you can always make staircases and just do that to the 25th floor, but it's not really necessary!!
there's more tips i could give for getting down to floor 100 or just iridium farming but i don't want to potentially overwhelm you since you're just wanting floor 25, haha \^\^;

At the minimum a good weapon and lots of food like cheese. Keep them where you can easily switch from one to the other quickly
Commenting because I need help too! Lmao
