Endless Mode is one of the most challenging and rewarding ways to experience Rayadillo. Unlike the main campaign, there are no checkpoints, no safety nets — just you, your skills, and an ever-increasing wave of enemies determined to stop you. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to survive as long as possible.
What is Endless Mode?
Endless Mode becomes available after you complete the first chapter of the main story. Once unlocked, you can access it from the main menu under Modes → Endless. The goal is simple: survive as many waves as you can. Each wave gets progressively harder, introducing new enemy types, faster spawn rates, and stronger variants of enemies you've already faced.
Your score is calculated based on the number of waves survived, enemies defeated, and how much health you have remaining at the end of each wave. A bonus multiplier kicks in after wave 10, so pushing past that threshold is where high scores really start to climb.
Picking Your Loadout
Before each Endless run you'll get to choose your starting loadout. This is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Here's a quick breakdown of what works well:
Balanced Build
A medium attack weapon paired with a shield item gives you the most flexibility. You won't hit the highest scores with this build but it's forgiving and great for learning enemy patterns in the later waves.
Aggressive Build
Maximum attack items with no defensive gear. High risk, high reward. This build can carry you past wave 20 if you're comfortable with the enemy timings, but a single mistake can end your run early.
Defensive Build
Stacking health and shield items makes the early waves very easy but you may struggle to clear enemies fast enough once wave 15 introduces the armored variants. Pair at least one strong attack item with your defenses.
Wave Breakdown
Waves 1–5 — Standard enemies, slow and predictable. Use this time to get comfortable with your controls and build your resource count.
Waves 6–10 — Enemy speed increases. You'll start seeing ranged enemies for the first time. Prioritize taking them out before melee enemies close the gap.
Waves 11–15 — Elite variants appear. These have more health and deal significantly more damage. Save your special ability for these.
Wave 16 onwards — Spawns become relentless. Focus on staying mobile and never letting enemies surround you.
Scoring High
The score multiplier increases by 0.5x every 5 waves and resets if you take damage three times in a single wave. Playing clean — taking as little damage as possible — is far more valuable than rushing through waves quickly.
Between waves you'll be offered a choice of three upgrades. Always prioritize anything that improves your movement speed. Being fast matters more than raw damage in the later waves because avoiding hits preserves your multiplier.
Final Tips
Endless Mode rewards patience and pattern recognition more than anything else. Your first few runs will likely end early — that's completely normal. Watch where you're dying, adjust your build, and try again. Most players find a dramatic improvement between their fifth and tenth run once the enemy patterns start to feel familiar.
Good luck, and let us know on TikTok how far you've made it. We love seeing the community push the limits of what's possible in Endless Mode.
