-The Dragon always spawns in the middle column fifth row from the top
-The Dragon Egg is always adjacent to the Dragon orthogonally or diagonally
-The Wizard is always on the edge of the map surrounded by five purple slimes. It is possible for one of those slimes to spawn in the corner of the map.
-The lovers Romeo and Juliet spawn in the same row "mirrored" along the middle column. They can also spawn in corners.
-Why talk about corners so much though? Well, the Mine King always spawns in a random corner of the map, and determining which of the four corners has him is very important in 365/most health runs.
-Each of the four Guardians (7 health enemies) spawns in a region of the map divided by the Dragon's row and column. Therefore, Guardians cannot spawn in the Dragon's row and column and no two Guardians can appear in the same "sector" of the map.
-All Minotaurs and Chests on the map are adjacent to each other. This pattern can be helpful in finding the Mimic, although the Mimic can spawn adjacent to Minotaurs along with their Chests.
-Gargoyles and Walls spawn in orthogonally-adjacent pairs. Gargoyles in pairs will also face towards one another. The pairs of Gargoyles can be adjacent to one another while the walls cannot.
-If a Rat is in the same column as the Rat King, it will be sitting. Otherwise it will be standing and will "face" toward the column where the Rat King resides.
-To find the Gnome, the player must simply uncover every blank tile on the map.
-The beginning tile with the blue orb or whatever it's called cannot spawn in the outer two rows/columns of the map such that it will always reveal its full area when interacting with it.
-On the other hand, the acroll that reveals a random 3x3 area on the map can reveal an area centered on the map's edge, making it less useful.
-Everything else is random bullcrap go
Feel free to correct me in the comments or add additional information. Hope this is helpful!
I think the theoretical maximum is 13 hearts remaining. This is pretty unrealistic though as you have to find the 3 gold treasure chests + the egg + the elf before using your first Heart Scroll. The elf would be nearly impossible to find by this point.
A more realistic maximum is probably: a) find the 3 chests + egg before using your first Heart Scroll, and b) finding the elf at the same time as you kill the Mine King & all mines. In that case the maximum would be 11 hearts remaining.
Yeah I got lucky hunting for the minotaurs and finding the gold bearing ones first! Perhaps the right question would be what's the worst luck you can have and if the 365 score is still possible in that case. It probably has already been calculated to be true.
I've used the cheat code to max it, and yea, it's 13 hearts. Been playing this game almost daily for 9+ to 10+ months now (depending on weither you count v.1 or not) and 9 IS a very good score. Best i've ever gotten without cheating was 10, and I only did it once.
The real shockers, the best games as it were, are when you have exactly 3 hearts left and there is exactly one bricks left, skin of the teeth, so satisfying

Nice game!
Managed to get 365 points with 9 hearts remaining (without resorting to luck). What's the maximum?
I was super curious about the same question.

9 is a really good score!
Thank you for the info! Nice ^^
