PainCO
Painful Combat Only (PainCO) is a community created Game Mode, where a player's Character is only allowed to use combat skills in
mode. This means the player will only be allowed to level

. Furthermore, the player is not allowed to use the
, and upgrades are illegal. Not only this, but you are not allowed to kill any 
Plants.
Route
Due to these limitations, the player will have no easy source of food or regeneration until they manage to sustainably kill 
Sweaty Monsters.
Because of this, the player will need to grind enough experience to reduce the enemy's hit chance greatly. This can be done by hitting enemies, without actually killing them. Since you're at risk of dying yourself, you must have a faster attack speed than the enemy, land a hit, and run away.
This can in theory be done starting a route at 
Golbin in order to get a 
Bronze Battleaxe, in order to reduce the attack speed to 3.1s. Note that you can kill up to around 3 Golbins per run, until you die. The chance of getting the battleaxe is 1 in 27.
Once you manage to get yourself your first weapon, hopefully with some health left, you may start farming experience at the 
Confused Pirate which has an attack speed of 3.1s, by repeatedly starting combat, and running away in the 0.5s gap until the pirate hits you back.
Eventually, you will be able to consistently get food from Sweaty Monsters, and from that point on it is similar to HCCO, except you will not be able to get any Damage Reduction until way later.
