To surpass 100,000 points in Dome Keeper's Endless Prestige mode while playing as the Beastmaster, prioritize mining mobility and companion utility early, delay prestige rocket launches until your defenses can reliably handle late-wave scaling, and save Cobalt strictly for emergency dome repairs.

Early Mining Setup and Companion Utility

The opening phase determines whether your resource economy can keep pace with wave scaling. In the first five waves, focus on digging directly beneath the dome using standard vertical shafts or checkerboard layouts. All early Iron must go into essential keeper mobility, carry capacity, and base weapon handling rather than premature prestige deposits or dome upgrades.

  • Assign Rock Tiers: Direct your companion creature to clear soft and medium rock while you target clustered mineral seams.
  • Carve Central Shafts: Keep a wide central corridor directly beneath the dome entrance to ensure fast transit as you dig deeper.
  • Withhold Prestige Points: Avoid depositing any resources into the prestige console during early cycles so that your early mining power ramps up uninterrupted.

Wave Defense and Upgrade Milestones

Alien waves scale sharply in Endless Prestige, requiring steady defensive pacing alongside subterranean mining. Always time your mining runs to return to the dome at least five seconds before a wave begins. When combat starts, soften incoming flyers while they approach, then drop down to eliminate melee burrowers and smashers before they hit the glass.

Prestige Launch Timing and Resource Funneling

Reaching the 100,000-point threshold requires maximizing score multipliers without starving your dome of critical combat upgrades. Launching resources too early cripples your defensive growth, causing runs to fail prematurely.

  • Clear Two Subterranean Tiers First: Delay your first major prestige shipment until you have fully excavated the second depth tier and stabilized primary weapon output.
  • Keep an Iron Buffer: Maintain a reserve of 10 to 15 Iron in the dome at all times to handle unexpected upgrade demands between waves.
  • Convert Excess Water: If your active defense does not require continuous Water overcharging, feed spare Water directly into the prestige console to boost your multiplier.
  • Deposit at the Start of Mining Cycles: Send shipments immediately after a combat wave ends so score calculations run while you dig, leaving you undistracted during battle.

Cobalt Preservation for Late-Wave Survival

Cobalt deposits are finite and serve as your primary defense against run-ending burst damage past wave twenty. Spending Cobalt on minor top-offs during early cycles leaves the dome vulnerable to late-game elite swarms.

Only trigger structural repairs when dome health falls below half, ensuring every spent Cobalt provides maximum value. Because surviving subsequent waves at higher multipliers generates far more points than dumping raw materials into a collapsing dome, protecting your structural integrity is the key to securing the 100K milestone.
