In Falsus MIN, EVO, ULT, and FBD

Every In Falsus song is supposed to ship with four chart difficulties. The song wheel prints short labels: MIN, EVO, ULT, and a fourth tile that currently shows a padlock. Community documentation expands MIN to MINIMAL. ULT reads as Ultimate in conversation. FBD is the locked top tier; treat the letters as the official tag until lowiro publishes a long name in a manual.

This page is the ladder. For a play order of demo jackets, use beginner songs. For binds, use controls.

MIN — MINIMAL, four keys, static hand

MIN exists so new players (and proud veterans) can learn timing without a six-lane stretch. Charts on MIN use four keys and allow static finger placement. Only a subset of Floor lanes is live: middle lanes plus one side lane, or the mirrored set if Flipped Gameplay is on.

If you skip MIN because the number is small, you skip the Field tutorial that is hiding inside “easy.” Cryogenic’s wheel showing MIN 2 is a gift. Take it.

EVO — the first real density jump

EVO is where unused Floor lanes and a busier Field start to appear. Cryogenic’s EVO 5 against MIN 2 is the published example of a jump that looks modest and plays less modest. Stay here until EXACT is the default popup, including yellow and green flicks.

EVO is also the correct “I played Arcaea” landing zone after one MIN clear, not instead of it.

ULT — pride, not a default

ULT is the difficulty demo players clip. Cryogenic ULT 9 sits next to a locked FBD tile in store art. That 9 is not a global constant across the OST; it is one jacket’s label. Other songs will print other numbers. What stays true: ULT wants six-lane Floor habits plus Field coverage. If your left hand is still hunting Shift, you are not on ULT, you are on a highlight reel.

FBD — locked on purpose

FBD is visible and locked in demo captures. Community writeups say FBD is basically locked as a system, not a random bug on one song. There is no scoring exploit on this wiki to open it. When launch or a later demo build unlocks it, updates will say so.

Until then, a locked tile is not content you missed. It is content the client is withholding.

Flipped Gameplay

A setting exists to flip which side lane MIN (and later charts) treat as active. Use it if you remapped hands or if a stretch lives on the wrong edge of the keyboard. Combine it with the keybind planner instead of fighting default Shift forever.

How to climb without lying to yourself

1. Clear MIN with default keys.
2. Clear MIN with whatever remap you actually need.
3. Clear EVO on that same jacket.
4. Only then open ULT on that jacket.
5. Ignore FBD until it is a button.

If ULT on song A is easier than EVO on song B, that is charting, not a broken ladder. Compare inside a jacket first. Cross-song pride is how people skip Hyaloüyne’s Field and then type essays about six fingers.

Numbers are local

MIN 2 and ULT 9 on Cryogenic do not mean every MIN is 2. Read the tile in front of you. The tier hub will collect more published numbers as they appear. We will not invent a 1–12 constant scale to look like another game.

Play the ladder. Name the lock. Leave FBD closed until the padlock does.
