The Bizarre Journey beginner guide covers everything you do in your first session of this Roblox survival adventure, from the opening quest to your first run. The game is inspired by JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: you summon a Stand, search for loot, beat bosses and push from the Egyptian deserts to a Wild West frontier on the road to DIO. It is not the older "A Bizarre Journey" or "A Bizarre Run", which are separate games with their own communities. For a wider overview, start at the The Bizarre Journey wiki.
The Bizarre Journey beginner guide: how to play the opening quest
The steps below follow ItsChalls' November 14 video, so treat them as one player's route rather than an official script.
- Talk to Joseph, the first quest target. He is easy to walk past and stands near the Stand shop.
- Talk to DIO Brando in a room nearby. He asks you to choose a path.
- Use a Stand Arrow to get your first Stand and see its abilities; The Bizarre Journey Stand Arrows guide explains how rolling works.
- Click Start the Journey, pick a Normal lobby, and go in. You can queue as a party of one.
The Stand you roll is random, so open the The Bizarre Journey stands page to learn what you got and what it does.
The Bizarre Journey vampire path
The video picks the vampire path at DIO Brando's room. Videos we have seen do not name the other paths, and nobody has published what each path changes, so we cannot say whether vampire is the best start. If you are unsure, a later guide update will compare them once a source confirms the differences. Until then, pick the path that sounds fun, since a Character Slots pass on the The Bizarre Journey game passes list lets you try a second build.
The Bizarre Journey tips and beginner guide checklist
- Redeem codes first. Codes give Stand Arrows and Clan Rolls, which are the fastest way to a stronger start. Join the Bizarre Journey group on Roblox, then use the Codes button on the left of the main menu. Current rewards are on the The Bizarre Journey codes page.
- Visit the Merchant before the next encounter. The store page tells you to shop between fights. We do not know the Merchant's stock yet.
- Collect loot and accessories. One creator reports that accessories add damage; he wears Funny Valentine and Kira ones.
- Clan matters too. Clans and accessories both change damage according to yulezin's video, so read the The Bizarre Journey clans guide before you spend your rolls.
- Do not rush the Stand choice. Compare your Stand against the The Bizarre Journey tier list before you chase another one.
After the Bizarre Journey beginner guide: where to go next
This beginner guide ends where the game's goal begins: DIO. Bosses stand between you and him, and the repeatable fight is covered in The Bizarre Journey DIO. One creator compares the game to Dead Rails mixed with Project Slayer 2 and warns that it leans heavily on luck, so expect to repeat runs.
The game is new and the developer is working alone, according to yulezin. Check the The Bizarre Journey update page for what changed after Update 1, which we have not been able to document yet. There is no official Trello, so for news and help use the The Bizarre Journey Discord, and see the The Bizarre Journey Trello page for the current state of that question.
