Hello ! As for now, you can only make it slow down. I guessed you meant to remove the curse entirely when you said "beating it".
Beating it isn't planned for the prototype (at least for now,w ill see if i change my mind).
Beating it would require multiple days, as the roadmap suggests.
For the ingredients which are unusable right now, they will be in the next update. However it will only expand the current curse with new options and paths to take, but the final result might be similar to current one.
