It turned out to be rather possible, considering I almost doubled that. Abyss is, in my opinion, best region to get it. The most important pieces of "Exodia":
Artifact - Glove and one more to sacrifice for Overwhelmed perk
Perks - Profit motive is mandatory, Pulse organs great, Bunny DNA good, Adrenaline is, probably, really good, but I didn't get to acquire it before prices got too high. If nothing else - fish for the back strengtheners - the more roaches you can carry, the better.
Burden - Half stamina makes the beginning a bit harder, but once you stop climbing and begin flying you stop caring about that. And one more trinket is nice.
Trinkets - Pouch is mandatory (5 roaches!) and Moon rocks are great (Gravity affects EVERYTHING)
Rho - Overwhelmed is VERY important. I the first couple loops try to stack as many perks as you can from altars, you will not be able to do that past... 4th loop, I believe? Faces (yes, multiple) get crazy speeds as you keep looping.
General advice - first couple loops exist to get you set up. By the fourth loop you must have everything you need - you, probably, won't be able to get much more aside from Perks (and even that will soon shut off as the prices grow). Every loop is about 1400 meters, so, you need 7-8 loops. Once you begin touching the ground only to recharge your jumps, drop the hammer and everything else aside from cockroaches, glove and moon rocks. You don't need anything else. I'd say, by about loop 16 you, being full of roaches (had one back strengthener) you will not be able to outrun the faces anyway, so.... yeah. Either have more roaches or get some syringes if you wish to proceed further. Do not get encumbered - it is not worth it though.
Soooo... Yeah. Good luck, climbers!
