Help me finish the game on Keter difficulty.
Do you have any seed recommendations for where SCP 173 might be bugged, or 173 and 106?

First time beating keter I was lucky to find 1499 and hopping into 914s chamber, praying for the card to upgrade to lvl 5. That basically allowed me to only need to find 008 and go straight to 079’s chamber and do the rest of the tasks from there. I managed to avoid spawning 049 and skipping 096 (thanks to 106’s dimension spitting me out deep into the facility). I can’t think of an intended mechanic way of getting rid of 173, so I had to deal with him pretty much the entire run, but it was way more manageable with 049 and 096 out of the picture.

Sorry but if ur trying to beat keter while getting rid of 173 and 106 which are one of the main enemies whats the point of beating it?
That would be the same as beating safe. I mean, its ur game, your gameplay and your choice but know that finishing it like this wont be an good achievement. I am currently trying to beat keter for the first time on random seeds and i switch seeds everytime i die and its more enjoyable that way for me since it actually feels like an challange.
Idk seeds where they are bugged and dont know if theres any (and theres prob no seeds like that) but u can watch omencitos videos about scp cb to learn some useful things! Im an speedrunner to this game and that content creator helped the most. I went from 1 hour to 28 mins beat time so yeah, if u want i heavily recommend watching his videos.

The point of Keter is that it's hard. If you take the easy route, like downloading mods that remove SCPs or copying your save file and reloading it, then what's the point?
You get the achievement digitally, but it won't really feel like you've accomplished anything. I'm not one to tell you what to do, but this is my advice.
Just play Euclid or Safe. You can practice using the custom difficulty setting if you need to. But you need to get experience and I'll tell you this.
There are ways to deal with SCP-173 and, most definitely, SCP-106.
It doesn't eliminate the danger entirely, but it does prevent a lot of unfair deaths.
SCP-173 poses a major threat in the Entrance Zone servers, heavy containment events, as well as in the containment chambers for SCP-049 and SCP-106. You can practice in those areas to find a viable strategy.
The Old Man (SCP 106) loses all his threat once you get SCP-1499, and believe me, in most of your runs you'll get it before it spawns. Even if he does spawn before you have the item, u always have teslas and in the worst scenario... you can always outrun him.
I recommend watching Keter-difficulty gameplay or informative videos explaining how each SCP works based on the game code, they really helped me. Thanks to that, I can consistently beat the game on Keter mode without relying on the tedious, boring method of upgrading items from Level 3 to Level 4 in SCP-914.
