Other written encounters

Before you pick

  • The prompt and the outcome are written separately in the game, and only the prompt is shown before you choose. Both are on this page.
  • A choice that costs health early is usually cheaper than it looks — health resets between fights, shards do not.
  • Where an event offers a relic, take the relic over the item: relics apply to every fight that follows.
  • Rank ups gained from events bring a modifier pool with them, which is worth more on floor 3 than on floor 9.
  • If an event starts a fight, its board is scaled to the floor you met it on, not to the floor it was designed for.
