It is best to think of the chests on any floor as a sort of puzzle, as keys are a rarity. If it’s a mimic, it will jump out to attack you. You can try to spot its slight movements to identify a mimic or you can shoot it with your starting weapon.
Be careful with chestsĮvery single chest you find has a chance to be a mimic. In some cases, it may be worthwhile to risk-taking damage instead of using a blank, but if you reach the end of the floor with blanks saved up and damage taken, you just took unnecessary damage! In a game where health is scarce, this mistake could cost you your run down the line.Īlso, if using a blank is the difference between taking a point of damage during a boss or not – definitely use it! If you kill a boss without taking damage, you are rewarded with extra max health.
At the start of each floor, the player is given two blanks.
