Additional info
7 columns, 7 paths drawn from the bottom row
15 floors: the Ancient, 13 rooms, the boss · 14 in co-op, one room fewer
The first room is a fight; the first 2 fights come from the weak pool
5 elite rooms (8 with Swarming Elites), never in the first five rooms
A rest site always sits on the row before the boss, never in the first five rooms
Treasure and merchants never follow their own kind; a fork never repeats a room type
A ? room is usually an event: a fight 1 in 10, a merchant 3 in 100, a chest 2 in 100Bosses
In a standard run you get a boss you have not fought yet, until you have met all 3. A boss pays 100 gold (75 with Poverty).
Elites
Never the same elite twice in a row. An elite pays 35 to 45 gold and drops a relic.
Weak pool
Each is 1 in 3. No fight comes twice. A fight pays 10 to 20 gold (7 to 15 with Poverty).
Full rules
The first 2 monster rooms you enter take their fight from these 3. The game deals the fights out before you climb: it takes them from the pool one at a time, each equally likely, and puts none back until the pool is empty.
Some fights never follow each other, in either pool: Scrolls of Biting and Many Scrolls of Biting. The game skips such a fight while it has another one to deal.

Events
What the map holds
Rooms on the map
The shortest and tightest map:
- Extra rest sites: 5 or 6
? rooms: 9 to 13- Shops: 3
- Elites: 5 (8 with Swarming Elites)
Fixed rows
- First row: fights.
Seventh row (seven below the boss): treasure.- Row under the boss: rest sites.
Extra rest sites: never in the first five rows or the two rows under the fixed rest row, leaving only rows six, eight, nine and ten.- Elites: fill row six and rows eight to twelve.
Which fights you meet
Normal fights: eleven normal rooms draw from nine encounters, so a repeat needs a tenth normal fight, which never happens.- Shared tags: the two Scrolls of Biting fights share a tag and never run back to back.
- Elites: pre-drawn with no immediate repeats, so your first three elite fights are one of each.
Soul Nexus: at 234 HP, the smallest target.
Mecha Knight: at 300, the biggest.
Sculptor: weak fights wait for the Monster rooms you enter, so ? rooms first means facing the 162 HP Sculptor with a stronger deck.
Notes
How the map is dealt
- Queue: types come from a queue (rests, shops, elites, ? rooms) dealt over shuffled points.
- In a line: an elite, rest, treasure or shop never directly follows its own kind.
- At a fork: a rest, fight, ?, elite or shop never shares a parent with its own kind.
- Clean up: leftovers become fights, duplicate path segments are pruned, and a repair pass refills any type that fell short.
- Unused rule: the code has a flag that swaps the treasure row for elites, commented as for a Warden ascension, but the run manager always passes it off.
What a ? room rolls
- Fight: 10%
- Treasure: 2%
- Shop: 3%
- Event: otherwise, never an elite
The odds reset for the act, misses growing by their base chance.
Boss
- The boss roll is even, but a Standard run gives you the first unseen boss: Queen, then Test Subject, then Aeonglass.
Double Boss rolls the second from the two remaining.
