Underdocks

Once a source of clean water for all the Spire, the Underdocks falls into disrepair.
Aggressive sea creatures emerged from its depths, making a home in the maze-like passages.

A fetid stench emanates from the grate leading to the Underdocks. The slimy waters call to you...

What it unlocks

UnderdocksAct

It unlocks the Underdocks, an alternate first act: the game forces it as Act 1 of your next Standard run, then rolls it against Overgrowth. It has 15 rooms, three weak fights up front, Neow at the start and three bosses met in order: Waterfall Giant, Soul Fysh, then Lagavulin Matriarch. It is chapter 4 of 6 in Tales from the Spire.

How to unlock Underdocks

The score bar

Underdocks is unlocked through the score bar on the end-of-run screen: it is the fourth of 18 score unlocks and needs a bar of 1000 points.
Every finished run adds its score, win or lose: floors climbed, gold gained, 50 per Elite and 100 per boss, multiplied by 1 plus 0.1 per Ascension level.

How the bar fills

The bar keeps its total between runs, and anything past 1000 spills into the next bar, but one run never fills two bars.
The overflow is capped one point short of the next threshold.
The three bars before it need 200, 500 and 750.
