Trash Heap event art, Slay the Spire 2

Trash Heap

You discover a towering pile of scrapped weapons, discarded trinkets, and other oddities. The massive pile shifts and rumbles, as if growing from within...

If you scavenge from the surface, you may find some decent things. But if you really get in there, you may find some exotic treasures.
You spend a decent amount of time wading through the dangerous garbage and find a relic of the past!

Why was this thrown out?
You walk around the pile from a safe distance and pick up some forgotten valuables and oddities here and there.

Why were these created in the first place?

Which option to take

The junk pile is 100 gold plus a coin flip on whether the card fits; Clash or Entrench can be dead in the wrong deck.

Dive In

  • Dive In. Maw Bank alone pays 12 gold per floor for the rest of the climb if you never spend at a shop, Hand Drill and The Boot help any attacker, and Dream Catcher adds a card at every rest.
