Ancient

Map room
Ancients reside in these rooms.

They grant incredible bonuses, treasures, and knowledge.

Every act opens on an Ancient room, the map's starting node that comes before the first real floor.

  • Heals you: an Ancient is one of the great beings of the Spire, and entering heals all missing HP, 80% of it at Ascension 2 (Weary Traveler).
  • Boons: it then offers a choice, relics of the Ancient rarity, cards, gold and other gifts, often with a price attached.
  • Per act: Neow greets you in Overgrowth and Underdocks; Orobas, Pael and Tezcatara belong to Hive; Nonupeipe, Tanx and Vakuu to Glory.
  • Shared pool: Darv and The Architect are dealt at random among the later acts, and each act rolls one Ancient from those you have unlocked so far.

Notes

Ancient-rarity relics are the run-defining tier and there are 100 of them, so this room is where pieces such as Runic Pyramid, Ectoplasm, Sozu, Prismatic Gem, Driftwood or Meat Cleaver appear. Some gifts name their Ancient: Pael's Wing, Pael's Tears, Pael's Legion, Neow's Bones and the Tezcatara's Ember enchantment. Ancient cards like Apotheosis, Wish and Corruption come from the same rooms.
