How you get here

Reached by continuing down the standard chapter route.

Prepare before the checkpoint

  • Use the floor's ordinary item and shop opportunities before taking the exit.
  • Learn the current variant's room hazards instead of assuming every chapter has the same layouts.
  • Check your next route cost before spending keys and bombs on optional rewards.

Checkpoint and exit

This is a good point to judge whether the build needs more damage, firing rate or protection.

Continue toward Depths or enter an available alternate-path door as part of a planned route.

Random boss pools by variant

These counts come from the supplied boss-pool data. Pool membership and weight do not guarantee an encounter; fixed finales use route rules.
