Knowing Skull

The Knowing Skull is a rare Event encountered in act 2 of the Spire. It cannot be encountered unless the player has 12 or more HP.

[Riches?] Gain 90 Gold. Lose 10% of your Max HP. (Minimum of 6 HP)

[Success?] Get a [random Uncommon] Colorless card. Lose 10% of your Max HP (Minimum of 6 HP)

[A Pick Me Up?] Get a Potion. Lose 10% of your Max HP (Minimum of 6 HP)

[How do I leave?] Leave. Lose 10% of your Max HP (Minimum of 6 HP)

Rewards may be selected repeatedly for as much life as you are willing to spend. The event will not end until "How do I leave?" is selected. Each time a reward is selected, the cost for that reward increases by 1 HP.

Tips

• With the Bloody Idol relic, choosing the "Riches" option will grant you 5 HP of healing to heavily offset the damage.
• The Tungsten Rod relic reduces the HP cost of each reward by 1 HP. The cost for each reward still increases each time it is selected.
