There are 7 types of map locations in Slay the Spire:
Icon/Name | Description | Info |
---|---|---|
Unknown Location | Often contains an event, but may also contain a non-Elite enemy encounter, Treasure Room, or Shop.
The likelihoods of these options are changed by Juzu Bracelet and Tiny Chest. | |
Shop | Buy cards, relics, potions, and/or remove a card from your deck, at the cost of some Gold. | |
Treasure Room | 1 random Relic and potentially Gold.
Affected by N'loth's Hungry Face, Cursed Key, and Matryoshka. | |
Rest Site | Rest (heal HP) or Smith (upgrade a card).
Shovel, Girya, and Peace Pipe add additional options. | |
Basic monster fights (non-Elites). | ||
Fight an Elite monster, gaining a relic as a reward in addition to normal bonuses.
(With the Black Star you gain 2 relics.) An animated flame behind the Elite represents a buffed Elite that holds the Emerald Key for Act 4. (This only shows up once you have completed Act 3 with all characters.) | ||
Boss Fight | The end of each map leads to a boss. The reward is a choice of 1 of 3 Rare Cards and a choice of 1 of 3 Boss Relics. |
