Characters

Dungeon characters

Each floor will have a Green, Purple, and Red shop, denoted by the color of the portal that appears in the shop. The green will always be Artisan Andres, and the purple will always be Virtuoso Iris, but the red portal will be any random of the other NPCs listed below.

Artisan Andres

Andres runs the relic shop, which will offer 5 random relics from pools that the Player has unlocked, and a Healing Potion. The health potion will always cost 100 , but the other relics have set prices depending on the relic. Occasionally, some relics will be on sale for 10% off their normal gold price. The health potion will never be on sale.

Andres also appears in the main plaza, where he will sell relics for gems to unlock them permanently.

Virtuoso Iris

Iris runs the Arcana shop, which will offer 5 random Arcana, 2 of which will be enhanced, from pools the Player has unlocked. The price will vary based on the individual Arcana. Occasionally, some Arcana will be on sale for 10% off their normal gold price. She will not sell Arcana that the Player currently has in their hand, unless one of them can be enhanced (or unless the Arcana is in the Player's "stock" slot). The cost to enhance a currently held Arcana varies from 100 to 150 .

Iris also appears in the main plaza, where she will sell Arcana for gems to unlock them permanently. She will also sell Signature Arcana here if the Player does not have them all unlocked yet. Signature Arcana will always cost 50 .

Savile the Tailor

Savile is the clothing merchant. For 100 and 100 health (the Player's health will be reduced to 1 if they have less than 101 health), he will upgrade the Player's outfit, increasing its effects by a further 50%. If the Player is using the standard Hope or Patience outfits, these will upgrade to their full enhanced versions. The max health reduction of Venture will not be affected.

Acquiring a Token of Elegance will guarantee that Savile appears on the next floor (if possible) and he will upgrade the Player's outfit for no health or gold cost.

Savile also appears in the main plaza, where he will sell outfits for 75 . He will also offer to alter the effects of the Player's current outfit here for 5 . This upgrade will remove all of the Player's current outfit's effects and replace them with Savile's own bonuses. Upgrading this special outfit in the Trials will restore and enhance the original outfit's effect.

Nox the Unfortunate

Nox offers the Player a selection of 5 cursed relics. The relics are free, but the Player can choose only one. Cursed relics are quite powerful, but also come with drawbacks, and the relic can not be removed for the rest of the Chaos Trials. These relics can only be acquired from Nox, or very rarely, from chests, bosses, and even normal enemies. Any relic you find with a dark, shadowy flowing aura around it is a cursed relic. Keep that in mind!

Acquiring a Token of Doom will guarantee that Nox appears on the next floor (if possible).

After defeating Master Sura once, Nox also appears in the upper left corner of the plaza, and will offer a selection of cursed relics, some of which can only be found here. You can select one of these to take with you before you head in. If you purchased one on your last run, the next time you enter the plaza that relic will be among the selection in case you want to try it again.

Taffy the Pinata

Taffy the pinata wants the Player to hit him with a strong enough combo to burst him open. The combo starts on the first hit, and the Player will have roughly 5 seconds to bring his health bar down to nothing. If not enough damage is dealt in before the 5-second timer elapses, Taffy will teleport to the center of the room, regenerate any missing health, and laugh at the Player. If he can be defeated, he will drop an enhanced Arcana and ~50 gold.

Acquiring a Token of Triumph will guarantee that Taffy appears on the next floor (if possible) and will cause taffy to be broken in one hit.

Cremire the Collector

Cremire will buy relics from the Player. To do so, the Player must walk up to him and press the "interact" keybind (the default is "f") while hovering over a Relic in their inventory. Cremire will then pay 40% of the item's store value in gold for it. The amount of gold paid can not be seen before hand. Cursed relics can not be sold.

Acquiring a Token of Commerce will guarantee that Cremire appears on the next floor (if possible) and will double the amount he pays for relics.

Nocturne the Cardist

Nocturne will randomly take one of the Player's standard Arcana (preferentially choosing unenhanced Arcana) and shuffle it with 4 others, all of which will be enhanced (including the Player's own Arcana if it was not already enhanced). After Nocturne shuffles the Arcana Cards, 5 cards are revealed face-up. The Player may then pick two of the 5 cards to replace the initial Arcana which was taken (rarely, the Player may find the Arcana given to Nocturne among the 5 options). This process is free, aside from the Arcana taken, but the Player is guaranteed to always get an enhanced Arcana in return.

Acquiring a Token of Luck will guarantee that Nocturne appears on the next floor (if possible) and the token can be given to him instead of an Arcana.

Nocturne also appears in the main plaza. For 10 the Player's costume (aside pride), starting Arcana and relic will be randomized when they enter the Trials

Doki the Banker

Doki will offer to take all of the Player's gold in exchange for chaos gems. The amount of gems received will be equal to 9% of the amount of gold taken (e.g., if she took 100 the Player would receive 9 in return).

Acquiring a Token of Wealth will guarantee that Doki appears on the next floor (if possible) and will increase her exchange rate to 12.5% on top of a flat 20 .

Strange Time Keeper

The Strange Time Keeper can be found to the right of the portal at the end of Sura's gauntlet, and he will send the Player back to the beginning of the trials with all currently held Arcana, relics, and upgrades (allowing for an endless run). He must be talked to each time the Player reach Sura's room to continue endless mode; the Player can ignore him and fight Sura as normal to finish an endless run.

Hub-only characters

These characters only appear in the main hub.

Jade

Jade will offer the Player 200 to start their next run with in exchange for 20 .

Mah-Lind

Mah-Lind stands near the entry portal. In exchange for 10 Mah-Lind will let the Player choose which council member they encounter first, in the proceeding run (as opposed to the usual random encounter order). The council member selected will be the one that defeated the Player in their previous run, or a randomly selected one if it is the Player's first run since starting the game.

Mah-Linda

Mah-Linda stands near the entry portal and will activate hard mode for 10 .

Sir Goodspeed

Sir Goodspeed is found in the bottom left of the hub, and will activate boss rush mode for 10 .

Ward

Ward is in the Player's bedroom in the west-wing of their home and provides access to their outfit collection. He will also appear in the plaza when the Player gets near Savile.

Cammy

Cammy is only found in the main room of the Player's home and allows the player to save a record of their current build before starting a run (four arcana, one relic and robe) for quick access or to keep note of favourite builds. Up to six builds can be saved at once with builds being named after the robe used in each. Cursed relics bought from Nox in the plaza will not be recorded.

Melody

Melody is found in the storage room in the southern part of the player house and she allows the player to change the background music to tracks from Prescription For Sleep or Piano Collections albums and back to the Original OST. The upper part of the jukebox will change colour depending on which album is currently playing, red for the Original OST, purple for Prescription for Sleep and blue for Piano Collections.

Veres

Veres is only found in the Player's bedroom in the west-wing of their home. Talking to him will allow the Player to replay the tutorial in the museum.
