Runes & Upgrades
Health Flask I costs 5 cells. Buy it on your first trip to the Collector.
Data updated
Overview
Runes are the permanent keys. Vine, Teleportation, Ram, Spider and Homunculus open new routes and secrets, while Explorer's, Challenger's, Customization and Traveler's unlock the map reveal, the daily challenge, Custom Mode and the backpack. The 24 Collector upgrades cost cells instead. Health Flask I to IV runs 5, 50, 150 and 300 cells for up to 4 flask uses. Gold Reserves V costs 400 and keeps 2500 gold safe through a death. Advanced Forge I needs Conjunctivius's blueprint first.
