Threat, chests & False Troves
Every chest is a choice. Loot upgrades your run; Threat answers. SpotFalse Troves before they ambush you. Between raids, fuse matching finds in the Treasure Vault — three matching relics become a stronger tier — and equip one Starter before you play.
Treasure Trove, Trove Boss & Armory
The Treasure Trove is the keep’s glowing heart. Stand in the ring, stay the course, and claim what’s inside. On later stages, Stage Keys wake it first. Finish the unlock, face the Trove Boss guardian when it rises, then enter theTrove Armory to buy weapons, buffs, and rerolls with run gold.
Heroes
Eleven animal Trovers, each with a signature kit — including starterBunny Blaster and the Penny Spool gatling, plus Tusker, Prism Kitty, Jet Fox, Iron Owl, Coil Viper, Boom Mole, Rime Otter, Spark Rat, Crown Drake, and Rift Lynx. Cosmetics never gate power.
Field Codex & discovery
Recover notes in the Field Codex as you encounter heroes, weapons, shrines, landmarks, and enemies. Optional Challenge Rings, shrines, Elite Key Beacons, and torch trails reward curiosity without soft-locking the clear.
