Special Rooms
Arlan's Shop
Arlan's Shop is the primary way to obtain Skills and Relics outside of their typical Selectors. The shops are very similar to Arlan's Ember Shop in The Nexus, but uses the Coins rather then the Ember currency to afford Relics and Skills.
The largest difference between the two shops is rerolling. While Arlan's Ember Shop will always cost 50 Ember to reroll, Arlan's Coin shops being at 25 Coins to reroll, and doubles in cost with every subsequent reroll, to a maximum of 300 gold per reroll. The other major difference between the Ember Shop and Coin Shops is that rerolling in the Ember Shop is entirely random, while rerolling in Coin Shops preserves the 'type' of item offered while randomizing what the specific item is. For example, Relics are always rerolled into other Relics, Skills into other Skills, Food into other Food and Stat Gems into other Stat Gems.
There is also a sign in every shop, made out of either wood or steel. When broken, this sign will provide 5-10 Coins. Arlan does become angry when it is broken, but this is purely aesthetic and does not affect gameplay or stop Arlan from appearing later in the run. The sign regenerates in every shop and is there to allow players to purchase items they were barely short from buying.
??? Shop
The ??? Shop or the Offering Pit is a Room where you give the green slime pit up to 4 Relics or Skills in exchange for a new set of Relics and Skills of the same rarity.
Mimic King Room
The Mimic King room is a brief minigame where the goal is to find the chest with loot after a very fast-paced reshuffle, finding the correct chest will often reward you with lots of assorted goodies, including Relic/Skill/Stat Selectors, Food and Stat Gems. Selecting any other chest will create a Mimic enemy that must be defeated before you can continue. It is also used to unlock Secret #12.
Healing Room
The Healing Room allows you to heal up to a certain value depending on the area and number of players. All downed knights will also be revived. The healing is provided as a pool, and Knights can take health as they need it. Time does not pass in the healing room, and it is often filled with items that contain bonus gold.
Marked rooms
Marked rooms are rooms sealed with markings on them, having to do a puzzle involving skills to open them. Each world has an unique room with a unique color to be unlocked.
