The Gilt Cellars

Brick, tally marks and a barred gate: the first ten floors, where the Tallyman keeps the books. All of it is free.

The ten floors

Each floor here has 3 fights, mostly against two enemies on floors 1 to 3 and three after that, and then a room. Health and armor are full again at the start of every fight.

Floor	Fights	Last fight	Room after	Enemy health	Enemy attack
1	3	Normal	Merchant	9	2
2	3	Normal	Merchant	13	3
3	3	Normal	Chest, shrine or forge	18	3
4	3	Normal	Merchant	25	5
5	3	Elite	Merchant	35	6
6	3	Normal	Chest, shrine or forge	48	8
7	3	Normal	Merchant	68	11
8	3	Normal	Merchant	95	15
9	3	Elite, half the time	Chest, shrine or forge	133	20
10	3	Boss	Altar	186	26

Enemy health and attack are the floor's standard enemy; each kind is a multiple of it (see the bestiary and the floor table). The chest, the shrine and the forge fall on floors 3, 6 and 9 in an order that changes each run.

Forked stairs

After some floors the stair forks and you pick one of two rooms. In each depth two of floors 4, 5, 7 and 8 offer a Warden beside the merchant, one more floor offers a chest beside the merchant, and floors 3, 6 and 9 offer a merchant beside their special room. A guided first run has no forks.

Enemies

The boss is The Tallyman on floor 10. The elite, Coin Mimic, is the last fight of floor 5 and, half the time, of floor 9.

The Tally

Entering floor 1 posts this depth's Tally: 62 gold, to be paid at a merchant before floor 10. Paid in full it pays you back in gems: 3 on floors 1 to 3, 2 on floors 4 to 6, 1 after that. Unpaid, The Tallyman fights up to 40% stronger. A guided first run has no Tally in this depth.

Loot

What rarity a drop or an offer rolls depends on the floor. Chests, elites and (below the first depth) the merchant roll one step higher.

Floors	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1 to 3	88%	12%
4 to 6	70%	26%	4%
7 to 10	55%	33%	10%	2%
11 to 15	40%	36%	18%	5%	1%
16 to 20	28%	36%	25%	9%	2%
21 to 25	18%	32%	31%	15%	4%
26 to 30	10%	28%	34%	21%	7%

Sets whose pieces first appear here: Emberforged, Rimeglass, Thornwood, Gilded, Bulwark, Ratcatcher, Vigil, Warden. Everything from the depths above keeps turning up.

Free to play

The Gilt Cellars are the free game: all ten floors, the Tallyman and his altar, as often as you like. The stair to floor 11 is sealed until the full game is unlocked, and a run that reaches it can carry on the moment it is.
