• Relic Introduction : The Blood Idol gives players a key advantage. Whenever gold coins are obtained, 5 health points are immediately restored. This is especially important on the resource-rich second floor, especially for those challenges where the early battles are tough.
• Acquisition method : As an exclusive event on the second floor, the Blood God Statue is transformed from the Golden God Statue. Offering the Golden Idol will unlock this relic, but you will lose the Golden Idol.
• Sacrifice : Sacrifice the golden idol in exchange for 5 points of maximum health, but you will permanently lose a certain percentage of your health (35% after upgrading to level 15+).
• Desecration : The idol is cursed and the character enters a "rotting" state, so you need to deal with it with caution.
• Paired with the Golden God Idol : Combined with the Golden God Idol, it can maintain life even when gold coins are scarce. The effect is similar to Burning Blood, but more durable.
• Giant Mouth Piggy Bank : Combined with the Giant Mouth, extra life will be restored after climbing each level to enhance survivability.
• Hand of Greed and Wishes : further increase gold coin acquisition and strengthen the cycle.
• Previous bug : There was a bug that used the omniscient skull to exchange 5 lives for a large amount of gold coins, and then use the blood idol to achieve unlimited free prostitution. However, this vulnerability has been fixed, and the cost will gradually increase.
By in-depth understanding of the Blood Idol and its related mechanisms, players can better manage their lives in Slay the Spire, especially at the critical moment on the second floor, when this relic can become a key prop that determines life and death.
