Quick notes

Biome and boss map. The room arrangement changes between heirs, but the broad biome directions remain fixed.
Four boss tactics. Enter with enough room to move.
Use the Architect for focused practice. Locking the castle can make a discovered boss easier to revisit, but reduces gold income.
The golden door follows all four victories. Defeated main bosses stay defeated for that campaign.
