Quick notes
- Useful rune effects. Finding a rune makes it available at the Enchantress; it does not mean every equipment slot instantly gains the ability.
- Read Fairy Chest conditions first. The challenge instruction is part of the room.
- Stacking changes the movement budget. Multiple Vault or Sprint runes can provide extra jumps or dashes.
- Sustain needs enemies to defeat. Vampire and Siphon recover resources through kills.
Read Fairy Chest conditions first
| Condition type | Preparation | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Take no damage | Study spikes and projectiles from the entrance | Rushing through an unfamiliar pattern |
| Defeat all enemies | Check platforms and hidden corners | Leaving one enemy alive |
| No jumping | Use the intended ground route or suitable mobility | A reflex jump before reading the message |
| Reach a difficult platform | Bring a helpful movement rune | Assuming every heir has an air jump |
