WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Peculiar Chest interactions encountered during an Adventure run; inspect the displayed service before choosing.

Peculiar Chests offer a run-time exchange for a scroll you no longer want, which is a concrete way to redirect a poor build roll. This is not a Craftsman upgrade: the chest presents a choice involving the scroll you give up and a replacement outcome, so treat it as a run decision with uncertainty. When a Peculiar Chest appears, pause and compare the currently equipped scroll against the replacement options and your build’s needs. If the unwanted scroll is actively weakening your synergy or is redundant, exchanging it can be more valuable than holding it. If it is a key defensive or damage multiplier, keep it. The available service can vary by chest and run; do not assume every chest provides the same operation or that a desired scroll is guaranteed. This route is distinct from opening Vault reward chests: it focuses on exchanging an existing scroll rather than obtaining a reward through combat. Use it only when the swap improves the build you are trying to carry through the remaining stages.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Have an Occult Scroll in the current run that you are willing to give up.
  • Encounter a Peculiar Chest offering a scroll exchange.
  1. When a Peculiar Chest appears, interact and read its exact scroll service.
  2. Identify the scroll that would be surrendered and evaluate its current role in your build.
  3. Compare the replacement options or outcome shown by the chest with your current scroll set.
  4. Exchange only if the trade improves your build or removes a harmful mismatch.
  5. After the swap, reopen the scroll inventory and confirm the new selection is equipped.
  6. Rebuild later choices around what you actually received rather than the scroll you hoped for.
  7. If the offer is poor, decline it and preserve the current setup.

Farming tips

  • Peculiar Chest services are variable; read the interaction instead of expecting the same option each run.
  • An exchange is not a guaranteed path to a named scroll.
  • Keep defensive scrolls if removing them would make the next boss unsafe.

Repeat, collect and use

Use the exchange when an encountered Peculiar Chest offers a worthwhile change; it is not a repeatable fixed reward farm.

Common mistakes

  • Do not mistake this for a Craftsman upgrade or a permanent unlock.
  • Do not trade away a core build scroll without checking the loss.
  • Do not assume the replacement is controlled if the chest displays a random outcome.

When to stop or switch

Stop when no available exchange improves the current run, or when the run ends.
