Add a chance at Chthonic Keys while gathering resources during escape attempts.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Fishing points that appear in chambers during an escape attempt; collect the catch and check the run’s resource results afterward.

Fishing is an occasional side activity during Underworld runs, and a catch can award Chthonic Keys. It is a variable, limited opportunity rather than a dependable replacement for choosing a Key-marked chamber. Use it when a fishing point appears naturally, then spend any Keys on the weapons or Mirror options you still need.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Start an escape attempt and reach chambers where a fishing point may appear.
  • Have access to the fishing interaction when a point is available.
  • Keep a Chthonic Key unlock or other planned Key use in mind.
  1. Continue a normal escape attempt and watch cleared chambers for a fishing point.
  2. Approach the point and interact when the fishing prompt becomes available.
  3. Complete the fishing interaction and collect the catch.
  4. Continue the run; fishing points and their rewards are not guaranteed.
  5. After returning to the House, check the Keys added to your resources.
  6. Spend the Keys on a planned weapon unlock or Mirror option when available.

Farming tips

  • Treat a fishing point as a bonus: chamber choices remain the more direct way to target Keys.
  • Keep track of your intended Key purchase so a small catch contributes to a clear account goal.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat across later escape attempts whenever a fishing point appears. Each point is a one-time opportunity, and neither a point nor a Key reward is guaranteed in a run.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a fishing point in every chamber; continue normal runs and use direct Key rewards when available.
  • Assuming every catch awards Keys; check the resource result before planning a purchase around it.
  • Spending newly earned Keys without a target; reserve them for an intended unlock if that is your current bottleneck.

When to stop or switch

Stop treating fishing as a Key target once your planned unlock is funded, or switch to Key-marked chamber rewards if you need Keys more predictably.
