WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Take the Elf’s chest gamble for bonus gold
The Elf’s three-chest encounter during a Kingdom run.
Before you go
- Find the Elf encounter while exploring the Kingdom.
- Carry gold you are willing to put at risk.
- Be prepared to accept the offer’s stated deduction.
Farming steps
- Explore connected rooms and check the map as you search for the Elf’s encounter.
- When you find the Elf, read the offer and check the amount of gold at stake.
- Decide whether the possible triple payout is worth the stated 25% deduction.
- If you accept, choose one of the three chests as prompted.
- Collect the result and check your carried gold before leaving the encounter.
- Continue the run if your heir can safely reach more rewards.
- After the run, use surviving inheritance on Manor upgrades.
- Treat the offer as a gamble, not a guaranteed multiplier.
- Consider skipping it when losing part of your current gold would disrupt an upgrade you are saving for.
Repeat, collect and use
The encounter can be considered again when it appears on a later run; each offer resolves once when you make your choice.
Common mistakes
- Counting on a triple payout before choosing; assess the offer as a risk.
- Ignoring the deduction when deciding how much gold to stake; check the offer first.
- Leaving without checking the result; verify your carried gold before continuing.
When to stop or switch
Leave the encounter after resolving the offer, or decline it if the risk is not worthwhile for your current run.
