WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Choose Dragon Lord curses for more Crystals

Dragon Lord portal encounters after Chaos Chamber rooms, when the portal choice brings the Dragon Lord to the next encounter.

Before you go

Clear a room and inspect the portal choices before selecting one.
Choose the Dragon Lord option when you want to evaluate a curse.
Read the offered curse and its difficulty before accepting it.
Select a penalty that your build can manage; avoid escalating just for a larger bonus.
Continue through the next encounter while collecting Crystal drops from enemies.
Use later portal choices and room objectives to keep building your total.
Spend the resulting Crystals on Blessings or a category statue in Loot of Chaos.

Curses can increase both Crystal amounts and the chance of Crystal drops from enemies, but the penalty affects the fight.
Favor a manageable curse when your run is already strained; preserving a completion is better than a failed high-risk attempt.

Repeat whenever the Dragon Lord is offered in a Chamber run; the portal opportunity is not guaranteed each room.

Taking the hardest curse automatically: check whether its penalty undermines your build.
Expecting the bonus before fighting: Crystal gains are earned through the subsequent encounter.
Treating curse choices as mandatory: select another portal or avoid added risk when appropriate.

Stop accepting curses when penalties make encounters unreliable or when you have enough Crystals for your planned purchases.

Crystals and reward currency

Dragon Lord curses raise Rainbow Crystal rewards while adding combat penalties, letting a capable build trade risk for currency.
