In-level Interactables

Blood[]

Throughout your runs, there are various Interactable stations you can use to gain Upgrades (Blessings, Weapon Masteries, Seeds, & Callings). These stations, listed here, are extremely important if you want to snowball your run, and often times, require or utilize Blood.

Blood can be acquired by defeating hostile enemies, with stronger enemies providing more blood. Additionally, through Blessings with the Weeping Matriarch, or by Sacrificing a Seed to a Rhino(?), you can increase the amount of blood acquired through enemies. Additionally, there is a Seed Effect that can grant you Blood in exchange for 2 level downs.

Flowers[]

Flower

Flowers are where players can pick up Seeds to gain passive bonuses for their runs. Flowers are found throughout the various areas, with up to three flowers in one region. They are typically very obvious to spot, with a faint glowing effect. The flowers start closed, with one flower opening as the player approaches.

Although strongly advised, taking a seed is not mandatory.

Purchasable Nectar Table[]

The Nectar Merchant Serpent

The Nectar Merchant Serpent

The Purchasable Nectar Table, available at the very end of each level, typically just before the sand wall leading to a boss room, allows for you to regain lost/spent Nectar by utilizing Blood. It is a serpent-themed table, with a snake figuring atop a basket of glowing liquid, assumed to be Nectar.

The price for 1 Nectar starts at 100 Blood, and follows this formula, where X is the amount of times you have previously purchased Nectar from the table in this level; 

Nectar Restore Price = (100 + 50x) Blood


Additionally, despite potentially gaining +5 Nectar uses via the Blessing Of Symbiosis from Pledging To Magnolia, and reducing the amount of healing provided by Nectar per use, the price increase remains the same for each purchase of Nectar from this table. This applies to all Nectar bonuses, including those from seeds.
