The dungeons of Hammerwatch have several reoccurring encounters to aid you on you quest.

Elevators

Using an elevator will allow you to send your money and ore back to town. Money is taxed based on your current town hall level. The game will ask you for confirmation and show you how much you are actually sending back and at what tax rate.

A well can spawn on any floor. Using it will restore you to max health and mana as well as fill any empty potion charges you might have.
The only guaranteed well in the game is directly before Thundersnow on floor 3 of act 5 and the bonus rooms.

  • Refill your potions.
  • Give you some gold. The amount received increases in later acts.

  • Give you some keys. You will always receive one bronze, silver, and gold key with a chance of also receiving an ace key.

Shops

Shops can be found on any non-boss floor of the tower and can only spawn once per act. It is possible, but rare, to not have a shop spawn on a given Act.
Each shop has a baseline of 5 items and can be expanded by 2 if you have found a Fancy Plume or have the Abundant Shops fortune from the Fountain. These both can stack.
At any given shop, you can only purchase 3 items.

The shops in each act give varying qualities of items. The quality of items in the shop increases as you progress further in the tower. Shop items can range between Common, Uncommon, and Rare.

  • Fancy Plume adds items to the shop based on the item rarity that is already in the shop. Not what it could potentially have. For example, If a shop in act 5 doesn't have any rare items and only has uncommon items, when the fancy plume is added to your inventory the extra items added to the shop by the plume will all be uncommon.

Portals and Red Rooms Teleporter.gif

These rectangular looking portals are the level skippers of the game. They are always found in the first level of every chapter. They only spawn after you defeated the boss of that respective chapter at least once.

Example: for the portal to appear in the mines, you must kill the stone golem, For it to appear in the prison, you must defeat the warden boss once.

What happens when I go in? There are 12 waves of enemies spawn, these enemies will feature monsters common to the next chapter of the game in line. Every 2 waves you receive a random item for a total of 6 items. At the end of the fight, the blood fountains in the middle fill up and act as a potion refill.

Entering a portal for the first time will unlock combo for your entire guild.
