The Bank

Access and exit
The Bank is accessed via a chest that is guaranteed to appear in a Passage (specifically any that do not lead to a boss) during a run. To enter the Bank, the chest must be entered the first time it is encountered in a Passage. If skipped, it will not appear again for the remainder of that run. This chest can only appear after entering the Throne Room or The Crown at least once.

If the player chooses to enter the Bank, it will replace the biomes from that stage, it does not act as an extra biome.

When exiting the bank the transition stage will have all exits that are available in the biomes that were replaced and the player has visited before.

Enemy tier and gear level scaling
The bank will have the highest gear level of the biomes it replaces.

Main level
At the start and throughout the Bank are ATMs that can be used to loan gold (if not cursed and door to the exit haven't been opened yet). Each loan grants 2,000 gold per use to a maximum of 20,000. At the end of the Bank, all the loaned gold must be payed back, and any debt that can't be payed back gives the player 10-kill curse per 2,000 gold.


 * 2 weapon or skill shops.
 * 1 food shop.

At least one shop in the Bank is always a 'Mimic shop'. These shops look like normal shops but when attempting to buy an item, the shopkeeper is consumed by a Mimic and attacks the player. Killing the mimic drops an item that is two levels higher than the original item, or two pickups instead of one if it was a food shop.

The jumping puzzle will continue to generate after unlocking the blueprint and have a treasure chest containing a huge amount of gold and some cells.
