Rooms

Each level is comprised of multiple rooms in a grid layout. Rooms cannot be exited while there are any enemies in them.

Normal rooms

Regular rooms contain enemies and always contain a shrine or secret chest. They may also contain a second, secret shrine hidden in a high or hard to reach place.

Special rooms

Most special rooms are marked in the minimap and don't contain enemies unless otherwise is specified.

Bank

Indicated by a scales icon on the minimap. Can deposit or withdraw coins. Coin balance persists between runs and is the same across all characters and difficulty levels. Banks have a coin deposit limit of 10 per room with no withdrawal limits. Entering the bank with a balance of 100 coins or more allows the player to "collect interest" in the form of a secret bank chest.

Boss room

Indicated by a skull icon on the minimap. Contains the boss and the portal to the next area. Guaranteed to spawn.

Challenge room

Indicated by a crossed swords icon on the minimap. Has a lever that can be used up to 3 times to spawn enemy waves of increasing difficulty. When each wave is defeated, a chest will spawn.

Well room

Indicated by a magic sparkle icon on the minimap. Contains an equipment item from each of the 4 types (head, armor, hands, feet) on pedestals. Upon selecting one, the other 3 will lower into bottomless pits and cannot be picked up even if the player gets to them fast enough. The pits will deal damage if the player jumps in after the items.

Treasure room

Indicated by a golden treasure chest icon on the minimap. Contains a locked Golden Chest. Sometimes has an extra locked chest behind a barrier that deals 12.5 damage when walked through (in both directions, so 25 damage total to get in and out). Guaranteed to spawn.

Huginn's shop

Indicated by a banner icon on the minimap. Sells equipment, healing and stat boosts. One room variant has a secret shrine. Guaranteed to spawn on every floor.

Muninn's armory

Indicated by an anvil icon on the minimap, and marked with "Blacksmith" above the door. Sells weapons and clip improvements. Spending coins increases Muninn's Gratitude and unlocks more pedestals.
