* Skuld is healed for {{HP|50}} when entering new stage. Health starts ticking down after a name of stage disappears.
* Using "The Quest" ability drastically decreases fading damage. If you have {{ItemLink|Gunnr's Bracer}} then you will regenerate slightly instead of taking damage. It lasts until you enter the next stage.
* {{ItemLink|Circlet of the Serpentine}} will override Skuld's innate healing, drastically reducing the amount of healing she receives.
* Having any amount of shield will prevent death from the fading health loss. (Potential bug?)

| how to unlock = Store 100 coins in the dish
| info =
* Starts with {{Coins|3}}.
* Uses coins instead of HP and shields. Taking damage will make you lose half of your coins (if odd then rounded up) no matter how small damage was.
* If you buy something and your money will be set to 0 then you will die. Line will be "Killed by - A lack of coins".
* When you use Damocles' sword for Coin Bag - you will at first get these coins and after that take damage and lose half of your new stock.
* {{ItemLink|Lion Heart}} won't save you - it will say that you died to lack of coins. However, if you die without {{ItemLink|Lion Heart}} then it will say name of enemy.
* {{ItemLink|Skjaldmeyjar's Plate}} won't prevent you from losing money nor lessen the amount lost.
* Because of not having hp, healing, hp increase and shields are useless, much as items like {{ItemLink|Dragon's Skin}}.
* Acquiring the Banking ability allows you to have as much "health" as coins stored in your bank across all your runs, as the ability allows you to instantly withdraw if you're low.
