Even if you do read about the mode, though, you’ll probably be a little confused.
So The Coil is basically a bigger, more involved version of Riven’s Lair.
With The Coil, the focus isn’t just on finishing, but on driving up a high score.
Each time you start a new pathway, however, it becomes more difficult.
Enemies in The Coil become increasingly tougher with each pathway you complete.
Roguelite elements
The Coil differs from Riven’s Lair with the addition of extra mechanics.
Riven’s set of available buffs are randomly picked at the start of each run.
so that buy additional buffs, however, you’ll need a currency called Wishing Glass.
Look for pyramid-shaped motes to drop as you kill enemies and make your way through Coil encounters.
Picking up these motes earns you Glass, with more currency depending on which kind of mote you find.
Smash pots to earn more Wishing Glass as you explore The Coil.
it’s possible for you to also get Glass by shooting glowing pots scattered throughout the pathways.
You also want to gather Wishing Glass to push your score up.
Look for hidden pathways along the side walls of these areas, which will lead you to doors.
With a high-enough score, you’ve got the option to open these doors and access secret chests.
