General Tips for All DLCs

- Since secrets take time, run gold-farming alongside secret hunting
If You're Short on Gold
- Moongolow + Arcana VIII Mad Groove yields a stable 20,000–30,000G per run
- The Bone Zone in Hyper Mode offers +100% gold bonus (advanced players)
- A Treasure Hunt build (King Bible evolution + Crown) maximizes floor item collection
Checking Your Unlock Progress
- Pause menu → Unlocks shows unlock conditions for every character at any time
- Secret characters display as "?" with a hint — read the hint to infer the condition
