What each path means

From Floor 2 onward, you choose a path at the start of each floor. Your choice changes the mix of exploration events for that floor.

PathWhat to expect
BalancedThe normal mix of everything.
SpoilsMore treasure chests and fewer enemies.
SanctuaryMore shrines and even fewer enemies.
DescentA higher chance of quickly finding the door to the next room.

Paths change the chances of encounters, so a particular event is never guaranteed by your path choice.
