Act 2 Walkthrough

Act II drops the cabin camera and becomes a pixel-art map. You replace one scrybe at the start, then walk between the beast, tech, dead, and magick temples. Foils are the money. Packs and single cards in this act are bought with foils, not blood.

Temples and the deck

The four scrybes are Leshy (beasts), P03 (technology), Grimora (the dead), and Magnificus (magicks). Which temple you enter first is your choice. I am not publishing a single “best starter.” The beast deck is the one that includes the talking stoat’s later, quieter cards. The magick deck is where Stim Mage and mox costs live. Tech uses energy. Dead uses bones.

Foils drop from fights and are spent at the vendors in each region. A deck-building search for Act II is really a foils-and-packs question. There is no external deck builder you need. Draft inside the map, then spend foils when a vendor actually sells the tribe you are missing.

Puzzles people get stuck on

Magnificus’s tower has a sigil order on three floors before the boss: emerald is Ruby Heart, Airborne, Ruby Heart; ruby is Ruby Heart, Hefty, Airborne; sapphire is Airborne, Ruby Heart, Bone Digger. The full floor notes are on the mage tower page. The tech temple uses circuit tiles: rotate them until the visible digits sum to the target. Those layouts change by room, so I am not pasting one universal grid.

Flickering keys and the offering are named in Act II searches. I have the temple structure from the wiki and not a second step-by-step for every key, so those two stay as “temple progression items” instead of a fake click-path. After all four scrybes fall, P03’s unwinnable fight pushes you into Act III. That loss is the door, not a mistake.

FAQ

What are foils?

Act II currency for packs and single cards.

Which scrybe should I pick?

Any. The pick changes your opening deck, not the number of temples you must clear.
