Curios

Curios are interactable object that may appear during an expedition. Interacting with curios can lead to both positive and negative outcomes, and provisions, like a torch or a key, can be used on them to favorably alter the chances.

Mechanics

Most curios can only be found only in certain dungeons (for example, the Ruins), and in specific places inside a dungeon (for example, a treasure room or a corridor). A room may only contain one curio, while a corridor can contain multiple. Unlike obstacles, curios do not prevent passage.

A curio can be interacted with directly by hand, or a provision item can be used. Interaction outcomes are listed in the tables below.

Many curio interactions grant loot. Each of these uses a specific loot pool, and additional loot may be awarded from other mechanics like low light level. Notably, the Antiquarian causes additional loot to drop when she interacts with curios, significantly increasing the gold gained from each expedition.

Additional curio effects include increasing or decreasing stress, healing, causing Bleed or Blight, Disease, various buffs and debuffs, and adding or removing quirks. In most of these cases, only the currently selected hero will be affected. Thus it is advisable when interacting with risky curios to select a hero with good resistances, or to boost their resistances with Holy Water.

Forced Interaction

A hero with certain quirks, diseases, or afflictions may sometimes automatically and uncontrollably interact with curios of a certain type. For example, a hero with Necromania may be forced to interact with a Dinner Cart or Mummified Remains, which both have the Body type. This only affects corridor curios, not curios in rooms.

During a forced interaction, the hero will always interact with the curio directly and will never use a supply item, which can result in very harmful consequences.

Additionally, certain forced interaction traits will cause the hero to steal any rewarded loot, causing it to disappear from the inventory. (Perhaps the most notorious example is Reynauld, the starting Crusader, who has the Kleptomaniac quirk.) For these reasons, most forced interaction quirks are considered extremely harmful and a high priority to remove in the Sanitarium.

The following table lists all traits that cause forced curio interactions, along with the number of affected curios in each dungeon. Disruptive quirk/dungeon combinations are highlighted in red.

Probabilities of encountering each curio

Each location (corridor, curio room, or treasure room) uses a separate distribution for generating curios. The lists below are the (conditional) distributions of generated curios in each location. This is not related to the distribution of rooms and connecting corridors in a map, or the frequency of generating a curio in a corridor tile.

Notes

Heirloom Chests and Throbbing Cocoons each have two variants with the exact same appearance but slightly different interactions.

Heirloom Chest Variants

There are two variants of the Heirloom Chest: the original variant, and a reskin of the now-unused Locked Strongbox. Due to a possible oversight by the developers, the two have the same appearance and description but have slightly differing interactions and rewards. It is possible to distinguish them by testing a chest with an Antivenom or a Shovel—the success or failure will be recorded and displayed when encountering the same variant in the future.

In fact, this can be done during the Ruins tutorial at the beginning of the game: the chest in the farthest room can be opened with the Plague Doctor's free Antivenom (which is otherwise useless, as no enemies with Blight attacks appear), and afterwards all chests should be marked appropriately.

Note that for both variants, using a Skeleton Key will produce the greatest rewards, so in general it is best to buy enough Skeleton Keys instead of trying to figure out whether to use an Antivenom or a Shovel.

Throbbing Cocoons Variants

Likewise there are two variants of the Throbbing Cocoon. The first only appears in the Courtyard and can be burned with a torch to relieve stress. The second only appears at high infestation in regular dungeons and can be activated to summon a Gatekeeper to gather more invitations to the Courtyard.
