Golden Interval

Overview

Golden Intervals are one of the unique mechanics of Shiren 2.
Golden Stairs can be found inside walls on certain floors of Random Dungeons.
A special melody plays when you first discover the Golden Stairs,
and climbing them leads to a bonus area called Golden Interval.

Golden Intervals are Shuffle Dungeons consisting of 3~5 floors,
and often have powerful or exclusive items on the ground.
Monsters don't get generated on the final floor of a Golden interval,
but instead there's a single room with a treasure chest that contains a rare item.

However, Golden Intervals are often more difficult than the floors they can be found on.
Stronger monsters spawn (example: Lashagga in the 2nd Golden Interval of Road to the End),
onigiri can't be found on the ground, items for emergencies are either nonexistent or rare,
and in Halfway Well's case, traps can't be found, and you can't exit using a Trapper Bracelet.

On a side note, Shopkeepers don't react to Golden Stairs, so you can steal items
easily if you happen to discover them as a result of reading a Great Hall Scroll.
Lastly, Golden Stairs can occasionally generate inside unbreakable walls,
requiring the use of a Great Hall Scroll rather than pickaxes or cannoballs.

Maps

Golden Intervals are Shuffle Dungeons, so the maps are selected out of a predetermined list.
The exit is usually in the lower half of the map, so keep that in mind when looking to advance.
Shuffle Dungeons will never generate Monster Houses.
