|wiki    = [[Treasure Vault]]
 +
|type    = Gameplay - Environment
 +
|dor    = 27 June 2019
 +
|content = The Golden Slime Casino has been hoarding the crowns collected from knights in secret. For some time the search has been on for these vast riches. Knights even tried bribing Smitty for the location, but he either couldn’t be bought or he wasn’t trusted with such sensitive information.
 +
 +
Spiral HQ has recently acquired intel indicating that hidden within the Clockworks are mysterious Treasure Vaults containing untold wealth. Could this be the mysterious hoards of the Casino? It’s difficult to tell given the unique defenses employed to protect the trove.
 +
 +
Your task is to survive these unique defenses and raid the treasures within. Take precautions though, these defences are commanded by a mythical impersonator and her minions. Not everything is as it seems and there is safety in numbers.
 +
 +
Take a look at some of the changes and new additions you’ll find in the game:
 +
 +
- '''Treasure Vault levels can be found in all tiers.'''
 +
 +
- Treasure Vaults contain new creatures and threats such as:
 +
 +
- Razors. “The best a trap can get”.
 +
 +
- Baby Mimic. Known amongst the denizens of the Clockwork as the Mini Mimic.
 +
 +
- Treasure Mimic. This new mini boss lords over the treasure vault and all the minions within.
 +
 +
- These levels are part of normal gate rotation, not a new mission set.
 +
 +
- Gates will be cycled after release so that at least one Treasure Vault level is immediately available.
 +
 +
- Echo blocks. They give as good as they get.
 +
 +
- Monster Garages. Because Drops can be unruly when hanging out with friends, they’re sometimes forced to live in a garage.
 +
 +
- New type of pressure pad that require all be depressed at the same time, but don’t need to remain down in order to activate a door.
 +
 +
'''Additional Changes:'''
 +
 +
- We’ve renamed the levels that were previously called “Treasure Vault” to “Treasure Trove” in order to limit confusion between the two areas.
 +
 +
- A number of new standard rooms have been added to the Clockworks. This will increase the diversity of rooms you see within a level while exploring the depths.
 +
 +
- Fix to the images displayed in the billing section of the Supply Depot.
 +
 +
- Style change to the toggle switches. They will show their state, switching between yellow and purple.

We have confirmed that the '''Apocrean Harvester''' has returned again. Spiral HQ needs your help!
 +
 +
From now through July 24, travel onto the '''Grasping Plateau''' full of trapped souls and phantom-like monsters. In a maze-like graveyard, knights will find the Apocrea trapping and collecting souls. This sinister being will pursue any who enter the Grasping Plateau hoping to add to the collection. Work together to free souls and find '''Apocrean Sigil''' tokens which can be used at the Obelisk of Creation to craft Obsidian weapons and the Grasping Aura.
