Secret Level Discussion (Possible Spoilers)
The Abandoned Casino level.

The best I've done so far is six mobs that leaked through. It's pretty difficult because the mobs spawn so close and there's no way to block them off effectively. It seems to me that you need to use a lot of traps that push or pull to thin them out. Once I get to round six the sheer number of mobs that come out just overwhelm my traps and some sneak past.

I put a bunch of spring traps down in front of the gate to launch them south (so they have to come around the corner) and some black hole & spring traps north to launch them onto the long minecart track. I then space out some harpoons and push traps to try and thin them out as they walk back around. Placing a single barricade next to the dungeon core on the left side prevents the mobs from walking that way so you don't need to worry about trapping that area at all. Finally, a few damage-dealing traps along with the Lich trap sprinkled around to kill the weak ones before they get back to the launch-a-thon.

Has anyone been able beat this one perfectly yet? The thought of having to do this one with six runes makes me sweat.

Also, any clues as to what the slot machines actually do? I saw "XP" pop up a few times so I assume that they give a random amount of XP if you beat the level.

Here is how I did it with no leaks.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=626952753

I started with upgraded slowtrap, lightning and harpoons for damage on the first few wave, after that focus on spring and pushtraps. Remember to block off alternative routes for enemies that jumped the gaps.

Slot machine. As far as I understand, when you click it you get one of 5 possible results:
7 - nothing happens
cherry - 50 gold
coin - 500 gold
bolt - deal damage to nearby enemies
XP - gives (not sure how much) XP when you finish the stage
Leveling the trap doesent seem to do anything?

That is a great setup, thanks. After looking at that I realized what an idiot I was for not selling the Slot Machines. I was able to use my original setup this time only letting two slip past. I then tried your method and it worked great, no one escaped.

Here is my attempt, 2 enemys went through:

Maybe if I sell the Slot Machines I can beat it with no lives lost. I will try again! ;)

@svartmes

Here's my own 0 lives lost solution. Only had Blood Rune on for this first attempt.

I wasn't aware that there's a secret level. Is this new? I haven't played in a few months.
Tschilumbu 26 Feb, 2016 @ 1:05am 
@Travcm
Yes, since the last 1.2 update there is a new secret level, you can unlock it on the map Crumble Zone!

Anyone manage to nine or ten rune this? I can do it on 8 easily, excluding Trinity and Purity. with 9 using Trinity I can get to the last wave, and reach the end but the brutes always end up slipping past.

I got 11m XP with 8 runes though! (Without using the cheat that was fixed before I got a chance to abuse it, dangit. Heh.)

This is the setup I used. I did the same for the 8-rune runs as well, just with more stuff.

Hi there... Could anyone please tell me how to unlock the secret levels?
senornacho 10 Mar, 2016 @ 2:35pm 
The secret level is unlocked in Crumble Zone. If you look in the upper right corner there should be a pit with a red border. You'll also see a couple pre-placed Spring Traps. To unlock the secret level you need to catapult the mobs from their lanes over into the pit. I'm not sure the exact number needed to unlock it but you'll get a notification that the map has been unlocked when you've done enough.

My technique is spamming black holes. You can't kill all of em. they can fall through. I do have an issue through with enemies glitching through walls and walking towards the exit. you can use barricades for them as long as you have been 'farming' money in the earlier levels. I did the level with only blood and at the last wave of enemies (the journeymans) Just 1 Guy got through and I lost ;_; would've won if it didnt happen. had no push traps doe.

Tip you can use a lvl 3 black hole to throw enemies towards the hole down from the start. place one barricade to trigger their suicide. (not on them.)

Pretty much same setup except instead I use some demons - they never even got close
