====== Dungeon Provisions and Treasure Chests ======

The dungeon system takes its preparation-and-loot approach from **Darkest Dungeon**. Its currently documented provisions are **Skeleton Keys** and **Antidotes**: keys improve chest claims, while Antidotes protect against new poison applications. Neither replaces suitable gear or attention to enemy skills.

===== Skeleton Keys =====

Skeleton Keys have two forms: the provision bought outside the dungeon and the in-dungeon key. Bringing the provision through an active dungeon entrance converts it into the dungeon form, which must stay in the **hotbar** and stacks to **4**.

For an ordinary dungeon treasure chest:

  - Clear the local monsters and wait for the room to be marked cleared.
  - Hold an in-dungeon Skeleton Key and right-click the chest without sneaking.
  - The chest consumes **one key** and awards enhanced loot, including hidden-compartment rewards.
  - Collect the drops with enough hotbar space available.

A key does not bypass the room-clear lock. It is spent only on a fresh, eligible chest claim. The two halves of a double chest are **one claim**, not two independently lootable chests.

===== Opening Without a Key =====

You can force an eligible treasure chest without a key, but risk losing its contents:

^ Chance ^ Outcome ^
| 25% | A trap applies **Poison VI for 10 seconds**; no chest loot is awarded. |
| 25% | A hidden mechanism destroys the valuables; no chest loot is awarded. |
| 50% | The chest gives ordinary treasure, with fewer loot rolls than a keyed opening. |

**The claim is used before this roll.** A trap or destroyed valuables does not leave the same chest available for a second attempt with a key. Antidote can prevent the poison effect, but cannot undo the failed claim or recover the missing loot.

^ Chest size ^ Keyed loot rounds ^ Successful unkeyed loot rounds ^
| Single chest | 4 | 2 |
| Double chest | 10 | 5 |

Each round is a loot roll, not a guaranteed number of items. Keys give access to enhanced rewards as well as more rolls. A chest can be claimed only once per run; re-clicking does not generate another reward.

Unused in-dungeon keys disappear during exit redemption and are **not converted into money**. Bring enough for your plan, but do not treat leftover keys as cash treasure.

===== Antidotes =====

Antidotes are ordinary consumables and can be carried in the main inventory. Drink one **before** a poison attack or risky chest attempt.

  * Protection lasts **150 seconds (2 minutes 30 seconds)** from consumption.
  * It prevents new applications of the **Poison** potion effect while active.
  * It **does not remove poison already affecting you**.
  * A warning appears with **10 seconds** remaining.
  * Drinking another refreshes protection from the new consumption time; durations are not added together.
  * The item defines **Hunger III for 10 seconds** as its side effect and leaves a glass bottle. Bring food.

Antidote does not prevent direct attack damage, Wither, Slowness, blindness, knockback, or every effect with a poison-themed name. For example, a projectile called acid spit may simply deal direct damage. Read the encounter guide rather than assuming every green effect is covered.

===== Crafting and Buying =====

The Antidote recipe uses the [[enhanced_crafting_table|Enhanced Crafting Table]]:

^ Slot row ^ Left ^ Center ^ Right ^
| Top | Empty | Azure Bluet | Empty |
| Middle | Fermented Spider Eye | Spider Eye | Fermented Spider Eye |
| Bottom | Empty | Sunflower | Empty |

The **Supplies Trader** sells one Antidote for **$275** and one Skeleton Key provision for **$500**. Selected traders also offer heirloom or ingredient exchanges. Check the trader and Slimefun Guide for available trades.

===== Preparation Checklist =====

  * Ruins: prepare Antidotes and food; recheck protection before fighting insects or claiming chests.
  * Fire: prepare Fire Resistance and enough supplies for a longer run; poison protection does not replace fire preparation.
  * Other encounter sets: distinguish poison from wither, slows, life drain, and direct damage.
  * Every run: reserve hotbar space for converted keys and the loot you hope to carry out.
