Abyssal Baths Event Guide — Slay the Spire 2
The Abyssal Baths is a mysterious event in Slay the Spire 2 that lets you repeatedly sacrifice HP to stay in the bath. Many players wonder if pushing further unlocks a secret reward. The short answer: it doesn't — but here's everything you need to know.
What the Abyssal Baths Event Does
When you enter the Abyssal Baths, you're given the option to remain in the bath and sacrifice HP. Each time you choose to stay, you lose additional health — and the amount increases with each use.
The event allows you to repeat this multiple times, which makes it feel like there might be a hidden reward deeper in. There isn't. If you keep going, the bath will eventually kill your character and end the run.
Warning: The game will warn you before the final use becomes fatal. If you ignore that warning and continue, your run ends immediately.
Is There a Secret Reward?
No. Many players have tested the Abyssal Baths by repeatedly choosing the HP sacrifice option. The result is always the same: you lose more and more health until your character dies.
The event looks suspicious because roguelikes often hide secrets behind repeated interactions. The Abyssal Baths plays on that instinct — but so far, no secret reward or hidden outcome has been discovered.
The only confirmed outcome of pushing too far is a dead run.
When Should You Use the Abyssal Baths?
Safe to Use Once or Twice When:
- • You're experimenting and don't mind the risk
- • Your HP is very high and the loss is negligible
- • You want to see the event text
Leave Immediately When:
- • You're in Act 1 or early Act 2
- • Your HP is already below 50%
- • A tough elite or boss fight is ahead
- • You have no healing options
Bottom line: The Abyssal Baths offers no meaningful reward for staying. The safest play is always to leave early. There's no upside to sacrificing HP here — only downside.
