Slay the Spire 2 — Miniature Tent Guide
Miniature Tent is a shop relic that removes the hardest decision at every Rest Site — instead of choosing between healing and upgrading, you simply do both. With other campfire relics, it becomes one of the strongest relic combos in the game.
Quick Answer
Miniature Tent lets you perform every Rest Site action simultaneously — heal, upgrade, and any other campfire options all in one visit. Buy it from the Merchant whenever you see it. The earlier you get it, the more value it generates.

- ▸Every available option activates in one visit
- ▸No tradeoffs — take everything
Why It's So Strong
Rest Sites are some of the most valuable nodes in any run. Healing keeps you alive through tough fights; upgrading improves your deck's consistency and damage ceiling. Normally, you must sacrifice one for the other.
Miniature Tent eliminates that tradeoff entirely. Over a typical run with 4–8 Rest Sites, this compounds into a massive advantage — your deck stays healthier and more upgraded than any run without it.
The earlier you buy it, the more Rest Sites it activates on — making early-act Merchant visits especially important.
Best Relic Combos
Miniature Tent becomes exceptional when paired with other Rest Site relics. These relics normally compete with healing and upgrading — Miniature Tent makes them free extra actions.
Shovel — Dig for a relic at Rest Sites
Normally competes with healing/upgrading. With Miniature Tent, you dig AND heal AND upgrade in one stop.
Peace Pipe — Remove a card at Rest Sites
Deck thinning normally costs your heal or upgrade. Miniature Tent makes it free — remove a card and still do everything else.
Girya — Gain Strength at Rest Sites (up to 3 times)
Stack Strength while still healing and upgrading. Extremely strong for Ironclad.
Cauldron — Brew a potion at Rest Sites
Free potion every campfire on top of your normal actions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Miniature Tent do in Slay the Spire 2?
Miniature Tent allows you to perform every available Rest Site action in a single visit, instead of choosing just one. This means you can heal, upgrade cards, and use any other campfire options all at the same time.
Where do you get Miniature Tent?
Miniature Tent is a shop-only relic. It can only be purchased from the Merchant. It does not drop from Elites, bosses, or events.
Is Miniature Tent worth buying?
Yes — almost always. The ability to heal AND upgrade at every Rest Site is a massive efficiency gain over an entire run. The earlier you buy it, the more value it generates.
Does Miniature Tent work with other Rest Site relics?
Yes, and this is where it becomes exceptional. Relics like Shovel (dig for a relic), Peace Pipe (remove a card), Girya (gain Strength), and Cauldron (brew a potion) all normally compete with healing and upgrading. With Miniature Tent, they all activate for free on top of your normal campfire actions.
Does Miniature Tent work for all classes?
Yes. Every class benefits from healing and upgrading simultaneously. There is no class for which Miniature Tent is a bad pickup.
How many Rest Sites do you typically visit in a run?
A typical run includes 4–8 Rest Sites depending on your pathing. Each one with Miniature Tent active gives you double the normal value — the relic compounds significantly over a full run.
Is Miniature Tent better than other shop relics?
It depends on what else is available, but Miniature Tent is consistently one of the highest-value shop relics because it improves every future Rest Site visit. Unlike combat relics that only help in fights, Miniature Tent helps your entire run trajectory.
