Gauntlet Mode is an optional high-difficulty mode for Slay the Spire 2 focused on endurance, escalating encounters, and preventing powerful late-game builds from steamrolling the final acts.
Instead of simply increasing enemy health and damage, Gauntlet Mode changes the structure of a run. Normal combat nodes can contain multiple consecutive battles, elite nodes begin with an additional normal encounter, and every act ends with two bosses fought in sequence.
The pressure increases as the run progresses. Act 1 gives players time to establish their build, while Acts 2 and 3 introduce more frequent and longer gauntlets. Player damage and Block are also reduced in later acts so completed builds cannot effortlessly erase every additional encounter.

Surviving a gauntlet grants additional compensation:
This is an early public alpha intended for balance testing and feedback. The core encounter systems are functional, but unusual interactions may occur with modded characters, multiplayer, save loading, or future STS2 updates.
Future versions are planned to add new enemy mechanics, additional difficulty modifiers, expanded configuration options, and further balance adjustments.
Feedback is especially helpful regarding difficulty progression, reward balance, multiplayer stability, and whether the later acts remain challenging without feeling unnecessarily slow.

The pressure increases as the run progresses. Act 1 gives players time to establish their build, while Acts 2 and 3 introduce more frequent and longer gauntlets. Player damage and Block are also reduced in later acts so completed builds cannot effortlessly erase every additional encounter.
