Othermine

Welcome to the Othermine! UnderMines brand new rogue mode. Othermine is unlocked when the player completes the 4 main zones and enters Nowhere at the end of their run. Once unlocked, you can speak with The Gatekeeper in what we are now calling the terminal. The terminal is a room that sits to the north of the main lobby. Giving The Gatekeeper a Nether will open the Othermine. The peasant takes nothing into or out of the Othermine except for Thorium and Nether. So each Othermine run starts the peasant at zero upgrades (with a couple of exceptions like Glasses) and zero gold. Once you enter, you will be dropped into the Antechamber where you will receive some random upgrades, and will need to choose a Relic, Blessing, Familiar, and Curse. Then youre off!

Nether

Nether is a new currency found in the UnderMine. Primarily you can earn it by crafting items once you have unlocked The Gatekeeper. You will also earn a Nether by completing an Othermine run. Once nearly all items have been crafted, you can discover a Nether recipe which will allow The Gatekeeper to craft it for Thorium.

The Othermine Crown

When a peasant enters the Othermine they don the Othermine crown. The crown can be upgraded in appearance by completing Othermine runs. However, if the peasant ever dies inside the Othermine, their crown will be lost and revert back to its default state. Win streaks will be tracked on the save file. Its important to note that a streak and crown can only be lost inside the Othermine. Dying in the UnderMine wont count.

Magic Mirror

There is a new magic mirror that appears in Arkanos library, shortly after the beginning of the game. This mirror will randomize your appearance and name.

Explorers Boots

Getting around the UnderMine can sometimes be tedious, especially when hunting for secrets. You can now buy an upgrade from Hoodie called the Explorers Boots. These boots will give the peasant a 40% out-of-combat movement speed boost. They automatically become disabled when taking damage, entering combat, or jumping. They can also be manually toggled off with a rebindable key.
