The other monsters, elites and bosses are of such a large variety, including one enemy that is literally just a giant head, that it's hard to deduce much from their inclusion, other than perhaps the Spire has spanned ages and vast areas during its existence. There are a variety of enemies in Slay the Spire, from tiny, low-level slimes to massive, horrifying bosses. Though little can be determined from most of these enemies, the presence of slavers suggests that the Spire's function as some sort of prison is not too far-fetched. RELATED: Marvel's Avengers Deserves a Shot BEFORE You Criticize It Enemies Whatever their original aims, it seems as though each of these characters has since become trapped in Neow's desire for revenge against the Spire. Like the Watcher, she too has been sent to the Spire, however as part of some sort of ritual or test rather than to simply observe. Lastly, Silent, a rogue of sorts who uses poisons and agility to eliminate her foes. An ancient combat automaton that has somehow become self-aware, Defect's desire to enforce balance seems to have been influenced by Neow towards her own ends. Defect is very different from the others. From the Watcher's memories, she seems to be devoid of emotion, simplying follows her assignments. Watcher is a monk-type character, a blind ascetic who has come to assess the Spire. From the fragments of memory revealed by the Sensory Stone, these two things seem to be related, as the demons are suggested to have been the ones who killed off the rest of Ironclad's tribe. Ironclad is a warrior who made a deal with demons to become powerful. We do know a few things about Slay the Spire's playable characters. RELATED: X-Men Legends 3 Is Long Overdue The Playable Characters Over and over again, they die and are reborn, all apparently as part of Neow's bid to finally destroy the Spire. One excerpt within the game says that, "Those resurrected by Neow remember only fragments of their past selves, cursed to fight for eternity." This explains why players know so little about the Ironclad, Watcher, Defect and Silent, as these playable characters know so little about themselves. Then, she uses her powers of resurrection to bring them back to life and send them up once more. Neow sends adventurers up the Spire to try and settle this grudge for her, often to their deaths.
Whether Neow was exiled from higher up the Spire or somewhere entirely different is unknown, however she seems to hold a personal hatred for the Spire, perhaps because it is her prison. RELATED: MechWarrior: How the Clans ALMOST Conquered the Universe NeowĪ pale, whale-like creature with three yellow eyes, Neow is not your ordinary quest-giver. Described as an Ancient, which could mean one of the first gods or magical creatures of the world of Slay the Spire, it is said that Neow was exiled to the bottom of the Spire. While Spireblight does certainly seem to be a phenomenon, the NPC Neow (who first greets the characters as they enter the Spire) may be able to shed more light on why these characters climb the Spire again and again trying to destroy it. However, this sort of noble mission does not seem to align exactly with the atmosphere of the game, nor the personalities of the characters within it. As such, the playable characters may be trying to destroy the Spire to halt the progress of this Spireblight across the land. This suggests that a sort of disease or decay can spread to things influenced by the Spire. The Spire's nature is still largely a mystery, with one in-game reference describing it as of unknown origin, but there are references to something known as "Spireblight" affecting the world within in the game. The Spire itself is an obvious area of interest in this world, as it's never made explicit what the Spire is and why players are trying to slay it.
