Hover over hazards.

Description

Don't float away... Just kiddin'. With this balloon, you'll hover just high enough to avoid floor hazards.

Chester's sales pitch

The Nimbus Balloon is a relic in Pocket Dungeon.

Usage[]

The Nimbus Balloon lifts the playable character off the ground, making them avoid any effect caused by floor hazards (Poison and Lava Puddles, Ice Patches, Spikes, pits, water) for all of the remainder of the run.

Like all other items collected, they are lost upon return to the Camp or when restarting a run. They need to be found and purchased again in the following dungeon runs in order to continue to favor of their benefits.

Availability[]

The Nimbus Balloon can be purchased for Gems 6000 from Chester's shop during runs of the Pocket Dungeon. The price rises by Gems 1250 for each Relic the player already obtained during their run. It is also randomly obtainable from Glitzem's Relic Chance Game and the first and third Shrines.
