Скачать или смотреть New World - The Hermit Arcana Card in the secret room!

I’m not a native English speaker, so I use AI tools to help with translation. Please excuse me if anything sounds unnatural.

After defeating three BOSSes, we kept pushing deeper and found three more secret rooms along the way. These rooms don't share a single layout; earlier on, I even saw a secret room with the same structure, but its switch wouldn't activate, so we couldn't enter. Through the bars, though, we could glimpse a faint glow inside. This makes me think The Hermit isn't tied to just one secret room—it can likely spawn across multiple secret rooms.

The reward pattern seems consistent: each BOSS you defeat upgrades the secret-room rewards. Early on it's mostly Sterling; after beating three BOSSes in a row, secret rooms can even spawn chests that grant gear or 500 coins, which is a noticeable jump in value.

We also tried a reverse test: explore first but don't open the secret rooms, then, after defeating three BOSSes, go back and open the earlier rooms. We checked three such rooms—each only gave Sterling, with no chest or Arcana card. This suggests that “discover first, open later” doesn't necessarily catch you up to the upgraded reward tier, or there are other conditions we didn't meet. In our sample, the higher-tier rewards didn't trigger.

Based on this, optimal Catacombs routing should depend on your goal:
If you're farming Sterling or Crown tokens, first locate all BOSS rooms, then clear the BOSSes in sequence.
If you're aiming for coins or specifically The Hermit, first identify at least three BOSSes, defeat them in order, and then expand exploration to uncover new secret rooms.

我們在擊敗三個 BOSS 之後持續深入探索，沿途陸續找到三間新的 secret room。這些房間的格局並不唯一；我甚至在較前面的區域也看到一間相同結構的 secret room，但當時開關無法啟動、無法進入，只能透過牢籠縫隙看到裡頭微弱的光芒。這讓我傾向認為：The Hermit 並非只綁定在一個 secret room 上，應該可能分布於多個 secret room。

觀察到的獎勵規則也很一致：每打倒一個 BOSS，secret room 的獎勵就會升級。前期多半只給 Sterling；等到連續擊敗三個 BOSS 之後，secret room 甚至開始出現箱子，可直接拿到裝備或 500 金幣，整體收益顯著提升。

我們也做過反向測試：先探索但不開啟 secret room，等擊敗三名 BOSS 後再回頭開早先發現的三間 secret room。結果三間都只給 Sterling，沒有出現箱子或 Arcana 牌。這表示「先發現、後補開」不一定能補上升級的獎勵階段，或是有其他條件限制，至少在我們的樣本裡沒有觸發高階獎勵。

基於以上，我認為 Catacombs 的最佳策略應該依獎勵目標分流：
如果目標是 Sterling 或 Crown 代幣，應該先把所有 BOSS 房間定位出來，再依序清理 BOSS 就好；
如果目標是 coins 或鎖定 The Hermit，建議先至少定位出三個 BOSS 以後按順序擊敗，接著再展開新區域探索尋找 secret room。
