Slay The Spire – How to unlock the Heart
Jan 28, 2026
In this short video I show exactly how to unlock and fight the Heart — the ultimate final boss in Slay The Spire. You’ll learn the two-run requirement, which characters count, and how to get the three special keys (Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire). Follow these clear steps to trigger the Heart encounter: win a full run with the Ironclad, Silent and Defect, then in a later run collect the three keys (Ruby from using Recall at a campfire, Emerald from a buffed elite, Sapphire from choosing the key in a chest) and finish Act 3 to face the Heart.
