Task Map
Click By The Problem You Need To Solve Now
This is not another section list. It separates the five common reader intents: first visit, systems, map blockers, cleanup, and video support.
When the blocker is damage, resources, or loadout choices, start from systems and build routing instead of map pages.
If the problem is route order, locations, regions, or side quest flow, skip straight to the map and quest layer.
When you are cleaning up before or after the finale, use the completion hub instead of backtracking through random posts.
When timing, movement, or arena structure matters, start with video support and then return to written pages for exact checks.

Complete Sections
Subsite Database Entrances
Sections are not only categories; they connect starter routes, systems, maps, completion, video, and updates into an expandable guide database.
Starter Route Clarify the first run, first act, first removals, and first branch choices before the deck snowballs.
Character and Class Lab Break down class identity, opening feel, and co-op roles without assuming first-game habits still transfer cleanly.
Deckbuilding Core Handle draw, energy, defense, and win condition first instead of stuffing early decks with greed.
Map and Act Routing Read elites, campfires, shops, and branch nodes in one route picture.
Relics and Economy Make gold, shops, removals, and relic value work as one economy plan.
Events, Elites, and Boss Prep Judge whether the current deck can support elites instead of pathing by impulse.
Co-op and Team Plan Set co-op communication, resource roles, and recovery rules before runs get noisy.
Energy, Draw, and Defense Loop Many weak runs fail because the loop is broken, not because damage looks low.
Difficulty and Climb Plan Returners, difficulty climbs, and consistent wins should not be treated as the same problem.
Patch and Meta Hub Keep patch shifts, returner reads, and archetype feel updates in one place.
Official Video Watchlist Use official footage to observe class identity, run pace, and co-op without treating trailers as exact card lists.
Systems & Builds Put draw, energy, defense, upgrades, and build identity into one framework first.
Platform and Performance FAQ Sort platform, controller, early access pace, and multiplayer assumptions first.
Returner Rules and Cleanup Put first-game habits, early access differences, and cleanup order into one line.
Map & Routes Handle map nodes, elites, campfires, shops, and cleanup routes.
Difficulty & Updates Keep returner checks, patches, difficulty, and long-tail goals together.

Site Positioning
The Slay the Spire 2 site is now live as a Phase 3 hot-game scaffold. The first goal is not to flood the site with thin pages, but to lock in the routes players will actually search for: what to do first, how the core systems work, how to route map and quest progress, and what can be missed.
This hub can now expand with release, update, and search-demand signals. The homepage, section pages, and FAQ are in place so future work can split into individual quests, gear pages, map routes, bosses, collectibles, and update explainers.
Core Sections
- Starter Route: first goals, route order, resources, and blocker checks.
- Systems and Builds: gear, skills, classes, vehicles, weapons, or core mechanics.
- Map and Quests: region order, quest nodes, side choices, and cleanup.
- Completion and Updates: achievements, collectibles, endings, DLC, patches, and long-term updates.
- Video Guides: route demonstrations, boss timing, map checks, cleanup, and future video backlog.
