Quick facts
Statue Of The Dwarf King unlocks from Mining Mastery and costs 20 Iridium Bars.
Each day it offers two of five mining powers, and the player chooses one for that in-game day.
Daily options are predetermined, so multiple statues or restarting the day do not reroll the choices.
Choose the mine route after the statue
The statue turns each mining day into a targeted decision. Check the two powers first, then choose whether the day is about depth, ore, coal, geodes, bomb clearing, Volcano work, or Museum cleanup.
- Use ladder and shaft chance for Skull Cavern depth pushes.
- Use +1 ore for Iridium, Radioactive Ore, Cinder Shards, and bar production.
- Use bomb immunity when the route will be dense with bombs, Mega Bombs, Explosive Ammo, or Volcano explosions.
Spend Iridium Bars deliberately
The recipe cost is high enough to compete with late-game tools, buildings, sprinklers, obelisks, and Anvil rerolls. Craft it when mining days are frequent enough for the daily power to pay back.
- Keep it near the morning route so the power choice is never forgotten.
- Pair powers with Luck, food, coffee, staircases, bombs, and inventory space.
- Use coal and geode powers for supply recovery days instead of only deep dives.
