Valkyrie

is an NPC who is first encountered during a run and then can be found in the Magic Area above the Gravestone once the player has unlocked Boss Rush Mode.
== Level Mode ==
In Level Mode, she can be found in Floor 3 levels in rooms marked with a yellow exclamation mark on the minimap. When interacted with, she will request the player to pay her with coins for a maximum of 3 times, each purchase costing the same, for one Feather of Valkyrie. The feathers are required for Boss Rush Mode Entry.
After obtaining 3 feathers from her, she will stop spawning inside the dungeon. The player can only meet her in the Magic Area to enter Boss Rush. Feathers are also made available from Wanted Tasks.
== Magic Area ==
She can be found floating over a gravestone guarding the entrance to Boss Rush Mode.
Interacting with her will open a portal to Boss Rush Mode. She will take a feather each time the player enters the mode.
== Quotes ==
*When found in a run:
**:"Could you lend me a hand?"
*After paying some gold to help her:
**:"Thanks for your help! We'll meet again."
*After paying for 3 Feather of Valkyrie:
**:"Thanks for your help. I am done with the dungeon. See you again in the Magic Area!"
*When interacting with her in the Magic Area:
**:"Do you really want to enter the Boss Rush?"
*After activating Boss Rush mode:
**:"You have x more chances today."
**:"You have used up your chances today, feel free to return tomorrow." (If the player has already played boss rush 3 times in a day):
*Upon interacting again after activating Boss Rush Mode:
**:"Are you trembling with fear?"
**:"Ready for the challenge?"
*When the player tries activating Boss Rush mode without any feathers:
**:"Show me your Feather of Valkyrie!"
**:"Run out of feathers? Complete the task and get your reward from Officer!"
== Trivia ==
* This NPC was added in Update 2.2.0.
* She was originally found in the Garden, but got moved into the Magic Area in Update 2.5.0.
** Before having moved to the Magic Area, interacting with her after buying 3 feathers would make her say: "See you again in the Garden!"
*She seems to be carrying a staff that slightly resembles an upgraded Wooden Cross.
*She is based on the eponymous creature in Norse mythology who chooses who may live/die in battle, hence the Viking appearance.
*Since an update not later than 2.8.0, when she first appears in a run, she takes the form of a female Viking. After helping her 3 times, however, she transforms into her deity form. In past versions, Valkyrie always assumes the deity sprite.
** This female Viking is also seen as the icon of "Strong Body" condition after clearing Cave without taking health damage. The sprite in particular predates Valkyrie and was later recycled.
