Stuck in Floor 4 Armory
I'm stuck at the armory: the right and middle sigils are highlighted but I can't find a way to the last one. It seems that I'd either get a silver key from somewhere or turn off a spike floor nearby. Could you give me any pointers?

Never mind, I missed a small room at the north end, containing the silver key.

Just a heads up to be careful when traveling among different floors, using your keys, and choosing your save points. There may be situations where you can get yourself stuck. There's definitely situations where you can prevent yourself access to areas while still able to continue on with the adventure.

For starters I recommend not using keys on rooms that only contain treasure until everything else possible has been opened. It will provide a surplus of keys for more critical doors.

Oh thanks for the warning, from now on I'll be more careful about spending my keys.

Are there really situations where you can get stuck? I've thought about the possibility, but it doesn't seem possible as all the doors are logically connected, on one floor at least. I can't imagine a situation where using a key on a previous floor would get you stuck.

Skirmisher: I tried saving keys once. Ended up with this.

Oh that is a lot of keys!

Given the nature of the bugs in this game, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a potential to get stuck.

So I finished a full run a while ago just to see if you can really get trapped. Seems like there's nowhere you can get full-on stuck, as there are just enough keys on each floor to open every door. Most keys are either tucked away in corners or hidden behind fire/spike traps which you need to flip switches to deactivate, so just keep an eye on your map for key symbols and check for dark spots you might've missed. Only a few doors have another key behind them like the gold key behind a bronze door on Floor 12(?) which can be easily opened due to the large amount of bronze keys on Floors 10-12.

But you could also take Skirmisher's advice and save keys from earlier floors to use on the second or third floor of the act you picked them up on, though. It does help save quite a bit of time if you're just trying to reach another floor/boss quickly, but you will lose out on quite a bit of loot.
