Gold in Endless mode

[arkemiffo]

I've just played a game of Endless to grind up some gold to buy the last few pieces to my Wizard.
When I died on level 25 in the end, I had about 70k gold. At the count-up I didn't get more then 35k though. Only half.
Anyone know why this is?
I bought one Turkey at level 15 I think (was running to the end of the previous level, didn't think and got a group on me that got a hit in).
Other than that I just picked up stuff in the level as normal, is that being deducted later on?

Every time you die, you lose a portion of your gold in a pile on the ground where you died. You have to respawn and physically walk back over the pile to pick it back up so you don't lose it.

The only way to keep all of your gold in Endless Mode is to end the game via menus. If you die in Endless Mode, while having no skull coins to respawn, you won't be able to pick the very last pile of gold that you lost.

50% loss is pretty high. I think it's likely that you died a multiple times at the end of your game, dropping many gold piles. In the chaos, you probably didn't notice the piles or try to pick them up. 20% is normal if you manage to pick up all of your gold after each death before getting the game over.

Ahh, that makes a lot of sense.
The last room was very chaotic. I had 4 summoning stones up, and I could hardly move around in the room, so it's very likely I missed 2 piles of gold before the last one that killed me as well.

Thank you for clarifying that.
Normally I do get the piles I drop on death, but this was a particularly busy room, so I was just trying to get to a more empty area of it, which shifted between each death.
