Do i need to always start in Goldmine 1?

[Parusoid]

Even after defeating a boss? Its extremly unfun to go through all the levels all over again regarldes of your progress

You can go to any level 1 of each mine of you found the "mine map" for each area.

But if you start from goldmine 1 you can collect more artifacts or blessings and find new blueprints.

there is an unlock you need besides the mine map, but youll get it eventually

Not really, when you get the upgraded bomb (The one that costs 2,500), as long as you've made it to the next zone, you can speak to a person down some stairs behind the blue walls. Once you beat an area (Say, goldmines), you'll get a map for Dungeon etc. You can use him to travel to Dungeon 1 from Goldmine 1 then,

But, in mine and many others opinion, this is a bad idea, due to you missing out on all of those relics, blessings, keys, bombs and other things. If you try to skip too far ahead, you'll end up being too weak for the next place. So, I'd suggest always starting goldmine 1.

Which to be fair is a bit sad.
This "quick travel" thing is hardly useful, because you give up the opportunity of having 4 more relics, so yeah, the way it's implemented today, you still have to go through all of it all over again, it could be nice if the fast travel was implemented in a way to avoid that.
