Elevator checkpoints

Unlock, then leave

The elevator adds a floor only after you have been there, and only when the number is a multiple of 5. A run that dies on floor 39 does not save 40. Touch the stop, ride home if you need to, and come back in the morning.

There is no clear time for any of these floors. Infested floors, dungeon floors, and a bad-luck ladder drought all change the hour. A staircase skips one floor and cannot be placed on floor 120.

When the list empties

Danger in the Deep resets the elevator. You walk the bands again. The Skull Key and the stronger-monster changes from floor 120 stay.

Coal piles of six sit on floors 12, 18, 28, 38, 52, 58, 78, and 118. Floors 12, 52, and 92 already have a ladder when you arrive. Use them when you are passing through. They are not a reason to ignore a low health bar.

Empty energy or 2:00 am in the Mines costs up to 1,000g. Empty health costs up to 15,000g and can take gear. The elevator is how you bank a stop before either of those.
