Teeth: Stone and Metal upgrades that shape probabilities at the Devil Statue
Sol Cesto’s core Teeth system offers one of two to four lasting upgrades in the Devil Statue room. Stone teeth change rules and probabilities; metal teeth provide powerful ongoing effects or curses. Favoring 4×4 grid probabilities is central. Exact values may change by version, so this page focuses on mechanics and choices; check values in the game.
Teeth: lasting choices at the Devil Statue that shape your run
Teeth are lasting upgrades chosen one at a time from two to four offers in a Devil Statue room. Stone teeth change rules and probabilities, altering the appearance of safe tiles, strawberries, chests, traps and monsters; Metal teeth give powerful ongoing effects, curses or combinations. Shape the odds to fit your build and check each Tooth’s exact values in the in-game Statue description.
Each row choice on Sol Cesto’s 4×4 grid involves probabilities for monsters, chests, strawberries, traps and other tiles. Teeth are lasting upgrades that change those probabilities or rules themselves, providing a way to manage luck instead of being controlled by it.
📿 Obtain them at the Devil Statue
Teeth are obtained in the Devil Statue room. You are offered two to four Teeth and choose one to equip as a lasting upgrade. The others are not obtained. Your choice shapes the run’s direction.
🎲 Favor probabilities
Hovering over a row displays tile probabilities and predicted damage. Use Teeth to create more favorable appearances of safe tiles and desired resources.
🪨 Stone teeth: change rules and probabilities
These change the game’s rules and probabilities, raising or lowering appearances of strawberries, chests, traps, monsters and other tiles to shape a run.
⚙️ Metal teeth: ongoing effects and curses
Rather than probabilities, these give powerful ongoing effects or curses/combinations. Some bring risk alongside their strength; choose according to whether the build can exploit the benefit.
⚠️ Exact individual values and names are not listed
Individual names and precise percentages can change by version, and unconfirmed information circulates widely. This page therefore excludes unconfirmed names and numbers, focusing on mechanics and decision principles. Always read the effects offered in the in-game Statue description before choosing.
The broad categories are Stone teeth and Metal teeth. Their roles differ substantially, so understanding these two categories comes first.
🎯 Role in a build
The basic way to favor your odds: increase appearances of safe tiles and desired resources.
🎯 Role in a build
Strong effects that can define a build. Some involve risks, so choose selectively.
Teeth are obtained in the Devil Statue room. On entry, two to four Teeth are offered, and you choose only one to equip. It remains effective for that run; the unselected Teeth are not obtained.
1. Enter the Statue room
Entering a room with the Devil Statue begins the Tooth selection.
2. Compare two to four offers
Read the descriptions and compare effects against their risks.
3. Choose one
Select the one matching your build direction. It is a lasting choice, so consider it carefully.
⚠️ Offered types, counts and effects vary between runs; exact values also vary by version. Beyond the one-of-two-to-four mechanism described here, check detailed values in the in-game Statue description.
With only one lasting upgrade from two to four offers, choose which probabilities to favor according to the build’s direction. These are principles from the source’s checked material; verify individual values in the game.
🛡️ Favor safe tiles and resources
Favor safe tiles and healing strawberries to avoid damage, or chests/gold to gather resources. Stone teeth raise or lower appearances, so the usual approach is to increase tiles you want and reduce traps or strong enemies you want to avoid.
⚖️ Evaluate risky tradeoffs
Powerful ongoing Metal effects, curses and combinations may include drawbacks. Decide according to whether the build can exploit the benefit or offset the drawback with healing, items or another method.
🧭 Choose a build direction early
Since you obtain one Tooth at a time, decide early on a survival, resource or offensive direction and prioritize reinforcing it. Contradictory choices can dilute the build.
Probability manipulation works with character-specific Sun Power abilities and consumables. Use Teeth to favor desired tiles, then Sun Power and items to handle the remaining risk.
☀️ Combine with Sun Power
Sun Powers provide strong activations, such as the Mage linking safe tiles to enemies to clear without damage. Favoring safe tiles or useful situations with Teeth also creates more opportunities for Sun Power.
🎒 Fill gaps with consumables
Healing, row/column clears and enemy weakening cover risks Teeth cannot remove. For example, use items to offset the risk added by offensive Teeth.
💪 Align with Strength / Magic investment
Combat resolves immediately through Strength/Magic comparisons. Favoring enemies your developed stat exceeds can turn dangerous tiles into safe ones. Align Teeth, stats, Sun Power and items for steadier progress.
