Sources and community notes
- A forum post about the Waxen Temple says the portal appears in the starting room after the Gold Wizard.
- Gold and the coin altar were introduced in patch 0.2 (Aug 23, 2024).
- A commenter on the Spells guide mentions a tablet referring to two suns and a cup after the gold god is defeated, and stars in secret rooms showing sun, cup and eye mirrored. That matches the Spell of Return (Eye, Sun, Sun, Chalice), which suggests the tablet is how the spell is taught.
