Once you’ve completed a level, you have the option to replay it any time you wish, and have an easier time doing so as you’ll likely be at a higher level than you were when you first played the level. This will allow you to earn more coins, but don’t mistake this grinding process for a walk in the park. Sure, it will be much easier, but you have to be on the lookout for enemies trying to overwhelm you with their speed, thus making you lose the level.
Tap Quest: Gate Keeper has a total of 64 collectible relics, and collecting them will actually be the main reason you want to grind a previously completed level. Relics offer a permanent bonus for your hero, fairy, and tower, don’t cost any money, and can be kept forever to that end. They also drop randomly, with certain levels featuring specific relic drops, so it’s important to go grab them the moment you see them. In addition, you can also get five-star levels faster with the help of relics – the more relics you pick up, the more stars you can earn.
We briefly touched on power-ups in the first part of our Tap Quest: Gate Keeper tips and tricks, and adding to what we told you last time (you have to pick them up ASAP), you also have to level them up like you would your weapons and other pieces of equipment. These upgrades are typically more affordable, and while you won’t see big boosts, it’ll all pay off once you’re at the third or fourth world. That’s when you would usually be able to perform mass upgrades on some of them.
And while we’re still talking about power-ups, we should also remind you to use them at the right time. Critical Hit works best against bosses, the Leaf Shield can help you stall for time if you place it right over your gate, and the Lightning and Fire power-ups are ideal for “crowd control,” meaning taking out a huge wave of enemies.
You may usually end up with useless and/or mediocre items when you open the silver chest, but on occasion you might find something rare and powerful. Keep opening silver chests and you just might get lucky.
