By the time you've killed 50 enemies, the price is discounted to one ingot. ![]() Kill 15 more enemies and it drops even further. ![]() Kill any 15 enemies over the course of the game (a very easy goal) and the price of that weapon drops by 25 percent. But Have a Nice Death incorporates a challenge system into its upgrades. Unlocking the Shake Spear costs a whopping 105 ingots to start, for example (you're typically only earning 10 or so a run if you're stuck on the first area of the game).
