Does it matter whether you kill spymaster inside the spymaster room or not?

I had a halfway decent 44 room temple, not good but decent. Only 1 spymaster in my longest chain. Produced steadily around 5 div or temple which was great for me.

Now I gave ran 170 rooms and no lock. Before, I got 1-2 locks every run, from only 22 rooms. I got 18 useless medallions, "reroll restricted room after architect" etc

So, now I am back down to 30 rooms and 1 div pr run. That said, I was clumsy once and killed the architect before all the room was finished, and when I then got no lock I lost many rooms.

In the last 4 temples, I have lured the spymaster out of her rooms, to fight in surroundings where I can see what happens. Not all the visual noise and smog/fog inside spy room. And I started to think "what if she needs to be killed inside the room to get a lock"

If this I just bad RNG, which is probably is, then it really makes the game suck. You work hard to build something, and then whoops it's gone without you having any way to prevent it.

I don’t think it matters if she is pulled out or not (who knows though I haven’t tried it)

But just for fun I always save the architect for last, so that when I get the “room completed” and potentially get a lock it’s from killing the spymaster. Somehow that makes it feel like I’m getting more locks than when I complete the room by killing the last white mob.

You need 4-5 spymasters III to consistently drop a lock on average. And can still get unlucky

I don't believe where you kill the spymaster matters.

I use Milky's Easy Temple. I am currently at 33ish rooms, I have 117% rarity and I'm getting 5-7 divs at the moment. I may be getting super lucky but I am almost always on 6/6 locks. If you don't get locks, place a room on your spymaster (like a wart sticking out) and it can help save your room. You'll eventually lose the wart, and hopefully by then you'll have some locks!

Also I don't know if this is how it works but if you need a lock or two maybe you can tag along and snag a couple from my temple!

I'm confused. The doors lock, how are you pulling her out?

I have 11 spies and have had some nasty streaks with only 1 lock a run and even lost a couple rooms a good few times prior to getting 11

Why do you need spymasters? I've gotten plenty of lock medallions from other rooms. I don't run the spynaster anymore because that was the only room I was consistently dying in. Lol
