+The amount of souls needed to collect a chalice in a given level is determined by the following formula:<br><code>(Total Souls in Level * Chalice Modifier) [[wikipedia:Bitwise operation#Bit shifts|>>]] 12</code>
+For example, the total amount of souls in [[The Graveyard]] is '''44''' and the level's chalice modifier is '''2458'''. Therefore:
+<pre>
+(44 * 2458) >> 12
+>> 12 = 26
+</pre>
+There are four chalice modifiers used in the game:
+*'''3687''' - the chalice modifier for most levels. This makes it so that around '''85-90%''' of a level's total amount of souls needs to be collected to fill the chalice.
+*'''2458''' - [[The Graveyard]]'s chalice modifier. This reduces the number of souls needed to collect the chalice to about '''59%''' of the total amount, presumably because this is the first level with a chalice.
+*'''3072''' - [[The Pumpkin Serpent]]'s chalice modifier. This reduces the amount of souls needed to about '''73%'''. This was likely done because several [[Pumpkin Plant]]s are set to spawn around the [[Pumpkin King]] periodically and waiting for them all to spawn can take quite a while.
+*'''3891''' - [[The Haunted Ruins]]'s chalice modifier. This increases the amount of souls needed to about '''92%''' of the total amount in the level. This is likely so that the player is forced to collect the chalice during the countdown sequence.
