So I'm at the Money Domain, and have no idea what to do.  I start with -1000 Perika with no clear way to get more - I could do the gambling tables, but they're explicitly said to be rigged, and I can't do the duel because everyone is still at basically no hit points from the fight earlier (Aura was healed but no one else was).  Also, what did the NPC near the arena mean by using an item before the fight???

EDIT:  Nvm, found the tunnel which inexplicably has chests of Perika stored around, at the end of which was instructions for how to rig the blackjack game.  Why did they even build that switch?  lol

EDIT2:  I seem to have collected all the sources of Perika, but I can't find all the refugees.  I've found the three in the center that I saved from the Eyes of Greed, the three at the human derby, and the two at the arena, but there's supposed to be two more, and I know they aren't in the VIP area because the game asks me if I want to give up if I try to proceed there...

EDIT3:  Found another refugee at the gambling area... one more...

EDIT4:  There, it's the one being groped by two men, I had to talk to one of the men instead of her.  Now hopefully I have enough Perika left for whatever's in the VIP area...

EDIT5:  Huh, the final fight with Mammon was a bit anti-climactic lol.  Good thing that increased my corruption limit, I was worried that I had accidentally softlocked myself since the fight automatically turned on Star Knightess (bringing my corruption up to 27/27).

EDIT6:  Well, shit, I guess all that Perika is useless now.  I still had that 4000 from beating Arwin.  Maybe I should have liquidated a couple stats during the fight so I could cast the purification spell.  ... Yup, reloaded and did that.  20 max hp for -3 corruption seems like a pretty good trade to me.

Using items before the fight means weapon/armour coatings. I think you're intended to use poison since the duelists have a lot of health and can heal themselves.

A Watsonian explanation for the switch would be that Arwin needs a way to win the card game, either because he's bound by rule 0 and needs to win the Perika 'fairly' or because the money magic doesn't work without a way for both parties to win.

The Doylist reason is of course because Aura needs to be able to get just enough Perika to save everyone and finish the festival without dipping into lewds or burning stats if she does everything right, and another stealth segment fits the game better than forcing players to win a blackjack minigame.

Since Aura ends up using the collar anyway, the best time for stat liquification is during the Pokémon battle:
