Operation Deep-Dive Treasure

---

Shipping accidents have been on the rise recently, pushing the local waters past a critical threshold. The cargo that sank beneath the waves has driven all manner of creatures into a frenzy, making these waters perilous, but also opening the door to unusual opportunities. By salvaging lost cargo, searching for treasure, and capturing frenzied creatures to bring back to the Wingalet for care, we can help restore the waters to their natural state while bringing considerable benefits to the aquarium...

Map Description

Operation Deep-Dive Treasure is a part of the Sunny Summer Fontinalia event.

It is unlocked by completing the Event World Quest Elegance? Safety First! in Sunny Summer Fontinalia (Event) and accessed by interacting with the door with the icon aboard the Wingalet.

Tutorial

Rules

In "Operation Deep-Dive Treasure," your main objective is to defeat and capture rare, dangerous creatures, as well as look for even more precious collectibles, then surface within the time given.

---

You can approach most dangerous creatures after stunning them. To do that, simply attack them until their HP is reduced to the minimum. Once they're stunned, you can capture them and store them in your Treasure Inventory.
Do note that certain powerful creatures marked with a special icon are capable of dealing more damage, so be extra careful when you're dealing with them!

---

Open the Treasure Inventory interface to move or rotate items to adjust their position within the inventory.
Any nearby items available for pickup will also be displayed on the left side of the Treasure Inventory interface.
Arrange items and rotate them as necessary to maximize the available space in your inventory.

---

Some of the larger creatures will require further subduing after being stunned before you can capture them. Press the Capture button when the needle points to the corresponding zone to complete the check for that area. Once all areas have been successfully checked, the creature is considered successfully subdued.

---

You may encounter various containers while in the water, which will only open some time after you approach them.
You have a chance of finding high-value items with every container type. The more containers you find, the higher the chance that you surface with a veritable haul...

---

You may also find usable consumable items in these containers.
You may carry up to one consumable item at any one time, which cannot be brought out with you when you surface.

---

An area with murky green water. Wait here for a certain amount of time to surface and end the operation.
Certain rendezvous points will only work after the corresponding mechanisms have been activated.

---

In the event that your operation fails, you may still choose to bring out certain items with you by placing them in the Safety Capsule.
You can expand the space available in the Safety Capsule through "Marvelous Abilities."

---

Over time, the water will become increasingly polluted. When the water is in early-stage pollution, you will encounter more powerful opponents, and your character will continuously take damage and lose Durability. Then, as more time passes and the even more dangerous late-stage pollution takes hold, your character will take even more damage continuously. Head to a rendezvous point to surface as soon as possible if you find that you can no longer continue with the operation.

---

You may encounter special Xenochromatic Fontemer Aberrants in the water. Attack these creatures to obtain their abilities for a short time. Do note that while these creatures are more powerful, you will only be able to use their abilities a certain number of times.

---

You start with a certain combat ability in every water body.
Once you have completed the key designated tasks, you'll be able to select the combat abilities you wish to use before entering the water.

---

Use this to restore a certain amount of Durability.
Use the Enhanced Healing Potion to restore Durability to the max.

Combat Abilities

Releases sharp and slender Fontemer Water Blades.Hold down on the button to aim and release. Use this ability to cut down any sea grass you encounter at their weak points.

---

Generates an armored shield capable of withstanding attacks, as well as a shockwave that can shatter stone.
Hold down on the Skill button to expand the shield, and release to unleash the shockwave in the targeted direction. If you're attacked during this time, an even more powerful energy projectile will be unleashed.

---

Releases a strange water jet.Hold down on the button to aim and release continuously.

---

Launches a hat bomb with high explosive power.
Hold down on the button to aim and set up the Bing-Bang Hat Bomb, which is even more powerful and has a bigger AoE. Once setup is complete, press again to detonate the Bing-Bang Hat Bomb.

---

Unleashes the Blubberbeast Sonar, which can attack the opponent as well as probe for certain targets.Hold down on the button to continuously unleash these waves while aiming.

Other Tips

Certain dangerous creatures are protected by wards. To take down these wards, you must first deal large amounts of damage to them using enhanced Fontemer Water Blades or Hat Bombs.

---

After taking multiple attacks, a random Treasure Inventory slot will become damaged and cannot be used to hold items.

---

Each time you successfully surface, you will receive a random Lucky Bonus the next time you choose your dive area. Examples of Lucky Bonuses include: an earnings boost on the current dive, a rare-item drop-rate boost, and even the unlocking of a mysterious location in the area with the potential for massive earnings!

• There are two possible starting locations in each Water Zone, one of which is randomly selected for each operation in that zone. In all zones except Zone IV, the Rendezvous Point closest to the player's starting location will be moved to the opposite side of the map.

Pollution Phase

The pollution phase begins 7 minutes after the player enters the Water Zone, or immediately if the player has completed the Management Commission XVIII. "Battle Line, Bubbled" and chooses to enter the Pollution Phase directly.

A 30-second warning is given before each stage of pollution starts.

Early-Stage Pollution

• Lasts for 5 minutes.
• The following message will appear: "During the Pollution Phase, you will take continuous damage, reducing Durability, and dangerous enemies will appear"
• Clockwork meka-type Dangerous Creatures will appear.
• All other creatures have a chance to become their Rampaging variants.
  • Nemeses and the enemies in the Water Zone II Special Challenge will always become their Rampaging variants.‍^{[ver­i­fi­ca­tion need­ed]}
  • If a creature is in combat or has previously been aggravated when the Pollution Phase starts, they will not transform into their Rampaging variant.‍^{[ver­i­fi­ca­tion need­ed]}
• Base damage without upgrades to Contamination Resistance: 0.5 Durability every 5 seconds

Late-Stage Pollution

• The following message will appear: "Pollution has intensified, causing damage to occur more frequently"
• Meka-type creatures have a chance to become their Rampaging variants.
  • If a meka-type creature is in combat or has previously been aggravated when the Pollution Phase starts, they will not transform into their Rampaging variant.‍^{[ver­i­fi­ca­tion need­ed]}
• Base damage without upgrades to Contamination Resistance: 1 Durability every 5 seconds

Combat Abilities

• After submitting the Management Commission in which a Water Zone's boss (the non-Rampaging version) must be defeated and retrieved, players can select any of their combat abilities to be their default ability in that Water Zone.
  • The corresponding Management Commissions are as follows:
    • Zone I: V. "The Gunsmiths' Departure"
    • Zone II: IX. "The Lord of Scrapland's End"
    • Zone III: XII. "Thus Falls the Faux-Holy Sword"
    • Zone IV: XV. "Grease Removal"
    • Zone V: XVIII. "Battle Line, Bubbled"
  • All combat abilities will be at their respective levels in Marvelous Abilities.
• In addition to the selected combat ability for each Water Zone, various Xenochromatic Creatures can be found while diving. These can be attacked to temporarily gain their ability.
  • Xenochromatic Creatures will disappear for the current dive after they are attacked.
  • Only one temporary ability can be held at a time. Obtaining a new ability will replace the current one.
  • Temporary abilities have no time limit but a limited number of skill uses (amount differs by ability). Temporary abilities will be lost when all skill uses are exhausted. Auto-casts do not count as skill uses.
  • Players can switch between a temporary ability and their default ability if the temporary ability has not yet been used up.
  • Temporary abilities will always be one level higher than the player's current level for the corresponding ability, up to Lv. 7, one more than the maximum level for standard combat abilities.
  • A temporary ability of the same type as the default ability can be obtained. It will be one level higher.

Durability

• Amount: 4 + level of Ironhide
• Durability can be restored by consuming Healing Potions.
• Invincibility for ~3 seconds after receiving damage from a Dangerous Creatures that was not nullified through use of the Armored Shield Marvelous Ability.
• After receiving damage from Dangerous Creatures and temporarily becoming invincible 8 times, a random backpack slot is lost for the current dive, regardless of how much Durability was healed or how much Durability was lost per hit.
  • If a Collectible or Dangerous Creature was present in that slot, it will fall out.

Taking Damage

• Damage taken from Dangerous Creatures depends on the grade (green, blue, purple, or gold) and status (normal or Rampaging) of the creature.‍^{[Verify values below]}
• Certain powerful creatures (purple-grade, Rampaging, and Nemeses) are initially considered extra dangerous and will deal more damage. They are indicated by a red or yellow icon.
  • After Condition missing, a red "extra dangerous" rating will be demoted to yellow.‍^{[Different for different creatures? For different Zones? And is it based on your total Marvelous Ability level count?]}
  • After Condition missing, a yellow "extra dangerous" rating will be cleared.‍^{[Different for different creatures? For different Zones? And is it based on your total Marvelous Ability level count?]}

Dangerous Creature		Durability Loss by Danger Level
Grade	Status	Default	Yellow	Red
Green	Normal	0.5	1	1.5
	Rampaging	1	?	3
Blue	Normal	0.5	1	1.5

• Continuous damage taken during the Pollution Phase: See Pollution Phase
• Damage from underwater cannons: 1 Durability per hit
  • Cannons are present in Zone II and during the Special Challenge in Zone III.

Consumables

Healing Potions can consumed to recover Durability. There is a chance to obtain one when searching a container, and only one can be carried at a time. If a Healing Potion is used while at maximum Durability, it will still be consumed.

Consumable		Availability	Effect
	Healing Potion	Any container in all Water Zones	Restores 2 to 4.5 Durability, based on Condition missing‍[Ironhide level only, or total Marvelous Ability level?]
	Enhanced Healing Potion	Special Challenge Chests (ornate clamshell chests) in all Water Zones	Restores Durability to maximum

Special Bait

Searching containers in Water Zones III–V will yield Special Bait, with the amount varying by Water Zone and container type. Containers in Water Zones I–II will only drop Special Bait if the "Searching containers yields extra Special Bait" Lucky Bonus is active in those zones.

If the Special Bait Lucky Bonus is active in Water Zones III–V, containers in these zones will drop extra Special Bait in addition to the typical amounts. If this Lucky Bonus is active in Water Zones I–II, containers will only drop the "extra" amount.

Furthermore, Special Bait:

• Can be obtained before unlocking "Kaleido-Catch."
• Does not factor into an operation's total earnings.
• Does not take up Treasure Inventory or Safety Capsule slots, and will always be retrieved in full if the player fails the operation and is forced to use a Safety Capsule.

Add any missing Lucky Bonuses

Unlocked after completing the Management Commission "VI. Business Benchmark III"

After a successful operation in any Water Zone, each Water Zone will have a random Lucky Bonus applied to it for all subsequent dives until the next successful operation. Lucky Bonuses will not change after failed operations, nor are their effects revoked for the results of a failed operation, so a Lucky Bonus can be taken advantage of by repeatedly failing dives, such as by exiting dives early.

Prismatic Variants

All Dangerous Creatures have a chance to appear as their Prismatic variants instead every time the player enters a Water Zone. Prismatic variants are indicated by sparkles, and if successfully captured, they provide more Funds and change their corresponding Archive entry into one with a shining animation.

Operation Failed

A dive can be failed by either abandoning the dive prematurely or losing all Durability. In both cases, if there are items in the Treasure Inventory, the player will be prompted to move as many as they can and want to into the Safety Capsule, which will allow them to bring those items back normally despite the failed dive.

Commissions can still be completed with failed dives, as long as their objectives are completed.

Operation Failed Messages

One of the following messages will appear if the player fails the challenge by losing all of their Durability.

If the player's backpack is not empty, the following message is also displayed:

If you fail, you will only be able to bring back some of your items...
