Enigma of the Labyrinth

Overview

The Divine Maze, otherwise known as Papago Hollow, was first navigated by the Void Hunter Joyous during the era of Eridu's founding using a device known as the Labyrinth Carrot. With the help of Helios Academy and Flint Workshop, Omond Research Station was established, and with it began "Operation Bagel", a project aimed to explore and understand the Hollow.

The Research Station has entered a state of disrepair, and after finding their way in to while trying to find the Labyrinth Carrot, Phaethon must now work alongside H.A.N.D. and the HIA to restore the facility to its original state, find the Carrot, and discover the mysteries of both Papago Hollow and the Research Station itself.

Gameplay Objective

Players have 25 minutes to obtain as many valuable items from within Papago Hollow as possible, and then escape within a 25 minute time limit. They have access to specific gear that sets their Agents level and stats to a set level, access to unique items that confer specific buff, and various equipment to help them navigate the dangerous environment with ease.

Gameplay Rewards

Gear Coins are obtained directly through exploration and by selling items. These can then be exchanged at Boojee's Store for various rewards:

• Teasures Counter provides rewards for the player to use outside of Enigma of the Labyrinth, including Agent Focus: Pyrois, Twilight Afterimage, Dubi-Meow/Chipi-Meow, and Agent upgrade materials.
• Permanent Store allows the player to directly purchase items such as Etheric Phantoms, Key Cards, and health items for their agents to use during exploration, as well as resources needed for purchasing upgrades at the R&D Center or for direct creation of items in the Smart Workshop.
• Bluepring Direct Sale allows the player to purchase Blueprints, which can be used to craft items that can then be used in exploration.
• Season Limited allows the player to exchange Season Coins for limited availability rewards such as higher rank Blueprints or the Safe Expansion Plug-In.

Gameplay Modes

Enigma of the Labyrinth has two stages: Suburbs Illusion and Janus Illusion. Both have varying difficulty levels but utilize the same general gameplay. The final boss for a given stage is displayed in the menu before starting.

Easy Difficulty

Easy Difficulty is only accessible via the Suburbs Illusion. It has no Recommended Equipment Value, a recommended level of 5, and no extra mechanics. The player has multiple ways to leave the Hollow at any point.

Standard

Standard difficulty has a Recommended Equipment Value of 12,000 Gear Coins and a recommended level of 20. Acquiring enough valuable items will cause Ulidim to appear and pursue the player, though it can only be pushed back, not killed in this mode. The player has multiple ways to leave the Hollow at any point.

Hard

Hard difficulty has a Recommended Equipment Value of 72,100 Gear Coins and a recommended level of 40. The Cacophony Soundscape now appears, which blankets areas of the Hollow, causing corruption to build up on players which, when maxed, reduces their maximum health. The Cacophony will, at set times, expand and appear in new areas. At maximum corruption, Agent's health cannot exceed 1 point. Ulidim will appear as a phantom in the Cacophony Soundscape, and if not dispatched after noticing the Squad, will materialize as Ulidim proper.

Ulidim behaves the same as in Standard mode, but when there are 5 minutes remaining on the timer, Ulidim gains a new attack that will drag the Squad in to an arena. Ulidim can be fought and killed in this arena, and doing so will give the player the choice to evacuate the Hollow, or continue their exploration.

Escape Routes out of the Hollow will periodically close off with time. If the player takes too long to evacuate, their only means of escape will be fighting the final boss of the mode.

High-Risk

High-Risk difficulty has a Recommended Equipment Value of 258,000 Gear Coins and a recommended level of 60.

All prior mechanics are enhanced: the Cacophony expands faster, exits to the Hollow close faster, and Ulidim can be fought and killed at 8 minutes remaining rather than 5.

Before entering High-Risk difficulty, the player will be given the opportunity to invest with the Tycoon Investor. The player can invest Gear Coins at intervals of 500,000, up to a maximum of 3 Million, to increase the rewards and difficulty of the mode.

Seasons

Every version has a corresponding season, which gives the player access to Season Commissions. These are one-time commissions which grant the player both Season Coins and Season EXP, the former of which can be used to purchase rare items for use in Enigma of the Labyrinth. A player's Season Lv. can be upgraded to a maximum of Lv. 6, which unlocks the final set of Season Commissions for the given season.
