Lost Void/Explorer's Badge

Last updated 2025-09-24

Explorer’s Badge is a game system in Lost Void.

Overview

[Introduction]
• A symbol that exemplifies the spirit of exploration. Rather than the glory that lies at the end of the road, it's the conviction to study and make sense of the world around you that's important.
• Clearing a stage while meeting the various [Investigation Strategy] requirements will award you with their respective Explorer's Badge. The Explorer Badge level for each Investigation Strategy is independent of others.

[Unlocking and Leveling Up Explorer's Badge]
• Explorer's Badge is unlocked when obtaining any Tier 3 [General Gear] in Lost Void Battlefront Purge: Difficulty V and above;
• Explorer's Badge has levels, carrying different Tier 3 [General Gear] and clearing the above stages will level up the Explorer's Badge;
• When selecting General Gear at [Exploration Start], your current Explorer's Badge level and acquisition status will be recorded.

Explorer’s Badges can be unlocked by clearing Battlefront Purge: Difficulty V or VI with any General Gear at Tier 3 or higher. Explorer’s Badge levels are independent to each Gear and Investigation Strategy the badge was unlocked with.

Investigation Strategy

Investigation Strategies are set buffs and/or effects that will occur under specific circumstances. One Investigation Strategy must be selected for each run of Lost Void. When selecting an Investigation Strategy, the total number of Explorer’s Badges unlocked for that strategy is displayed in the top right. There are 12 Investigation Strategies in total.

"In the Hollow, 'don't chase a desperate foe' is neither courteous nor advantageous; on the contrary, it saves quite a bit of re-aiming time."
Icon Resonium Passion Strategy Resonium Passion Strategy Coin combat areas have a 40% chance to grant 1 Resonium. Entering Friendly Talk areas also grants 1 General Resonium.
"Make sure to use the Resonia. They come from the Hollows, and, naturally, are the best weapons for fighting back against the Hollows."
Icon Treasure Hunter Strategy Treasure Hunter Strategy There is a 10% chance of obtaining 1 Card in combat areas. Obtain 1 Card when entering a Rest and Recuperation area.
"Is the purpose that drives this operation just an investigation, or is it the promise of a great bounty...? Are these two things mutually exclusive?"

Icon Recovery Strategy Recovery Strategy Rest and Recuperation areas grant 1 additional selection, with a 25% chance to obtain Gear.
"Ample supplies can make rest between battles much more efficient. But whatever you do, don't drift off for too long."
Icon Looting Strategy Looting Strategy When entering an "Encounter" or "Price Difference" area, recover 10% HP and obtain 500 Gear Coins.
"Cast aside the dignity of legitimacy... The ruthless mindset of a Hollow Raider will always net you a more plentiful bounty. Isn't that right?"
