■Dungeon exploration with a 3-person party! You will be able to challenge dungeons with a 3-player party. Feel free to team up with other players or with your friends. Work together with your party members to get the treasure, and aim to get back alive at the escape portal in the dungeon! ■Fight monsters and search for treasures! In the dungeon, there are various treasure chests as well as monsters roaming around guarding the treasures. Defeat monsters to gain experience and raise your level. Special monsters also appear as time passes! You can gain a large amount of experience and keys to open special doors and treasure chests. ■You may encounter other parties in the dungeon At the start of the search, five parties, including your own, are scattered throughout the dungeon. Therefore, as the search progresses, you may encounter other parties. If you defeat a player from another party, you can obtain the treasure that the other party has obtained. However, other parties are as powerful as your party. You will be faced with a choice: fight or flee. ■Be aware of time limits and shrinking circles that reduce the scope of action! There is a time limit for dungeon exploration. In addition, the circular safety zone shrinks at regular intervals. If you go out of the circle, you will be severely damaged, so you must always stay within the safe zone. If you are greedy, you may fail in your search because you cannot reach the time limit or the shrinking circle in time, so be careful not to make a mistake in timing your exit to the escape portal! ■ Strengthen your equipment with treasures obtained from exploration Treasures obtained in the dungeon will be appraised upon your return and turned into equipment, materials, and money. Equipment can be brought into the dungeon, so strengthen your equipment for the next exploration!
