Quests

Episode 1

  • "LSB": Quest icon.pngLost SOUL BLADE, a quest that is particularly effective for farming both Sinow Beats and Sinow Golds. Players often quit out of the quest after the last room of Mine 1 to repeat the area, without continuing to Mine 2.
  • "TTF": Quest icon.pngTowards the Future, a quest that is the fastest method for repeatedly fighting Dark Falz, as well as being an effective method of leveling characters.

Episode 2

Episode 4

  • "MAE4": Quest icon.pngMaximum Attack E: Episode 4
  • "NMU3": Quest icon.pngNew Mop-Up Operation 3, a quest that is particularly effective both for leveling characters and hunting Heaven Striker (or other Desert drops). It is notable for being a timed quest that includes heated rooms that will continuously damage players, which can make it difficult to complete if the party composition is poor or players are unfamiliar.
  • "PoD": Quest icon.pngPoint of Disaster, a quest that quickly leads the party to a fight with Shambertin, making it particularly effective for repeated chances at encountering Kondrieu.

  • "RT": "Retrap," for an android player indicating they are about to die intentionally for the purpose of being revived by a Tool icon.pngScape Doll, which will restore their Traps. It is said in advance of the death as revival by the Scape Doll can be interrupted by the usage of a Tool icon.pngMoon Atomizer or the Reverser.pngReverser technique, which will disrupt the process and not restore the player's traps.
  • "Twins": Mylla & Youlla.pngMylla & Youlla
