Rare enemies are rolled again when starting a new lap in this quest.

Room Objectives

Each room of the quest has one of four objectives, chosen randomly for non-boss areas:

  • Avoid taking damage.
  • Avoid healing.
  • Avoid death.
  • Avoid losing meseta.

Time and points added per area is based on the number of penalties the party receives for the current objective.

Additionally, areas 5 and 15 each have a bonus objective on top of their typical objective, which is a task that awards additional points if completed successfully.

Boss rooms each have their own static objective, which are the following:

  • Dragon: Avoid taking damage.
  • De Rol Le: Avoid healing.
  • Vol Opt: Avoid losing meseta.
  • Dark Falz: Avoid death.

A lap ends after 20 total areas, or 21 if Falz is reached. (Additional Area)

Lap Completion

After completion of a lap, one rank of a quest-wide penalty is applied for the rest of the run. These are applied in the following order:

  • Reduced invincibility (blessing) chance. (Max: 5 ranks)
  • Room clear time decrease. (Max: 5 ranks)
  • Stricter penalties (Penalties reduce the room clear time award by additional amounts.) (Max: 4 ranks)
  • Extra time deduction per penalty (x additional seconds are deducted from the timer per penalty, x being the current lap number.) (Max: Infinite ranks)

Quest Board

The Quest Board (Item Pack -> Quest Board) has some optional uses in this quest, allowing the player to:

  • Check their current points.
  • Check the current room's objective.
  • Check the number of objective penalties for the current room.
  • Check the current lap number.

Invincibility Blessing

Each non-boss room has a 15% base chance (reduced by 3% per rank of the lap penalty) of granting invincibility to the party for a variable amount of time. The duration of this is based on how fast the previous room was cleared.

Additional Area

If the party manages to reach the end of a lap with a low amount of overall penalties (the exact limit is five times the number of party members; or three when solo), Dark Falz is given as an additional area. This area does not subtract from the timer, and gives a higher than usual amount of points for completion.

Coffee Side Quest

A side quest that awards additional points and meseta can be completed once per lap. A video with the necessary steps can be found here.
