The Secrets of the Tomb DLC is a permanently-available version of the limited event of the same name.

Event Phases

The event is available in four phases which gradually open more content as time passes. While the player is in earlier event phases, later main story, side story, and tomb exploration rank are locked. The timer for phase unlocks begins when the player first enters the DLC and progresses at 04:00 (UTC+9) after a certain number of days since that moment. These phases are timed as follows:

  • Phase 1: When player enters DLC
  • Phase 2: 3 days after DLC start
  • Phase 3: 5 days after DLC start
  • Phase 4: 7 days after DLC start

Tomb of Ita: Exploration Gameplay

When the player taps the "Tomb of Ita" on the event screen, an exploration game will begin, requiring the player's chosen male lead to navigate through four floors of the ruins, excavating for gold nuggets and archaeological tools. These maps are pseudo-random, pulling from a limited number of base maps per floor with randomly generated debris; however, the exits on each map are in fixed positions, though they may be covered by debris to reveal them.

Note that Energy does not regenerate over time; a player is meant to excavate until out of energy, exit and try again. This can be done as often as the player desires without limits, though the phased gameplay of the event will prevent further progression after certain milestones are reached.

As with much of the event schedule, exploration into the Tomb of Ita is carried out in timegated phases as follows:

Phase Exploration Rank limit Currency from exploration limit
Phase 1 BAS-III Astral Memory icon.pngAstral Memory x500
Phase 2 INT-IV Astral Memory icon.pngAstral Memory x1200
Phase 3 ADV-V Astral Memory icon.pngAstral Memory x2400
