Secrets of the Tomb (DLC)

Visit the land of deserts and begin a fantastical adventure.
Unlock the secrets of long-lost legends and pen a wondrous romance in a distant land.

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

Event Phases[edit | edit source]

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

Rubis Museum Artifact Tasks[edit | edit source]

As players gain exploration ranks through the Tomb of Ita, artifacts will be unlocked and placed in the Rubis Museum. Each artifact has a small investigation story associated with it, and completion of a category of artifacts awards S-Chip x30.

Tomb of Ita: Exploration Gameplay[edit | edit source]

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 x500
Phase 2	INT-IV	Astral Memory x1200
Phase 3	ADV-V	Astral Memory x2400
Phase 4	ADV-V	Astral Memory x3600

Maps[edit | edit source]

Please note: The gold, backpacks, and luck cells marked on these maps are possible spawn points. The game will randomly select one bag and 2-5 gold per floor, and 0-1 luck cell per excavation, most of which may possibly be hidden under debris.

Floor 1

Floor 2

Floor 3

Floor 4

Floor 5

Floor 6

Floor 7

Floor 8

Floor 9

Floor 10

Exploration Tools[edit | edit source]

Each floor contains one backpack item, which may be hidden by debris; find and open backpacks to obtain randomized Exploration Tools as below.

Shows hidden objects

Mottled Treasure Map: Shows the location of all gold nuggets on the current floor.
Metal Detector: Shows the exact location(s) of buried gold nuggets nearby.
Aerovane: Shows the exact location of a buried entrance to the next floor when nearby.
Lost Total Station Data: Shows the location of all hidden elements on the current floor.

Clear extra debris

Extended Probing Mechanical Shovel: Each time you excavate debris, clear debris 1 cell behind the target.
Excavating Minibot: Each time you excavate debris, clear debris to the left and right of target.

Luck Cells[edit | edit source]

Each excavation run will have zero to one "Event" square a.k.a. Luck Cell spawn; these bestow effects on the character as follows. Cells that bestow buff/debuff effects have their effects in place for the remainder of the run. Cells that do not bestow buff/debuff effects still cause the additional effect of e.g. the Mental Shift talent to take effect after triggering them.

Apophis's Destruction: Clears all debris on the current map.
Isis' Bastion: For this expedition, excavation will cost 3 energy regardless of type of debris cleared.
Nunn's Abyss: Lose 50% of current energy to enter a hidden map in which excavation costs no energy.
Osiris' Judgment: Excavations will either grant double Exploration Points (60% chance) or cost double Energy (40% chance).
Ptah's Craftsmanship: While energy is above 20, 15% chance for excavation to consume no Energy.
