Dungeons

Each sector? hides an underground grid. Fighting through it and beating its boss unlocks the next sector of the island.

HOW A RUN WORKS

  • There are 11 grid dungeons, one per sector. Clearing a boss opens the next sector.
  • A dungeon instance lasts 2 hours.
  • Fog of war is active — you reveal cells as you move (visibility radius 3).
  • HP persists between rooms. You may flee at any time; dying ejects you from the dungeon.
  • Each dungeon has a boss behind a locked door. A key item (the Access Card, 50% spawn) opens it.

ROOM TYPES

Grids contain: entrance, walls, floors, doors, combat rooms, loot rooms, lore rooms, nests, obstacles, key-item rooms and the boss room.

  • Loot rooms give consumables and materials (first-aid kits, narcotic, Atmos Alloy…).
  • Nests drop creature materials and eggs.
  • Lore rooms hold collectible lore entries.

Each boss is behind a locked door opened with the Access Card key item (50% spawn). Bear in mind a dungeon's sector is the region you enter it from; the boss listed is the one that unlocks the next sector in the chain.
