Guardians

As a Dungeon Guardian, your role is to protect the dungeon and its precious energy crystals from intruding explorers. You have two paths to victory:

• Outlast the explorers until the mission timer runs out, sending them back to their world empty-handed.
• Eliminate all explorers before they can escape with the crystals.

Use your abilities strategically to control the dungeon:

• Trap Placement – Lay cunning traps in unexpected places to slow down, injure, or isolate the explorers. A well-placed trap can change the course of the hunt.
• Manifestation – Take on a terrifying physical form for a limited time. Use this opportunity to actively hunt, corner, and destroy those who dare to steal from you.

Guardians are the embodiment of the dungeon’s wrath. Patience, planning, and precision are your greatest weapons.

Explorers

As an Explorer, your mission is simple—but far from easy: infiltrate the dungeon, locate powerful energy crystals, and escape before time runs out… or before something finds you.

You’ll need to rely on teamwork, caution, and quick thinking to survive. The dungeon is filled with hidden dangers and an ever-watchful Guardian determined to stop you.

Your tools for survival include:

• Team Coordination – Work closely with two other explorers. Split up to cover ground quickly, or stick together to outmaneuver traps and survive sudden encounters.
• Trap Awareness – Stay alert. The Guardian can place traps in unpredictable locations. Sharp eyes and steady nerves will keep you alive.
• Stealth and Speed – Make smart choices: sneak past threats or sprint to safety. Managing noise and movement is often the difference between life and death.
• Crystal Extraction – Locate and secure energy crystals, then find your way to an extraction point. Time is limited, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it gets.

Only the most resourceful explorers will make it out with their lives—and the crystals.
