Features of Mystery Dungeons
As the name suggests, “mystery dungeons” are mysterious places that change layout every time you enter them. Once entered, you may not exit a dungeon until you reach its final end or you are defeated and expelled. That’s why you should be fully prepared with items before going on a dungeon exploration. If you are defeated, you will lose all your money and some of your items. You will also be
sent back to the guild or to a save point. The stairways inStair dungeons are all
the previous floor. Also, if you spend too much time on the
same floor, you are automatically expelled from the dungeon as if you were defeated.
Communication Play Modes
Using communication modes, you can have even more fun with the game by involving your friends. You can get friends to rescue your team if you are defeated in a dungeon. Or you can go out on rescues yourself. This section covers the communication play modes in detail.
