Overview

Skim-before-session glossary for rotating affixes and safe choke doors. This hybrid mock mirrors Guide Studio wording for roadmap plus trophy blocks so previews stay truthful when authoring ships publicly.

Roadmap

Stages in order — use this as session bookmarks.

Stage 1~14 min

Scout night

Freeze the carousel screenshot, annotate choke tags, lantern-safe doors.

Prep

  • Mute proximity pings — replace with numbered role macros.
  • Screenshot affix text — UI copy drifts nightly in mock catalogue.

Warnings

  • Lantern RNG can soft-lock eastern ramp if affix forbids dousing.

Stage 2~28 min

Squad ladders

Chip boss routes with role swaps; crest carriers hold adds while runners reset lanterns.

Prep

  • Alternate crest routes counter affix polarity swings mid-fight.
  • Reserve one flask row exclusively for coop crest cleanses.

Warnings

  • Voice delay >120ms strains lantern sync windows — reschedule if jitter spikes.

Stage 3~10 min

Clean-up crests

Optional hunts plus coop-exclusive crest badges queued after ladders stabilize.

Prep

  • Carry throwable crest bait for duos — melee-only routes exist but cost time.
  • Bench before crest gauntlets to avoid soft-fail elevators.

Warnings

  • Skipping optional hunts here voids coop-only badges — reconcile list before ascend flag.

Achievement solutions

Directions first — skim titles, settle into the paragraphs that match your choke point.

Crest synchrony (mock)

Scout nightHardcoreSide contentExploration

Unlock condition Two crest hunts in one lantern cycle — no resets.

In-game “Clear two crest hunts without resetting affix lanterns.”

Missable Weekly affix polarity flips midway — scouting snapshot from stage 1 is mandatory.

Tip Player B babysits lanterns; Player A handles add resets only after crest scripts finish.

How to unlock

How to unlock / What to do — Split crest paths with deterministic aggro swaps: Lantern holder never crosses mid platform. Alternate weekly flavors change acceptable doors — re-read glossary capture before transitioning biomes.

Weekly lantern purge (mock)

Clean-up crestsFocusedTime / trialCollectible

Unlock condition Douse every flagged lantern inside the weekly purification window.

In-game “Complete the rotating lantern purification route before weekly reset expires (mock).”

Warning Bench before gauntlets or elevator scripts may soft-lock dusk tiles.

How to unlock

How to unlock / What to do — Sweep crest cleanup stage in ascending lantern IDs; skip only if glossary marks them optional. Duo route requires simultaneous douses — use three-count voice macro.

Tips & warnings

Tips

  • Screenshot the affix carousel at session start and pin it beside comms overlay.
  • Mute ping spam — replace with numbered role binds so callouts survive chaos.
