Dungeon Specifications
Availability of the Dungeon
| Can Challenge | Cannot Challenge |
|---|---|
|
|
If the entrance to the Dungeon is darkened and a UI appears when approached, it means you can challenge it. If the entrance is not darkened and you can see inside, it means you cannot challenge it.
Disappears After Some Time
Dungeons disappear after a certain time. While their locations remain constant, they only have specific time windows for players to enter. You won’t be able to access them for a while after they disappear.
Dungeon Respawn Time
Respawn Time is Random
Dungeons respawn after another dungeon has been completed. If you want to re-explore a specific dungeon, finish other dungeons first until it respawns.
Respawn Time can be adjusted
The time until the Dungeon disappears changes based on the Day Time and Night Time Speed. By extending the day and night time, the respawn time will be extended. If you want to have more time before the Dungeon disappears, it is advisable to extend the day and night progression.
Day Time and Night Time can be adjusted in the World Settings
The Day Time and Night Time can be changed by selecting World Settings from the title screen to the world selection screen. Extending the day and night time will make the days longer, so revert to the original setting once you have achieved your goal.

How to Escape Dungeons
Defeat Alpha Pal
You can complete a dungeon by defeating its designated Alpha Pal. The Alpha Pal is a larger version of a regular Pal, similar to Field Bosses in the open world. Defeating or capturing the Alpha Pal unlocks a warp point you can use to escape.
| Boss Spawn Locations |
Death
If you die inside the dungeon, you can always respawn and try again. Based on your Death Penalty settings, you might also drop items upon death. If you didn’t set any of these penalties, it is recommended to die and respawn if you want to escape the dungeon without losing items.
Dropped items are found at the entrance
If you have set a Death Penalty, you don't have to worry. Dropped items will be found in front of the entrance.

Exit from the Entrance
You can also exit the dungeon by going back to the entrance. If you can't find the Alpha Pal or if you just came to gather resources, just trace back your steps and exit through the entrance.
Rewards for Exploring Dungeons
Capture Alpha Pals
There is always at least one Alpha Pal in each dungeon. The level of these Pals will scale with the player's level upon entering. So, make sure to check you and your friends’ levels, if you’re bringing some, before entering the dungeon.
Reroll Dungeon Bosses by Going Back Two Areas before the Boss Room
| Before Change | After Change |
|---|---|
|
|
If the current Alpha Pal is not your desired Alpha Pal, you can despawn the boss by going back two areas before the boss room.
| How to Capture Pals |
Abundant with Useful Resources
Dungeons are rich in resources such as Ores and Sulfur. If there are dungeons near your base or unlocked fast travel points, it is best to keep farming them whenever they’re available.
Get Treasure Chests
By clearing dungeons, you can also get treasure chests. These chests contain valuable items such as gems and accessories. Gems can be sold to merchants for a high price and some gear you’ll find cannot be obtained through crafting. Actively farm dungeons when you can.
