How to Complete Stage 1 – The Ominous Demesne Challenge
At the start of each trial, players must select one of nine Shikifuda, which are charms that provide buffs to the player. Players will be able to select three of these for each trial, and they will have various effects such as character buffs, exploration buffs, and even Shikifuda buffs. One exploration buff clears the fog from the floor, allowing the player to see the layout more clearly, and another Shikifuda buff increases the duration of any Shikifuda charm-based barriers.
To complete the first stage of the Labyrinth Warriors: The Ominous Demesne Challenge, you must complete the following trial objectives:
- Activate the Arrayed Emplacement and complete the challenge.
- Activate the Ferocious Emplacement and complete the Serious challenge.
- Activate the Ferocious Emplacement and complete the Dire challenge.
- Activate the Decisive Emplacement and complete the challenge.
To start the event, players will need to locate the Mystic Onmyou Chamber on their maps. They will need to select their team once they have entered the domain. Players will be able to switch between two teams of four. The first team is the Combat Team, which will be the primary group used by players throughout the trials. The second group is the Support Team, which players can choose to join during the trial. Each team must have four distinct characters.
Each Domain Trial has two floors, each with several rooms. When the trial begins, players can use the event map to locate the room containing the “Decisive Emplacement.”
The Decisive Emplacement, which summons an enemy Leader, is the challenge that players must complete in order to progress to the next floor. Once all of the Decisive Emplacements have been completed, the trial will be considered finished. For every objective completed you get the following rewards:
By exploring the domain and completing challenges, you can obtain Damaged Replicas. These Replicas can then be used to improve different aspects of Shiki Taishou’s Charm Magic via the event page. The specifics of this Charm Magic have yet to be revealed, but it appears that there will be quite a few elements to improve.
In addition to the charm drawn from Charm Emplacements, players will be able to draw a charm after completing the Arrayed and Ferocious Emplacement and the Decisive Emplacement for the first floor. Three options will appear on the screen for players to select from. If there are no charms available, the player can redraw by consuming Battered Shikifuda, which can be obtained by completing the trial’s challenges.
Players, on the other hand, must exercise extreme caution. They may come across Cursed Seals while drawing a charm, which has a negative effect.
