Map System

The Labyrinth is divided into multiple floors, each with a unique layout. The map displays your current position, revealed rooms, and points of interest. Key elements include:

• Rooms: Each floor contains several rooms. Some are safe (rest, shop), others contain enemies or puzzles.
• Paths: Connecting corridors between rooms. Some paths may be blocked or require keys.
• Minimap: Shows a small overview; you can zoom to see details.
• Fog of War: Unexplored areas are hidden. Exploring reveals them permanently for that run.

Navigation Tips

• Prioritize revealing the map early to spot treasure rooms and avoid dead ends.
• Use rest rooms to heal your team before boss encounters.
• Shop rooms allow you to spend Labyrinth-exclusive currency on temporary buffs or items.

Item System

Items in Enigma of the Labyrinth are divided into categories:

• Key Items: Required to unlock doors or progress to the next floor. Always pick these up.
• Consumables: Single-use items that heal, buff, or debuff enemies. Use strategically.
• Currency: Labyrinth Coins (name not confirmed) earned from defeating enemies and opening chests. Spent in shops.
• Relics: Permanent upgrades that persist across runs (unlockable via progression).

Item Management

• Inventory space is limited. Discard low-value consumables to make room for key items.
• Save healing items for boss floors.
• Currency carries over between runs, so hoard it for expensive relics.

Tips for Efficient Runs

• Plan your route: Check the map before moving. Aim to clear all rooms on a floor before proceeding.
• Prioritize keys: If you see a locked door, find the key first to avoid backtracking.
• Use consumables: Don’t hoard them excessively; they are meant to be used.
• Learn enemy patterns: Each floor has a set enemy pool. Adapt your team accordingly.
