At a Glance
- Mode: Enigma of the Labyrinth (permanent, added in Version 3.1)

Infrastructure: Crafting Explained
The infrastructure system in Enigma of the Labyrinth allows you to craft items that aid exploration and combat. You'll need to gather resources from the labyrinth itself, then use the crafting station to produce consumables, keys, or temporary buffs.
Key points:
– Crafting recipes are unlocked as you progress through the mode.
– Resources are finite per run, so plan your crafts carefully.
– Some crafted items persist across runs, while others are single-use.
Commissions: Repeatable Tasks for Rewards
Commissions are daily or weekly tasks that refresh on a set schedule. Completing them grants currency and materials used for crafting or upgrading your labyrinth loadout.
Commission types (based on official preview):
– Exploration: Map a certain number of tiles or reach specific nodes.
– Combat: Defeat a set number of enemies or clear a floor without taking damage.
– Crafting: Produce a specific item at the infrastructure station.
Reset times: Not stated in official materials. Check in-game for exact timers.
Step-by-Step: Getting Started
- Unlock the mode by progressing through the main story (exact chapter not stated in official materials).
- Enter the labyrinth from the main menu or HDD system.
- Complete the tutorial run to learn basic movement and combat.
- Access the infrastructure station after the tutorial to view available recipes.
- Gather resources by exploring tiles and defeating enemies.
- Craft essential items first — focus on healing consumables and keys to unlock shortcuts.
- Check the commissions board for daily tasks and prioritize those with high reward-to-effort ratios.
Loadouts & Teams
While Enigma of the Labyrinth has its own progression, your standard agent roster matters. Bring a balanced team:
- F2P/Budget: Use your strongest DPS (e.g., Billy, Corin) with a support (e.g., Soukaku) and a stunner (e.g., Anby).
- Optimal: A hypercarry like Ellen Joe or Zhu Yuan with dedicated supports and a stunner for maximum damage output.
Reasoning: The labyrinth features varied enemy types, so having a stunner to break shields and a support for healing or buffs increases survivability.
Materials Table
| Material | Source | Cadence |
|---|---|---|
| Labyrinth Shard | Exploration nodes, enemy drops | Per run |
| Ancient Cog | Commission rewards | Daily |
| Resonant Crystal | Crafting (requires Shards) | As needed |
Note: Exact drop rates and daily limits are not stated in official materials.
Troubleshooting
- Stuck on a floor? Check your map for unopened chests or hidden paths — some require keys crafted at the infrastructure station.
- Low on health? Craft healing items before engaging tough enemies. You can also retreat to a safe room to recover.
- Commission not appearing? Ensure you've completed the tutorial run and have progressed far enough in the mode.
