— SECRET KEY DUNGEONS
This new system directly expands the Hardcore Raids you’ve been tackling.
To access these new dungeons, you’ll need special keys, which are rare rewards from the final chest of Hardcore Raids.
How do the keys work?
Secret Key Dungeons are a twist on the classic Time-Spaces, featuring a discovery-based mechanic:
Double-click the key to activate it. You’ll receive a message telling you which map the hidden dungeon is located in.
Once on the correct map, use the key again:
- ❓Blue question mark above your character: You’re not near the portal.
- 🔻Red arrow above your character: You’re close; the arrow points toward the portal.
Use the key again when you're in the correct spot, and the portal will appear.
Read the portal description before entering. It includes the dungeon’s name and a short explanation of its mechanics.
Do not idle too long in the waiting room. If you delay, the dungeon will close, and all players inside will be ejected.
Important:
The key is consumed upon entering the first active map, not the waiting room.
Only enter if you're confident you can complete the challenge.
Maximum party size: 3
Each key opens a randomly generated dungeon. You won’t know what challenge awaits until the portal is discovered.

ROOM TYPES AND OBJECTIVES
Each dungeon consists of random room types, regardless of key color. Examples include:
- Eliminate all monsters
- Eliminate all elite enemies
- Defeat the boss
- Locate and eliminate a specific enemy within a time limit
- Defend an NPC or altar
- Escort an NPC from one point to another
- Survive waves for a fixed amount of time
- Prevent enemies from reaching a destination
- More room types will be added in future updates.
REWARDS
Rewards scale with dungeon difficulty and duration. Harder dungeons yield better results, including:
- Gold Titan Bars
- Valyrian Coins
- Reputation
- Hardcore Pet Token (individual drop, drop rate increases with difficulty)
- [PvE] Top Wings Random Chest with very low probability (only in Red or Black Dungeons)
Not all keys offer the same base rewards. The harder and longer the dungeon, the better the gold and Valyrian payout.
RECOMMENDED GEAR
Secret Key Dungeons are balanced for players using [Extreme] gear, including optimized partners and pets.
Worried about your gear?
Don’t be — an upcoming content update will introduce new gameplay systems and rewards aimed at non-extreme equipment. Stay tuned. That’s it for now.
This system brings tactical depth, high risk, and excellent rewards for players who dare to push their limits. It emphasizes team synergy, preparation, and execution like never before.
