A dungeon's map is gradually revealed as you make your way through its winding corridors. Waypoints are not displayed in dungeons, so it's crucial to keep track of where you've been and what ground you have yet to cover.

Dungeons function as mazes, their corridors shifting each time you start a quest. While exploring each corridor will allow you to obtain items from chests, this can also be quite risky. Deciding whether to prioritize exploration or reach the next Safe Area is paramount while in a dungeon.

However, you cannot teleport in safe areas—you can only head back to town.

Monsters of a higher caliber than common mobs. Even a single elite enemy poses a significant threat. Turn and run from one and it will chase you down relentlessly.

Elite enemies are represented on the mini-map with the icon shown above. When an Elite becomes aware of your presence, an alert effect will display across the screen to signal that you've been discovered.

A cursor will appear above enemies when you are locked onto them. It also displays the danger the target represents to you—the more the cursor shines, the larger the difference between the enemy's ATK and your DEF.

Enemy levels scale with yours—up to a certain point. To raise this limit, you'll need to increase your Cardinal Rank.

Certain quests—ones that raise your Cardinal Rank or offer valuable rewards—feature enemies that don't scale to your level. If you find yourself outmatched, return to town to allocate your Growth Points or enhance your weapons.
