Age of Safekeeping

Elliot's home era is where your journey begins. The kingdom of Huther is a peaceful land surrounded by walls β€” but beast tribes roam the wilderness beyond. This age teaches you the fundamentals:

  • First dungeon: Huther Catacombs β€” intro to puzzles and combat
  • First boss: Calamity Beast β€” teaches dodge and counter-attack
  • Collectibles: 12 Shards of Life, 8 cats, 7 manuscripts
  • Key story moment: Meeting Princess Heuria and learning about the curse
  • Age of Reconstruction

    After the great calamity, humanity struggles to survive. The Overgrown Ruins are the signature dungeon β€” nature has reclaimed a once-great city, and resources are scarce.

  • Dungeon: Overgrown Ruins β€” puzzle-heavy with vine mechanics
  • Boss: Ruin Golem β€” weak to Rod + Holy Magicite
  • Collectibles: 15 Shards of Life, 7 cats, 6 manuscripts
  • Key story moment: Discovering the truth about the calamity
  • Age of Magic

    The golden age of human prosperity. Magic flows freely, civilization thrives, and the Arcane Labyrinth awaits. This age has the most powerful enemies and the richest lore.

  • Dungeon: Arcane Labyrinth β€” enchanted maze with mind-bending puzzles
  • Boss: Beast King β€” use Spear + Thunder Magicite for best results
  • Collectibles: 13 Shards of Life, 9 cats, 7 manuscripts
  • Key story moment: Learning the origin of fairy magic
  • Age of Budding

    The birth of civilization itself. Primordial landscapes, ancient creatures, and the origin of the millennium curse. This is the most challenging age and home to the Ancient Dragon.

  • Dungeon: Primordial Cave β€” weekly reset, legendary rewards
  • Boss: Ancient Dragon β€” Bow + Ice Magicite recommended
  • Collectibles: 10 Shards of Life, 6 cats, 5 manuscripts
  • Key story moment: Confronting the origin of the curse
