The dungeon crawl known as Sonreeva (and the Newcropolis) is now fully open. Make your way through the mausoleum (located in u8083347) and discover all the secrets and mysteries! This year, the cost to enter is 15,000 soul shards, but there is no additional cost for the reward at the end. You can enter as much as you’d like, even after completing the entire dungeon crawl. This year there is some storytelling via ambient messaging, NPCs, and a cast of old characters returning for the finale. You will know when you get to the final room.

There are a total of 10 secrets that you can discover, which will show up in your EVENT STATS EBON. There are also some easter eggs that will indicate as such, but don’t count for anything. The easter eggs are a bit more weird in some cases, but call backs to random interactions over the years or inspired by other games.

Death is likely in Sonreeva, there are some damage-inducing traps if you get a few of the puzzles wrong. There are also waves of enemies. You can never spawn more than 3 creatures over time, but they will chase you. Groups can spawn a lot of enemies, so be prepared. Grouping is the easiest way to collect motifs, which work like keys throughout the dungeon crawl.

If you get stuck in the first puzzle, you can type HELP. There are exits that you can also take to leave Sonreeva at certain checkpoints. There is only one spot that once you proceed, you have to make it to the end. There is more than boss this year. If a boss is spawned, it won’t let you proceed into someone else’s battle. You would need to be grouped before they summon the boss. This is just so you don’t walk into a buzzsaw.

As of right now, I don’t have a catch-up mechanic in place for the reward, but I am working on something. I am also working on something where you can switch the type of bonus it gives. Both catch-up mechanics and switching the bonus type will have a soul shard cost. This will get announced next week for the final week of EG.
