# Dungeons - Introduction

### ⚔️ Dungeon Difficulties

Our dungeon system is designed to cater to **players of all skill levels**, with increasing challenges and rewards across the following difficulty tiers:

* **Normal**
* **Hard**
* **Expert**
* **Master**
* **Insane** (ranging from **I** to **X**)

Each difficulty tier offers unique monster compositions, mechanics, and rewards — allowing you to choose the challenge that suits your playstyle and party.

### 🧩 Requirements to Enter

Before you can enter a dungeon, make sure you meet all of its **specific requirements**, visible directly in the **Dungeon Panel**:

### 🔓 Unlocking Dungeons

Each dungeon must first be **unlocked by completing a small quest**:

* Open the **Dungeon Panel** via the Dragon Statue and select your desired dungeon.
* A **hint will appear** about the location of another hidden Dragon Statue.
* **Find and use** that hidden statue to unlock the dungeon permanently.

### 🎚️ Dungeon Requirements

To enter, you must fulfill:

* **Minimum level requirement**
* **Maximum party size**
* **Quest unlocked status**
* **Dungeon Keystones (see below)**

### 🗝️ Tiered Dungeon Keystones

Dungeon entry now requires **Tiered Dungeon Keystones**, which vary based on:

* **Dungeon Tier** (linked to the Dungeon Boss’s loot tier)
* **Selected Difficulty (amount)**

**Where to find them keystones:**

* **Tiered Keystones** are dropped by **Elite+ monsters** in the open world.
* **Insane Dungeon Keystones** (used only for **Insane VIII, IX, and X**) drop from **Insane monsters**.

**Entry Cost:**

* Higher difficulty levels require **more keystones** to join.
* For **Insane VIII–X**, you will need **1, 2, or 3 Insane Dungeon Keystones**, respectively.

👉 All requirements and costs are clearly displayed in the **in-game Dungeon Panel**.

### 🧠 Dungeons: Combat & Puzzles

Each dungeon contains:

* **Dangerous enemies** scaling with difficulty
* **Unique monster mechanics and team fights**
* **Puzzles and mystery rooms** requiring clever thinking, not just brute force

### 💎 Dungeon Rewards

Dungeons are the **primary source of Crystal Shards**, the essential material used in **Item Upgrading**. These rare shards can only be acquired from **Dungeon Bosses or completion chests**, especially at higher difficulty levels.

### 🚪 How to Enter

When you're ready:

1. Visit any city temple and **use the Dragon Statue**.
2. Select your dungeon and desired difficulty.
3. Check and meet all entry requirements.
4. Click **“Join”** to begin your run!
