=Traps=

Watch your step, the dungeons are riddled with traps in order to protect it's valuable treasures. You will encounter 3 kinds of traps during your adventures, wall spikes, swinging axe traps and floor spike traps.
* Swinging Axe Traps does 25 HP True Damage
* Wall Spikes Traps does 20 HP True Damage
* Floor Spikes Traps does 20 HP True Damage

<p style="text-align:center;">'''Swinging Axe Traps'''</p></div>
<div style="display= inline-block;"> [[File:Wall_Spikes_Traps.png|link=|350px]]
<p style="text-align:center;">'''Wall Spikes Traps'''</p></div>
<div style="display= inline-block;"> [[File:Floor_Spikes_Traps.png|link=|350px]]
<p style="text-align:center;">'''Floor Spikes Traps'''</p></div>
</div>

As opposed to it's dormant spiky brethren, axe traps are always active. Take your time to navigate through axe traps, if you are not in a hurry, it's better to wait for the right moment to traverse instead of risking to take avoidable damage.

Wall spike traps are difficult to detect, as only a small hole is visible on the wall. Some of them are depicted on the mini-map, but you will take some unavoidable deaths while you learn the locations of the hidden ones. They are positioned at head level and spring into action when something get's too close. Simply crouch down to avoid them. Some sneaky wall spike traps are at knee height, however, these are only found in the maze.

Floor spikes are usually easy to spot, they can sometimes be hidden in dak areas, but generally it's easy to navigate around them. Alternatively, you can throw a torch onto them to activate the mechanism and wait for the moment the spikes go back down. There is a brief recharge time after the spikes have fully retracted before they can spring out again, use this downtime to walk over them for a short distance and leap away to safety before the spikes come out again.

Use these traps to your advantage to eliminate monsters or unsuspecting players.

=Portals=

{{Transclude|Portals#Down Portal}}

For Portal Spawn Times, see [[Portals#Portal_Spawn_Times|Portals]]

=Escaping=

Escaping is possible when a player activates an [[Escape Portal]]. The player then has the option to escape the map. These portals will appear at any level, decreasing in numbers as you dwell deeper. In [[Goblin Cave]], there is [[Cave Extract]] which allows 1 person to escape.

When a player escapes they will keep everything in their inventory and additionally they will get [[Rank#Adventure_Points|Adventure Points]] for their [[Rank]] depending on how many [[Monsters]] they have killed, items that were looted, players killed, and other factors. Also, you will keep 100% of the [[Experience]] that you have earned.

In case you die, you will only get rewarded 50% of the [[Experience]] you have earned and will lose all [[Rank#Adventure_Points|Adventure Points]] collected. Furthermore, you will lose all equipment including your tools and inventory. Currently there is no way to secure your loot.

=Death Swarm=

The dungeons below are protected by a powerful curse. The Death Swarm will try to consume your soul. Heed the mini-map and avoid its oppressive clutch.
The circle will slowly move closer towards the white circle indicated on the mini-map. If you are caught in the red zone you will slowly start taking 1 damage per second, each circle phase increases the damage. However, if you are in the last circle and cannot find a portal in time before the circle fully closes, then you will instantly die.

Check individual [[Dungeon#Dungeons|Dungeon]] page to see their death swarm timings.

=Monsters=
[[File:Skeleton Footman.png|right|x250px]]

There is a vast variety of [[Enemies|monsters]] you will encounter depending on the room you enter and map you get into.

The lower level the dungeon, the harder the monsters become and different types of monsters start to appear.

Monsters also have 3 different variants:
*Common
*Elite
*Nightmare

With each variety increase, the enemy gets stronger, tougher and faster, can use new moves.

Nightmare monsters have an extremely low spawn chance on normal difficulty dungeons.

=Treasures=

During your adventures you will come across a vast variety of treasures of varying sizes and value. These treasures can be sold to [[The Collector]] in exchange for gold coins. As of now, larger treasures take up a lot of inventory space, but have poor gold value per inventory slot. Try picking up single slot treasures if possible, since these occupy the least amount of inventory space and therefore have the highest gold value per inventory slot.

[[Pickaxe]]s can be used for [[mining]].

If you want to check out the individual values, you can check [[Treasures]].

You can get more loot information in [[Lootables]], [[Containers]], and [[Monsters]]. Make sure to check their individual pages for their loot tables.

You can also find where an item drops in their own pages. For example, check [[Golden Key#Drop_Table]] to see where it drops.

=Leaderboards=

High Roller Dungeons are the only way to obtain a spot on the leaderboard. The leaderboards have been changed to a single leaderboard system based on Adventure points. Earn adventure points by doing various actions in the dungeon, killing monsters and players alike and extracting with valuable treasure. Be careful however, because failing to extract will cause you to lose all the Adventure Points you accumulated during your run.

For more detailed information, check [[Ranks]].

=Karma=
[[File:karma.png|right|x300px]]
The Karma system, located at the bottom-right corner of the main screen, enables players to rate their teammates from past games. This feature serves as a trust indicator, helping players make informed decisions about whom to collaborate with in future games. Upvotes increase player's karma score by 1, downvotes decrease it by 1. Players can vote once every 5 portal usage.

Scores and Colors:
*20 Karma = <span style="color:deepskyblue">Blue </span>
*4 Karma = <span style="color:#A0DFF8">Light Blue </span>
*0 Karma = White
*-4 Karma = <span style="color:#ED9D9C">Light Red </span>
