What are Secret Dungeons?
Secret Dungeons are an additional feature where a map is required to access the entrance. Players can enter the Secret Dungeons as a Party for a chance to receive valuable items and treasures. The Secret Dungeons contain one weak boss that needs to be defeated to obtain rewards. The level of the items and treasures depend on the level of the map, which can be viewed by hovering the mouse over it in the inventory (Item Lv. X). It is recommended to use a map that is close to or higher than the player’s level. If the map level is too low, players should consider replacing it (see below).
Opening the map in the inventory will display a mini-map. The name of the area on the map is shown in the upper left corner of the screen. The map displays a section of the area where players need to find the location of the Secret Dungeon entrance.
- The map window can be left open to compare with the world map.
- Players should keep the window open when approaching the designated area to track their progress.
- To enter the dungeon, players need to press the interaction button (G) when standing at the indicated location.
- Treasure Maps cannot be sold, only exchanged for other maps.
Where to acquire Treasure Maps?
Players can obtain Treasure Maps by completing side quests in Rethremis. They can also be obtained as rewards for main or side quests, or dropped by bosses (like Rudric) and defeated enemies.
How to trade Treasure Maps?
If players are not interested in a particular map due to its location or level, they can exchange it at Maria’s in Luterra Castle (West Luterra).
Maria can be found inside the Termia Library on the left side of town. She will exchange players’ maps for another one for a fee. The chance of trading the map for a better one is random.
Only maps acquired through purchase for Rift Pieces can’t be exchanged – continue reading to learn more.
View Maps
Occasionally, you may come across sea maps (Secret Maps on a yellow background) that lead to viewpoints on the ocean. Look for a yellow telescope-like object at the specified location to permanently add it to your map.
These viewpoints are known as Sea Bounties and are secret locations that you can find by accumulating the right amount of points. Check out the Collectibles tab (Alt L) to see the rewards.
Purchasing Maps
Most major cities have a Rift Piece Exchanger who sells chests containing random Secret Maps. To obtain them, you must spend Rift Pieces earned from participating in Chaos Gate events listed on the calendar. Each chest contains maps at different “levels.” Ignore those with lower equipment levels than your current one and store them for later exchange. At the Map Exchange, trade in a few of your worst maps for one that fits your current level better.
