Minaga's Endless Labyrinth

You have entered Minaga's Endless Labyrinth. An endless maze that extends forever until you can no longer keep going lies before you, ready for you to explore, the entire labyrinth split into Labyrinth sections to conquer one by one.

These Labyrinth Sections will each serve as separate challenges, and passing each will trigger a checkpoint. Some checkpoints will allow you to rest and recover for a while before continuing on your journey.

Each Labyrinth Section has a time limit that will begin upon entering a section. Your goal is to navigate your way through each section as quickly and safely as possible while overcoming foes, traps, and other challenges along the way. The further you progress in the Endless Labyrinth, the more challenging it shall become.

During the Endless Labyrinth, the magnanimous Minaga has taken pity and granted you five attempts in case you should fail any Labyrinth Sections, allow you to retry them should you run out of time or meet an unfortunate- yet expected- early end. The Labyrinth Section's layout will not change even after an attempt has been expended, but all traps, creatures, and other such challenges will be reset.

Minaga wishes you luck. For if you wish to challenge his Endless Labyrinth, you will sorely need it.

Objective: Complete as many Labyrinth Sections as possible.^[1]

• The participant has five attempts to clear each section within the allotted time.
• If the participant dies or runs out of time, they will be returned to the most recent checkpoint to try again minus one attempt.
• When the participant runs out of the allotted attempts, they will be ejected from the Challenge Dungeon and their run is over.
• Floor difficulty scales infinitely until the participant is unable to continue.

At the beginning of each floor, participants are presented with hints to solve the labyrinth. Each level includes puzzles, riddles, traps, red herrings, and foes to be fought.

• During his dungeon run, Jake makes his attempt at fighting a B-grade. His attempt is unsuccessful.^[4]
• Minaga's Labyrinth includes a mist that nerfs certain skills such as divination and seeking.^[5] However, it does not work against non-system based skills making it useless against Jake's Sphere of Perception.
• Minaga claims that part of the reason he talks so much during this dungeon is to help people cope with the years of isolation they experience in this dungeon versus the more interactive dungeons. He claims that statistically since he began acting as a companion, significantly fewer quit simply due to pure loneliness.^[6]
