24 or 23 extra points?

With “kill all bandits”, the regular campaign provides 24 additional passive points. Helping a bandit gives 23 plus that bandit’s bonus. These are quest points in addition to level-up points. Two refund points are not two new skill points. Use /passives in game to check the rewards actually received for each quest.

Plan Labyrinth trials

  • Normal: Act 1 Lower Prison; Act 2 Crypt and Chamber of Sins; Act 3 Crematorium, Catacombs and Imperial Gardens. Then enter the Labyrinth from the Sarn plaza.
  • Cruel: Act 6 Lower Prison, Act 7 Crypt and Chamber of Sins. Merciless: Act 8 Bath House, Act 9 Tunnel, Act 10 Ossuary. This describes unlocks, not a requirement to finish each immediately.
  • Eternal Labyrinth: check the Offering to the Goddess and current entry requirements at the entrance. Do not blindly follow old guides requiring six random map trials. Traps and Izaro need their own defensive preparation.
