October update: what to check now
Read the level and chapter selector in the updated game. October 9 resets chapter progress and adds permanent upgrades; September location-order notes are dated history, not a guaranteed post-reset unlock table.
October 9 reset chapter progress for everyone as meta-progression reached the main branch. Personal quota coins and permanent upgrades now carry across runs and crews; chapter position, unlocked cards and a reconnect are different kinds of progress.
September 25: earlier corrections
Solo: no quota threshold in the first four levels of Chapter 1.
The September 25 wording refers to the first four levels of Chapter 1, while September 10 described the first four chapters as one level each. The announcements do not reconcile those labels. Read the current chapter/level selector and quota display; this wiki does not invent a replacement chapter table.
Verified level milestones
Treat these as confirmed checkpoints, not a complete walkthrough of all fifteen levels.
| Level/context | Current evidence |
|---|---|
| Opening sequence | Mansion begins the revised location sequence. |
| Level 2 | First Ship appearance. |
| Level 4 | First Castle appearance. |
| Levels 3, 4 and 8 | Additional valid loot spawn positions added September 14. |
| Across 15 levels | 70 additional spawn points added September 18. |
Level, chapter and location day are different labels
A chapter is a selectable progress unit. A level is a playable step inside it. A location day is the wording used in several location-specific notes, including the Ship cart change. Do not assume “Ship day two” means overall level 2.
When reporting a bug, capture all labels visible in your lobby or run. This makes a lost cart or missing spawn report much more useful than only saying “second map”.
Enemy and boss context
September 10 replaced a general boss pool with level-specific selection and assigned enemy sets per level. The known creature roster does not prove that every named monster can appear on every level. Use the current preview and your observations together.
