Dungeon

Master Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE's dungeons! Learn to use maps, enemy symbols, sword attacks, savage enemies, obstacles, healing, and warp portals to survive.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the dungeons of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, huh? Don't worry, they can seem a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of the tools available, you'll be navigating them like a pro. Let's break down how to make your dungeon crawling experience much smoother.

Using the Map

First off, knowing where you are is key. On the Wii U version, you could tap the map in the bottom right of the GamePad. For the Encore version, you've got a minimap that pops up in the bottom-left corner of your screen as you move around. This shows you your immediate surroundings. If you want to see the bigger picture, just press the + button to open the topic screen, then use L or R to select the map. This full-size map shows you everywhere you've explored so far. Seriously, keeping an eye on both the minimap and the full map will seriously boost your survival chances in any tricky dungeon.

Enemy Symbols and Sword Attacks

You'll see these symbols floating around – they represent enemy mirages. If you touch one, BAM, battle time! But here's a neat trick: you can actually use your sword attack (press X) on these symbols before you touch them. Doing this will knock the enemy down, and if you manage to touch the downed symbol, you'll get to take the first turn in the battle. It's a huge advantage, so always try to land that sword attack when you can!

Savage Enemies

Now, watch out for special enemy symbols. These black ones are called 'savage enemies.' Your regular sword attack won't work on them, and honestly, they're pretty tough. You'll run into them occasionally, and they're best avoided if possible. If you do get caught, your best bet is to try and escape or use a special performance to deal with them. Don't underestimate these guys!

Obstacles and Sword Attacks

Sometimes, you'll run into walls blocking your path in a dungeon. See that glowing core in the center? You can actually destroy these walls by hitting that core with your sword attack. Just remember, you can only destroy them from the side where the core is visible. Some walls might need a special method to break, but for most, a good sword strike will clear the way.

Healing HP and EP

Dungeons can drain your HP (health) and EP (energy for skills). You can heal up using items, skills, or by visiting facilities back in the city, like the cafe or vending machines. If a dungeon is really kicking your butt and you're feeling worn down, don't be afraid to cut your losses and head back to the city to recover. Pushing yourself too hard can lead to a game over!

Warp Portals

Keep an eye out for these devices called warp portals within dungeons. Activating one lets you teleport to other activated warp portals. They're super useful for getting around quickly and can be a lifesaver when you need to backtrack or reach a different section of the dungeon. Just a heads-up, you can't use them to travel between different dungeons. Always activate them when you see them – they're your best friends in navigating these mazes!
