Excavation

Excavation is a game mode in which you explore other Fortresses. You can obtain Solari Heroes and other Hero related loot in the process of excavating the map and defeating the Zombies inside.

## Rules

1. Commanders can earn rich rewards through excavation in the instance.
2. Any unlocked map can be explored anytime.
3. You can challenge yourself in the same battle multiple times, but the final reward for clearing the stage can only be claimed once.
4. The progress is automatically saved unless the player quits or switches to a different map during exploration.

### Place in Ruins

In the first Fort, you control Fernando as he explores Fortress No. 659488. You can obtain three chests with loot and a Beesly hero shard in the level.

Tips

1. Try to collect all resources and rescue the heroes.
2. Try to excavate the Blocks to clear the way.
3. If the door is closed, try to find where the switch is.

### Lucky Number

In this fort, you control Natalie and try to rescue Lori. Pull down the switches to make sure the sum of the numbers equals the number on the door.

Tips

1. Try to collect all resources and rescue the hero.
2. The lucky number on the door is the key! Use the switch to complete the lucky number and the door will open!

#### Numbers:

Doors (top to bottom): 2, 13, 7

Levers (left to right): 8, 4, 2, 1

#### Solution:

Show/Hide solution

 To get the Lori shard (second door), pull down all levers but the third, numbers 8, 4, 1

### Power Surge

In the third level, Power Surge, Brady explores a different fort. Here you can obtain three chests and a Pamela shard.

Tips

1. The switch can work only after the deserted Work Station is fixed.
2. The switches here are used to open/close multiple doors. Explore as many places as you can.

### After The Rain

Emma explores the fourth fortress containing five chests and Lemuros.

Tips

1. Try to collect all resources and rescue the hero.
2. The answer seems to be "rainbow", which means we need to open the doors in the order of the colors of a rainbow? How can we do that?
3. If the order is not correct, try to figure out how to initialize it.
4. There is a reset lever to reset all doors to their initial status in case you get stuck.

#### Notes on the ground

1. An arch
2. Brief yet beautiful
3. After the rain
4. Not reachable
5. The notes might tell us the order to open the doors

#### Doors

From top to bottom:

1. July 12. Divination result: Purple
2. Sept 30. Divination result: Red
3. Feb 29. Divination result: Green
4. Nov 7. Divination result: Orange
5. It can be opened when all four switches (of the other doors) are switched on.

#### Solution

Show/Hide solution

 After opening the top doors, the door containing Lemuros opens up at the bottom automatically

### Teleportation Device

You control Fernando while escaping the fortress with many portals and rewards. You can obtain a Bacchus hero shard in this level.

Tips

1. Try to collect all resources, rescue the hero stuck here and leave the place.
2. The symbol on the switch of the portal seems to be a hint.

#### Portals

Each symbol on the portal directs you to a different location. A simple left arrow will transport you one chamber to the left. A left arrow with one stripe will transport you to the chamber two to your left. An arrow with two stripes transports you two chambers to the left. The Back icon will transport you back one chamber. Note that there are multiple ways to end up at certain rooms. When going back this might mean that you could end up in a different room than you came from.

#### Solution

Show/Hide solution

 Left 3, Up 3, Right 2 (orange chest), Down 3, Left 1, Up 2 (Bacchus), open the door, fight boss, Up 2 (red chest) and exit.

## Notes

* There might be more levels in development since a fifth Excavation stage icon is available saying: Coming soon!
