FAQ
These are the spots where necromancers get stuck most often, answered briefly. Follow the link in each answer for the full explanation.
Combat
Section titled “Combat”My Command doesn’t refill.
Section titled “My Command doesn’t refill.”That’s intended. Command doesn’t refill on its own — not over time, not from kills. When a minion falls, its summon cost comes back; beyond that, the Altar of the Legion, Command options on gear, runewords and level-up cards, and some Sanctum relics from Siege restore it. Your maximum grows with gear, level-up cards, Relics, the Necropolis of Dominion and Legion Resonance. Think of Command as “how big a legion you can field at once”. Commanding the Legion
The elite slot won’t respond.
Section titled “The elite slot won’t respond.”Elite minions need an elite or boss corpse as their vessel, plus ordinary corpses offered alongside it. If one is nearby you must use it: a tap picks it for you, while dragging to anywhere else fails. With none nearby, they’re summoned through a substitute rite that offers several ordinary corpses instead, so make sure there are enough corpses around you. Commanding the Legion
The Eclipse gauge is full — did I fail?
Section titled “The Eclipse gauge is full — did I fail?”No. A full Eclipse makes enemies frenzied, but it isn’t a failure. You fail when the time limit runs out or you fall, so push on to the end of the floor without delay. Floors, Combo & Grades
Auto-Hunt is on, but it won’t move to the next floor.
Section titled “Auto-Hunt is on, but it won’t move to the next floor.”Auto-Hunt only handles combat. Auto-Advance in the Battle Menu picks level-up cards and Dark Pacts for you and moves on to the next floor. It starts on, so if you switched it off, turn it back on. Now and then it returns to the village on purpose: when the story needs you there, or to show you Reincarnation or a newly opened Siege. With Auto-Advance on, a failed floor is retried once; fail it again and Auto-Hunt switches itself off. Auto-Hunt
Labyrinth progress
Section titled “Labyrinth progress”Do I lose items when I die?
Section titled “Do I lose items when I die?”No. Gear that drops during a run is recorded the moment it drops and arrives in your inventory when you return to the village. Gold and essence arrive immediately. You just don’t get the clear rewards if you fail. Gear & Loot
Why can’t I enter floor 3?
Section titled “Why can’t I enter floor 3?”Before floor 3 you need to enhance one minion, then equip a piece of the gear you brought back and level it up once. Enhance a minion at the Altar of the Damned in the village, then equip and level up your loot from the inventory. Beginner’s Guide
I opened the cage, but my ally isn’t in the village.
Section titled “I opened the cage, but my ally isn’t in the village.”Even after the cage opens, a rescue only counts once you clear that floor to the end. If you fall before finishing it, the rescue is void — try again. Beginner’s Guide
I can’t get an A or higher clear grade.
Section titled “I can’t get an A or higher clear grade.”Grades are built around your combo, and without a combo, B is the best grade you can get. Keep killing without pause to hold the combo, don’t let corpses rot, and take less damage. Floors, Combo & Grades
I’m running short on Essence of Conquest.
Section titled “I’m running short on Essence of Conquest.”Essence of Conquest only comes from beating your best clear grade on a floor. Re-clear floors you beat at a low grade, this time at a higher grade. Necropolis of Dominion
Growth
Section titled “Growth”Where do I get a specific minion’s fragments?
Section titled “Where do I get a specific minion’s fragments?”Skeleton enemies in the labyrinth are the same species as your skeleton minions, and killing a species drops that species’ fragments. Minions with no matching enemy, such as zombies, get their fragments from other kills. Each species’ fragments drop only at certain depths. On the stage selection screen, tap the Spoils bar and open the Summons tab, or check Monster Intel to see which enemies drop which fragments. You can raise one species’ share with Change Farming Focus or convert spare fragments with Soul Refinement. Siege also pays fragments for the minions that performed best. Growing Your Minions · Siege
I picked the wrong awakening path.
Section titled “I picked the wrong awakening path.”Use Reset Awakening to undo it, then awaken down the other path. Level and ★ are kept, but resetting costs gold and fragments, and the materials you spent on the original awakening aren’t refunded. Growing Your Minions
When should I reincarnate?
Section titled “When should I reincarnate?”Don’t rush. Reincarnation is an option that opens after you’ve fallen once, and your first one also needs a little progress into the labyrinth. Legacy Power only grows from a life that climbed far enough past your waypoint, and the Gate of Reincarnation shows how many more floors you need. Build up your strength until you feel truly stuck, then reincarnate. Reincarnation
What do I lose when I reincarnate?
Section titled “What do I lose when I reincarnate?”Your level and level-up cards (except those sealed with the Seal of Memory) and your labyrinth progress reset. Gold, gear, minion levels, Relics, the Dark Covenant, the Necropolis of Dominion, the Book of the Dead and your best grade on each floor are kept. Reincarnation
I bought a Dark Covenant node, but it does nothing.
Section titled “I bought a Dark Covenant node, but it does nothing.”A node only works while it’s Attuned. New nodes attune automatically if you have enough spare Corruption Capacity; if not, they stay Dormant and do nothing. Set a less important node to Dormant and attune the new one yourself. Capacity grows slowly as you reincarnate, and clearing the Trial of Encroachment widens it further. Relics & the Dark Covenant
Rewards from floors I’ve already beaten dropped.
Section titled “Rewards from floors I’ve already beaten dropped.”Floors you’ve already beaten always pay less than a first clear, and after a few repeats of the same floor in one day they pay even less for the rest of that day. After your first reincarnation the Harvest Vessel also turns on: each floor clear uses one charge, and charges refill over time. When the vessel is empty, repeat clears drop straight to their lowest pay, but first clears always pay in full. Reincarnation
How do I get sockets, and how do I make runewords?
Section titled “How do I get sockets, and how do I make runewords?”Sockets come from drops, Transmute and Hargas the Smith’s Carve. A runeword forms when you place the right three runes in gear with exactly 3 sockets; the order usually matters. Check recipes in the Runeword Grimoire. Runes & Runewords
Reforge made my option worse. Can I undo it?
Section titled “Reforge made my option worse. Can I undo it?”No. Reforge results always apply, even when they’re worse. In exchange, each reforge that doesn’t raise the line’s quality builds Heat on that item, which helps its next reforge. Leave your good option lines alone. The Smithy
What happens to new gear when my bag is full?
Section titled “What happens to new gear when my bag is full?”A new item replaces your weakest one only if it’s clearly better; everything else is automatically broken down into gold and essence. Break gear you don’t use to make room; a piece that matches one of the wanted entries in Jeff’s Ledger can also be handed in there. Gear & Loot
Modes and rewards
Section titled “Modes and rewards”When does Siege open?
Section titled “When does Siege open?”Complete your first reincarnation, finish the guided steps after it (empowering a Relic and investing in the Dark Covenant), then play one more labyrinth run. Once it opens, a Siege gate is revealed and marked in the village. Siege
The Tomb Bell isn’t filling.
Section titled “The Tomb Bell isn’t filling.”The Tomb Bell only gathers while the game is closed or in the background. Time with the game open doesn’t count, and nothing more piles up once it hits its limit. Ore only comes in when a golem (core) is in the mine. Doran’s Mine & Golems
I have no golem. Where’s the Forge of the Colossus?
Section titled “I have no golem. Where’s the Forge of the Colossus?”After rescuing Doran the Miner on floor 12, open the Forge of the Colossus from the Doran’s Mine window in the village. Forge your first core (free) there and your golem appears, and the mine starts yielding ore. Doran’s Mine & Golems
My Book of the Dead bonus isn’t applying.
Section titled “My Book of the Dead bonus isn’t applying.”Collection Bonuses only apply once claimed. Tap Claim All in the Codex (Book of the Dead) and the bonuses take effect from your next battle. Dailies, Weeklies & the Codex
A day passed before I claimed my Daily Rites.
Section titled “A day passed before I claimed my Daily Rites.”Daily Rites reset every day at 00:00 UTC, and unclaimed rewards disappear. If your login streak broke after missing exactly one day, you can Mend it with gems on the day you return, but only a few times per month. Dailies, Weeklies & the Codex
Settings and account
Section titled “Settings and account”How do I change the language?
Section titled “How do I change the language?”Open the Menu on the village screen and pick a language from the Language list. On first launch, the game uses your device language if it’s supported. Dailies, Weeklies & the Codex
I switched devices. How do I get my progress back?
Section titled “I switched devices. How do I get my progress back?”Your progress is saved to the cloud automatically. Tap Account Recovery in the Menu: the Google Play version loads your cloud record if it’s further along, and other store versions open a screen where you sign in with your ID and password. If your device and cloud records differ, the Choose Save Data window appears — the record you don’t pick is overwritten, so choose carefully. Dailies, Weeklies & the Codex
