Introduction

Lost in the Dark was introduced to the plot on August 7, 2025. It is a maze style mini-game that functions much like how Faerie Caverns does.

How It Works

On August 18, 2025, the mechanics of Lost in the Dark were updated to their current form. To begin the game, navigate to the Games tab from the Plot Headquarters and select Lost in the Dark. Instead of seeing Baelia, Luxinia, and their Doglefox companion, you are now greeted with the image shown below.

With the removal of Baelia, Luxinia, and the Doglefox guide, the rest of the game now plays out the same,but without hints, meaning you must guess each path entirely on your own. This makes finding the exit much more challenging compared to Chapter 8. The avatar, game prizes, and the Lucky Guess achievement can still be earned. The game may be played once per day.

Previous Gameplay

After Chapter 8 of the plot concluded, the original mechanics of this puzzle were changed with the release of Chapter 9 on August 18, 2025. The Red Doglefox and the hints it provided were removed, and this style of gameplay is no longer available. We have kept the details below for reference.

In Chapter 8, Baelia and Luxinia had followed the Red Doglefox into the cavern and needed help finding their way out. Players could choose a path—left, straight, or right—to lead them through the cave.

Selecting the wrong path would reset the puzzle back to the start, but players were able to try again as many times as needed. Completing the cave without finding the treasure still rewarded plot points, a prize, and the avatar.

This puzzle could be overwhelming, but the Red Doglefox originally served as a guide. Its ears pointed in the correct direction to help players progress.

When players chose the correct path, they could encounter a hidden treasure. Continuing on the correct path afterward completed the cave, awarding plot points, an additional prize, a fearless deed, and an avatar.

Rewards

When Lost in the Dark was first released, players could earn 10 plot points (20 if using the Plot Points Fortune Cookie) for playing. With the launch of Chapter 9, this feature was removed, and plot points can no longer be earned through the game. Players are still able to receive between 239–999 Neopoints along with an item prize. Below is the list of possible rewards.

Current Prizes

Retired Prizes

Before Chapter 9, there was a different set of treasure chest rewards available during gameplay. These prizes have since been retired and are no longer obtainable.

Fearless Deed & Avatar

By successfully completing a cavern after finding the treasure chest in Lost In The Dark, you will receive the Lucky Guess! fearless deed. To learn more about this achievement, check out our guide.

The Follow the Light avatar is obtained by successfully completing at least one cavern. Make sure to check off your new avatar here.
