The Labyrinth is a challenge game mode in Whiteout Survival, accessed through the Command Center. It unlocks when the Furnace reaches Level 19 (with Command Center Level 1), from the Monday of the fourth server week.
How it works
The Labyrinth is an underground world shrouded in a mist that shifts over time, so the available exploration zones change from day to day. There are six zones that rotate through the week, and challenges are fought using Expedition stats. Players have 5 challenge attempts per zone each day, refreshing at 00:00 UTC.
The six zones
The zones open on fixed days, and each one counts a different source of stats — so the preparation that wins in one is worthless in another.
- Land of Heroes — Monday and Tuesday; draws on Heroes, Hero Gear and exclusive hero gear; open from the start.
- Cave of Monsters — Wednesday and Thursday; draws on Pets and their skills; opens with Pets, around day 54 of the state.
- Charm Mine — Wednesday and Thursday; draws on Chief Charms; needs Furnace 25 and Chief Charms.
- Research Center — Friday and Saturday; draws on Research Center and War Academy technology; open from the start.
- Gear Forge — Friday and Saturday; draws on Chief Gear; needs Furnace 22 and Chief Gear.
- Gaia Heart — Sunday; draws on every stat source at once; open from the start.
Gaia Heart is the exception in two ways: it is the only zone where you bring your own troops, without casualties and without touching your deployment in the wilderness, and it is the only one where castle positions, alliance technology, territory bonuses, gem buffs and facilities do not apply. The other five hand you level 10 troops of their own.
Rewards
Clearing a stage for the first time grants First Win Rewards; later completions grant Raid Rewards. After clearing stages 1-10 of a zone, a raid feature unlocks that lets players quickly re-clear previously beaten stages when the zone reopens. Glowstone is the Labyrinth's currency, and Labyrinth Cores -- earned from clearing Exploration stages -- count toward one-time milestone rewards.
Weekly reset
Every Monday, when the mist returns, stage progress is reset; cleared stages can then be re-challenged for Raid Rewards. The weekly reset does not affect a player's position on the Labyrinth Leaderboard.
The Labyrinth Treasure
The Labyrinth Treasure holds one reward out of five, and it is a lottery in the true sense: 68.7% of the time it is a single 5-minute general speedup, and 20% of the time ten Gems. Above those sit 10% for five stacks of 10 Enhancement XP Components, 1% for the Luminari Citadel decoration and 0.3% for a Mythic General Hero Shard.
The Splendid Labyrinth Treasure is the same lottery with the odds moved: the five-minute speedup falls to 56.7%, Gems come by fifty rather than ten and Enhancement XP Components by the hundred, both at 20%, the Luminari Citadel triples to 3% — and the Mythic General Hero Shard keeps its 0.3%, but pays ten instead of one.
