Difficulty levels

• Braving Nature is initially available, while Braving Nature +1 and above are unlocked by completing a run in the preceding level (e.g. Braving Nature +11 will be unlocked once the player completed a Braving Nature +10 run).
• The specific handicaps of Braving Nature +3 and above are carried over to every succeeding levels, with those increasing enemy attributes stacked on top of each other.
• Buff increases the HP and ATK of enemies by the specified percentage on each floor (starting on the 1st floor and increases on subequent floors), using the following formula: a = (1 + b)c (a is the total buff; b is the buff percentage; c is the floor number).
  • The secret floor applies the buff at the floor when the player enters it, and do not increase the buff.
• Flair is the chance that a Foldartal comes with a Flair when obtained.
• Score is a modifier to the run's final score.

Floors

Unofficial English translations of the special floor's name and texts provided by PHOTON563.

1F		Brisk Marshlands From here you step into nature. Pure white snow falls onto the water, a chill breeze pushes your boat, and roaming around always makes one lose track of time. Trapped in White Walls The giant tree roots form a harsh suggestion that you have drifted too far off, and nature has not yet become your friend.
2F		Placid Forests The Hornbeasts in the thick forest lie down, inviting the visitors to rest together. The pitch-black shadows of the trees silently stain the snow, but the prey is completely unaware. Trapped in White Walls The lost expeditioner tumbles into the abyssal depths of the woods, their compass no longer able to point the way forward.
3F		Dawning Frostbounds The bitter cold pierces through your marrow, with the forest gradually thinning as the black tundra separates the sparse specks of light. The roadmap is already blank, and whose guidance can we trust? Trapped in White Walls The expeditioner was once walking in a blur, and now tumbles into the permafrost. Sami speaks of only one, yet also final, prophecy concerning you.
4F		Gelid Rockshelves The expeditioners' line of sight has been cut off by the darkness of the north. Resilient Sami lifts Its mountain range as the cold, stone-hearted warriors construct towering walls. Do you still wish to continue onward? Trapped in White Walls The courage to cross the boundary may be dismissed as foolhardy by ordinary people, but nature never says a word, no matter what it takes in.
5F		Immaculate Garden Across the mountains, life is silent. Since antiquity, the solid ice has sealed up countless lives, propagating flower-like crystals. Trapped in White Walls There is no need to hammer again with your staff of ice. You have already fallen deep inside, covered by the shadows along with the past, and the icefield will never end.
6F		Clairvoyant Carcass An inescapable fate has stood at the end of the icefield for a long time, and now, everyone can see it. Trapped in White Walls That vision to you, is still the future.
Special		Dusts of Eternity Time without beginning nor end has been measured by limited lives, and the footsteps of expeditioners kick up the dusts of eternity. Trapped in White Walls Even a grain of dust is still too heavy, you have never expected it, and you have never regretted it.
Secret		Secluded Passage A remote corner of the deep forest ushers in yet another batch of visitors. Nature never welcomes them, but never refuses them either. Trapped in White Walls And thus, as you fall into the soil, as you turn into nourishment, nature still chooses to stand by and watch.

Additional information

The 6th floor can only be entered by clearing the 5th floor while having the Boundless Gift. The special floor can only be entered from Expansion II by clearing the 5th or 6th floor while having the Dimensional Fluid. Entering the special floor will not cause the Collapse level to increase and clearing it does not count towards the final score but will count towards the enemy buff in higher Braving Nature levels. The special floor has the following layout: Rogue Trader > Prophecy: Reconstruction > (Emergency) Operation > Prophecy: One Small Step For the Explorer > Dreadful Foe The Dreadful Foe is normally The Sands of Time, but has a chance to be Into Eternity at Braving Nature +12 or higher instead.

Additional information
The drops awarded from operations in the secret floor is calculated as if the operation is on the floor it is entered. The 5th and 6th floor's Dreadful Foes only awards the EXP and Ingot when cleared if the player fulfills the condition to enter the 6th and/or special floor, as doing so otherwise will end the run instead. Since the special floor's Dreadful Foe ends the run when cleared, no EXP and Ingots are awarded from doing so.

Result

When an Expeditioner's Joklumarkar run ends, the ending will be played if the run is completed; if the run fails, the "Trapped in White Walls" message is shown instead.

Afterwards, the run's rollback (which can be skipped and viewed again from the result screen) will appear, showing the player's nickname and the Operators they have recruited throughout the run as the "explorers", and logs the player's actions throughout the run.
