Though they are Yi's relics, they do not obey him. They have their own pasts, their own passions and desires—joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. Like people, yet ultimately not human. If you venture into the depths of the Garden of Grotesqueries, be very careful when you encounter them. If you're unlucky, you'll have to move to suppress them; if you're lucky, they might even bring you some small amusement.
New Elite Operator: Raidian, who is not only available outside of Garden of Grotesqueries, but also the first Special Operator whose level and promotion are tied to the player's progress on certain Garden of Grotesqueries missions.
Changes:
The initial Operators are now automatically assigned into the squad, eliminating the need to assign them. This is also retroactively applied to previous Integrated Strategies themes.
Guided Tour is initially available, while Guided Tour 1 and above are unlocked by completing a run in the preceding level (e.g. Guided Tour 11 will be unlocked once the player completed a Guided Tour 10 run).
Enemy buff increases the HP and ATK of enemies by the specified percentage on each floor (starting on 1F and increases on subsequent floors), using the following formula: (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 does not increase the buff.
Vast and immensurable, eternally unitary, colossal is its form, Sui is its name.

Yunwa Pavilion
Clouds hover above, tiles lie below. The path ahead is fraught with trials, twisted and steep, hard to walk or love.

Lies the fallen where danger is. It has always been so.
Ruwu Gate
So vast are the heavens and the earth, so precipitous are the mountains and the cliffs, and yet you and I transcend them.
游园惊梦
Alas, yet you cannot match me.
Jianzi Hall
While being titled the Hall of "Seen Words", no word can be found on the tablets and plaques. All things inside and outside the hall, thus can never be recorded.
游园惊梦
It is easy to climb up but hard to return down.
Shimo Mausoleum
Here is it begotten, yet here shall it find not its end.
游园惊梦
Sui lies here, and you shall be with It.
Mingmie Peak
The scroll has unfolded, the path has opened, the beginning and the end, life and death, reality and fantasy meets.
Quelling in the Jie Garden is held each year’s course, the duty of Sui Regulator passed through generations. This well-sharpened sword shall subdue the bestial Sui, as doth this Garden.
Condition
Choose "May the quelling be smooth..." in the Prophecy that appears as the semifinal node of 5F and simply clear the Dreadful Foe "Rite of Conquering Sui".
One is lostfrom the twelve, whose union eventually isn't complete. Though what was seen in the hall could not be preserved, it yet conveyed a message: she has not disappeared.
Condition
Complete a run with the "Ordained Quelling" ending and do the following steps in a single run:
In the Sui Remnant, enter the furthest Prophecy node and choose the "Pay Money" option, which gives up 30 to obtain the Collectible "Inkstick of Veiled Butterfly". This will cause Sui-Qu will appear in every subsequent operation.
Sui-Qu will only be vulnerable for a single opening in each operation, but its health will be retained between operations.
Reduce Sui-Qu's HP to 50%, after which it will disappear for the rest of the run and immediately add the Collectible "Ink-Formed Broken Stele" to the player's inventory. This will allow the player to choose the "I see this mystic ink" option in the semifinal 5F Prophecy, which will change the 5F Dreadful Foe into "Words of the Past Fade Like Smoke".
Holding the rite of quelling, questing into the Tomb of Sui, all things were done by men, and yet it is Wang who lured them, much as placing a piece of stone. When shall it be the end of his great game?
Condition
Complete a run with the "A Trace Left on the Long Scroll" ending and do the following steps in a single run:
Enter the "To Hold the Stones" event in a "杂疑" node within the Sui Remnant with 5 or more Candleholders, which will allow the player to choose the "Take the Board" option and gain the Collectible "Forsaken Masterpiece".
Note that the Collectible will decrease the initial SP of all operators by 50%.
Enter an Pathfinder node and choose the "The board against fire, the type case against light" option, then clear the ensuing special battle "Clarity", which will give the player the "Cloud and Ink" Collectible when cleared. This will cause the player to enter 6F after clearing 5F instead of ending the run.
Note that the Collectible will cause all operators to take constant damage for 60 seconds after deployment.
Clear the 6F Dreadful Foe, "Schemer for Sui".
Note that the 6F Dreadful Foe will only allow Candleholders to participate in the battle.
In the Sui Remnant, I saw a glimpse of the "Great Hunt" from the past, leaving a faint ink trace on the blank scroll. From this, thus It can transform into words, write books, establish knowledge, and become human.
Condition
Complete a run after Sui's Garden of Grotesqueries's Expansion I and do the following steps in a single run:
In the Sui Remnant, obtain Collectible "Unsealed Long Box", which can be found randomly and is commonly sold by the Ji for 5 Life Point.
Note that the Collectible will increase all Elite/Boss enemies' DEF by 30% and ASPD by 20.
Enter a Scout node and choose the "Draw the Box" option, choose one of your Operators to go into the scroll (only Operators who enter the scroll can join the final battle in Mingmie Peak) and it will give the player the "Blank Long Scroll" Collectible after the node has been cleared. This will cause the player to enter 7F after clearing 5F instead of ending the run.
Note that the Collectible will make the nodes and enemies in Jianzi Hall more difficult.
The Operators sent into the scroll cannot participate in the rest of the run.
Clear the 7F Dreadful Foe, "End the Hunt".
In 7F, There will be a Advising Maze node at the start and a Rogue Trade node near the final node.
There's also a Special Sui Remnant node in this floor that can be entered via "误入奇境(特)" node, this node will allow player to obtain 7 candles in the Special Sui Remnant map.
All "杂疑" nodes inside will only have "Just For Tomorrow" nodes, which allows player to sent an Operator into the scroll or obtain 1 Collectible.
Note that the "End the Hunt" final node will only allow Operators that players has sent into the scroll before to participate in the battle.
All the Operators that the players sent into the scroll after finishing the event "Protect the Great Hunt's Sky" in Destiny node will all be promoted.
Sui's Garden of Grotesqueries is the first Integrated Strategies theme whose release in the Global server is not rescheduled to make way for the yearly anniversary event.
The Chinese name of Sui's Garden of Grotesqueries is a word play of Liaozhai Zhiyi (聊斋志异; "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"), a Qing-era horror novel featuring ghosts and spirits.
Sui's Garden of Grotesqueries is inspired by Chinese millennial analog horror theme.
Sui's Garden of Grotesqueries is released in the middle of July on the CN server, which coincides with the seventh month of the Chinese calendar where the Chinese Ghost Festival, better known as the Zhongyuan Festival (中元节) or Yulanpen Festival (盂兰盆节) in Chinese, occurs on its fifteenth day.
It is worth noting that the Chinese seventh month usually occurs around August and September in the Gregorian calendar rather than on July. This is mainly because Integrated Strategies themes are usually released on July in CN. The Chinese Ghost Month is the time when everyone will avoid doing important stuffs as King Yama or Yanluo Wang will open the gates of hell for all souls to return to human realm to visit their old home and return to their relatives, befitting the theme of Garden of Grotesqueries.
The color scheme of Garden of Grotesqueries, gradient pink, white and green jade, is based on that of hell money. The tickets to enter the Garden (shown in the PV) is also based on hell money, albeit redesigned.
