You may choose to play without missions, and we recommend doing so for your first game so you can become familiar with the basics of the gameplay.

Your aim is to complete all of the missions before endgame. For each incomplete mission you have when you start the endgame, you must add to the boss’s entourage.

Missions are completed by satisfying the conditions on the card. You must complete mission cards one at a time, in order from left to right. Once you complete the leftmost mission, flip it face down and start the next. The conditions of a mission can only be met while it is your current mission. For example, a mission requiring you to defeat a certain number of enemies does not count enemies defeated before it became the current mission.

Several missions require tracking the number of times something has occurred. Use the counter side of the chip to track your progress in these missions.

You may forfeit a mission at any time, setting it aside in order to move on to the next mission. However, in endgame, all forfeited missions count as incomplete and add to the boss’s entourage.
