Challenge Chance
The Challenge Chance event is the secret ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE system of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL, started on September 24th, 2014.
Unlock conditions are the same between Single Player and Double Player modes. RANDOM and EXPAND-JUDGE options cannot be used when fulfilling requirements.
The objective of Challenge Chance is to satisfy secret requirements in order to open a door, which appears in the result screen. Once the door is open, it's possible to play the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song once.
To begin the event, you have to first trigger the appearance of the door itself in one of either Space-Time Phase. The ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song depends on which Space-Time Phase you triggered the door.
- PRESENT Phase:
- ANOTHER difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least a AA rank grade together on chrono diver -fragment-'s ANOTHER chart without using RANDOM.
- ANOTHER difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least a AA rank grade together on illuminate's ANOTHER chart without using RANDOM.
- HYPER difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least a AA rank grade together on chrono diver -fragment-'s HYPER chart without using RANDOM.
- HYPER difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least a AA rank grade together on illuminate's HYPER chart without using RANDOM.
- NORMAL difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least an A rank grade together on chrono diver -fragment-'s NORMAL chart without using RANDOM.
- NORMAL difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least an A rank grade together on illuminate's NORMAL chart without using RANDOM.
- FUTURE Phase:
- ANOTHER difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least a AA rank grade together on CHRONO DIVER -NORNIR-'s ANOTHER chart without using RANDOM.
- ANOTHER difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least a AA rank grade together on subtractive's ANOTHER chart without using RANDOM.
- HYPER difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least a AA rank grade together on CHRONO DIVER -NORNIR-'s HYPER chart without using RANDOM.
- HYPER difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least a AA rank grade together on subtractive's HYPER chart without using RANDOM.
- NORMAL difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least an A rank grade together on CHRONO DIVER -NORNIR-'s NORMAL chart without using RANDOM.
- NORMAL difficulty: Obtain a Full Combo and at least an A rank grade together on subtractive's NORMAL chart without using RANDOM.
If done correctly, the door appears in the result screen.
NOTE: If you trigger the door on EXTRA STAGE, you have to fulfill the requirements in the successive play session mentioned below.
Afterwards, you have to fulfill hidden requirements in order to open the door. The door comes with three "challenge chance" coins; each coin disappears if you fail to satisfy the hidden requirement. Whether you succeed or not, the door will only appear again in the next Space-Time Phase.
This must be done on EXTRA STAGE, or on FINAL STAGE if you play on coin mode in Japan. Opening the door forces you to play the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song on the specific difficulty.
The hidden requirement to open the door is to obtain a FULL COMBO and a specific rank grade on nine different songs with charts having also a specific rating level per difficulty. In details:
- If you're playing on ANOTHER difficulty, other than the FULL COMBO you have to obtain a AAA rank on charts rated at least level 9 (difficulty rating might be lower).
- If you're playing on HYPER difficulty, other than the FULL COMBO you have to obtain at least a AA rank on charts rated at least level 7.
- If you're playing on NORMAL difficulty, other than the FULL COMBO you have to obtain at least a AA rank on charts rated at least level 6.
NOTE: As of December 22nd, 2014, it has been confirmed that two different songs are enough to open the door.
The aforementioned requirement must be fulfilled when the door is bound to appear, which is the first play session after the Space-Time Phase switch. The chart of the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song depends on which difficulty you're playing on.
If the requirement is satisfied, you don't lose any "challenge chance" coin and electric effects on the door appears. These effects progressively get stronger each time you're closer to opening the door.
If all "challenge chance" coins are gone, the door disappears, and all the fulfilled requirements are cancelled. The door must be re-triggered again afterwards.
The EX-HARD gauge is forced on when you play the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE song.
NOTE: It is possible to use the Hourglass of Time to switch phases in order to unlock the ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE songs much more easily and quickly.
PRESENT Door ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE Song
FUTURE Door ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE Song
Chrono Seeker
The Chrono Seeker event is the first unlock system of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL, introduced on October 1st, 2014.
12/15/2014 UPDATE: The Chrono Seeker event ended on December 21st, 2014. All the songs unlocked for default play do stay, while Symmetry, NEO GENERATOR SEVEN and Broken Sword cannot be (currently) played anymore as the Chrono Seeker folder isn't accessible anymore.
The event only shows up in STANDARD mode, with only one player. Chrono Seeker is automatically activated after the first play session since the event started.
The main objective is to unlock new charts by collecting Crystal shards. In order to do this, you need to fulfill certain phase-specific unlock conditions, which are listed below. There are conditions for each class, i.e. one for the NORMAL (blue), one for the HYPER (yellow), and one for the ANOTHER (red) version of the new song. When a Crystal is materialized in the special event screen (which appears at the end of each play session), a special announcement appears and the respective chart is unlocked. The Crystal rows, which show up at the end of a play session, are divided in two sides, one for Chronos (left side) and one for Kairos (right side); these must be unlocked in order, from the top one to the bottom one. Crystals obtained during the PRESENT Phase appear on Chronos' side, Crystals obtained during the FUTURE Phase appear on Kairos' side.
The four Chrono Seeker songs can be unlocked in both Space-Time Phases, meaning from both sides of the Crystal rows. Therefore, if you "start" the event in the future phase, Chrono Seeker songs will be unlocked in the future and the revival/CS songs in the present phase. The requirements for unlocking the songs are the only main differences between the Space-Time Phases, event-wise. Requirements are satisfied even if you fail to clear the songs.
When you unlock a Chrono Seeker chart from a single side, you can play it in the special CHRONO SEEKER folder, available in the next play session on FINAL STAGE on coin play, or on EXTRA STAGE on PASELI play (in the rest of Asia, it appears on EXTRA STAGE on coin play only). Note that you MUST play the newly unlocked song before you can proceed to the next Crystal row, therefore to the successive song to unlock. At least one completed Crystal is required to unlock the next row.
Progression on the Crystal rows is shared between both Space-Time Phases; for example, if you have unlocked the third row on PRESENT Phase, on FUTURE Phase you can unlock any of the first three Chrono Seeker songs as you wish. You still have to play the song of the third row before working on the fourth one, of course.
You are allowed to complete multiple Crystals by satisfying different requirements in a single play session too.
When two Crystals of same color are completed on the same Crystal row, the respective Chrono Seeker chart permanently appears on regular play. This also unlocks the respective hidden Revival/CS Transplant for regular play too, whose available difficulty chart depends on which Chrono Seeker chart you have fully unlocked on both Crystal row sides.
For a quick resume of the Crystal rows and their songs:

Qpronicle Chord (phase 1)
The first phase of the Qpronicle Chord event, the second unlock system of beatmania IIDX 22 PENDUAL, begins on December 22nd, 2014.
Unlike Chrono Seeker, this event focuses on Q-pro's story again, where he returns to three old locations: the Lincle Kingdom from beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle, the tricoro City from beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro and Elferia from beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA. A single previous enemy of Q-pro from each game returns, but as a partner.
