AC Lincle: Difference between revisions

''Lincle Kingdom'' is the unlock event of beatmania IIDX 19 Lincle. Phase 1 started on September 28th, 2011, and Phase 2 started on November 16th, 2011. This event will ''only'' appear if you play a one-player round of STANDARD. eAMUSEMENT is required to play the event.

At the start of each playthrough, the player can choose among the following dungeons (the first three are removed upon starting Phase 2):

* Lost forest (迷いの森): high experience rates but low DELLAR.

* Dark swamp (仄暗い沼): higher encounter rates for rare enemies.

* Mountain of curses (呪いの山): higher DELLAR rates but low experience.

When playing a song, your Q-Pro and the enemy will be displayed at the bottom of the movie in the center of the screen (or lower left if playing Double). Clearing a song (score/grade does not matter) destroys an enemy and gains experience and DELLAR; failure results in the Q-Pro retreating, with no rewards.

After each playthrough, the player will be shown how much experience and DELLAR they obtained for the session. Acquiring enough experience levels up the character and unlocks rewards, including the access of playing boss songs during EXTRA STAGE. The maximum level your Q-Pro can be is 99. Progress is shared between Single and Double play styles.

At Level 6, Q-Pro is able to access new dungeons, each named after the seven deadly sins (except gluttony). Playing a full set of four songs, regardless of difficulty or clear, will award a fragment for that particular dungeon. Prior to July 19th, 2012, a condition for a full set of four songs must also be satisfied for each of the dungeon, as follows:

Accumulating a certain amount of fragments (five for NORMAL, ten for HYPER, and 15 for ANOTHER) in at least one boss dungeon will unlock the Ancient Shrine (太古の神殿)/Ancient Ruins (太古の遺跡). When selected, the player will be forced to play a boss song during EXTRA STAGE. All boss songs only show their artist name, not the song title. To obtain a feather for a boss, the player must clear the song with a certain DJ Level and gauge. Amulets can also be purchased through the game's website, which can be used for simplifying acquisition conditions. The number of rivals required must also be set in order for the equipped amulet to take effect. These conditions are:

For the hidden boss songs Beridzebeth (for Phase 1) and Neulakyussra (Phase 2), the feathers for that respective set of songs must be obtained for a particular difficulty. Failing to meet the condition for these bosses will forfeit all the feathers obtained for that particular set and difficulty. Clearing Beridzebeth at least once unlocks Phase 2, and acquiring all eight feathers allows the player to challenge Cuvelia on ONE MORE EXTRA STAGE on the same difficulty Neulakyussra was cleared (along with the forfeiture of Phase 2 feathers if failed). Once the feather for each of the respective bosses is acquired, that song can be played on EXTRA STAGE without any penalty of forfeiture of feathers.

As of January 26th, 2012, boss songs can now be unlocked for regular play through purchasing Devil cards via DELLAR (basic eAMUSEMENT subscription is required). Costs for HYPER and ANOTHER charts are worth twice and thrice the amount for NORMAL charts respectively: Phase 1 boss songs cost 10000 DELLAR, Phase 2 songs 20000, and Cuvelia 30000. Unlocking these charts is also required to unlock the EXPERT courses DEVIL (Phase 1 songs) and KINGDOM (Phase 2 songs and Cuvelia).
