For the players coming from FFXIV: this is what inspired [https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Deep_Dungeons Deep Dungeons]. Both share many similarities.

You start on floor 1 and try to reach 100. Progress is saved every 5 floors, and it is possible to pick up from a previously reached floor by spending unique Tokens. Every 20 floors there's a boss fight, and floor 100 is the final boss.

<h3 style="font-size:21px; padding-bottom:5px; font-weight:bold; border-bottom: 2px solid #4696cf; font-family:'Segoe UI';">How it Works</h3>
<span style="color:; font-size:20px;">'''General Info'''</span>

When you first enter the lobby, you will receive a {{KI}} [[Runic disc]] by interacting with the '''Rune of Transfer'''. This Permanent Key Item automatically saves your <u>personal</u> Floor progress. Your progress is saved every 5 Floors.<br>
When you attempt this for the first time, you start from Floor 1. Once inside, the you'll have 30 minutes to progress.<br>
Upon entering each floor, you will receive a random '''Floor Objective''' message, and the '''Rune of Transfer''' - which allows you to progress to the next floor - will only activate after completing this random objective.

Each floor has a random layout and no in-game maps are available. Navigating them can sometimes be a bit confusing, so make sure to bring your {{KI}} [[Tenshodo Certified Navigator's Diploma|<span style="color:#2a4bab;">Tenshodo Certified Navigator's Diploma</span>]].<br>
...jokes aside, maps of the floors exist, but not in-game. I recommend using the in-game compass, and either draw your own floor maps as you go (I prefer this method, as I find it to be quicker), or use the the premade ones listed below and add your own notes to them.

<hr style="border: 1px dashed #4696cf;">

<span style="color:; font-size:20px;">'''Nyzul Tokens'''</span>

Often referred to as just '''Tokens''', this currency is obtained by successfully completing Floors, by exiting using the '''Rune of Transfer''' before time is up.

These tokens are used for:

<span style="color:; font-size:20px;">'''Obtaining a Vigil Weapon'''</span>

You can obtain '''Vigil Weapons''' two ways:
*They have a chance of dropping from the NMs you randomly encounter on Floors.
**The weapon they drop is random. (And I have a gut feeling the game favors some Jobs more than others... or I was just unlucky!)
*They are a ({{gdrop}})uaranteed drop from the Floor 100 Boss.
**Two weapons will drop from the Boss. One will be a weapon matching your Job (or the Job of the player who queued the party into the instance - always referred to as "Party Leader" in this guide) and the other one will be random.
**This is different for [[Geomancer]]s and [[Runefencer]]s, as they do not have a weapon. If the Party Leader is on one of these two Jobs, both of the weapons from the Floor 100 Boss will be random.

<h3 style="font-size:21px; padding-bottom:5px; font-weight:bold; border-bottom: 2px solid #4696cf; font-family:'Segoe UI';">Floor Maps</h3>
Maps of the floors exist, but not in-game. I recommend using the in-game compass, and either draw your own floor maps as you go (I prefer this method, as I find it to be quicker), or use the the premade ones listed below and add your own notes to them.

Each floor will have a different map. There are only 6 maps, but the layout will be random every time, because the doors connecting each room can be found open or closed off.<br>
The {{color|#4696cf|blue lines}} separating the rooms indicate doors that might be open or closed:

'''Important Notes:'''
*There are 3 possible ways to activate the lamps, listed below, and you can <u>only know exactly which one it is when activating the first Lamp</u>, because the initial Floor Objective message will be the same for all 3.
*You need to click on the Lamps twice. The first time you'll get the objective message, the second time you'll actually be able to activate them.

'''The 3 Different Ways:'''
* Only 1 '''Runic Lamp''' spawns on the floor, and every player in the party has to activate it.
**It takes a few seconds for the Lamps to actually light up, so wait a few seconds to make sure this is your objective.
* 3 to 5 '''Runic Lamps''' spawn on the floor, and they need to be activated "at the same time."
**It is not actually "at the same time," because each Lamp will remain lit up for a little while after being activated. This is completely soloable, just go activate all of them.
* 3 to 5 '''Runic Lamps''' spawn on the floor, and they need to be activated in a specific order.
**This is also completely soloable, but it is the most annoying, headache inducing one. Please read carefully:
**Sometimes, simply activating the Lamps in the order you find them unlocks the floor right away (in my experience, this worked 95% of the time, but it could be just luck.)
**To save time and sanity, <u>always</u> note down where the lamps are and the order in which you are activating them.
**You will be able to know exactly how many Lamps are on the current floor after you interact with the 3rd one you find:
***The Lamps will only light up IF you have activated all of them, which means... if you found the 3rd Lamp, wait a few seconds and check if it lights up.
***If it does light up, it means there's only 3 total Lamps. If it doesn't light up, there's more than 3. Find the next one and check again. Keep going until you find all of them.
**The Lamp(s) will ONLY STAY LIT under 2 conditions:
***'''Condition #1:''' You correctly guessed the order, and the '''Rune of Transfer''' activation message will confirm this. You can now progress to the next floor.
***'''Condition #2:''' You correctly guessed the activation order of that Lamp, and maybe some of the others as well.

<u>Everytime</u> you wish to enter the '''Nyzul Isle Investigation''' instance, you'll have to repeat these steps:
*Talk with [[Rytaal]] (Aht Urhgan Whitegate, Commissions Agency, K-10) to obtain an {{KI}} [[Imperial Army I.D. tag]].
**If you already have a different active Assault mission, you'll have to abandon it by selecting ➔ ''{{Color|style=normal|water|Cancel appliaction.}} then take another I.D tag.
*In the same room, talk with [[Sorrowful Sage]] (L-9) to grab {{KI}} [[Nyzul Isle Assault orders]].
**''{{Color|style=normal|water|View mission list.}}'' ➔ ''{{Color|style=normal|water|Nyzul Isle Investigation.}}'' ➔ ''{{Color|style=normal|water|Yes.}}''
*Go outside and enter the '''[[Chamber of Passage]]''' right across, at (K-8). Once inside, go up the staircase and interact with the '''Runic Portal''' (L-7) to be automatically teleported to the [[Alzadaal Undersea Ruins]] (Map 5).
*Walk west, you'll find the '''Runic Seal''' door and an NPC on the right named [[Shahayl]].
*Grab an {{KI}} [[Assault armband]] from [[Shahayl]], it is required to enter.
**''{{Color|style=normal|water|Yes.}}'' ➔ ''{{Color|style=normal|water|Yes. (50 credits)}}''
*You will now be able to queue into the lobby by interacting with the '''Runic Seal'''.
**''{{Color|style=normal|water|Nyzul Isle Investigation.}}'' ➔ ''{{Color|style=normal|water|Yes.}}''
*Inside the lobby you will be able to enter the instance by interacting with the '''Rune of Transfer'''.

Once you exit the instance, you'll be teleported back to the [[Alzadaal Undersea Ruins]] (Map 5) and you'll be able to use one of the '''Runic Portals''' at (J-8/9) to teleport back to the '''Chamber of Passage'''.

:...basically get {{KI}} [[Imperial Army I.D. tag]] ➔ get {{KI}} [[Nyzul Isle Assault orders]] ➔ get {{KI}} [[Assault armband]] ➔ get in ➔ get out ➔ repeat!

<span style="color:; font-size:20px;">'''Entering As a Party Member'''</span>

<u>Everytime</u> you wish to enter the '''Nyzul Isle Investigation''' instance to get taxi'd from Floor 96, you'll have to repeat all the steps above except for the {{KI}} [[Assault armband]].
*Only the Party Leader (the person interacting with the '''Runic Seal''' and queueing the party into the instance) has to grab it.

:...basically if you're not the Party Leader, get {{KI}} [[Imperial Army I.D. tag]] ➔ get {{KI}} [[Nyzul Isle Assault orders]] ➔ get in ➔ get out ➔ repeat!

<h2 style="font-size:25px; padding:5px; font-weight: bold; border-bottom: 4px solid #4696cf; font-family:'Segoe UI';">{{color|#4696cf|◆}} Questions</h2>
'''Is this soloable?'''
*Short Answer - Yes!
*Long Answer - Also Yes! A low geared Lv.99 player can easily kill everything. Your only enemy is TIME. That's why I recommend having a way to speed up your movement and avoid unnecessary fights. AND unnecessary walking around. Keep maps on the side, and note down where you find those stupid lamps.

'''How long would it take?'''
*If done solo, it's very luck dependent. If you end up having to get to 100 because your weapon just WON'T drop, it will take a while, but less than 10 hours. I (Lv.99 COR/DNC) was unlucky and had to go for the guaranteed Floor 100 drop.
**Including the Floor 100 drops, these are the weapons I got on my first, full run: PLD x2 BLM x2, MNK x3, BST x5, RNG x2, BRD x3, DRG x2, BLU x2, SCH x1, PUP x1, SMN x1, THF x1, DNC x1, COR x1.
