Love & Deepspace: Mountain Journey Event Guide

You can play minigames, explore the map, earn Guidebooks and Souvenir Photos, and complete special storylines with each Love Interest.

Mountain Journey has separate storylines and text adventures for each Love Interest, and there's no single-lock-in.

Stages of Mountain Journey

In Mountain Journey, you and your companions are given a Treasure Map to explore new locations.

Mountain Journey has three different game modes: a minigame, a storyline, and map quest stages.

Quests on the Treasure Map

The Treasure Map Quest is on the main screen. There are twelve locations on the treasure map.

Each location on the map has a different challenge. Some stages contain battles, while others are text messages or mini-stories, offering information about the trip and the Love Interests.

Treasure Hunting

Treasure Hunt is a match-two game with two game modes: Precise Search and Infinite Storage.

In Precise Search, you receive a daily gem target to achieve. To finish the challenge, combine two identical gems to merge them into larger gems. Keep merging gems until you reach the target gems shown in the task bar at the top of the gem fall box.

Infinite Storage follows the same rules of Precise Search (match two gems to upgrade them), but you can continue matching infinitely. There is no timer or gem-goal.

However, hitting the fill line at the top of the screen will trigger a three-second countdown. If your gems touch the fill line for more than three seconds, the game ends.

As you add gems to the gem box, you can also use your companion's special skill as a power up to help you complete the challenge. Each companion can use their power three times during a round and will run out of charges once they've used their third one.

Here are the love interest's special powers:

Character

Ability Name

Ability Power

Xavier

Knight's Advent

'Select a spot and Xavier's sword will drop directly onto it. The sword splits the first gem it touches into two random low-level gems.'

Zayne

Foreseer's Edict

'After you select a gem, Zayne will merge it with gems of the same type. The merged gem will drop from the top. You can't select the highest-level gem on the field.'

Rafayel

Sea's Indulgence

'Rafayel will bring waves to shift the gems' positions.'

Sylus

Fiend's Greed

'Sylus randomly takes away a high-level gem.'

There are ten sizes of gems in total. Once you've merged a gem into the tenth size (the giant silver pendant) you cannot merge it anymore. That means that the silver pendants will take up too much space in your gem box, and you'll need to either use a companion power up to get rid of them, or quit the game and start over.

A great strategy to employ is to only use certain character's power up abilities at the later stages of the game when your gem box is filled with large, high-level gems. Sylus's ability, Fiend's Greed, in particular, is most useful when your gem box is filled with high-level gems.

Xavier's ability is great for splitting large gems, but not ideal for clearing the board.

Journey Footprints

In Journey Footprints, you unlock a new story stage each day. There are six story stages to complete, not including the prologue which is unlocked upon entering the event and will automatically play the first time you enter Mountain Journey with one of the love interests.

Each character has a different story to follow in Mountain Journey, so it's worth the effort to play each storyline while you can. These stories will not return after the event is over!

To unlock Journey Footprint chapters, you need to wait until the chapter is open server-wide, and you need to use Souvenir Photos (collected as rewards for completing Mountain Journey tasks) to unlock the stage.

Rewards and Shop

Mountain Journey has a task system, the Travel Guide, that rewards you with Guidebooks, the currency used in the Traveller's Shop, as you complete challenges and meet story milestones during the event.

To earn Guidebooks, complete story stages with each one of the characters, Treasure Hunt levels, Explorations, and earn 100 Daily Task points in your Agenda.

As you earn Guidebooks, you will hit Guidebook milestones and earn Souvenir Photos to be spent on opening Journey Footprint stages each day.

The Traveler's Shop

The Traveller's Shop is a temporary store open during the Mountain Journey event and for one extra day after it ends. You can buy limited edition items, such as Deepspace Wishes Limited, character outfits, accessories, and more, using Guidebooks in the shop.

Even after you have bought all the limited quantity event items, you can still earn more Guidebooks to spend on infinite stock items like Gold.

The Love And Deepspace developers are fair with these events. You can easily collect enough Guidebooks to buy every item in the shop long before the event period ends if you are committed to finishing the event tasks and logging in daily.
