About the Champion Mission

Eligibility

A special mission reserved exclusively for previous-season conquerors.

Condition

Past SP/CM conquerors must clear both the Special Mission and the Champion Mission to have their run recognized as a valid conquest.

Will the challenger prevail — or will the champion defend their pride?

※ Since it's reserved for the immediately preceding season's conquerors, a Season 1 champion will not face the Champion Mission in Season 3 unless they also conquered Season 2.

Feel free to ask any questions about "THE CHALLENGE" on our Discord server.

04 Regulations
05 FAQ
Is enemy spinning allowed?
Yes. It's considered part of the player's skill, and we recognize it as a legitimate technique within the runner's own ability.
Can I only challenge one DD?
No — every participant is eligible to challenge all of the Deep Dungeons.
Where do the prizes come from?
Everything comes out of my own pocket. The gil has been saved up little by little through submarine voyages.
When is the next season?
For now, the plan is to wait until all current challenges have been cleared. Once they are, we'll continue the series with a slight adjustment to the difficulty.
Can I post about this on X (Twitter)?
Absolutely — it's more than welcome. We'd love it if you use the #DD_THE_CHALLENGE tag. Feel free to post anything, any thoughts at all.
06 About Me
りらおる

illustrated by @linoail

I'm りらおる (Lyre Orpheus) — a Miqo'te adventurer on the Gaia Ridill server.

This project started as a small, private Discord server where I gathered solo Deep Dungeon information for friends running DD solo. It grew so rich with information that I felt it would be a waste to keep it private, so I opened it to the public.

As more people joined the server, I wanted to breathe life into the solo challenge scene, and from that came "THE CHALLENGE".

The server itself is built mainly for those who are just starting their solo conquest journey — so please don't hesitate to drop by. Everyone's welcome.
