Recover the manuscript
Reach the sealed chamber that holds Book of Xadebu. The maze rebuilds before each attempt, so a memorized route will not solve the next expedition.
Scarlet Chamber Archive
A compact record of the shifting route, scarab locations, controls, hazards, and scoring used in the Xadebu search.
Collect the five scarabs
Five scarab marks are placed in open chambers. Each one improves the active score and strengthens the final recovery bonus.
Protect the expedition
Fire traps cost one life and reduce the score. Once triggered, a trap disappears for the rest of that attempt.
Watch the expedition clock
You begin with a limited timer and three lives. When time expires, a life is removed and the clock restarts.
Finish with a stronger record
Reaching Book of Xadebu completes the route. Scarabs and remaining seconds contribute to the final browser score.
