The Maple Expedition is gearing up for another dungeon crawl, and the mysterious appearance of a pyramid in the middle of the Nihal Desert has sent them looking for the help of adventurers to uncover the secrets of the pyramid and claim the Pharaoh's Treasure!

The magic of the pyramid has a strange effect on those that delve within. Regardless of the equipment you bring, or the skills you have mastered, none of it will help you once you venture inside. Instead, you will need to claim powers from inside the pyramid, and find special relics to help you battle against the increasingly powerful foes you'll encounter within.

Battle your way through the roguelike dungeon and defeat the final boss of each chamber to claim EXP and a wealth of special rewards from your share of the Pharaoh's Treasure!
