ZZZ 3.3 Enigma of the Labyrinth: the Spooky Trial season, Mimic Substance and new Tactical Prisms

HoYoverse has detailed the Version 3.3 changes to Enigma of the Labyrinth. The new season is called Spooky Trial. The official infographics are marked "in development": the live version may differ slightly.

New season: Spooky Trial

  • Treasures Counter: a new Proxy accessory, "Don't Hound Me" (a mask), is added after the season update.
  • Limited Spookies (limited time, during 3.3): redeem the Proxy accessory "Full Moon Homecoming" (a bag charm) with Season Coins.
  • Tactical Prisms: Phoenix and Severian join the exploration with their Tactical Prisms, along with Orphie & Magus, Soldier 0 - Anby, Alice, Trigger and Burnice. Update (October 21): the official 3.3 update notes confirm these seven Tactical Prisms; the first English notice only named Phoenix and Severian.
  • New Valuables: unlock their archive entries to earn Polychrome rewards.

Limited-time mode: Spooky Trial

During Version 3.3, the Tactics Training Division runs a round of Spooky Trials to prepare rookie investigators and Bangboo for the Divine Maze.

  1. Get Spookies Power Candles from the special Spookies Carrot containers.
  2. With enough candles, go to the Spookies Tactics Table to start a trial.
  3. Each trial has 3 challenges. Before each one, choose the reward you want, then spend candles to start the fight. The harder the fight, the better the rewards, and you can also earn buffs that last for the whole run.
  4. After each challenge you can claim the rewards and leave, or keep going.

A marker on the map before each Hollow entry shows when a Spooky Trial is available; you can take part or skip it.

The trial also gives a special reward, Candle Cores, which are turned into Season Coins only through Spookies Recycling: have Master Devil buy them back, or sell them at a friend's shop, another Inter-Knot user's shop, or any player's shop through a share code.

New supplies: Mimic Substance

  • In high-risk investigations, some containers and enemies drop Mimic Substance.
  • Collect 3 different types: they react, disappear and reveal the valuable item hidden inside.
  • Leftover Mimic Substance becomes inactive once you leave the Hollow (it can no longer be used for crafting), but you can sell it on extraction.

Interaction improvements (all platforms)

  • Keyboard and mouse: extra shortcut keys for item actions, and you can still scroll the list with the mouse wheel while dragging an item.
  • Mobile: a configurable button to interact with items outside combat.
  • Controller: use or discard items with a single button press; the item pickup method can be set in the Options.
Spooky Trial in short

Only start a trial when you have enough candles for the reward you want, and cash out after a challenge if your run is getting risky: the rewards you already chose are yours to claim.
