However only three players they will be able to take part in this mission, while everyone else will be able to watch the finale as spectators.
To get to the end of the game, users will have to collect information and objects, the latter are particularly difficult to obtain and will require collaboration between players. They are received by completing quests, which require you to click on “suspicious” areas of the floating continent map and solve puzzles. Players will be able to keep these items for themselves or cooperate with other players.
“Humanity managed to survive by living on the floating continent, the last safe haven on Earth where life is still possible amidst the pollution. As conflict no longer exists, people live in peace. However their lives were shocked by the sudden attack of the Dragon, endangering the very existence of the Floating Continent. As humanity fights to repel its attack, it is faced with choices that will determine its fate. Unraveling the mystery behind the origins of this world, will have to face the decisions to lead it towards an ideal future,” reads the synopsis of Symbiogenesis.

“There are several ways players can get the items: tap places on the map that look suspicious, search using the various information and hints, or acquire the items on the secondary market.”
Hints for finding items are included in the stories of the various characters. However, to access these stories, you must own the NFT character or its NFT replica. There are cases where it is possible to find items based on a single hint , but most cases will require players to combine multiple hints to find the answer. The key to completing the different missions is to gather as much information as possible.”
“To reach the world quest and complete the final stage of the game, you must complete all quests and acquire certain items to meet the conditions. However, finding the items is very difficult and will require players to cooperate. Multiple approaches are possible: monopolize the items needed as a single player or share them with close friends, or work together with various players. Only 3 players will be able to take part in the final mission. Players who failed to obtain these items will only be able to witness the outcome of the World Mission. By completing the mission worldwide, players can get a valuable unique NFT as a reward.”
