Dungeon Route

Similarly to Operation Hope dungeon, Black Purgatory is divided into 4 sections, and in each section, you can pick which route you want to take. Depends on the route you take in each section, you will face different enemies.
There are two type of Mini-bosses you will face before fighting the final boss: Dark Knight and Follower.

Defeat Dark Knights will increase dungeon rewards. The more Dark Knight you defeat (up to 3), the higher the rewards.
Defeat Followers will increase party's damage throughout the dungeon.

So in the beginning of the dungeon, you're given 3 routes:

In Dark Knight Encounter Route, you will face 1 Follower and1 Dark Knight.
In Follower Encounter Route, you will face 1 Follower, however, there is a chance a Dark Knight will intrude. If the Dark Knight show up, it will have less HP than the one in Dark Knight Route.
In APC Rescue Route, you can rescue a random APCs. There are 6 available APCs, each will give you different ability to use.

Overall, in between 4 sections, the game gives you route options so you can face up to 3 Dark Knights and rescue up to 2 APCs. Therefore depends on your party strength, you can pick and choose how many you want to face as you see fit.
Through out the dungeon route, War Merchant Posha will be available to you to buy helpful potions along with the ability for party leader to use a one-time everyone skill reset.
