Uncharted Journey is an exploration mode in the Hall of Trials in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Spirit, where you have to reveal adjacent tiles on a grid across four regions. This guide will provide you with a complete walkthrough of Uncharted Journey in the game, including all the best strategies.
How to Unlock & Enter Uncharted Journey
Before entering Uncharted Journey, you need to achieve Account Level 7, which also unlocks Guild Boss. Alternatively, you can clear the normal story stage N5-10 as a side progression track. There are four regions with a total of 85 tasks, and here’s how to enter this mode:
- You receive one entry ticket per day, but you can store up to seven.
- Choose a route when starting, including Onslaught Mode (5-phase route) or Maneuver Mode (12-phase route).
- You can retry either route without spending another ticket until you defeat the final boss for the first time on that difficulty.
- Completing a full route grants rewards and a single clue.
- If you collect 6 clues, you’ll unlock the final boss for that region.
- Defeating the final boss unlocks the next difficulty.
Note that re-clearing the exploration route can weaken the final boss, which you can do up to three times, so do this if the final boss looks to be too hard.
Best Uncharted Journey Strategies
Before attempting to clear any grid, you must understand all the tile symbols and prisoner types that you encounter. Here they are:
| Tiles | Effects |
|---|---|
| Obstacle | When revealed, the surrounding rooms cannot be explored. |
| Guard | Interact to remove all prisoners in the same row and column. |
| Upgrade Point | Spend Cash to upgrade assets. |
| Small Change | Receive a small amount of Cash. |
| Rest Point | Restore a portion of Stamina. |
| Unknown Asset | Choose one of two randomly selected assets. |
| Unknown Consumable | Choose one of two randomly selected consumables. |
| Shop | Spend Cash on assets and consumables. |
| Prisoner Blocker | Special effect blocks the eight surrounding unrevealed rooms. |
| Prisoner Disruptor | Special effect prevents consumable use while present. |
| Prisoner Hoarder | Special effect causes a loss of 5% of the current Cash each time a new room is revealed while present. |
| Prisoner Brute | Special effect doubles the Stamina cost to remove. |
Once you learn all the tiles, you can start successfully executing the following Uncharted Journey strategy:
- Start at the entrance of the grid layout.
- Tap adjacent revealed tiles to explore.
- Every tap costs Stamina, but revealed tiles can contain Shops and Upgrade Points, so it’s worth checking.
- Exit will lead you to the next level with other special tiles, such as free cash, assets, and consumables.
- Manage your Stamina carefully, or you’ll run out of your limit too soon.
- Use rest points to restore a portion of your Stamina, and you can hold up to three consumables to reduce Stamina consumption.
- Collect cash during the run to spend at shops and upgrade points on assets and consumables.
- Rinse and repeat through all the levels of your chosen mode until the final battle.
Note that the layout is random each run, so try exploring each time carefully, as efficient pathing is much more rewarding than pure brute force.
