The main story quest for Pilgrim&#8217;s Traverse concludes after defeating the boss on Floor 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant change from previous Deep Dungeons is the introduction of more generous checkpoints.

In a major accessibility improvement, you can now use the Duty Finder&#8217;s matched party system to queue for all 100 floors, eliminating the need for a pre-formed &#8220;fixed party&#8221; for higher-level content.
