Notes

• Levels that are marked as unlocked by "Compass" require that the compasses in all 7 compass fields be set correctly.
• Hextile S is inaccessible, and the only one that doesn't have levels.
• Endurance mode on any field or difficulty has 999 waves. Only the hit points vary, depending on the difficulty and the field.
• "Gem types available" lists only those that are guaranteed to appear for that field even if the player doesn't have any gem component skills from tome chambers or the Magician's Pouch.
• All Secret fields have little black dots between each of the three difficulty lights. They are all unlocked either by the Mysterious Compass or by beating certain fields on Glaring Difficulty.

Trivia

• All story-related fields have structures exclusive to that associated field or event when encountered for the first time.
• In the original version of the game, hextiles C, L, and W are only accessible with the Magician's Pouch.
• Field X5 does not have an Endurance Mode, so the field is limited to 99 waves on the easiest settings.
• The sound effect of each secret field revealing itself is the same as in Labyrinth when a corner field is unlocked.
• V.1.1.0 introduced Vision Fields V5-V18.
• Vision Fields V19-V23 are exclusive to the Steam version of the game and feature the Arcane Guardians as the final bosses.
