What Are Kofuns?
Whenever you reach one of the above locations to find a Kofun, you'll find an underground entrance at the exact position of the marker on the map. As you enter through t🔥his, you'll hardly be able to see anything, which is where the main difficulty of these K𝕴ofuns comes from.
You have to navigate your way through tiny paths and hidden gaps, sometimes even solving various puzzles to get the final legendary chest in a Kofun. Each time you get one of these chests, you can get legendary gear, Knowled☂ge Point, an⭕d 1,000 EXP.
Some Kofuns can only be entered and beaten by one of the characters, which means you'll have to switch to either Naoe or Yasuke.
