Deep Cognito

Overview

Deep Cognito is a combat challenge mode in Silver Palace. It was available during the Monotype Beta as standalone combat content separate from the story campaign.

Structure

Deep Cognito presents players with combat scenarios designed to test their team composition, gear builds, and mechanical skill. The challenges are independent of the main investigation storyline, providing a pure combat experience for players who want to focus on the action RPG side of the game.

Difficulty Tiers

Deep Cognito is organized into numbered difficulty tiers that scale up the challenge as players progress. During the Monotype Beta, the highest available tier was Tier 7, and clearing Deep Cognito Tier 7 served as a milestone that unlocked certain in-test surveys. Each step up the tiers raises enemy strength and demands stronger team composition and gear, so the upper tiers function as the endgame combat benchmark of the beta build.

Rewards

Completing Deep Cognito challenges provides progression rewards. The specifics of what rewards were available during the beta and what the full release version will offer have not been fully documented. Combat challenge modes in similar games typically reward upgrade materials, currency, and occasionally exclusive equipment.

Case Simulation

A second combat challenge mode called Case Simulation also appeared in the beta. Like Deep Cognito, it provided combat encounters outside the story. Whether these two modes are separate systems or different tiers of the same system is unclear from beta data alone.
