Walkthrough
Objective: Players must collect 20 units of crystal energy and defeat the dungeon's special boss, the Crystal Demon.
First Stage
The dungeon field is a circle with six colored columns, near which red, blue, or green crystals periodically appear.
Players should use auto-attacks to move and combine these crystals, creating medium-sized crystals. Combination occurs when crystals are brought close together.
The color of the medium crystal depends on the combination of colors:
Red + Red = Shining Red Crystal
Green + Green = Shining Green Crystal
Blue + Blue = Shining Blue Crystal
Red + Green = Shining Yellow Crystal
Red + Blue = Shining Purple Crystal
Green + Blue = Shining Cyan Crystal
Crystal and Column
To gain crystal energy, players must push medium-sized crystals towards columns of matching colors: yellow to yellow, green to green, purple to purple, etc. When a crystal enters the glowing field of a column, it is absorbed, and a message in the general chat indicates the energy collected.
Each absorbed crystal grants +1 energy point. To summon the dungeon boss, 20 crystals must be collected and merged with the columns.
Crystal Devourer
Crystal Devourers will attempt to hinder this task. These special mobs may appear at any column during the first stage, attacking and destroying nearby small and medium crystals, slowing the dungeon progress. Players can kill or distract them to prevent this.
Second Stage
After collecting 20 energy units, the boss, Crystal Demon, appears. The boss attacks both single and multiple targets, potentially dealing significant damage to players with low HP. During mass attacks, the boss absorbs nearby small and medium crystals.
Absorbing small crystals strengthens the boss:

Absorbing medium crystals applies debuffs to the boss, aiding in its defeat:
