The following may be seen has a Walkthrough for Conflux. It can also be described as a collective effort to decrypt Conflux wealth. Do not read further if you want to discover the incredibly complex world of this dungeon.

The collective effort may seems unfair to the creators of Conflux, but since Conflux is probably the bigger custom dungeon available, and also one of the most magical, it seems that no one human being can explore every areas. Spoiling it is not the aim of these wiki articles, but rather helping lost adventurers, helping them to find their way through this wonder.
