The Maze of Tribulations (試練の遺跡, Shiren no Iseki?), shortened to MoT, is a series of trial missions in Star Ocean: Anamnesis that reward the player with Maze Coins that can be exchanged for gems and Mission Tickets. It is accessible from the Bridge screen, right next to Deep Space Explorations.
Each banner is centered around a theme (e.g. Maze of Poison houses enemies that inflict poison, while the Temple of Elements have enemies that are vulnerable to a specific element). Some of the banners are time-limited; if this is the case, a timer will be displayed in the bottom-left corner. While permanent mazes have fifteen floors, many time-limited banners have twenty, with the first fifteen playable in the first week and the final five added for the second week.
The missions available abide by the same rules. All missions are single-player only and there is only one stage per battle. While Stamina is not consumed, players are limited to three attempts per day; failed attempts do not subtract from the attempt count. The player cannot continue after a Game Over, and must complete each mission sequentially in order to unlock the next, harder floor.
