Lord of Mysteries Systems Guide: All 6 Launch Systems
All six Lord of Mysteries launch systems decoded: marionettes, Fate Council, SAN, Sealed Artifacts, Connections and the gear system — unlocks, loops, mistakes and FAQ.
The game's cultivation, faction, survival, equipment, social and companion systems in one dossier. Each file covers unlock conditions, resources, the gameplay loop, and common mistakes; anything we could not verify is marked 待核验.

The six files
Choose a file, or read all six — the featured launch-window systems.
FILE 01 · COMPANION SYSTEM
Marionette Cultivation
The official name of the "pet" system — 秘偶 (marionette). How it unlocks through the main story, the Spirit Body Threads mechanic, its three combat roles, and the loop that keeps a marionette growing.
Community term: 宠物 (pet) · 宠物养成
Open fileFILE 02 · FACTION SYSTEM
Fate Council
The neutral faction raised from the School of Life's council of elders — the probability-correcting Fate Die (命运骰子), the fortune/calamity ledger behind it, and why the camp suits patient, low-conflict play.
Official term: 命运议会 · Fate Council
Open fileFILE 03 · SURVIVAL SYSTEM
Sanity (SAN) System
The 理智值 (SAN) survival bar — why it drops from witnessing the unnameable, the staged descent toward 失控 (loss of control), and every recovery and protection channel.
Official term: 理智值 · SAN
Open fileFILE 04 · ARTIFACT SYSTEM
Sealed Artifacts
The 封印物 combat-power system — three artifact classes, effect-versus-drawback pairing, and the Extraordinary Substance embed-and-aggregate layer stacked on top of your gear.
Official term: 封印物 · Substance layer: 非凡物质
Open fileFILE 05 · SOCIAL SYSTEM
Connections
The 人脉 (Connections) social system — borrow combat power as Historical Projections of past figures, explicitly beyond pathway and sequence limits: Historical Lantern draws, the daily affinity loop, co-battle groups, and bonds.
Community term: 人脉 · EN: Connections (unofficial)
Open fileFILE 06 · EQUIPMENT SYSTEM
Gear System
The 装等 (item level) ladder, how rolled 词条 affixes actually work — pierce, armor break, block — and the 装备重塑 reroll loop that funds it, up to the 65-item-level raid tier.
Community terms: 装等 · 词条 · 重塑 · 毕业
Open fileOne rule for all six files
The CN Open Beta went live on 2026-08-21. The community has mapped the shape of all six systems, but exact thresholds, rates, and reward quantities have not been confirmed. Where a figure could not be verified, we say so in the copy itself — marked 待核验 (pending verification).
