Clear Room 3, defeat the Behemoth Boss, collect Relic Orbs, and grow stronger with permanent training and gear upgrades.

Animal Relic Hunters is a 30-expedition room-action campaign. Guide the lion explorer through three connected chambers, let the equipped relic weapon fire automatically, and steer around enemies whose behavior changes by ruin region. Relic Orbs create temporary level-up choices during a run, while Gold, training, equipment and mission progress remain on this browser. Six five-mission regions end with six different Guardians rather than one repeated enlarged enemy.
The Relic Road once connected Moss Gate, Echo Gallery, Crystal Vault, Sunken Shrine, Moon Archive and Crown Court. When the Crown seal failed, its energy did not simply make local beasts stronger. Moss creatures began dividing and charging, gallery sentries attacked from beyond weapon range, crystal keepers formed impact wards, shrine beasts repaired themselves, and archive hunters interrupted relic fire with silence bolts.
The player guides Boom Mane Lion, a field explorer carrying an automatic relic focus. Every expedition recovers one stretch of the road. Elites in the first two rooms guard Golden Keys; the key opens a chest whose Weapon, Armor or Boots can be kept in the permanent backpack. The third room decides whether the route is safe. Expeditions 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 lead to the Moss Guardian, Echo Warden, Prism Colossus, Mirecoil Hydra, Archive Keeper and Relic Crown Monarch. Defeating the Monarch means all six archives can exchange relics again instead of remaining isolated behind corrupted chambers.
Expedition flow: choose one unlocked card from the 30-mission rail. Begin Room 1 with full run HP and current equipment. Clear the group and delayed key-carrying Elite, collect its key, open the chest and enter the portal. Room 2 uses a harder mix. Room 3 ends with an Elite guardian or, every fifth mission, a named regional Guardian.
Movement and attacks: use WASD, arrow keys, a held primary mouse button in the arena, or the phone joystick. The weapon automatically aims at the nearest enemy. A Crystal Sword adds direct damage, a Relic Dagger shortens the firing interval, Armor adds Max HP and Boots add movement speed. Position remains the player's main action: circling a chaser, crossing behind a shooter and leaving an orbiter's preferred ring require different routes.
Threat rules: rushers alternate a slow stalk with a fast charge; shooters hold range and fire relic bolts; pulsers launch radial rings; splitters release two rushers when defeated; wards cancel a fixed number of projectile hits; regenerators heal after avoiding damage; slowing beasts reduce movement on contact; orbiters travel around the explorer; silencers temporarily stop automatic fire. Region 6 combines these rules instead of introducing a larger copy of a basic animal.
Guardian phases: each regional Boss changes at 70 and 35 percent HP. Moss calls more rushers. Echo releases larger radial barrages. Crystal restores a hit-count ward. Mire heals and summons slowing beasts. Moon combines orbit movement with silence volleys. Crown adds wards, barrages, summons and recovery. The final mission therefore tests reading several effects, not only surviving a longer health bar.
Run growth: defeated enemies drop green Relic Orbs. Filling the EXP bar pauses the room and offers three relic upgrades, such as damage, attack rate, Max HP, movement or pickup range. One optional three-Diamond reroll is available per draft. Run relic counts reset when a new expedition starts, so the next build may solve the same threat mix differently.
Permanent growth: Gold pickups and duplicate gear conversion feed equipment upgrades. Saved character levels grant training points for damage, HP, speed or magnet range. The backpack records collected gear and which item is equipped in each of three slots. The optional Mist Amulet is a confirmed one-time Diamond purchase that changes starting HP from 30 to 40; it is not required for any mission, chest or Guardian.
Expeditions 1-5 establish nearest-target aiming, ordinary chasers, timed charges and splitting enemies. The Moss Guardian summons rushers at both phase thresholds.
Expeditions 6-10 turn space into a crossfire problem with shooters and radial pulsers. The Echo Warden's expanding volleys make the room edge dangerous.
Expeditions 11-15 introduce hit-count wards and shielded mixed groups. The Prism Colossus rebuilds its protection twice, so burst timing matters.
Expeditions 16-20 combine regeneration, slowing contact and ranged pressure. The Mirecoil Hydra heals and calls slow-field beasts during its phases.
Expeditions 21-25 add orbit routes and temporary attack silence. The Archive Keeper fires multi-angle silence volleys while circling the explorer.
Expeditions 26-30 remix all prior threats. Six-Seal Court is the full regular-enemy exam; the Relic Crown Monarch then combines ward, barrage, summons and recovery.
Three rooms let relic drafts and chest gear affect a final test without turning one mission into a long survival session. Auto-fire keeps phone input focused on movement, while mouse hold and keyboard preserve precise desktop control. Expedition 30 Room 3 stays below a 2.3 base scale; difficulty comes from range control, phases and mixed behaviors. Unlike Animal Crystal Survivor's open timed arena or Animal Auto Squad's pre-battle formation, room order, carried HP, gear decisions and live navigation form one connected expedition.
Mission progress, character level, EXP, Gold, training, owned gear, gear levels, equipped slots and Mist Amulet ownership are stored locally in this browser. No login is required for basic play, and clearing site storage may remove that progress. The game does not award platform Diamonds from battle. Diamonds are optional spending choices for the confirmed Mist Amulet or one relic-draft reroll; all 30 expeditions and six Guardians can be played without them.
