Somna Mysterious Island Guide 2026
This Somna Mysterious Island Guide covers July’s map, where four towers and a Season Chest wait behind almost every explorer move you spend. Because all four paths link together into one chain, the order you clear them in decides whether you finish the map or run dry at tower three. Let’s break down every tower, every reward, and the smartest route on the island.
Somna Map: 4 Towers Overview
50,000 Valor Coins ·
100 Large Skin Stone Chests ·
10 Pattern Chests ·
2,000 Golden Threads ·Every tower on the Somna map hands you something worth the walk. Here is a full breakdown of what each one offers and the cheapest way to reach it.
1. Yellow Path Tower
Main Rewards:
- 50,000 Valor Coins
- 14 Season Chests
Straight from the start, the Yellow Path Tower costs 15 explorer moves and has no shortcut of its own. Clear literally any other tower first, though, and this one opens up for just 11 moves — a clean saving of 4. Since 15 is the cheapest opening price on the whole island, most players will want to lead with Yellow anyway and bank the discounts further down the chain.
2. Red Path Tower
Main Rewards:
- 100 Large Skin Stone Chests
- 10 Chest of Patterns
- 15 Season Chests
Red runs 16 explorer moves as a standalone trip, but it is really a tower you fold into a route. Take the Yellow Path first and Red drops to 12 extra moves. Better yet, clear the Orange Path Tower before it and Red becomes the single cheapest pickup on the island at only 5 extra moves. Given that 100 Large Skin Stone Chests sit at the end of it, nobody should be skipping this one.
3. Orange Path Tower
Main Rewards:
- 80,000 Valor Coins
- 15 Chest of Patterns
- 20 Season Chests
Twenty-one explorer moves is a steep opening price, so treat Orange as a follow-up rather than a starting move. Should you already hold the Red Path Tower, this one costs 10 extra moves. Coming off the Green Path Tower instead trims it further to 9 extra moves. Either discount roughly halves the cost, and with 80,000 Valor Coins plus 15 Pattern Chests waiting, Orange pays for itself the moment you approach it from the right side.
4. Green Path Tower
Main Rewards:
- 100,000 Valor Coins
- 2,000 Golden Threads
- 21 Season Chests
Sitting at the far end of the chain, Green matches Orange at 21 explorer moves from a cold start. Approach it correctly and that number collapses: clear the Orange Path Tower first and Green costs only 9 extra moves. Jump to it from the Yellow Path Tower alone, however, and you will pay 17 moves for the privilege. That gap is the single biggest routing trap on the map. Play it right and 100,000 Valor Coins plus 2,000 Golden Threads make this the richest stop of the four.
Somna Mysterious Island Guide: Route Optimization
Routing is where this map is won. A full clear of all four towers costs 46 explorer moves when sequenced correctly, against 73 if you stubbornly run each path from the start every time. That is 27 moves saved for nothing more than thinking ahead. The island works as a chain — Yellow connects to Red, Red to Orange, Orange to Green — with a long detour link running between Yellow and Green.
Consequently, the rule is simple: you pay full price for your first tower, then collect discounts all the way down the chain. Open with Yellow at 15 moves or Red at 16, never with Orange or Green at 21. Afterwards, walk the chain in order and the map handles the rest.
Best Full-Clear Routes
- Yellow → Red → Orange → Green = 15 + 12 + 10 + 9 = 46 moves
- Red → Orange → Green → Yellow = 16 + 10 + 9 + 11 = 46 moves
- Green → Orange → Red → Yellow = 21 + 9 + 5 + 11 = 46 moves
Running short on moves and unable to finish everything? Prioritise by value instead. Yellow gives the cheapest entry, Red delivers those 100 Large Skin Stone Chests for 5 moves once Orange is done, and Green carries the fattest Valor Coin payout on the island.

Total July Map Rewards
Clear all four towers in the right order and you walk away with a serious resource haul for 46 explorer moves. Here is everything the Somna map hands you across a full clear, Season Chests included.
Those 41 Season Chests are the part most players overlook. Every explorer move you spend, apart from the move used to enter a tower, hands back a Season Chest. Notice that the per-tower chest counts above add up to more than 41 — that is because those numbers assume you run each path solo from the start. Link the paths together on a full clear and the shared corridors disappear, so your move count drops to 46 and your chest count settles at 41.
Ultimately, that trade is worth making every time. Fewer moves spent means more towers cleared inside the event window, and the tower prizes dwarf the handful of extra chests you would pick up wandering the long way around. Spend your daily explorer moves consistently, walk the chain in order, and the Somna map empties out with room to spare.
