Why is my SHÜM machine locked?
Pick what you see and get the checks that apply. The site cannot read your save, so these are requirements to confirm, not a live status.
The cabinet is there but inactive
- 1Confirm the Zone is progressed far enough; a SHÜM cabinet unlocks through Zone progression.
- 2Check whether the Zone still has a story gate ahead of the cabinet.
- 3Check that you have the traversal ability the route expects.

SHÜM rewards and leaderboard
SHÜM runs feed Zone XP, and leaderboard placement adds rewards on top of that.
Leaderboard
- 1stReset Item
- 2ndPower Upgrade Point
- 3rdCustomization reward
Higher placements include the lower-tier rewards.
SHÜM → Score → Zone XP
A SHÜM result contributes toward Zone progression. The full Zone Level and upgrade picture lives with the Zones, not on this page.
Exact placement thresholds and named reward items are only shown once they are verified in game data.

SHÜM FAQ
- How many SHÜM machines are there?
- Eight: seven Zone cabinets plus one that appears after the main story.
- Why is my SHÜM machine locked?
- Check the Zone's progression first. Some cabinets also have a story, access or route requirement on top of that.
- Do I need first place for the SHÜM trophy?
- No. The trophy is for playing a level in SHÜM, not for topping the leaderboard.
- What do SHÜM challenges reward?
- Zone XP for the run, plus leaderboard rewards such as customization items, a Power Upgrade Point and a Reset Item.
- Is SHÜM a World Feat?
- No. SHÜM is its own arcade challenge system. Both connect to Zone progression, but the tasks and rules are different.
