Check Events
Check Events are a mechanic in Limbus Company that are found in a variety of game modes as well as in combat. These events will typically have a variety of choices that can be chosen from, but may instead offer no choice and simply require a Skill Check to be done.
Skill Checks will require the player to select a Sinner, after which the Sinner's Skill with the greatest chance of passing the check will flip its coins, and the final number will be compared against the Skill Check's target number. In the majority of cases, a higher number is needed to pass the check, although a few ask for the final number to be lower than the target number. Skill Checks have Sin affinity advantages, which lower the target number when the Sinner's Skill being used in the check is of that affinity. Additionally, some Skill Checks have advantages and disadvantages that respectively add or subtract a number to the final score of the Skill; these are based on the chosen Sinner, the Identity's faction, or the specific Identity itself.
Dungeon Events
In both the Mirror Dungeon and in Story Dungeons, there are Event Nodes throughout the map that will trigger a Check Event when selected. Choosing certain options will either immediately end the event or continue on into a Skill Check. Choosing the correct option or passing the check will typically result in getting an E.G.O Gift as a reward, but may also heal SP or HP for the Sinners. Failing a Skill Check typically results in either nothing happening or forcing the Sinners to lose SP or HP, but some events give a reward of an E.G.O Gift even upon failure.
In these Skill Checks, any living Sinners can be selected to perform the check.
Combat Events
During combat against certain enemies (such as Abnormalities, Distortions, and bosses), a Check Event will trigger during the battle under specific conditions. Some enemies require certain choices to be made when given the options, while others will continue into a Skill Check, or skip past the choice selection phase and immdiately require a Skill Check to be done. The conditions that trigger these events vary from enemy to enemy, such as reaching a certain turn number, lowering its HP to a certain threshold, or when the enemy intends to use a certain skill that turn. The results of these Combat Checks also vary depending on the enemy, and passing or failing the check can result in buffs and/or debuffs for the chosen Sinner, all Sinners, or the enemy.
In these Skill Checks, only the on field Sinners can be selected to perform the check. In some story boss encounters, only a specific Sinner can be chosen.
Sinner Selection Lines
When choosing a Sinner for a Skill Check, they will have a line that varies based on the probability of them passing the check. Unlike the lines for passing and failing a check, these lines are not dependent on the currently equipped Identity.

Normal Chance of Success

|---|---|---|
| Yi Sang | If you reckon that one will make it, perhaps one might make it. | |
| Faust | I can’t guarantee the results. It will be up to the chaos of the universe. | |

| Ryōshū | Seems manageable. | |
| Meursault | I will try. | |
| Hong Lu | Hmm, well. Alright. I’ll do it. | |
| Heathcliff | If you really don’t have anything better to suggest. | |

| Yi Sang | Would you acquiesce to an unsatisfactory outcome? | |
| Faust | If I were you, I would assign someone else to this task. | |
| Don Quixote | I shall devote all my heart to it! A hero is she who achieves the impossible! | |
| Ryōshū | Nothing I’d recommend, but I won’t say no to it. | |
| Meursault | There are better options. | |
| Hong Lu | I think… this is someone else’s job, wouldn’t you agree? | |
| Heathcliff | Get someone else. | |
| Ishmael | I’ll comply, but this honestly sounds like a terrible plan. | |
| Rodion | This might take a tiiiiny bit of luck to pull off. | |
| Sinclair | Does it have to be me? | |
| Outis | While the plan is sound, I fear that my capabilities might be insufficient for it. | |
| Gregor | Is that an order? If you’re just asking, then I suggest someone else. |
Very Low Chance of Success

| Yi Sang | I feel this will be an idle affair. | |
| Faust | This choice would make the decision to place you as our manager a regrettable one. | |
| Don Quixote | …Marching onward despite knowing that danger lies in wait—such is the hero's way! | |
| Ryōshū | Overcoming the impossible is where true beauty lies. | |
| Meursault | You must be mad. | |
| Hong Lu | Ah, I’ve just remembered that I had urgent business to take care of… | |
| Heathcliff | …Are you taking the piss? You want ME to do this? | |
| Ishmael | Are you serious? Several screws loose? I’m disappointed. Don’t talk to me. | |
| Rodion | Leave me out of this, m’kay? | |
| Sinclair | Me? Seriously? I’ll definitely fail. I’ll end up ruining it all. | |
| Outis | Who comes up with such a crap— Ah, it was a joke, was it not? | |
| Gregor | …So you were the kind of boss to get fragged by their own men. |
