Quest
New Quest. The Missing Piece.
This is a hybrid world quest. All crawlers who are dumb enough to still be stuck on the eighth floor have been added to this quest.
Every remaining crawler within the region of Cuba has been designated as host of this quest.
This quest contains two parts. Part one is called “The Big O.”
Only those in the Cuba region may participate in part one. If they are successful, part two will initiate and will include everyone else. In the meantime, this upcoming battle will air on all screens throughout the dungeon for those outside the Cuba region.
The demon Amayon, prince of Sheol, is stuck in this world, banished here by one of his three brothers.”
Ysalte, his former girlfriend and mother of his child, has also stepped into the realm, and she has seized control of the demon, just as he once seized her when she tried to flee their relationship.
He wants to go home.
She wants to keep him under her control and bring him with her to the Ascendency, where he will act as her retainer until the Ascendency battles are complete. While all the other gods have been waking up long-forgotten deities to assist them, the Vinegar Bitch knows having a prince of hell at her side will help ensure her claim to the throne.
She will return to the realm in ten minutes. If Amayon remains fully under her control when that timer is complete, they will both teleport away to the Ascendency.
If that happens, everyone without keys is dead. There will be no more chances.
In order to break free from Ysalte’s grip, Amayon must begin the casting of his spell to return home. In order to do that, he must be strong enough to cast it. How will he be given strength? Maybe you should ask him.
If he has broken free from her control by the time the timer runs out, then she will leave, and he will remain and will eventually travel home.
The stronger he is by the time the timer runs out, the bigger the spell will have to be. If he is at full power, that spell will cover the entire world, and everyone within it will have hope to make it to the next floor.
Oh, and one last thing.
This is the eighth floor after all. [1]
Quest Updates
First Update
Quest Update! The Missing Piece Part One!
Demon Lord Amayon is trapped! The very demon eviction event that allowed him to come to this realm is his undoing! Now that he’s taken his true form, he does not have enough power to cast his spell! And what’s worse, there aren’t enough souls left in this dying world to even trigger the spell anyway. Everyone and everything is mostly dead!
If only there was a way to replace the souls that had triggered the event in the first place.
The same type of souls. The same flavor of chowder, so to speak.
Refill the world with souls. Then power Amayon up before the timer runs dry.
Oh, and the demon may attempt to cast an alternative spell before you buff him up. You’ll either have to stop him or convince him to wait.
Match resumes in thirty seconds.[2]
Second Update
Quest Update. The Missing Piece. Part Two. “Falling Up.
The Vinegar Bitch is no more.
Her sponsor, by the way, is currently reading the fine print on his contract, and let me tell you, he’s pretty mad. Probably not as mad as he’s going to be in a few days, but hey, one step at a time.
Amayon is free, and he is going home to wage war upon his brother. Hopefully an all-out war in Sheol won’t spill outside the 15th floor.
Powered by the flash presence of billions of souls and buffed with the flames of home, Amayon has already cast his spell. Soon, the heavens will open, and Amayon will ascend into the portal.
Thanks to the sheer number of souls consumed just to power up the spell, the area of the casting has moved outward from the point of origin and encompassed the entire world.
In other words, yes. All you crawlers in Cuba pulled it off. Especially Carl who literally pulled off a guy named Raul to make this happen. And in case you don’t get the metaphor: Carl jerked off a crab.
The timer in your interface indicates when this will happen in your current region. The closer you are to the Cuba region, the less time you have to prepare. When that timer reaches zero, the heavens above you will open, and all living things and items and structures will be sucked upward into the portal. The world will be scoured clean.
In case you haven’t figured this part out yet, if you position yourself directly below an enclosed stairwell chamber with an inaccessible stairwell to the next floor, the walls of the containing chamber will teleport away the moment it hits the hell portal. This will allow you to strike the stairwell as you and the chamber are sucked upward into the sky. This will happen fast, and it won’t be clean. Some of you might not make it. But if you position yourself carefully, you’ll be fine. Probably.
That way, instead of dying on this floor, you can die on the next!
You’re welcome.[3]
