Cage Fight Extreme — The Butcher's Masquerade Finale
Overview
The 4-way boss battle cage fight that ended Floor 6. Triggered when the high elf castle was teleported to Floor 9, dropping all attendees (crawlers, hunters, elves, and the deity Diwata) into midair above the castle's vacated basement. The dungeon AI announced it with AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" as boss music.
Floor
6 — The Hunting Grounds
Chapter
74–75
The Four Corners
| Corner | Participants | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| One | Crawlers + pets | Starting at rank #1 Donut, ending with Carl at #3 |
| Two | ~75 remaining hunters | Most eliminated quickly on impact with the ground |
| Three | Queen Imogen + elite black-clad elves | Level 145 Country Boss |
| Four | Diwata / Circe Took + mantis nymphs | Level 250 Immortal |
Environment
The brambles had fully enveloped the world and formed a dome over the battlefield, sealing everyone inside. Flower buds on the brambles provided a sickly yellow strobe effect timed to the music. Visibility was extremely low from smoke bombs, poison clouds, and the chaos of thousands of mantis nymphs.
Sequence of Events
- Castle teleports — All non-castle entities frozen in midair, then dropped into the basement when the castle departed
- Mantis nymphs swarm from Diwata, filling the air
- Hunters fall like rocks; most die on impact
- Donut casts mass heal as groups regroup
- Carl uses Protective Shell to clear a safe zone
- Team Four eliminated: Donut cast Laundry Day at level 15 (boosted by Pawna's Tears potion), stripping Diwata's divine soul armor from Circe Took. Diwata returned to the Halls of Ascendency. Circe Took was killed by her own children.
- Team Two eliminated: Last hunter Zabit went invisible; Carl cast Tripper, detonating Zabit's own freshly-set landmines.
- Team Three eliminated: Coordinated crawler assault with non-magical projectiles timed to the music beat. Prepotente delivered the finishing blow.
Crawler Deaths
| Crawler | Cause |
|---|---|
| Gwendolyn Duet | Killed by Imogen's lightning attack |
| Dmitri and Maxim Popov | Killed by magically-flung flaming sambhur (antlers) |
| Cleiton | Died near Gwen; specifics not described |
| Tran | Survived but lost both legs |
Key Moments
- Donut's Love Vampire skill worked at elevated charisma, charming multiple high elves to fight for her briefly before they were killed by Imogen's area attack
- Bianca (Prepotente's demonic goat-dragon mount) flew through the chaos like a "shark passing through the deep ocean," cutting through mantis nymphs
- Katia gave Carl her beanie (with "I Need My Personal Space" spell) to clear a path to Diwata
- Carl was near-killed by an arrow and mantis attacks; the Popovs stood over him to protect him while he recovered
Outcome
- Winner: Team One (Crawlers)
- Quest Complete: The Vengeance of the Daughter (Signet's quest fulfilled)
- Floor 6 ends; crawlers proceed to Floor 7
