The developers of Tales of Elleria, a blockchain RPG on Arbitrum One, has teamed up with the folks behind the pixelated 2D RPG, DeFi Kingdoms, to host a special World Boss event with a prize pool worth $35k+.

Event Details

Starting on December 18th at 11 AM EST, this event features the legendary blowfish from DeFi Kingdoms, the Bloater, diving deep into the waters of Elleria for players to try and take down.

In order to attempt fighting this leviathan, you will need to have a hero character as well as a World Boss Ticket. You can get your first soulbound Ethereal Hero for free by using the summoning altar in the game. After your first summon, the next time you try to get an Ethereal Hero will require paying a summoning fee using $MAGIC. You’ll be given a random hero that belongs to one of 4 genesis classes: Warrior, Ranger, Mage, or Assassin. If you’d like to purchase a tradable NFT hero instead, then you can do so from Treasure’s Trove Marketplace.

After you’ve got yourself a hero, the next step is to acquire an entry ticket. To get the World Boss Entry Ticket, you have 3 options: craft it using item drops from quests; obtain it using the in-game Adventurer’s Guild Shop, or buy it from the Trove Marketplace.

With a hero and a ticket, you’re set to engage in the turn-based boss fight, where you’ll try to deal as much damage as you can before getting defeated. You can send as many heroes as you want, so long as you have enough entry tickets, and by doing so you will be able to increase the total amount of damage that you’ve done to the Bloater, thus helping you rank higher on the leaderboard.

Prizes

Players who rank in the top 1000 on the leaderboard will get to earn a share of the 25k $ARB reward pool, with the top-ranked player getting 1000 tokens. This cross-chain collaboration also brings 250k $CRYSTAL in vouchers from DeFi Kingdoms to the top 900 players. With these tokens, you can buy NFTs from DeFi Kingdoms using their Crystal Marketplace on Avalanche if you want to play their game which rewards $JEWEL tokens.

Whenever you use an entry ticket to take part in the event, you are awarded a Bloater Trophy, an NFT that makes you qualified for a 40 $ARB raffle, with a total of 200 $ARB set to be given out to 5 players.

If you’re a DFK Hero holder, you’ll be getting a special set of rewards waiting for you in the Elleria in-game mailbox that include 1 soulbound World Boss Ticket, 50k $MEDALS, 3 Timeless Memories (300 Hero EXP), and a complete Rookie Equipment Set. This lets you kickstart your journey in Tales of Elleria if you’re new to the game while also giving you a chance at taking part in the event. A snapshot for all DFK heroes will take place between December 15th and 17th, 4 AM UTC, meaning all who own DFK heroes before the snapshot happens will be eligible for these exclusive prizes.
