This week marks the introduction of the adrenaline-fueled challenge called The Gauntlet in the Seasonal Realm. Players will be able to access this challenge upon reaching World Tier IV and traveling to the southwestern port in Gea Kul. The Gauntlet is a non-linear dungeon that changes weekly and is designed to test mastery, cunning, and skill by killing monsters and opening chests within an 8-minute time limit.

The Gauntlet concludes each week on Tuesday at 8 a.m. PST, with a new challenge emerging at 10:15 a.m. PST. Players are encouraged to aim for their personal best each week to earn Seals, which signify their prowess in the Gauntlet. These Seals include the esteemed Seal of the Blooded and the prestigious Seal of the Worthy.

Participants can earn Proofs of Might by successfully navigating the Gauntlet, with the chance to respawn upon death at the cost of losing a portion of their score. The ultimate goal is to earn Seals and climb the Ladder Leaderboard, showcasing your skills across different classes and party sizes.

As players progress and achieve higher scores, they can earn Caches of Trials upon the weekly reset of the Gauntlet. The highest-ranking players who earn the Seal of the Worthy will receive the most coveted rewards, including items with level 925 power.

The Leaderboards for the Gauntlet are separated by various categories, including Class, Party size, Normal, Hardcore, Friends, and Clan. Players can compete against their friends and allies to see who can rise to the top of the rankings and secure a coveted spot in the Top 100 or even the Top 10.

While the Gauntlet contest launches on March 5, players can expect further details about the competition and upcoming updates. Those who excel in the Gauntlet challenge can earn special rewards, such as the Conqueror's Crest Mount Trophy for a spot in the Top 100 and a place in the permanent Hall of the Ancients for the Top 10 performers.

Prepare to test your mettle and conquer the Gauntlet to prove your worth among fellow adventurers when it goes live this week.
