Information

What is "Boss Rush"?

Boss rush allows you to fight all the Unknown Arena Bosses consequtively in a random order without having to travel around and fulfilling the entry requirements. It also resets the bosses which gives a more seamless experience as you can run the gauntlet back-to-back without having to worry about doing 7-day 'Area resets'. Even if you are defeated you can easily re-do the gauntlet as the defeat scenario will put you in Berg, allowing you to quickly stock-up by running to the Player House.

Warning: Do not drop items inside the boss room unless you are willing to lose them. If you get defeated and the items are on the floor, then you can pick them up again, but you have to go through the Unknown Arena entrance the vanilla-way, not through the Boss Rush.

How do you access "Boss Rush"?

To find the entrance to the "Boss Rush" you will head to the back entrance to Berg in Enmerkar Forest which connects it to Ancestral's Resting Place. See the map below:

There you will find a magical tree.

Sacrificing a Relic, also known as an unknown arena craftable, will grant you access to the "Boss Rush" and teleport you to the bosses by inhaling the resulting fumes.

This puts you straight into combat, so buff up before-hand.

Defeating a boss allows you to exit the regular way, but instead of landing you in the world of Aurai you will be teleported to the next boss. The order is random so you have to be well prepared as well as being adaptable. Good luck!

What happens when you finish all the bosses?

You get teleported back to Enmerkar Forest beside the gate that leads to Berg.

Config Options

The config option you have available is to display the progress and deploying the tent inside of the unknown arena.

Patch Notes:

  • 1.2.0 Small additions: (1) Config option to unlock vanilla unknown arenas without requiring to do the mini-quests. (2) Unknown Arenas gives recipes scrolls of the craftable boss equipment. (3) Fixed a bug where all defeats would send the player to Berg.
  • 1.1.0 Adjustment: (1) Allow the player to deploy a tent inside the Unknown Arena, (2) getting defeated teleports the player to Berg for quick restocking.
  • 1.0.0 Main Release: (1) The progress bar is now displayed (if activated in the config) on finishing the boss and not only on entry. (2) Entering the boss rush resets all the relevant boss arenas. (3) Fixed a bug where the final boss in the rotation was skipped.
  • 0.3.0 Initial Release

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
