Tips and Misc

Quick Start Guide

  1. Find the wizard Rushmore and his four fellow outlaws. Assassinate them before time runs out!
  2. Unlock gates to quickly navigate to your target and extend your time.
  3. Watch for the clues to find the outlaws as they move throughout the Mansion!

The Rules

Assassinate Your Target

  • The vile wizard Rushmore has retreated to a magical safe-house to relax with his no-good cohorts.
  • Infiltrate their Mansion and eliminate these outlaws before time runs out! ** Tip: You can earn extra treasure for killing red and orange named boss monsters!
  • Outlaws can teleport to different rooms of the Mansion.
  • Outlaws who have teleported to a new location may speak a clue that can help you determine where they have gone.

Gates

  • Each Gate you open will extend your time by 2 minutes.
  • To open a Gate, you must obtain the associated Crest(s).
  • The deeper you go into the mansion, the more Crests are required to open the next Gate.
    • First gate requires just 1, then 2 for the next two gates, then three, then four for the final gates
  • Crests can be found by:
    • Breaking furniture and containers
    • Killing monsters
    • You will also occasionally find Crests lying out in the open.

The Paintings

  • There are paintings scattered throughout the walls of the mansion.
  • If you get too close to a painting, its eyes will glow red and phantasmal guards will appear to fight you.
  • The painting will continue to spawn phantasmal guards indefinitely. And will spawn in greater numbers as your score increases.

Scoring

You will earn points for the following:

  • Monsters killed (1–3 per kill)
  • Outlaw Bosses killed (~600 per boss)

Player notes

  • The Bosses you must defeat will periodically move from their locations. When they do so, they will make an announcement so you know who is moving and where they are going.
  • Nearby bosses can be kited to The Rest Rooms to gain credit for the 5th star.
  • The phantom defenders from the paintings will continuously respawn once activated.
    • The amount of monsters spawned will vary from 1–6 depending on several factors including but not limited to: Group size and Current score.
  • The breakables will sometimes give a boost when smashed.
  • The Trap control panels are at the bottom of the ramps.

Challenge Duration

Variable:

  • Timer starts at 9 minutes and the timer increases for many events:
    • Checkpoint! Time extended by 2 minutes for opening gates.
    • Chrono Buff! Time extended by 1 minute for obtaining rare orb buffs.
    • Minute of time watch. These rare items can increase the timer by 1 minute, only 1 may be used per instance.
      • Expect a perfect 5/6 star run to take 42–45 minutes.

Loot

  • Ingredient reward: Illuminated Manuscripts – 19% of your total score
