Get ready for Magikrab’s Gauntlet, where you’ll hop aboard one of the Mer-line’s interdimensional trains and face off against old friends, foes, and bosses from your previous adventures. This thrilling challenge is unlocked after completing the main story—it’s the perfect test for those who believe they’ve truly mastered their adventures in New Wirral! The gauntlet can be tackled alongside a friend in online co-op – so grab your buddy and brace yourselves; this journey is going to be a wild ride!
Enough yapping, let’s explore the specifics of what’s in store when you board the Midnight Train!
The gauntlet train is a randomized series of challenging battle encounters, that increase in difficulty as you progress. Think you’ve mastered beast battle? Think again – these are tough battles that are sure to make even the most seasoned adventurer break a sweat! The train also includes:
- Occasional carriages that contain chests instead of battles.
- A rest carriage that heals you and saves your progress. You can also spend some of your winnings at Magikrab’s café here!
- Boss carriages that will test your mettle – including Archangel fights that you are still able to challenge with a buddy!
The longer your winning streak, the more Fused Material you’ll rack up. But be warned, the Gauntlet is a double-edged sword — the longer you go, the greater your reward, but you also risk losing it all if you fail a battle along the way. Tap out and claim your reward or push it one more encounter, the choice is yours.
You’ll be facing off against many familiar faces as you go (whether as a friend or foe), but all of them have had significant upgrades to their tapes and stickers. Some of the encounters are only present in your gauntlet if you’ve met certain conditions. We’ll let you discover how this affects your run while you play!
This update also introduces the Sticker Fusion feature, newly added to the Harbourtown Town Hall. Sticker Fusion allows players with stickers that have rare and uncommon attributes to transfer those attributes onto other stickers, provided that the attributes are compatible. This gives you the chance to revamp your move stickers like never before using Fused Materials. Be sure to stockpile those Fused Materials, they’re a precious commodity!
