This year marks the 5th anniversary of the launch of the Guildhalls! Together we have achieved so much and there were plans for great celebrations this year, but a crisis has occurred and we need your help. You may not be aware of this, but the Guilds long predate the Guildhalls themselves. Much of our history has been lost to us, and there is much we don’t understand. Behind the scenes the Guilds are run by a powerful computer. Usually it handles the routine stuff — goals, rewards, promotions — but in recent months it has been issuing dire warnings about “The Eternal Balance”, “Seal Integrity” and “the End of the World”. Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to discover what this means.

This is where we need you. Beneath Laurasia Guildhall lie the Catacombs, an ancient part of the Guilds predating the Guildhall itself. It’s overrun by monsters, and I do not have the strength to delve far into them myself, but I believe the answers we seek must be down there somewhere. Will you help us? Great rewards await the successful, and maybe you’ll save the world.

The Guild Catacombs are a brand new game mode available now! The permanent entrance is located inside Laurasia Guildhall, but until the end of this month you can also access it via the Kenorland entrance.

The Catacombs is a roguelite system separate from the main survival worlds. You will be in adventure mode and have a separate inventory. Choose one of the available paths and gradually descend to the tenth floor! On your way you'll find a variety of monsters and other challenges to overcome, as well as uncover the mystery behind the Guilds.

Beware though, because you only begin with three lives! If you run out of lives then your run will be reset. Only items secured in your Storage Room are carried over between runs.

For each separate path that you win in the Catacombs each month, you will earn a unique reward! Completing the same path twice in the same month will not produce additional rewards. Rewards will be distributed when the Guilds are reset each month, and can then be collected from the rewards station at Laurasia Guildhall.

Tips and Tricks

• Press 'G' at any time to check your progress or reset your run.
• Going down stairs will progress you to the next floor, where things will get harder but you'll find better loot.
• Going up stairs will return you to a previous floor, useful if you find yourself overwhelmed.
• Store useful items for future runs in the Storage Room to make future runs easier. Unlock extra slots in the Storage Room using Amethyst Shards.
• Buy the Pot Smasher from the General Supplies vendor so you don't miss out on the extra treasure.
• Each path comes with different perks and vendor supplies. If you're struggling with one path, consider trying a different one!.

Crafting System

• All weapons and armor can be smelted in the Furnace - even things like Diamond or Leather!
• Use the smelted gear to craft yourself new equipment at the Crafting Table. Check the Recipe Book to see what you can craft.
• You can unlock the Recipes for Copper, Gold, Chainmail, Iron, Diamond and Netherite weapons and armor using the green books purchased from the General Supplies vendor. Once unlocked, they'll be available even in future runs.
• Purchase Enchanted Books from vendors to improve your gear even further using the Anvil!
