Illuvium: Deathmach - New Feature: "THE CRYPT"
- Date PublishedJun 16, 2026


The Deathmatch realm is expanding.
This update introduces The CRYPT, a new hub where players can spend Bones on powerful utilities, boosters, and even bring fallen challengers back into the fight. We're also sharing a preview of our next major milestone: Daily and Weekly Quests, a new progression system designed to reward regular participation and long-term engagement.
Let's dive in.
THE CRYPT
The CRYPT is where you can exchange your Bones for a variety of valuable utilities and enhancements. The following actions are available:
Bones Pack Opening
Open a Bones Pack for 100 BONES and receive a selection of rewards.
Revival Boosters
Increase the Revival Chance of a specific lineup by 10% in exchange for an additional entry fee paid in Bones.
Examples:
- STANDARD lineup: +10% Revival Chance for 10 BONES
- ADVANCED lineup: +10% Revival Chance for 50 BONES
Power Boosters
Increase a challenger’s Power by up to +10%.
- Power-boosted challengers cannot exceed 90 Power.
- Power values above 90 can only be achieved through natural progression and cannot be obtained via boosters.
- The Bone cost of a Power Boost depends on the challenger’s current Power level.
The cost distribution is shown in the table below:
CHALLENGER BOOSTER COSTS | ||
|---|---|---|
POWER | BONES / % | MAX BONE COST (+10 POWER CAP) |
10-19 | 1 | 10 |
20-29 | 2 | 20 |
30-39 | 3 | 30 |
40-49 | 4 | 40 |
50-59 | 5 | 50 |
60-69 | 10 | 100 |
70-79 | 20 | 200 |
80-90 | 40 | 400 |
Jackpot Boosters
Increase your chances of winning the Jackpot for a specific lineup by applying a 2x or 3x Jackpot Multiplier.
- 2x Jackpot Chance: Costs 10% of the lineup's entry fee, paid in Bones.
- 3x Jackpot Chance: Costs 25% of the lineup's entry fee, paid in Bones.
These boosters apply only to the selected lineup and enhance your odds of securing the Jackpot reward.
Challenger Resurrection
Bring a fallen challenger back into the fight for 300 BONES.
- Each challenger can only be resurrected once.
- Resurrected challengers return to Deathmatch and can compete again on your behalf.
Important: Upon the release of this feature, players will have a 24-hour grace period to resurrect eligible challengers and transfer any unwanted challengers back to Illuvidex.
After this 24-hour window expires:
- Resurrected challengers can no longer be removed from Deathmatch.
- They will become permanently bound to the Deathmatch Realm.
- Transfers back to Illuvidex will no longer be possible.
QUESTS:
After The CRYPT features, our next objective is to introduce Daily and Weekly Quests.
Quests will vary in difficulty and offer different rewards based on their challenge level. Players can have up to 3 Daily Quests and 3 Weekly Quests active at any given time.
- Daily Quests: Every day at 00:00 UTC, one new Daily Quest will be added to your quest pool for each available slot, up to the maximum of 3 active Daily Quests.
- Weekly Quests: Every Monday at 00:00 UTC, one new Weekly Quest will be added for each available slot in your Weekly Quest pool, up to the maximum of 3 active Weekly Quests.
Players may reroll one quest of each type per day (one Daily Quest and one Weekly Quest). Once a quest has been rerolled, no additional rerolls of that type will be available until the next daily reset.0
