How To Play Mystery Island is a cross-server daily event that unlocks at player level 42. At 16:55 server time, the Mystery Island lobby opens up for all to join, but, the actual match doesn’t start till 17:00 at which time the “Pass the Mysterious Island” button becomes active. Once in the event you start off as a random 1 star hero with a random normal ability. The event is broken into two separate phases, Slaughterhouse and Apocalypse, both with their own timers (20 minutes for Slaughterhouse and 10 minutes for Apocalypse). The first I will talk about is the Slaughterhouse phase. During the Slaughterhouse phase players can attack npc enemies or player enemies and will respawn if killed. Each kill, player or npc, rewards you with EP (Evolution Points) and Diamonds with npcs also dropping chests. EP is used to evolve your hero into a higher star level hero while Diamonds are used to purchase Equipment and Abilities from Equipment Trader and Skill Master respectively. There are three boss monsters players can fight during this phase, but, they are pretty much impossible to kill without the aid of the red quality weapon designed to kill them. Once a player reaches 6 stars they evolve into the Apocalypse Lord and trigger the Apocalypse phase. If no player reaches 6 stars before Slaughterhouse's timer expires, a random player becomes Apocalypse Lord. During the Apocalypse phase combat npcs will stop spawning, the survival skills of all players become active (see abilities), and all players except the Apocalypse Lord will be referred to as survivors, losing their ability to attack each other and partially losing the ability to respawn, only being able to do so by paying a large sum of gold or with the aid of Energy Crystals which spawn a Resurrection Crystal for living players to click thus reviving the dead player who clicked the Energy Crystal. The Apocalypse Lord can click the Resurrection Crystal instead to destroy it and recover hp and as a result prevent the resurrection. There are three possible outcomes, the first is that at least one survivor survives till time runs out, this results in a survivors win. The second is for the survivors to team up and defeat the Apocalypse Lord which results in a win for survivors and extra Medals of Courage depending on how much damage they did to the lord. The final outcome is for the Apocalypse Lord to destroy every last survivor which results in a Apocalypse Lord win and rewards the Lord of Apocalypse player a large sum of Medals of Courage.   Remember to play honorably to keep the game fun for everyone. This means: Try to avoid killing sheep unless said sheep makes a habit of killing others who turn into sheep. Don’t camp players (stalking and killing repeatedly.) unless they're not playing honorably Try to avoid spawn killing if it can be helped. Try to avoid killing 1 star players later in the game. It’s hard enough for said players with the slow movement speed of 1 star heros and only being able to kill 1 star enemies. Add in multiple high star players killing them nonstop and they never get past 1 star. Try to avoid stealing another player's chests if the player in question does not do the same to others. Some players have a no attack policy. If you don’t attack them they usually won’t attack you. Attacking them even once, however, often results in disproportionate retribution as they’ll camp you relentlessly for the rest of the match   Star Level EP Requirements: 1 Stars: 0 2 Stars: 50 3 Stars: 100 4 Stars: 300 5 Stars: 450 6 Stars: 900   Enemy Kill Rewards: 1 Star (Bandit): 10 EP, 20 Diamonds 2 Stars (Archer): 15 EP, 30 Diamonds 3 Stars (Ancient Robot): 20 EP, 40 Diamonds 4 Stars (Lord's Maid): 25 EP, 50 Diamonds 5 Stars (Lord's Guard): 30 EP, 60 Diamonds Snow Queen: 10 EP, 500 Diamonds, Special Monster A Chest, Mail containing Gift of 1 million Dimes x2 Prince Xiaolong: 10 EP, 500 Diamonds, Special Monster B Chest, Mail containing 100 Coupons x1 Ghost General: 10 EP, 500 Diamonds, Special Monster C Chest, Mail containing 10 gold   1 star player: 20 EP (Killing any player gives you 5% of their diamonds) 2 star player: 30 EP 3 star player: 40 EP 4 star player: 50 EP 5 star player: 60 EP   EP Loss Per Death 1 star character: 10 EP 2 star character: 15 EP 3 star character: 20 EP 4 star character: 25 EP 5 star character: 30 EP   Achievements: First Blood: First person to kill another player (30 Diamond reward) Beginner's Diploma: ???

Thirst For Blood is an invaluable ability and an absolute must for Lords of Apocalypse if they wish to stay alive while killing off powerful players. Reflection and Last Strength are both very helpful for anyone wanting to challenge the Lord of Apocalypse.   2. During Mysterious Island, battles are calculated the second they begin and the battle you watch is merely the aftermath of that calculation. Apocalypse Lords will never see their battles because they need to be actively hunting down players.   3. “Change hero” swaps your hero with a random hero of the same star level, you have no control over which hero you change into.   4. All monsters except bosses drop the same chests. Some values, however, such as EP gain/loss seems to be based on the star level of the monster that dropped it. Boss monsters drop larger than usual chests labeled “Special Monster (A-C) Chest” that offer effects similar to those of normal chests but only to a stronger degree and only positive effects. For example, instead of a 10-50% heal / loss, a chest dropped by Snow Queen healed 99% (891 out of 900) of my max health. Instead of a 10-50 EP gain/loss they can give a 200 EP gain. The Elven Cloak I found was obtained from a chest dropped by Ghost General, but, I’m not sure if it’s unique to boss chests or if it can drop from any chest. The Elven Cloak can drop from normal chests as well.   5. Attack modifiers such as Mad Rage or Heavy Sword only take your base attack into consideration. If for example you have 100+50 attack and use either, you will end up with 100+130 attack instead of 100+170   6. Some heros such as Baron Hammer and Hermit are VIP exclusive. Non VIPs will never get them   7. Despite each boss having a different letter assigned to the chest they drop, I have not noticed any difference between the chest contents
