JUNE EVENT - RISE OF THE SERPENT

So, you've probably noticed earthquakes shaking the ground in Explore during the entire May event. An ancient Egyptian rebellious deity, the Serpent of Chaos, has been waking up and is now ready to emerge! Start your storyline, which is located on the EVENT page, and the earthquakes will stop. If you do not wish to start the storyline, the earthquakes will remain for you, as the Serpent will not rise.

Please keep in mind that the whole event is inspired by Egypt's ancient culture, and it's Lioden's take on the theme. We will not be diving into historical accuracy, and we will not be explaining the mythology. We'll just use it as inspiration and celebration.

Mechanics
There is no event bar this month. We're taking a new twist here, and we're focusing fully on the story itself, with you unlocking the progress based on specific dates and options. On the 1st, Chapter 1 is available to you. A few days later, Chapter 2 will let you progress further and enjoy daily quests. On the 20th, Chapter 3 and the story's finale will become available. It will not shut off daily quests.

You will be given the option to choose an ancient Egyptian God to align with - but don't worry, it's quite flexible! You will be able to change your alignment dozens of times as you please when Chapter 2 opens up, until Chapter 3, where your final choice will bind you to the story's reward and close the option to change your alignment.

Each Egyptian deity has their own shop in their temples, which will open to you with Chapter 2.
The shops share some of the same decors among them, but some have unique goodies tied to the temple you're located in. We're happy to give you so many options to change your alignment, so that you can switch the shop anytime as the shops are unlocked, just in case you end up liking another deity's decors much more. If you can't be bothered, trading with other players is a great solution!

Explore
At first, the new explore encounters may be difficult, as you're a lion battling against ancient demons. That's okay though - try using the good ol' Pound move to stun them! As you progress in Chapter 2, you will receive a BATTLE BUDDY! Just like in January when Laharu joined your side, your chosen god's animal form will join you in explore battles - but it will only join when the demons appear. They won't interfere with your normal, natural enemies. All deities will boost your fights with their unique skills and let you reap the rewards from defeating the Chthonic Snakes.

In this example, Seth adds 3 DMG to your 15 DMG, meaning you hit for 18 DMG total.

The Snakes will drop Khepri Beetles if your battle buddy is present. This new currency will allow you to buy things in the temple shops.
The Snakes also drop Chaos Scales, which can appear no matter if your battle buddy is present. You can craft them into Slithering Snake decors, and even the Apophis decor!

Storyline
The storyline is linear. This means there are no multiple endings; HOWEVER, there is a CHOICE. You can pick the god you align with. The benefits are as follows:
- Different Battle Buddy skills
- Access to unique shop decors
- Different lore and art experiences during the story
- The final storyline reward is an applicator aligned to the god you have chosen

Remember that the entire storyline can be found on our official Wiki, linked at the top of each page. You are free to use our Wiki to help with your decisions in this event!

The storyline also features a few animated scenes during "visions". If you're struggling with epilepsy or slow internet, you can turn off animated parts in the storyline's settings.

Rewards
The storyline's rewards are base applicators. They may not be obviously related in art to the proper god, but they have their reasons, along with their genetics.
2018 and 2019 reward applicators will be available in the aligned god's shop.

Seth will reward you with Chaos, a Red Medium Countershaded Special base.
* Chaos ripples through the universe, disturbing the mundane harmony, the cosmic order, and fires a spark of uniqueness and life to mundane reality. A simple word or action can twist the reality into something unexpected.

Bast will reward you with Maat, a Gold Light Countershaded Special base.
* With a throwback of colours to the original Bast base, this sparkling version reflects the light and serenity of Ma'at as the cycle of cosmic harmony shatters the violence of chaos.

Anubis will reward you with Duat, a Black Medium Solid Special base.
* The base has a deathly appearance of the souls of the Underworld, but the souls and their lifeforce sparkle in the darkness.

These applicators are called Relic of _____.
But, that's not all! They're also components of a special combo base. If you breed any of these bases together, you may get a Sphinx base! Just like years prior, the component bases are the current storyline reward applicators.
Just like Rose Gold, Sphinx is a recolour of Gilded base, and we're enjoying this triple set.

Sphinx Factors: Chaos x Duat, Chaos x Maat, and Duat x Maat all have the chance to produce the Sphinx combo base. These three bases can also produce the Sphinx combo base if they are bred to Sphinx. Sphinx bred to itself can also produce Sphinx.

...And that's still not all! Gilded x Rose Gold can also produce Sphinx, as well as Gilded x Sphinx and Rose Gold x Sphinx. Breeding together any of the three Egyptian combo bases (Gilded, Rose Gold, and Sphinx) can produce any of these Egyptian combo bases! This means that Gilded x Sphinx can produce Rose Gold, Rose Gold x Sphinx can produce Gilded, and so on.

Previous years' applicator bases will only produce their respective combo bases. Anubis, Bast, and Seth will only produce Gilded, and Alabaster, Sha, and Velvet will only produce Rose Gold.

Sphinx is a Cream Medium Solid Special combo base.

2020 Updates and Information
Aside from the storyline rewards, the following are new this year:
- 6 new Chthonic Snake enemies and their decor versions - craftable in the Monkey Business area
- 17 new decors in all three shops, both universal and exclusive!

Note: If any groupies happen to be generated with any of these bases (Chaos, Duat, Maat, Sphinx), it's purely accidental. We ask that you Modbox your groupie for a replacement of a groupie-exclusive base. We will be doing a sweep on June 1st to be extra sure, so please save us time and report it if it happens to you!

In Future Years
We will be interested in doing "side quests" for each temple with other gods that are allied with the "trio". These shops would feature decors dedicated to them as well; for example, Hathor would be allied with Bast, Nekhbet with Seth, Thoth with Anubis, and so on. The main storyline won't change, but you would be able to expand the experience beyond that. We're excited about this idea, but it's only an idea for now.

*Technical Note*
The bases will be updated for mutations within the following days.
