Sixth Floor

This article contains unmarked spoilers for Book 5.

System Message. Posting Book 8 spoilers will result in "acceleration" per our rules.

The Hunting Grounds is the Dungeon's Sixth Floor and the second "Volcano Storyline" floor. The floor is part of the Scolopendra levels, and is the first floor that allows outworlders to interact with crawlers as "Hunters". There are no protections of these tourists, where they can die for real from either Mobs or crawlers. ^[2]

It is about 400km going north to south and 300km going east to west. It has a river going through it that's around 500km long.

In the current season of Dungeon Crawler World: Earth the Borant Corporation allows for the third Sponsors to begin bidding on crawlers once the floor opens. ^[3]

Introductory Announcement

Hello, Crawlers!

Welcome to the sixth floor! We are so happy to have you here!

Like the third floor, this sixth floor is a Dungeon Crawler World tradition! It’s the hunting grounds! This floor is almost identical in layout and size to the third floor, but the abandoned ruins have been claimed by hundreds of years of foliage. What secrets and mysteries lay hidden in the jungle? You’ll have 17 days to find out! But this time, you won’t be alone.

We currently have 360 hunters on deck, and they’re raring to go. In a little less than 28 hours, they will be unleashed and will begin hunting you for your gear. Due to recent events, we are keeping registration open until the very last moment, and we expect that number of participants to double or even triple by the time they are released! But be warned! Some of these hunters have been here for weeks now, and even though they’re currently sequestered, their minions and traps are still out there and waiting for you. A few of you have already found this out the hard way!

Traditionally, all hunters start out at level 30 and are able to train themselves up as you make your way through the lower floors. It’s no secret that you’re here sooner than usual. In the spirit of fairness and as an incentive to gain more last-minute participants, we have given all hunters a bump of 20 levels, so they all start out at 50.

We’ll have more information about the hunt after the next recap message, but I wanted to thank you all for your participation. I know that last floor was tough, and we did lose a few more crawlers than we anticipated. We will all have to work together to make sure your incompetence doesn’t continue.

There are 2,344 exits leading to the seventh floor. There is at least one unguarded exit in the city of Zockau along with more in the valley beyond. In addition, some city boss and larger mobs will have an exit nearby. The rest are hidden, but should be easy to find. Your final sponsorship slots are now open to bidding. That’s all for now. Now get out there and kill, kill, kill!
