## Dungeons World Boss Schedule and Rewards: how it works

The World Boss is The Hollow King, a giant Warden that the whole server fights together. Every hit counts as 1 point, so attack speed and procs matter more than sword damage.

**How to open it:** Type `/boss` to see its status, `/boss join` to enter the fight, and `/boss leave` to step out.

The boss spawns 8 times a day, every 3 hours on the hour in UTC.

- **Countdown**: A 10 minute countdown is announced, and you can join during the countdown or the fight.
- **Fight length**: Fights are tuned to last about 5 minutes, with a 10 minute limit.
- **Shields**: The boss shields itself at 60% and 30% and summons Hollow Guards you must kill first.
- **Rallies**: At 75%, 50% and 25% health, rallies make your hits worth double.
- **Abilities**: It can knock you up, curse your hits or silence everyone for 4 seconds.
- **Contribution tiers**: Your tier compares your hits to the average fighter, from Participant at 0.25x up to Gold at 2.0x, with MVP for the top 3.
- **Booster**: Everyone who hits the boss gets +100% Damage and +100% Sword XP for 20 minutes.

**Tips**

- You need 10 hits over 10 seconds to be ranked, so start swinging right away.
- Leaving with `/boss leave` keeps your hits counted.
- Your Auto Fighter stops in the arena on its own, so be ready to swing yourself.

Example: If the average fighter lands 100 hits, you need 50 for Bronze, 100 for Silver and 200 for Gold.

## World bosses

The World Boss, The Hollow King, is a giant Warden that spawns every 3 hours. A 10 minute countdown is announced, then anyone can /boss join during the countdown or the fight. Fights are tuned to last about 5 minutes, with a 10 minute limit.
Every hit counts as one point, so attack speed and procs matter more than sword damage. The boss shields itself at 60% and 30% and summons Hollow Guards you must kill first, rallies give double hit value at 75%, 50% and 25%, and its abilities can knock you up, curse your hits or silence everyone for 4 seconds.

- Rewards scale with your tier: loot drops, tribe trophies, Money worth a number of your own rebirths, minutes of your Souls and Essence income, and Prestige Points from Prestige 1.
- Everyone who hits the boss gets +100% Damage and +100% Sword XP for 20 minutes.
- If the boss escapes, rewards are halved.
- Leaving with /boss leave keeps your hits counted.
