THE BEACH GAUNTLET!
The Elders have descended on Blood Beach to meet in secret in order to discuss new ways to punish and torment the Vampire Nation! This will not stand! Vampires of Carvina are compelled to rise up and meet this cadre of evil immortals on the sandy field of battle.



The 'Gauntlet' is a new style of dungeon with a new scoring mechanism. Endless waves of monsters will appear. You have 120 seconds to defeat all enemies in each wave and advance to the next wave. Earn 10 points for each enemy you defeat. Earn 1 bonus point for every second that remains on the clock after the wave is cleared.



Only your highest score is recorded on the event leaderboard! Check your Lair to see your Event Score and check the leaderboard to see how you stack up against the competition.
