Before the Battle

The resting area for the Battle for the Bonfire is the Sunset Valley. Inside the valley are merchants which you can buy items from, a Party Finder to help form a group of 10 players, and the Bonfire Keeper, who explains the rules of the game, as well as a stats board for you to see your Games Played, Games Won, Win Streak, Points Scored, Total Kills, Total Deaths, and your Total Runes.

You need to be in a party of 10 players before you can begin. Once you have, you will then be given a prompt to join the blue or red team. Each team can hold up to 5 players. Once all players have joined a team, a countdown will start and you will be given a Flaming Glaive, beginning the game.

Bonus Objective

The Bonus Objective can be found in the center of the arena, and it shows a task that can be completed in order to get a Boon. The progress of each team can be found here. The objectives can be:

• Kill players of the opposing team 30 times.
• Use 25 Runes.
• Use up 40 Weapon Charges.
• Kill players holding Chopped Fir Wood or the Bonfire Flame 10 times.

Wood Phase

The Wood Phase lasts 10 minutes and the goal is to get your bonfire 10 Chopped Fir Wood to get two Boons. To get Chopped Fir Wood, you must go to the other side of the arena into the enemy team's forest, located behind their bonfire. You will get 1 Chopped Fir Wood, and you then must return to your bonfire to give it the wood.

If you get killed with the wood, you will lose it and respawn in your side of the arena. While in the enemy team's forest, you are unable to be harmed or harm other people. You also cannot enter your forest, and if you attempt to do so, you will be bounced out of it. Once the Wood Phase has 5 minutes remaining, the amount of Chopped Fir Wood you get from running into the forest is increased to 2. Once a team gets 10 Chopped Fir Wood into their bonfire, they will be given a Boon. If no teams get 10 wood into their bonfire, then no one is given a Boon. After the Wood Phase ends, a countdown will start beginning the Fire Phase.

Fire Phase

The Fire Phase lasts 10 minutes and the goal is to get the enemy's flag down to 0 HP from 5. To do so, a player will need to get the Bonfire Flame located in the center of the arena at the highest level. After a player grabs the Bonfire Flame, they will be invulnerable for 1 second. For other players to know where the player carrying the flame is, they will have a different outline compared to the regular red and blue outlines, which are instead orange and teal respectively. A different banner will appear above their head as well instead of their team's banner, and a beacon will show their location to everyone in the arena.

If a player dies with the flame or if they set the enemy team's flag alight, dealing 1 HP of damage, the Bonfire Flame will return to the center. Once 5 minutes are left of this phase, setting a team's flag alight will now deal 2 HP of damage, and once a flag gets to 0 HP, the opposing team wins. After the game is completed you will receive
Sunlit Copper Coins, which can be exchanged for items from the merchants.
