Themed Mode: Ocean Odyssey



Map Areas

● Ocean Palace:

✧ Overview

➢ Situated underwater beneath a huge statue, the Ocean Palace is filled with supplies and treasures. A powerful trident awaits at the center of the palace. Retrieve it after the countdown ends.

➢ Parachute directly to the ocean surface at the start of a match to get to the Ocean Palace as quickly as possible. You'll quickly submerge upon entering the water, allowing you to reach the Ocean Palace.

➢ The Sea Suppressor's barrier surrounds the area, creating an air pocket within which players can move around freely. The Kraken will destroy the Sea Suppressor after some time to flood the Ocean Palace. Evacuate as soon as possible using a Portal or upflow currents when this happens.

➢ There are lost crates hidden in the waters around the Ocean Palace. Dive in and explore to find surprises.

✧ Respawn Rules

➢ Gain the protection of the Heart of the Sea a certain period of time after entering the Ocean Palace in the form of a special respawn. You will quickly respawn after getting eliminated in the area. You only get one special respawn per match.

➢ You will lose the special respawn if you leave the Ocean Palace area.

➢ Ocean Palace Crates may contain Respawn Cards. As long as the card is still valid when used, it will return you to the battleground regardless of where you were eliminated. You can still be recalled by your teammates via the Recall Tower after you've used a Respawn Card.

● Forsaken Ruins:

✧ There are two Ocean Temples situated within the Forsaken Ruins. Enter them by finding switches to remove the water veils sealing their entryways.

✧ Located beneath the Forsaken Ruins is the Sea Treasury. Light all the pillars at its entrance to open it and obtain the treasure inside. After doing so, enter the Portal to be teleported up into the sky within the Playzone, from where you can jump to any location.

✧ There are blasting currents and a Mirage Tower on the ground of the Forsaken Ruins. The blasting currents will carry you upwards, and the Mirage Tower helps you get around the area more easily.

✧ A whale will leap through the sky in certain parts of the area. It will leave a water orb behind when it lands. Enter it to ride the Whale Escape Pod.

● Water Prism:

✧ Water Prisms are found all over the map and are surrounded by a barrier. Approach it to break the barrier and enter it to open the crate inside.

Themed Items

● Trident: A special melee weapon sealed within the Ocean Palace that becomes available after a certain period of time. Obtain the Trident by going to the location marked on the mini-map.

✧ Wielding the Trident grants the following:

➢ A unique swimming animation.

➢ The ability to transform into a Waterspout that sucks in nearby players. Players that come into contact with a Waterspout are sent flying.

➢ A faster underwater swimming speed.

● Water Orb Grenade: A new throwable that can be picked up. Has the following effects:

✧ When thrown, it will form a huge water orb at the point of impact. Players caught in the blast are engulfed, and must swim to the edge to escape.

✧ Enemies inside the water orb have reduced speed, while you and your teammates can dash inside it.

● Water Orb Blaster: A new themed item. Shoot a water orb that lasts a while anywhere. You can pull yourself into it to move quickly. Afterwards, you can transfer to another water orb to move in quick succession.

● Whale Escape Pod: A new themed relocation item. Has the following abilities:

✧ It can bring up to 1 entire team to the Playzone.

✧ Release a water orb first, then enter the water orb to summon the whale. It will carry all players within the water orb.

✧ You can switch routes or disembark at any time while being taken to the Playzone.

● Celestial Sea Treasure: Replaces some air drops. The special Celestial Sea Treasure air drop crate descends from a water column and contains loads of supplies.

Themed Vehicle

● Gleaming Stingray: Two-seater vehicle with the following abilities:

✧ It can travel through the new underwater areas and fly in midair. Passengers can fire from it while in flight, but not when it is underwater.

✧ It can be stored from afar as a Stingray Core, which can be used from the quick item menu to summon the stingray. Players can mount it directly when in the water.
