Raids

HTDevLib 0.5.0 Is a required dependency for this mod!

Overview

The Raids mod brings Terraria and Valheim-style raid encounters to Hytale! Place a Raid Totem anywhere in the world, activate it, and defend against raids from enemies that scale with your location and party size. Defeat all enemies to claim zone-specific loot chests filled with valuable resources!

How It Works

1. Craft a Raid Totem

Craft the Raid Totem block and place it anywhere in the world. The totem can face any direction and remembers its on/off state even after server restarts. It can be crafted at the arcane workbench.

2. Activate the Totem

Interact with the totem (F) to turn it on. When activated, it will automatically trigger a raid every 3 in-game days at 7pm (19:00) if you are within 100 blocks, if you are not - or are offline, it will reschedule.

3. Defend Your Base

Raids of enemies will spawn near the totem. The type and difficulty of enemies depends on which zone you're in!

4. Claim Your Rewards

Defeat all raid enemies to spawn a reward chest filled with loot. The chest type and rewards vary by zone.
