Stendhal FAQ

Death Match

What is the Death Match?

Death Match or DM is a challenge for players above level 20. You must kill 10 creatures which spawn in the arena.

How do I get into Death Match?

Find the Recruiter Thonatus who walks around Ados Swamp

What is the Death Match reward?

A trophy helmet. The DEF increases by +1 with every DM you complete.

What's the formula for the maximum my helmet can be?

Floor (level/5) + 5. Floor means the nearest integer if you round down.

Why don't I get XP in DM?

You get a score instead, it can be viewed on the Hall of Fame at [1]

What happens if I die in DM?

It's like a normal death. You lose XP, atk XP, def XP and possibly items.

Can I bail?

Yes you lose less XP than you would if you die and you are teleported away.

Why do I go to semos plain north when I ask the recruiter to leave?

Why not

Why do I get teleported to some mountains if I log out in DM?

Because logging out to avoid death is cowardly

Why can't I use a scroll in DM?

Because you should either bail or die or complete the DM and ask to leave if you want to leave.

Why are there damaging spikes at the edge of the arena?

Playing in the centre is more fun, all the creatures want to be near you :)

Can my friends help me in DM?

Sure, they can join in the normal way, as long as they are also over level 20.

Why doesn't my victory always get accepted?

DM is still a bit buggy, it's a beta version. Here are some tips to maximise your chance of completeing it without coming across a bug:

Always wait at least 30 seconds after the 10th creature is killed before you claim victory, Thanatos needs time to check the arena.

Avoid doing DM when you have an active Mayor mission from Mayor Sakhs. It seems to confuse matters

Attempt to finish each DM within approximately 30 minutes. You may need help for this from another player.
