From June 11 through July 7, players had the chance to test their skill, knowledge, and endurance on the Hardcore Seasonal World — a special seasonal challenge focused on clearing the game’s toughest content as fast as possible. With the Gorgon Raid at the center of the event, the community pushed themselves to new limits, chasing leaderboard glory and in-game rewards.

At the heart of Hardcore Mode was a competitive leaderboard tracking the fastest players across several key categories. The event highlighted not only speed, but precision — with separate recognition for players who avoided death entirely while achieving top clear times.

Congratulations to the top players:

Fastest completion of all Seasonal Journey challenges, including deaths: Charlietea (17 hours or 1025 minutes)

Fastest Gorgon Raid completion (with and without deaths): RedQueen3 (181 minutes)

First to max level: Curiosin

Fastest to max level with no deaths: Captain Shug (42 minutes)

Fastest to max level including deaths: dabaobei (35 minutes)
