Late game
Past 30 minutes
Objective: survive Arceus Sentence, not defeat Arceus. Official notes describe Arceus as invincible; since 23 October it can receive reduced damage for a separate ranking. A random Plate assigns its type each run.
Source-derived boss intervals are 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 minutes; new rifts stop after minute 28. At minute 30 Arceus Sentence starts, with additional legendaries arriving every five seconds. These timings are source references, not a personal run log.
After the 23 October changes, successive Sentence legendaries gain 25% HP and 15% damage rather than doubling. Poison/burn damage against them is small and fixed. At minute 35 Arceus destroys all held items, including Focus Sash; do not plan on permanent item immunity.
The 25 October update closes escaping the arena to survive indefinitely. Movement, damage uptime and avoiding contact remain editorial priorities. A healing item may help before minute 35, but no specific 40-minute clear or invulnerability route is promised.
| Boss times | 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 minutes (wiki source reading) |
|---|---|
| Rifts close | No new rifts after 28 minutes |
| Arceus | Starts at 30 minutes, invincible, contact damage |
| Co-op bosses | Plus 30% HP per extra player, then times 1.4 |
