Challenge Areas
The children of science and ded


So in the spirit of helping everyone to keep track of everything, we're creating a summary of all the challenge areas and the features within- all in one place that's easily referable, and will be updated constantly with any new content or changes.

While we will always advocate for helping out your fellow player, we ask that players do not freely hand out armor or weapons from Shattered Sands+ (Excluding The Kiln) to players who have not done the content themselves up to that point, just as we suggest not to give vanilla end-tier gear to newer players. We do this in an effort to preserve the play experience for newer players who haven't had a chance to try the content for themselves. Excessive violations may result in science-managing staff action.

Release order and recommended order to attempt each area:
The Creeper Citadel/Combat Training -> The End/Dragon Priests -> The Lost Woods/Hunter's Lodge -> Wychwood -> Snowhead -> Shattered Sands -> Shoals of the Departed -> New Game+ Areas/Hardmode Dungeons

With the advent of the Certificate system, the following areas must be completed in the following order to access the next area in the list. Completing the area involves obtaining the Completion Certificate for that area, via obtaining the mask of the area's Boss and leaving the arena alive.
The Lost Woods -> Wychwood: Barrows/Nomad -> Snowhead: Temple of Ancients -> Shattered Sands: The Heart -> Shoals of the Departed: Divine Tempest

Key:
Map Link: A direct link on the map to the area's location
Overworld Directions: Step by step directions on how to get to the area via overworld, if possible.
Nether Directions: Step by step directions on how to get to the area via nether, if possible.
Armor Rating: A grading scale based on the armors recommended to complete each area:
-F Rank: Can be completed using no armor.
-E Rank: Can be completed using enchanted iron armor, or unenchanted diamond armor
-D Rank: Can be completed using enchanted diamond armor, enchanted netherite armor, or C Rank Hunters Lodge armors.
-C Rank: Can be completed using Ancient Knight armor or B Rank Hunters Lodge armors.
-B Rank: Can be completed using Barrow armors, Warpriest armor, Hero of the Woods armor, A Rank Hunters Lodge armors, or Event Rank Hunters Lodge armors..
-A Rank: Can be completed using Anima Core armors, or S Rank Hunters Lodge armors.
-S Rank: Can be completed using Anima Core armors, paired with Elder Artifacts/equal power weapons.
-? Rank: Can be completed using Anima Core armors, paired with Elder Artifacts and top-tier consumables; prepare for a fight!
Completion Requirements: Lists any prior completion certificates required for accessing an area
Noteworthy Prizes: The ultimate goal of visiting the area.
Special Notes: Any additional notes that should be mentioned.

The Creeper Citadel:
Map Link: Creeper Citadel
Overworld Directions: Within the spawn town, Central, there is a small quartz gazebo (dome) immediately on the left-hand side of the spawning platform, also seen centered here. Events Night, any TARDIS or Time Gate -> Creeper Citadel (Main Platform)
Nether Directions: North Nether Rail -> Lily Keep (3rd Stop) -> World Center
Armor Rating: F - E Rank
Completion Requirements: None
Noteworthy Prizes: Everything your heart desires within Moosemart, as well as the Combat Training Certificate armor set, best to start off new players.
Special Notes: Due to the divine protection of the Moose, Flight is possible within the airspace of the entire Citadel and surrounding islands!

Before getting into the combat-oriented areas, we'll be covering the central hub of the science on the server, the Creeper Citadel!
The citadel itself is a floating fortress positioned exactly at the center of the server, accessible via a warp platform next to spawn in Central, via the Nether out of the Lily Keep station, and from the main platform of the End of Time during events night.

The island will have many varied uses over the course of future events; but currently, it serves the below primary functions:
-Quick-access NPC vendors and a 'save' point directly at the entrance, making for easy access to potions, food, or material trade-ins
-The Cavern of Science, a massive cave within the island itself that serves as a catalog of all available "science" items (Unique items not usually obtainable in normal play) found across the server, as well as where to obtain them among these new areas.
--Index of The Cavern Here.
-The Post Office, a universal meeting place where you can create a mailbox and leave other players mail! Or Items!
-The Science Workshop, the basement of the Post Office, a gathering area for any science items that need repairing or updating!
-Combat Training, located within the trunk of the large tree on the second Citadel platform. This is an area that allows a beginner-type tutorial on the basic Minecraft mobs, letting you fight weakened versions to acclimatize yourself to the game's combat. Complete all the courses and assemble a decent set of armor and tools!
-Moosemart, a collection of all unique NPC traders on the server, as well as Moosemart's own unique vendors offering various wares for emeralds- it's highly advisable that everyone visit the mart at least once, as it's an incredible resource for fighters and builders alike!
--Index of Moosemart Here.
-Cannon Platform, a special cannon accessible during Events Night that has a shortcut to all the science areas!
-Frank's Hut, a small hut on an equally small floating island that leads to Death's Office.
--Death's Office, manned by Frank while Death is away. All Horsemen Point trades are available here! Click here for a guide on Horsemen Points.
-Horseman Island, an island shared by all 5 of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, used for the hosting and collection of their individual quests.
-The Guild Council Hall, where the Guild Grand Masters meet and offer trades to those who complete each level of a respective Guild!

Full release news post for full details: Here

The natural 'End' game of minecraft. Remember folks, keep inventory is never on in here!

We have two variants of End worlds available:
A static End in Rodinia that is never reset, and has an outer-end rail network maintained by Raegal, for those looking for their own adventure.
Laurasia's end is slightly more.. sciencey. The world itself is reset frequently, all except for the middle island- Because of this, the map for this End has been disabled.
The middle island itself is home to the usual mine-able obsidian towers and end portal, but also to many other towers, to make the outer-end easily accessible and to assist in fighting the Ender Dragon.
In addition, a massive Arena adorns the center to further aid in the dragon fight. Or, to those who are able, the 'Dragon Priest' challenge, which allows you to fight 8 skeletal priests with elemental attacks. These foes increase in power as you progress further through the Horsemen Areas, and drop shards that can be collected and traded for a multitude of prizes!
The End is, as always, available via any End portals around the worlds!

-Laurasia Dragon Priests:
Armor Rating: A-? Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands, Shoals of the Departed
Noteworthy Prizes: Elder Dragon Wings
Special Notes: New Game+ Area, see 5.5th Horsemen Release post.

Hidden throughout Laurasia are four elite Dragon Priests, 3 within the oldest of Strongholds, and one whose tomb is concealed entirely by a pyramid of Aztec design. Obtain all 4 masks, and summon their master; a Dragon beyond ancient. Be warned, this will be unlike any normal dragon fight- and there's never the safety net of KeepInventory to rely on here!

The Lost Woods:
Map Link: Lost Woods
Overworld Directions: Grand Central Station (Top floor), South Rail -> Town of Halfway (First Stop) -> Halloween Town, follow the road North through the city and graveyard, there's a gap in the fence approximately Here that begins the woods. Events Night, any TARDIS or Time Gate -> Challenge Areas -> Lost Woods.
Nether Directions: South Nether Rail -> Eden Bay (First Stop) -> Lemuria Hub (2nd Floor) -> Halloween Town (2nd Floor), follow the road North through the city and graveyard, there's a gap in the fence approximately Here that begins the woods
Armor Rating: D - C Rank
Completion Requirements: None
Noteworthy Prizes: A plethora of custom drops, the Lost Woods has the most loot out of any area- bring a shulker or two. The main reward, however, is the Master Sword and Ancient Knight Armor. Find three gems at the ends of the Fire, Forest, and Water temples, and bring them to the massive Deku Tree to claim your prize.. and slay some evil.
Special Notes: While the woods itself are mostly easy going, the dungeons and boss fights may be safest if left to Events Night. As a tip, follow the grass-path roads through the woods to visit all the 'main' areas.

Full release news post for full details: Here
Accessible via a gap in the fence behind the graveyard of Halloween Town on the Lemuria continent, the Lost Woods is a massive, overgrown forest covering what was an ancient kingdom, now overrun with all sorts of strange creatures. Many artifacts of the old kingdom are available to those who brave the trees, and if you're worthy, the sword of evil's bane itself.
Artfulness aside, this is a fully functional custom Zelda map, complete with dungeons, loot, boss fights, and even the Master Sword. Be prepared for a long haul if you plan on attempting this, as it will not be a short journey. Beyond the main path of the woods, all sorts of hidden treasures wait in the trees....
The woods vary in difficulty depending on the area, with bosses and dungeons naturally being more challenging than just running around the forest. The loot obtainable is more than enough to sustain a person, making this challenge great for old and new players alike!

-Hardmode Shrines:
Armor Rating: A Rank
Noteworthy Prizes: Hero of the Woods armor
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods
Special Notes: New Game+ Area, see 5.5th Horsemen Release post.

Spread throughout the Lost Woods are four odd, red-sandstone structures; The Forest Shrine, the Dark Shrine, the Phantom Shrine, and the Drowned Shrine. These are advanced challenges aimed at veteran players who have gone through the areas to follow, and are re-visiting the woods for an extra challenge. Be warned, you'll be hard pressed to survive early on!

These unique mobs have chances to drop parts of themselves, which can be collected and used with the vendors within the lodge to trade for various armors and weapons, the quality of which increasing with the rarity of mobs the parts originate from. These parts can also be traded in for various goods and materials using Hunters Marks!

Track your progress in clearing the waves using the button in the lodge, and collect rewards on a completed wave!

As you progress through other Science areas, you can also unlock stronger variants to the armor and weapons you can craft initially!

In addition to the difficulty-level hunts, a Raid Boss is always available, which cycles out for a new boss at the beginning of each month- Take a group into the fight or try it yourself! Special Event items can be obtained from the drops of each raid boss, but be warned, you will need quite a few!

The Lodge is available 24/7 via the Lemuria Nether Hub, Lemuria's Grand Central Station in the overworld, or on Events Night via the EoT.

Full release news post for full details: Here
The first area released in a series of events focused on our very own Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
This area focuses on Wychwood, the massive mega taiga surrounding the Castle of Famine- also accessible via said castle.

The forest itself is also filled with odds and ends other than the trees, so feel free to explore!

Noteworthy Prizes: Frost weapons, Norse Cataphract armor.

Fair Warning
While the other areas are of middling or mixed difficulty, this and all other related Horsemen areas are only for those who are confident in their abilities- which is to say, this is end game content. It will be difficult. Everything will want to kill you. Come prepared, have fun!

Additionally, with rarer drops, you can assemble what's called a Godsword, powerful weapons attributed again to the 4 gods involved with this play. There's a fair few other bits of equipment up for collection, and all can be found documented within the Cavern of Science. Also lurking in the depths of the temple, you may find a hidden challenge...

Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands
Noteworthy Prizes: Mirror of Twilight

Nether Directions: West Nether Rail -> Salad Facts (2nd Stop) -> Castle of War.
Armor Rating: B Rank
Completion Requirements: None
Noteworthy Prizes: Horsemen Quests, Horsemen-Area Armor/Weapon
Special Notes: The Fight Kiln is accessible by choosing the 'Surface' warp out of the main castle island, and running directly across the desert. On that same note, so is the entrance for the Heart dungeon!

Full release news post for full details: Here
The third area released in our series of events based on the Horsemen, this one focused on the arid desert sands of War, Shattered Sands.
War's Permanent Horseman quests are also available inside his castle, near the Nether Portal! Click here for a guide on Horsemen Points.

The surface of the desert is teaming with endless husks, as well as War's own personal soldier, the Golden Army. Beneath the sands lies all manner of challenges, including the mine called 'The Heart', and the 'Fight Kiln', among other things! Take a look for some powerful gear! More details under the new post!

-The Heart
Armor Rating: B Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead
Noteworthy Prizes: Anima Core armor sets, Anima-forged god weapons.

The Heart is a massive underground dungeon directly beneath the central isle of War's castle. Four facions of gods can be found down here, fighting for the supernatural resource known as 'Anima', that can only be found here. Brave the generals and the guardian of the tree, and obtain for yourself some of the best armors around!

-The Fight Kiln
Armor Rating: C - S Rank
Completion Requirements: None (Emerald City, Gold Rush, Gemocide, and Apocalyptic require up to Shattered Sands and Shoals of the Departed)
Noteworthy Prizes: Golden Dragon Claws, Golden Warpriest Armor, Golden Shears, etc

This area lets you fight against, and collect rewards from, endless waves of TokHaar golems, which can be used to trade for various prizes- most of the unbreakable tools variety! The difficulty is toggle-able, going from Easy mode with the lowest drop-rates, to Hard mode with the best drop-rates pre-end game, to Apocalyptic for those who have conquered all of what science has to offer. Easy can... easily be done with diamond or comparable armor, and Normal can usually be handled if one has been through Wychwood or Snowhead. However, Hard usually requires one to have beaten the dungeon of War, the Heart. Apocalyptic is recommended to wait until one has conquered the final Horseman area, as well as the newgame+ areas before attempting.

-Dominion Tower
Armor Rating: S Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands, Shoals of the Departed
Noteworthy Prizes: See 'Dominion Tower Merchant' on floor 3, Bay 329 of Moosemart.
Special Notes: New Game+ Area, see 5th Horsemen Release post.

Not-so hidden on the Shattered Sands, stands the half-buried Dominion Tower; a curious place that lets you fight nightmares from the past, present, and future, in a back-to-back brawl to the death. Get to the end for some lucrative prizes!

Fair Warning
While the other areas are of middling or mixed difficulty, this and all other related Horsemen areas are only for those who are confident in their abilities- which is to say, this is end game content. It will be difficult. Everything will want to kill you. Come prepared, have fun!

The fourth area released in our series of events based on the Horsemen, this area focuses on the black depths of Death, the Shoals of the Departed (aka Departed Shoals). A massive area of ocean has been warped and distorted by the presence of the Horseman's castle, causing all sorts of unnatural horrors to populate the depths. Shipwrecks litter the seafloor, containing Ruins Keys that match a corresponding ocean ruin somewhere else within the area. Match key to ruin, and reap the rewards. There's plenty of.. other things to do beneath the waves, as well.

Death's Permanent Horseman quests are also available inside his castle, near the Nether Portal! Click here for a guide on Horsemen Points.

-Divine Tempest
Armor Rating: A-S Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands
Noteworthy Prizes: Higher Artifacts, Elder Artifacts

The main attraction is the massive storm swirling in the center of the ocean, the Divine Tempest.

Once among the clouds, you'll have your choice of gods to fight!

Armor Rating: S-? Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands, Shoals of the Departed
Noteworthy Prizes: Elder Artifact - The Mirror
Special Notes: New Game+ Area, see 5th Horsemen Release post. Extra Warning - This chain of events ends with the hardest fight of all science bosses. Prepare diligently.

Scattered under the waves of the Shoals of the Departed, four tests of the mind and body wait for those who think themselves ready to face off against the Elder Gods, the primordial forces of the universe. Defeat all 5 challenges, and then seek the sleepy city beneath the waves...

-Realm of Darkness
Armor Rating: ? Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands, Shoals of the Departed, Elder Artifact - The Mirror
Noteworthy Prizes: Dark Realm Armor, Dark Realm Keyblade, Light Realm Keyblade

While a separate dimension on it's own, the only way to enter the dark realm is within the abyssal hole at the center of the sunken ruins of R'lyeh. The Realm of Darkness is the origin of all Heartless across Laurasia; while they may not be much of a threat under the sun, all forms of Heartless are stronger here. Navigate these dark passageways and find the end to be able to obtain some interesting loot!

Fair Warning
While the other areas are of middling or mixed difficulty, this and all other related Horsemen areas are only for those who are confident in their abilities- which is to say, this is end game content. It will be difficult. Everything will want to kill you. Come prepared, have fun!

Horsemen Release 5 - New Game+ Areas
Full release news post for full details: Here
This release differs from the previous 4, in that it was not one specific area released- but 4 new areas released across the four existing Horsemen areas.

Horsemen Release 5.5 - Science Updates and Rebalancing
Full release news post for full details: Here
This release was a very odd one, grouped together just due to the sheer amount of things that all happened at once. While no actual Horsemen areas were released here, updated and changes did happen across all of the Challenge Areas collectively. Many of the mobs, items, and equipment have been either cleaned up, rebalanced, or both.

If you've done or received any items from the Challenge Areas pre 1.14, it's worth a visit to the Changelog to see if you need to have any items switched out/updated; which can be found Here.

Along with that, a few new areas popped up:

-Laurasia Dragon Priests:
Armor Rating: A-? Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands, Shoals of the Departed
Noteworthy Prizes: Elder Dragon Wings
Special Notes: New Game+ Area, see 5.5th Horsemen Release post.

Hidden throughout Laurasia are four elite Dragon Priests, 3 within the oldest of Strongholds, and one whose tomb is concealed entirely by a pyramid of Aztec design. Obtain all 4 masks, and summon their master; a Dragon beyond ancient. Be warned, this will be unlike any normal dragon fight- and there's never the safety net of KeepInventory to rely on here!

-Hardmode Shrines:
Armor Rating: A Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods
Noteworthy Prizes: Hero of the Woods armor
Special Notes: New Game+ Area, see 5.5th Horsemen Release post.

Spread throughout the Lost Woods are four odd, red-sandstone structures; The Forest Shrine, the Dark Shrine, the Phantom Shrine, and the Drowned Shrine. These are advanced challenges aimed at veteran players who have gone through the areas to follow, and are re-visiting the woods for an extra challenge. Be warned, you'll be hard pressed to survive early on!

-Pandora
Map Link: Pandora
Overworld Directions: Currently, only the Cannon shortcut platform from the Creeper Citadel.
Nether Directions: South Nether Rail -> DeNile (2nd Stop) -> Pandora (3rd Floor)
Armor Rating: E - D Rank
Completion Requirements: None
Noteworthy Prizes: FLOWERS.
Special Notes: There's some giant Mushrooms hidden in caves around here!

A massive, "regenerating" Flower Forest! Massive 'Hydra Flowers' can be found across the forest, that spawn a hoard of Sporelings that drop all sorts of flowers. Butcher your way through hoards of colorful fun, and you can even cash in your winnings for emeralds back at the rest house!

-Camirus
Map Link: Camirus
Overworld Directions: Currently, only the Cannon shortcut platform from the Creeper Citadel.
Nether Directions: East Nether Rail -> Doctrailia (1st Stop) -> Camirus (4th Floor)
Armor Rating: D Rank
Completion Requirements: None
Noteworthy Prizes: Crossbows, Emeralds, Totems of Undying.
Special Notes: Hit it solo or bring a group!

One of the pretty new 1.14 villages, setup to allow for unlimited Raids to be spawned and fought! Want to experience one in a controlled environment, or just want a place to get rid of Bad Omen? Come visit!

-Realm of Darkness
Armor Rating: ? Rank
Completion Requirements: Lost Woods, Wychwood, Snowhead, Shattered Sands, Shoals of the Departed, Elder Artifact - The Mirror
Noteworthy Prizes: Dark Realm Armor, Dark Realm Keyblade, Light Realm Keyblade
Special Notes: New Game+ Area, see 5.5th Horsemen Release post

While a separate dimension on it's own, the only way to enter the dark realm is within the abyssal hole at the center of the sunken ruins of R'lyeh. The Realm of Darkness is the origin of all Heartless across Laurasia; while they may not be much of a threat under the sun, all forms of Heartless are stronger here.

Horsemen Release 5.8 - Another Rebalancing, Isle of Insanity, and Science Isles
Full release news post for full details: Here, Here, and Here
Another big cluster of things all happening at once! The vanilla introduction of Netherite Armor/Tools/Weapons caused need for another rebalance of the Science Items, full list of which can be found Here.
Not long after, two new Horsemen(?) areas went live as well; Isle of Insanity, and the Science Isles!

Noteworthy Prizes: Horsemen Quests, Horsemen-Area Armor/Weapon, Netherite Dragon Claw upgrades
Special Notes: Find Frank's Forge Hut for some upgrades!

The dwelling place of the enigmatic 5th of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the island is, for lack of a better term... odd? Currently Frank's minions are the only things crawling the grounds, but multiple half-buried structures leave hints to what is to come...

Horsemen Release 5.8.2 - Science Isles

Overworld Directions: accessible via boating Southeast from central.
Nether Directions: West Nether Rail -> Nether Station Plymouth (4th Stop) -> Isle of Insanity

The Science Isles are an odd archipelago of islands belonging to multiple different areas; Outset Island of the Lost Woods, Anachronia of Wychwood, a third yet unannounced island, and it's own Sky Pillar. While the islands develop on their own, keep an eye out for some interesting additions beneath the waves...
