Cube of Fate Deathmatch Arena

Location: Room 1 Cube of Fate
Level Requisite: None
Number of players allowed: 1-6 players per team
Item Requisite: Stake Stone

The Deathmatch Arena is an exciting new feature that allows players to put up wagers and battle each other for superiority, bragging rights, and of course, a nice chunk of coins. Players wager Stake stones during the fight, and whichever team wins gets all of the Stake stones used in that battle. Each Stake Stone can be sold to an NPC for 100,000 coins.

Here’s how to access the Deathmatch Arena:

Step 1: The Arena Hall
Enter the Cube of Fate and speak to the Arena Teleporter. He will teleport you to the Arena Hall where preparation for the Deathmatch takes place.

All parties who wish to participate in the Deathmatch will need to purchase a Stake stone from the Deathmatch Arena Boss. These Stake Stones are the entry fee to enter the Deathmatch itself. Each Stake stone will cost 105,000 coins.

With these Stake stones in hand, players will then need to speak to one of the Arena Registrar NPCs.

Step 2: Register
If you want to fight alongside your friends or against a specific group of players, all players involved must register at the same Arena Registrar NPC.

For example: If Xarfox, Kantorek, and FrankieRaye want to fight Ironman, Perill, and Shnuggles, they will all have to register with Arena Registrar 04. There are a total of 10 available Arena Registrars.

Step 3: Choosing a team
After all players sign up, the Arena Registrar will disappear and the Arena Preparer will appear with twelve chests (6 BLUE, 6 RED). Each player must speak to the Arena Preparer and choose which team they want to be on. After choosing the team, you will then be able to open one of the chests specific to your team and obtain a Blue/Red Arena Team Tag. This Tag identifies you as a member of your team.

Step 4: Entering the Battle
After all teams have been decided, the Arena Preparer will disappear and the Arena Doorkeeper will appear. Everyone then speaks to the Arena Doorkeeper to enter the Deathmatch Arena. Remember, it costs 1 Stake Stone each time you want to enter the Battle Arena.

Step 5: Fight!
Arena battles last for 5 minutes. During this time, it is RED team versus the BLUE team! The winning team is the team that had the most kills recorded during the Deathmatch. If you die, you can purchase another Stake Stone to re-enter the battle. When the battle timer has run out, the Exit Watcher will appear. Any remaining players can talk to the Exit Watcher to return to the Arena Hall.

Step 6: Victory!
To claim their rewards, the winning team must speak to the Blue/Red Prize NPC that will appear in place of your Registrar NPC. The first person from the winning team that speaks to the Prize NPC will receive all the Stake stones used in during the Deathmatch. That player is then in charge of distributing the stake stones amongst his or her team.

Take these Stake stones to any NPC that has a Trade option and he will purchase them from you for 100,000 coins each.

Some things to remember:

1 Stake Stone is required to enter the Fight.

If you die during the fight, you will be teleported back to the Arena Hall. There you can purchase another Stake Stone and speak to the same Doorkeeper as before to rejoin the fight. You can do this as many times as you like (time permitting).

EDIT: * Please note that when the Exit Watcher appears, the winning team (or all players if the match is a draw) will have 2 minutes to exit the arena and claim the prize from the Prize Giver. After 2 minutes, the Prize Giver will disappear and the Stake Stones will be lost.
You can also find all this information at the Deathmatch Arena Boss.
