How Rakoof's modes escalate
Step
Rakoof starts as a straightforward target, but sustained damage pushes him into special modes.
- Nightmare Hour is the second most common mode and activates after significant damage to Rakoof.
- After Nightmare Hour activates, Rakoof charges for about 15 seconds before the text 'RUNNING WILL NOT HELP YOU ANYMORE' flashes on screen.
- In Hell's Awakening, a core appears on Rakoof's chest, spikes grow on his arms, and part of his face is covered by a rusted mask; he then screams and teleports everyone into a dark asylum.
- When Hell's Awakening ends by timer or full HP loss, a 15-second sequence begins in which Rakoof gains an additional 100,000 HP that must be depleted before his core explodes.
Hell's Awakening — what you are actually up against
Table
The stats below are fixed values for the mode. The additional HP at the end of the fight scales with the number of players in the server.
| Stat | Value | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Base HP | 666,666 | How much you must deal before the final countdown begins |
| Damage per hit | 3,000 | A single hit removes a large chunk of your health |
| Attack rate | 0.2 seconds | Rakoof can hit roughly five times per second |
| Damage per second | 15,000 | Standing still is not an option |
| Final-phase HP (1 player) | 100,000 | Must be cleared within 15 seconds or the core explodes |
| HP multiplier (up to 4 players) | ~1.5× per player | More teammates means far more HP to clear in the countdown |
| Core explosion bypass | Forcefields, shields, support defense items | Defensive items do not protect you when the core goes off |
| Reward on defeat | Tormentum Axe | The item you earn for clearing the full fight |

Common questions
FAQWhy did my points stop saving?
The game only stores up to 90,000 points. Once you reach that ceiling, any further points you earn are not saved.
Where does Hell's Awakening actually take place?
When the mode activates, Rakoof teleports everyone into a dark asylum. There are no hiding spots in this area, and Rakoof is constantly chasing you.
Can I use a forcefield or shield to survive the core explosion at the end of Hell's Awakening?
No. The core explosion specifically bypasses forcefields, support defense items, and shields. Your only way to avoid it is to deal the full 100,000 additional HP within the 15-second countdown before the explosion triggers.
Do I need to be in the game from the start of the Christmas 2025 event to get the badges?
For the INSIDE THE MAYHEM OF THE SPIRIT badge, yes — you must play from the beginning of the event run to reach the final battle.
