THROWBACK TO FIGHTING

Looking for something to do so you can ignore the outside world? You'll have until March 8 to fight the following challengers we've brought back for this limited time. As many of these challengers are very OLD and haven't seen the light of day in years, they never had their loot updated to today's standards.

The following challengers are back and can be found under the 'Throwback' tab: Ping, Mini Gelatin, Two-Headed Dysfunctional Teddy Bear, Rain Sylph, King Chelon, Bloodred Golem, Mortaurus, Panzer Hydra, Pylot Attacks!, Cozcoatl, Bonesaw, Vintage Prodigy, Crawbeast, and Gelatin Stomper!

I'm writing up guides for the challengers if they can help anyone: Topic: A Guide to Throwback Challengers 2026

I started from the most difficult and am working down, since those are usually the ones people need the most help with.

@gemajgall Freezing also helps a lot against the Stomper. Cold Blast Scrolls are ideal (made from scroll pieces from defeating Mama Mush and Daemon 75 times), but Shriek of Despair works just fine. I would equip as many as you can fit to try and keep him frozen for as long as possible. Other than that, I used multiple Parched Baguette Crystal and Blessing of Natural Armor Crystal on my weapons to help prevent him from freezing or stealing from me.

I wish we could get some of these challengers as pets. I wish we could get god and goddess pets based on folklore

Got all the way to the Stomper, yay--I don't have patience for that stealing even though according to the forums I'm running a good set and a have a high enough stat pet.
Brioche
Giving me a reason to fire up the old computer today! 😁

Really loving the artwork for Cozcoatl.

@PrincessJudith Jess has a post here that shows the loot for each challenger. I have a short list of Panzer Hydra, Pylot, Rain Sylph and King Chelon give stat boosters beyond 10 wins.
PrincessJudith
How do you know what loot is dropped after 10 battles? Who should be battle more than 10 times???
Julie
Nice distraction.

@stars_water No problem! If you have any other pets with training, they’ll count toward the achievement too. Spreading it out among multiple pets is slightly easier than getting all of those wins with just one. Best of luck!
stars_water
@Jess Oh, it does! I reread it a few times and missed it every time. Thanks!
Jess
@stars_water The news post says they’ll be here until March 8th (30 days total) :)

I have managed 600 wins in one day, but it's only gonna get more tedious and strenuous on my arms from here.
stars_water
For how long is "a limited time"? I've discovered I sincerely need to beat the snot out of Mini Gelatin, for that beautiful Gelatin Slayer sword! But 2,500 times is a lot of battles in a few days hah.
Robin
WOWZA ;__;
Alexy
You have defeated Gelatin Stomper 5 times! Yay! :'3
Latitude
I will not be doing that but I am enthusiastic about the ability to do so
LovelyPenguin
Dang, wish the combat was fun. System still is in desperate need of an overhaul.
pia
yay! giving me a good excuse to continue to stay inside (on the 17th consecutive day of 0 sunlight hours while i live 💔) and smack some pixels around, including finally getting my 10 wins on the 5-headed panzer hydra. just sad i can't quite beat Cozcoatl yet as (as everyone else has already said) that artwork is just stunning~
SYLVAN
Gonna quote others in saying that the Cozcoatl is the most beautiful creature onsite. I wish we had an island pet color so that our pets could have a similar aesthetic. :o <3
Bokuto
