Grey Goo

Grey Goo is the Fall 2020 special challenge path, introduced on August 15, 2020. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "A self-replicating mass of grey goo has invaded the Kingdom from the furthest reaches of space. Destroy as much of it as you can in three days!"

Divergences

• Your adventure begins with Grey Sky Morning.

Restrictions

• Standard restrictions apply while Grey Goo is the current challenge path. These restrictions will be lifted on November 15, 2020.

Rewards

• Finishing a Grey Goo run that began while it was still the current special challenge path -- that is, between August 15th, 2020, and November 14th, 2020 -- rewarded players with 100 (in Hardcore) or 50 (in Normal) additional karma the next time they visited Valhalla.
• Finishing a Grey Goo run while it was the current challenge path gave players a inert grey goo ring.
