Doom Gauntlet |
Overview
The Doom Gauntlet is a sequential boss dungeon located in Dungeon Doom on the Malas facet. Six powerful bosses guard its chambers, and defeating them earns you points toward rare Doom Artifacts. The gauntlet uses a progressive points-based reward system — the more bosses you kill without receiving an artifact, the higher your chance becomes on the next kill.
The Bosses
The following bosses are part of the Doom Gauntlet:
| Boss |
|---|
| Abysmal Horror |
| Darknight Creeper |
| Flesh Renderer |
| Impaler |
| Shadow Knight |
| Demon Knight |
How the Points System Works
Each time you kill a Doom boss, you earn points. Your accumulated points increase your chance of receiving a Doom artifact on each subsequent kill. When an artifact drops, your points reset to zero and you begin building toward the next one.
Earning Points
Points are awarded to the player who lands the killing blow on a Doom boss:
Points = ( Boss Fame × (1 + √Luck ÷ 100) ) ÷ 2
Your Luck directly increases the points earned per kill. Higher-fame bosses also award more points.
Important: In Doom, only the player who lands the killing blow receives points. This is different from the Tamer's Gauntlet, which distributes points to all qualifying participants based on damage dealt.
Points Per Boss Kill
| Boss Fame | 0 Luck | 500 Luck | 1,000 Luck | 2,000 Luck | 4,000 Luck |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | 5,000 | 6,118 | 6,581 | 7,236 | 8,162 |
| 15,000 | 7,500 | 9,177 | 9,871 | 10,854 | 12,243 |
| 18,000 | 9,000 | 11,012 | 11,846 | 13,024 | 14,692 |
| 22,000 | 11,000 | 13,459 | 14,478 | 15,919 | 17,957 |
| 25,000 | 12,500 | 15,295 | 16,452 | 18,090 | 20,405 |
Artifact Drop Chance
Your artifact chance increases exponentially as points accumulate:
Chance = 0.000863 × 10(0.00000426 × Points)
This creates a pity timer effect — the longer you go without an artifact, the higher your chance becomes on the next kill, eventually reaching 100%.
| Accumulated Points | Artifact Chance | ~Boss Kills (18k Fame, 0 Luck) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0.09% | 0 |
| 50,000 | 0.14% | ~6 |
| 100,000 | 0.23% | ~11 |
| 200,000 | 0.61% | ~22 |
| 300,000 | 1.63% | ~33 |
| 400,000 | 4.35% | ~44 |
| 500,000 | 11.58% | ~56 |
| 600,000 | 30.86% | ~67 |
| 720,000 | 100% | ~80 |
At 720,000 accumulated points, an artifact drop is guaranteed. In practice, most drops occur well before this threshold due to the exponential curve.
Average Kills Per Artifact
Since points reset on each artifact drop, the practical average number of boss kills between artifacts depends on the boss's Fame and your Luck:
| Boss Fame | Your Luck | Avg. Kills Per Artifact |
|---|---|---|
| 18,000 | 0 | ~46 |
| 18,000 | 500 | ~40 |
| 18,000 | 1,000 | ~37 |
| 18,000 | 2,000 | ~35 |
| 22,000 | 0 | ~40 |
| 22,000 | 1,000 | ~32 |
How Luck Helps
Luck benefits you in two ways in the Doom Gauntlet:
- More points per kill — Luck increases the point formula via √Luck, meaning every kill moves you closer to the guaranteed threshold faster.
- Standard loot on the boss — The boss's regular loot table also benefits from your Luck (reroll chance and bonus properties), just like any other creature. See Luck System for details.
Tip: Unlike the standard loot system where Luck soft-caps around 4,000, the Doom point system uses √Luck directly in its formula. Luck continues to provide meaningful benefit here well beyond the standard cap.
Points Persist
Your accumulated points carry over between sessions. If you don't get an artifact on one run, your next kill has a higher chance. Log off and come back tomorrow — your points are still there. Points only reset when an artifact actually drops.

Doom vs. Tamer's Gauntlet
Both dungeons use the same point accumulation and artifact chance formulas. The key differences:
| Feature | Doom Gauntlet | Tamer's Gauntlet |
|---|---|---|
| Who earns points | Killing blow only | All qualifying damagers |
| Point scaling | 100% to killer | Scaled by damage % |
| Guaranteed drops | None | 20 PetPSCredits per kill |
| Bonus consumable | None | 40% chance per kill |
| Artifact formula | Same | Same |
| Points reset on drop | Yes | Yes |
| Luck affects points | Yes (√Luck) | Yes (√Luck) |
| Must be alive | Yes | Yes |
