map areas

Ocean Palace:

Preview

Located beneath an enormous statue in the depths of the ocean, you will find a majestic edifice filled with resources and treasure. A powerful trident rests in the center of the palace. Collect it before the countdown ends.

Aim for the ocean surface from the start of the match to reach the Ocean Palace as quickly as possible. Once in the water, you will quickly become submerged and can access the Ocean Palace.

The area is surrounded by a Waterpulse barrier, creating an air pocket in which you can move freely. The Kraken will destroy the Water Pulser after a while, which will flood the Ocean Palace. Escape as soon as possible using a portal or updrafts.

Crates are hidden around the Ocean Palaces. Dive in and explore to discover surprises.

Respawn Rules

After some time in the Oceanic Palace, you will receive protection from the Sea Heart as a special respawn. This protection will allow you to return to the game after being eliminated in the zone. You only have one respawn per match.

You will lose it if you leave the Ocean Palace area.

Ocean Palace crates can contain respawn cards. As long as the card is valid, it will allow you to reappear on the battlefield no matter where you were eliminated. After using a respawn card, your teammates can recall you via a recall tower.

Abandoned ruins:

They include two Ocean Temples within them. Find the switches to remove the water veils that hide the entrances.

The Ocean Treasure is located beneath the abandoned ruins. Illuminate all the pillars at the entrance to gain access and obtain the treasure there. Next, use the portal to teleport into the sky above the game area and choose a landing location.

The abandoned ruins are home to powerful currents and a mirage tower. The currents will carry you to the surface, while the mirage tower will allow you to move more easily.

In some parts of the area, a whale streaks across the sky. She leaves a ball of water where she lands. You can enter it to take the escape whale.

Aquatic prism:

You will find aquatic prisms surrounded by barriers all over the map. Approach them to break the barrier and obtain the crates they contain.
