The Kataclysmic Confrontation is an Event.

Overview

Someone or something has summoned a horde of cursed Black Kats into the Clockworks. These shadowy beasts hunger for arcane power and raided the Moorcroft Manor Archives' precious collection of magical grimoires. In the wrong hands these ancient tomes could be catastrophic, but it turns out that Black Kats can't read, so they instead decided to just eat them. The residents of Moorcroft Manor would like you to retrieve the Ancient Pages of the magical grimoires that quite likely reside in the stomachs of Black Kats. We'll leave you to figure out just how to recover them... - Forum Post.

Gameplay

Arcade

While no special scenario-like rooms show up in the arcade for this event, any Spookat type monster in any clockworks level where Spookats can be encountered (arcade or mission) has a small chance of being replaced by a Black Kat. These kats drop Ancient Pages. Rarely, they have a chance of dropping a Book of Dark Rituals.

Prestige

This event features three Prestige Missions: "That Mold and Black Magic," "Bad Luck and Brimstone," and "Purr Terror," which are only available during this event. These three missions are in a rotation with each other, so only one of these three missions will be available once per day (vs. all three every day during the event). Each mission has 3 floors, all with this similar goal: locate and destroy a Black Kat nest, recovering as many Ancient Pages as you can. These rooms are identified by papers strewn all over the floor and a few partially eaten books. The player should be ready for a fight when stepping onto the party button.

Rewards and Prizes

Equipment

Players can exchange their Ancient Page tokens with Montague in Moorcroft Manor for Kat Tribe Fetishes and various Kat gear. Players can then use these items to craft various kat-related gear at the Mysterious Alchemy Machine.

Prize Boxes

There are a few prize boxes associated with this event, though some are not available during the event itself. These are not exchanged for tokens, but bought for energy or with real-world currency:

Notes

The Black Kats that appear in the final fight of the Prestige missions don't drop Ancient Pages.

The Vile Deadnaught and Choking Bombie monsters can only be encountered during this event.

Ancient Page tokens do not expire.

History

This event has happened several times. Below is a calendar for each occurrence of this event. Note that not all related content is available for every event - for example, the Katastrophe Prize Box was not available during the 4th event, even though it was introduced in a previous event. Sometimes Katastrophe-related things occur outside of event time frames, as seen with the Kat Suit from the Katastrophe Returns Prize Box. All things that are created at the Mysterious Alchemy Machine or bought from Montague are always available, as long as the Player has the required components in their inventory.
