For the quest, see Run the Gauntlet.

The Gauntlet is a series of challenge rooms in Core City.

Description

The gauntlet is an increasingly popular event in which three contestants called runners compete in overcoming multiple challenging and dangerous rooms. Its growing popularity is largely due to JKK making sure it's being broadcasted throughout the whole Underrail.

The gauntlet building itself was built very recently, less than one year ago. The oligarchy needed something fresh and exciting to supplement the Arena and keep the bloodthirsty masses satisfied. Coretech devised a huge and complex elevator system which transports the runners to randomly chosen rooms, with each room containing a different challenge. Some rooms have deadly creatures, others have traps, some have both or even puzzles. The elevator system ensures neither the runners nor the viewers know which room comes next.

Once a gauntlet event starts, each runner attempts to go through all those rooms and get to the end before other runners do. Also, they can't use their own gear; each runner is assigned a color-coded gauntlet jumpsuit and a selection of equipment provided by the gauntlet organizers at the start of the event. They may use what they find during their runs, though. The more time a runner spends in one room, the more difficult next ones will be. But in some rooms runners can find keys which allow them to unlock shortcut routes during the final stretch of the gauntlet. The winner is the first one to reach the end and pull a lever which electrifies the floors of other runners' routes, killing them if they didn't already perish in earlier challenge rooms.

-== Walkthrough ==
+The gauntlet building itself was built very recently, less than one year ago. The oligarchy needed something fresh and exciting to supplement the [[Arena]] and keep the bloodthirsty masses satisfied. [[Coretech]] devised a huge and complex elevator system which transports the runners to randomly chosen rooms, with each room containing a different challenge. Some rooms have deadly creatures, others have traps, some have both or even puzzles. The elevator system ensures neither the runners nor the viewers know which room comes next.
-The Gauntlet consists of 8 levels and a final challenge. Many details are randomized to keep the Gauntlet interesting for multiple playthroughs. You will have to go through randomly chosen 4 of them plus the final challenge. Each challenge usually has a randomly placed key in it. Collecting those keys from the random challenges makes the final challenge easier and faster to finish, but your contestants may get ahead of you if you spend too much time looking for the keys.
-Furthermore, you cannot use your own equipment during the Gauntlet. A variety of equipment is provided before the challenge starts and you can freely choose from them. You cannot bring back any loot from the Gauntlet.
+Once a gauntlet event starts, each runner attempts to go through all those rooms and get to the end before other runners do. Also, they can't use their own gear; each runner is assigned a color-coded gauntlet jumpsuit and a selection of equipment provided by the gauntlet organizers at the start of the event. They may use what they find during their runs, though. The more time a runner spends in one room, the more difficult next ones will be. But in some rooms runners can find keys which allow them to unlock shortcut routes during the final stretch of the gauntlet. The winner is the first one to reach the end and pull a lever which electrifies the floors of other runners' routes, killing them if they didn't already perish in earlier challenge rooms.

+* The [[Praetorian Enforcer]] and [[Praetorian Bomber]] each carry a [[Praetorian Security Insignia]] oddity, 3 XP
-Rathounds. Three normal and three alpha rathounds in the first room, one ancient rathound and two alphas in the second room. If you can hack the electronically locked door (100 hacking), you to skip all of them instead of getting the [[Rathound Room Key Card]] from one of the rathounds.
+* [[Andrea]] takes applications for the Gauntlet, but you will only be accepted if you're on the [[Run the Gauntlet]] quest
+* The gate to the storage area requires 80 [[Lockpicking]]
-Elevator to the next challenge is in northeast corner. The footlocker in the second rathound room has a Gauntlet Key of random color.

-=== Challenge 2: Amazement ===
-[[File:cc_g2.png|left|100px|Gauntlet challenge 2]]
-This level is a timesink. A huge maze consisting of small rooms with slow roll-up doors between them. Some of the corridors have bear traps, but that's about it.
-The elevator to the next challenge is in the middle of this level. Each corner of the level has a shelf with some random loot and one of them has a Gauntlet Key of random color.
-{{clear}}
-=== Challenge 3: Rocky Horror ===
-<!--[[File:cc_g3.png|left|200px|Gauntlet challenge 3]]-->
-The idea here is blasting your way through the rocks the 10 [[TNT Charge]]s you find in the locker at the start. The area is filled with [[burrower]]s and their fast-moving [[spawn]].
-Elevator to the next challenge is in northeast corner. One of the containers has a Gauntlet Key of random color.
-{{clear}}
-=== Challenge 4: Electric Funeral ===
-<!--[[File:cc_g4.png|left|200px|Gauntlet challenge 4]]-->
-Another pretty straightforward level, no enemies this time. If the electric floor hits you, it's instant death. High traps skill and movement speed is helpful here. Conversely, encumberance can be fatal. The fastest route is: right, left, forward, forward, wait. Then after electricity has passed: left, right, left.
-The elevator to the next challenge is in the northeast corner. One of the containers has a Gauntlet Key of random color.

-=== Challenge 5: Drainage ===
-<!--[[File:cc_g5.png|left|200px|Gauntlet challenge 5]]-->
-This level is pretty straightforward, there are some siphoners and traps in here. Characters with high Detection and Stealth have easy time just waltzing through this area.
-Elevator to the next challenge is in northeast corner. One of the containers has a Gauntlet Key of random color.
-{{clear}}
-=== Challenge 6: Psichological Warfare ===
-<!--[[File:cc_g6.png|left|200px|Gauntlet challenge 6]]-->
-This one is a smallish maze filled with [[Azuridae]]. More of them respawn within the maze room. Characters with high Stealth have easy time just waltzing through this area.
-The elevator to the next challenge is in the northeast corner. One of the lockers has a Gauntlet Key of random color.
-{{clear}}
-=== Challenge 7: Web browsing ===
-<!--[[File:cc_g7.png|left|200px|Gauntlet challenge 7]]-->
-A maze full of patrolling [[Coil Spider]]s and their electric web traps.
-The elevator to the next challenge is in the northeast corner. One of the containers in the maze has a Gauntlet Key of random color.
-{{clear}}
-=== Challenge 8: Brains or Brawn? ===
-<!--[[File:cc_g8.png|left|200px|Gauntlet challenge 8]]-->
-This level has a puzzle with chemicals and boxes. It can be skipped, but then you'll have to fight some tough robots instead.
-==== Brains ====
-The puzzle's goal is placing correct chemicals in correct boxes and then pulling the level to lit up 4 green lights. Each correct chemical in a correct box lits up a green light, while each correct chemical in a wrong box lits up a yellow light. The correct chemicals are randomized each time the challenge is entered, so there is no static solution.
-To figure out which chemicals are the correct ones, take all of the chemicals from the locker and the boxes. You should have 4 of each chemical. Place a chemical of same type in each box and pull the lever. If one green light lights up, you have a correct chemical. If no green light, you can discard those chemicals. Repeat until you known which 4 chemicals are correct. Then, place a chemical of each 4 in one of the boxes. Swap them around until you find out which chemical goes to which box.
-For completing the puzzle, you will get Gauntlet Key of random color.
-==== Brawn ====
-Should you choose to fight the robots, there are a couple of [[Kamikaze Bot]]s, 2 [[Sentry Bot]]s and [[Plasma Sentry]]. One of them has [[Gauntlet Robot Room Key Card]] which unlocks the door leading to the elevator. The door can also be hacked (100 hacking).
-{{clear}}
-=== Final challenge ===
-<!--[[File:cc_gfin.png|left|200px|Gauntlet final challenge]]-->
-You will be racing against two Gauntlet Runners in this challenge. The first one to reach the end wins and kills the other two contestants.
-This challenge is easy if you have gathered keys. You simply have to run to east. The doors to your your right allow you to skip rooms if you have the key, whilst the door in front enters the challenge rooms.
-* [[Gauntlet Key - Red]] allows you to skip the first room (rathound).
-* [[Gauntlet Key - Blue]] allows you to skip the second room (siphoners).
-* [[Gauntlet Key - Green]] allows you to skip the third room (burrowers).
-* [[Gauntlet Key - Yellow]] allows you to skip the fourth room (robots).
-Once you've either run past each room or successfully fought the enemies and looted keys from them, just pull the lever to open the exit and deal with your contestants.
