What is Battle In The Beyond?
Battle In The Beyond (also known as BITB) is a player-vs-player D1SK-opening battling game built around Illuvium: Beyond. It is an Interconnected Gaming Experience, crafted to offer Illuvium Rangers a seamless blend of Illuvium's lore with Ethlizards cross-IP adventures.
Here is a introduction to the various Battle in the Beyond features:-

Playing Battle In The Beyond / BATTLE mode
Q: What do I need in order to play BITB?
A: Apart from setting up your account and Immutable Passport, the only other thing you require is Illuvium D1SK(s). These can be purchased by following the 'BUY D1SKS' link on the main BITB homepage, or during battle setup (you will be prompted if you don't have enough D1SKs for the given battle type).
Note that purchasing on BITB is identical to purchasing on the Illuvium website, including identical prices.
Q: If I open my D1SKs on BITB, will I lose my rewards from Illuvium, such as on the Illuvium leaderboard?
A: No. When you open your D1SKs on BITB, not only do you receive rewards from our Free leaderboard and Standard / Mega leaderboards (if you have the associated LizPass), you also still get all the normal rewards you would get on Illuvium if you had opened your D1SKs there. As such, you can only get an increased number of rewards by opening D1SKs on BITB!
Q: I played a 3 D1SK battle, but lost the first two rounds. Why was I forced to open my third D1SK and complete the final round of the battle, even though I could no longer win the overall battle?
A: At the start of battle, you select the D1SKs you wish to play and then you sign a batch IMX transaction to open them all. At this step, all D1SKs are burnt and the contents minted. Therefore, it’s not possible to ‘quit out’ mid-way through the battle and you must complete all rounds.
Q: Now I have opened my D1SKs, how can I see the Illuvitars and accessories that it contained?
A: Please visit the Illuvium site and log in to your Illuvium account (note that both your BITB and Illuvium accounts must use the same wallet). Alternatively, you can view the contents of your D1SKs on the IMX Marketplace at https://market.immutable.com/.
Q: I have Alpha D1SKs which I do / do not wish to use for battling. How can I ensure this?
A: When selecting your D1SKs for a battle, use the ‘Show Alpha D1SKs’ checkbox to show / hide your Alpha D1SKs for selection.
Q: I started a battle and signed the transaction to open my D1SK(s). My opponent didn’t sign their transaction and so the battle did not take place. What happens now?
A: Since you signed the transaction to open your D1SKs, they will have been burnt and the contents minted. These will now be in your wallet and viewable on Illuvium or the IMX Marketplace.
Q: I hear a ‘countdown timer’ ticking during the battle. What does this mean?
A: In order that battles do not take too long and to cope with players abandoning or disconnecting from a battle, you must turn your cards within a time limit, or you will be timed out.
Q: During the battle my opponent disconnected and / or they timed out. What happens now?
A: The battle will automatically be completed and you will see the content of your D1SKs on the results screen as normal.
Q: I accidentally closed my web browser during a battle. What happens?
A: If you reopen your browser, you will be prompted to rejoin your battle, as long as the battle has not yet completed.
Opened D1SKs
Q: Where can I see the contents of my D1SKs, once a battle is completed?
A: You can view the results of past battles on the battle lobby screen. Find your battle and click ‘Results’. You can also see the contents of your D1SKs on the Illuvium website, or the IMX Marketplace.
Q: How do I bond my Illuvitars, now I have opened my D1SKs?
A: You must use the Illuvium website to bond your Illuvitars, as this is not supported on BITB. Please connect the same wallet used on BITB to your Illuvium account and bond there as normal.
Q: I have lost my D1SK, or my D1SK has no contents / the contents were not minted - I can’t see them on Illuvium or the IMX Marketplace.
A: Contact Illuvium support via the links provided below in the ‘Support’ section.
LizPass and Leaderboards
Q: What is the Free LizPass?
A: This LizPass is gifted to all players when they sign up for a Battle In The Beyond account. It gives you the right to place on the Free Leaderboard, to win associated prizes.
Q: How does the scoring work on the Free Leaderboard?
A: This leaderboard is based on the number of actual D1SKs opened. Opening a Standard D1SK gives 1 point. Opening a Mega D1SK (or Promo D1SK) gives 6 points. So, for example, opening two standard D1SKs and one Mega D1SK gives 1+1+6 = 8 points.
Q: What are the Standard and Mega LizPass?
A: These passes can be purchased and give you the right to place on the Standard or Mega leaderboards. If you have the associated LizPass, any D1SK that you open which has a high enough D1SK power will place you in the leaderboard ranking. At the end of the Season, players receive prizes based on their rankings!
Q: How does the scoring work for the Standard and Mega leaderboards?
A: The contents of a D1SK are combined to calculate an overall ‘D1SK power’, by adding together the power of the two Illuvitars in the D1SK and then multiplying by the percentage boost of each of the three accessories. Therefore, this is the total maximum D1SK power, rather than the power of any specific Illuvitar.
Q: I bought the Mega LizPass, but I am not placing on the Standard leaderboard.
A: Each pass only gives access to the respective leaderboard. If you want to play on both leaderboards, you need to buy both passes (or the discounted combo pass).
Q: I scored the same number of points on a leaderboard as another player. Which of us gets ranked higher?
A: The player who achieved the score first takes the higher position.
Q: Why can’t I see myself on the leaderboard?
A: It can take a minute or so for leaderboards to update after your battle finishes. Please wait a little and refresh the page.
Q: I opened a really powerful D1SK and then bought my LizPass. I don’t see myself on the leaderboard.
A: Only D1SKs opened after purchasing the LizPass for the Standard / Mega leaderboards count towards those leaderboards. Please ensure your LizPass(es) are purchased and shown as activated before battling. We recommend waiting around a minute after purchasing before starting your first battle.
Q: I purchased my LizPass and it said ‘activated’. However, when I close the modal, it says ‘pending’ again on the main screen.
A: After purchasing a LizPass, it can take a little time to become active (up to 1 minute or so). Please wait a little and wait for ‘activated’ to appear on this screen. Do not start any battles until this happens, to ensure your battles count towards the respective leaderboards.
Q: What can I win by placing on the Free, Standard or Mega Leaderboards?
A: We have a generous prize pool for the various leaderboards. Details can be seen here:-
https://battleinthebeyond.io/leaderboards
Note that there is always a prize if you purchase a LizPass - every participant is guaranteed at least one NFT as reward!
Q: I have enough ETH in my wallet, but I am unable to buy a LizPass as it says I have insufficient funds.
A: BITB uses a Layer 2 blockchain solution for managing assets (ImmutableX). It’s necessary to have your ETH on L2 (IMX), not on L1 (normal Ethereum network), in order to purchase any BITB items. Click on your username at the top right and select ‘Add Funds’ in order to move ETH from L1 to L2. Please note that it normally takes around 15 minutes for funds to arrive. Your balance will refresh automatically when this has happened.
Q: When trying to buy a LizPass my balance is not correct, or I am being told I don’t have enough funds.
A: This can happen due to an issue with ImmutableX (IMX) when your wallet is connected to more than one website at the same time. This is especially likely to happen if your wallet is connected to either Illuvium or the IMX Marketplace. Please use your wallet options to disconnect from these and any other sites, then try again.
Leaderboard Prizes
Q: What can I win by placing on the Free, Standard or Mega Leaderboards?
A: We have a generous prize pool for the various leaderboards. Details can be seen here:-
https://battleinthebeyond.io/leaderboards
Q: When will prizes be distributed?
A: The prizes will be distributed at the end of the current BITB Season 0.
Seasons
Q: What is a Season in BITB?
A: Seasons correspond to Illuivum: Beyond Waves and run at the same time, so that players are able to battle with D1SKs from that Wave. Each season lasts a little longer (approx. 2 weeks) than the corresponding Wave, in order to give players enough time to battle with their D1SKS that they purchase at the last minute.
Q: How does the Seaon numbering correspond to Illuvium Beyond Wave numbering?
A: The first Season of BITB is known as Season 0 and corresponds to Wave 2. The second Season of BITB is knowns as Season 1 and corresponds to Wave 3. This pattern will continue (2/4, 3/5 etc).
SOLO mode
Q: What is SOLO mode?
A: This mode allows you to open D1SKs by yourself, in batches of up to 25 D1SKs at a time. This is great for users who want to open very large amounts of D1SKs in a fast manner and with no need for an opponent.
Q: If I open D1SKs in SOLO mode, will I still place on the leaderboards?
A: Yes. Your D1SKs still count towards the leaderboards, assuming you have purchased the appropriate LizPass (just like BATTLE mode).
Upcoming Features
Q: What is coming in future versions of BITB?
A: We have many new features in development and on the roadmap. These include:-
New battle modes, such as tactical, team brawl and tournaments
... and some top secret features!
Miscellaneous
Q: The colours in BITB seem all wrong.
A: Turn off dark mode in your browser.

Q: I use Safari browser, but things are not displaying correctly.
