A legendary quest replaces the Chowder War and requires crawlers to descend without being dragged into Sheol.
The quest explains that the seal-crab death toll has drawn the notice of gods and demons much earlier than normal. Forgotten gods are rising, the Nothing has been breached, and divine figures across the land behave outside expected patterns.
Zombie farm animals have spread through the connected ocean, supplying weakened bodies that ejected demons can easily inhabit. The quest no longer asks Carl and Donut to select a faction because both armies are effectively doomed.
Victory requires only survival and reaching the stairs without involuntary descent into hell. Carl is promised a Legendary Quest Box and bagpipes; Donut appears to receive a personalized novelty reward instead.
A legendary quest banner over a red sea where demons rise into zombies and a stairwell glows in the distance.
The quest reframes the floor's remaining objective from faction resolution to escape from a supernatural cascade.
