Bounty Hunt

Bounty Hunt is a multiplayer mode in Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls with both cooperative and competitive elements. Up to four players must fight against continuous waves of enemies in the Dracula's Castle Abyss, with the goal being to defeat them all before the time runs out. Each player has their own score based on the enemies they've killed, and they are also competing against each other to score the most points. Players are ranked at the end of the match based on their score, with higher ranks earning greater rewards.
If a player dies during Bounty Hunt, they will enter Skeleton State. Another living player can resurrect them - if this happens, the player who does so will steal a portion of the skeleton player's points. They can be revived an infinite number of times, but if the timer runs out, the match will end in failure with no rewards received.
==Mechanics==
===Great Ghost===
After a portion of the enemies in a match have been defeated, the Great Ghost will appear and begin flying through the stage. It will chase after players and attack them with a shockwave attack. While it cannot be killed, landing enough hits on it will knock it far away and temporarily stun it.
===Bosses===
When all other enemies have been defeated, one or more minibosses will start to spawn in the central room. Mirrors also appear throughout the stage which will teleport players directly to the boss room. On lower difficulties, there will be four weaker minibosses, but on higher difficulties they will be replaced with a single Final Guard.
===Points===
Upon being defeated, enemies drop a number of coins. These will be distributed amongst players who damaged that enemy, according to the percentage of damage they dealt. Stronger and rarer enemies offer more points.
There are two special enemies who only appear in this mode who don't fight back, but offer a large number of points: Skeleton Boy and Sarcophagus.

===Rewards===
Each match awards Gold, Bounty Coin, Enhancement Runes, and Tier Points (abbreviated as TP), with higher ranking players earning more of each. Additionally, when the final enemy is killed, a Treasure Chest is dropped which gives each player either 1000 Gold or a random Parchment. Players are not guaranteed to get the same items as each other.
====Promotion====
Accumulating TP earns players promotions to higher tiers, meaning greater rewards but less TP earned per match. Every time a player is promoted, they receive rewards based on the tier they achieved. Additionally, at the end of the season, players will receive more rewards based on their current tier. Unlike promotion rewards, the seasonal rewards are not cumulative, only granting the set for their current tier.
Tiers are reset at the end of each season, which typically last 1-2 weeks.

===Hunter Ranking===
At times, Bounty Hunt will be replaced with a slightly different mode called Hunter Ranking. The gameplay is the same, but the stage changes to a different elemental theme. The enemy list can change as well to match this theme, as well as the parchment list that can come from clearing a match. Some Hunter Ranking events have exclusive parchments that can only be earned during that season. Additionally, matches also award Medals for use in the Event Market.
There is also an additional seasonal award, based on the player's overall TP versus other players who have played at least one match during that season of Hunter Ranking. When the season ends, the reward for their placement will be distributed.
