Changelog/2024/December 10

Today we are releasing Hypixel SkyBlock 0.21, which features The Mountaintop, a new content-pack zone at the end of The Rift.
We added spoilers in this thread for the lore enthusiasts in our community, but if you want some glimpses as to what is in store keep reading on!Warning: Some of the NPCs in this update are invisible with a few popular SkyBlock Mods!An unfamiliar Oruo awaited me, leading me into his temporal lair where I fought to claim the Blessing of Time.
Bracing myself after the fight, I recalled how Eleanor had scoured distant lands, her voice faintly calling my name.
=== ➥ Oruo ===
Upon reaching the mountaintop, you’ll encounter Oruo, now in possession of the Blessing of Time. He grants you entry to his Time Chamber, where time flows at double speed. Inside, you must face Sun Gecko.
If you emerge victorious you will unlock his Essence Shop for valuable upgrades.
=== ➥ Eleanors ===
Multiple versions of Eleanor roam the mountaintop, each following a different Shen. They search tirelessly for a certain individual. Could that person be you?
Returning thrice, Ubik’s tests each required a clever mind to unravel riddles that bent common sense.
Even the ore I collected seemed alive, shimmering as if aging beneath my very gaze.
=== ➥ Ubik Von Neumann ===
Ubik, celebrated as the smartest mind in any reality, has made his way into the Rift in pursuit of intellectual equals. He will challenge you on 3 different occasions, each rewarding different items.
=== ➥ Timite ===
Inside the Mountaintop there is a new Timite Ore, which can age using a Time Gun. Each variant you mine contributes to the Timite Collection, unlocking crafts and rewards, such as:
Time Pocket Bag and Discrite
This new bag will allow you to store up to 5 Aging Items.
Those will progress twice as fast in the bag, compared to your inventory.
And while we are at it, Discrite is an Aging Item too! This one grants you a buff in the Rift but also outside of the Rift.
Highlite
This new crafted item is a component to a new recipe in the Gold Collection: The Enchanted Clock
A breath left my lungs and took shape, forging living cruxes as if conjured from thin air.
Caught in a puzzle of a murder undone, I questioned the threads of cause and effect.
Puffs
At such dizzying heights, even your breath can spark life. Defeat these peculiar, non-hostile Puffs to earn cruxes, but do it swiftly, as consecutive takedowns are key to maximizing rewards.
Their cruxes are currently used to craft the last Starstone, and will play a part in future recipes coming with the Foraging Island.
Reverse Murder
Detective Amog returns with another perplexing “reverse murder” mystery. Whether it’s new or something strangely familiar, brace yourself, your investigative skills will be tested once again.
Hearing whispers from seemingly inert objects taught me nothing was truly lifeless.The ground beneath me shifted into floating platforms, defying reason and gravity with playful cruelty.
Enigma Souls
The mountaintop holds a fresh batch of elusive Enigma Souls. Track them down and collect them all, if you can unravel their secrets.
Onward I pressed, retrieving the final timecharm and feeling the strands of fate tugging me forth.
Then Shen stood before me, wealth incarnate, his machinations laying before me.
Timecharm and Shen
After assisting Eleanor, you’ll gain entry to Shen’s room at the mountaintop’s summit. There, Shen himself awaits. Prove your worth to claim the final Timecharm.
Honed by Wizardman’s trials; strength, swiftness, and reason; I found myself altered.
Eventually, I neared the breach, a silent wound in time that beckoned me forward.
Wizardman
Wizardman’s trials test not only your might, but your agility and intellect. Conquer all three trials to craft his armor and earn the right to bear the proud title of “Wizardman.”
Perhaps I imagined Jythar’s roar would shake these walls and announce my final trial.
All I found was silence, save for the faint flap of wings that hinted at a distant presence.
Still, something colossal loomed invisibly, but meeting the dragon would have to wait.
There, I stepped into the breach, completing the purpose etched into my every choice.
The Breach
At the pinnacle of the mountain lies the breach. With sufficient Rift Time on your side, you can repair and enter it. Completing this final challenge concludes your journey through the Rift.
Completing the Rift will grant you free access to the Wizard functionalities in a future update.
Completing the Rift rewards a Memento item! Have fun!
