### Season 6

Leading in to the next Season, the Gnome King was found exclusively at Perilous Peak.

During this time he was still possessed by the Orb, leaving him with the Orb's power. This gave him the ability to create Orb Minions from the player either dying or walking too close to the Gnome king.

Within the Season 6 Trailer, the Gnome King explains that the power of the Orb surpasses his own, as well as that power being why the Gnome King watches the Orb.

Within the End Event of Season 6, the Gnome King begins with beconing the player to grab the Infinity Blade to fight him with. After the player does so, the Gnome king then begins fusing with the Orb.

Once freed from the Orb's possession, the Gnome King bestows the power of all the gnomes to the player, giving them the power to defeat then Orb.

He then guides the player on how to continue the Event, telling them that they should surrender to the Orb as to then plan for a surprise attack on the Orb.
