Dungeon Crawler Carl
Summary
The Bubbles, the fifth floor, replaces open maps with 1,172 sealed domes floating in a dark gap between worlds. Each dome has land, sea, air and underground quadrants with one castle apiece, and all four must be taken before the dome pops and its stairwells open. About 178,000 crawlers start here, spread at roughly 150 to a dome.
