Mastering the Mandatory Chess Run in New World: Aeternum for Season 10

Oct-20-2025 PST Category: New World

Welcome back, adventurers of Aeternum! Are you ready to tackle the mandatory chess run for Season 10? This run is crucial if you want to stay ahead of the competition and even have the option to buy New World Coins to enhance your gameplay experience. I’m here to guide you through every step. Follow this comprehensive breakdown, and stick around for my exclusive master tip at the end that will make this run much easier.

Step 1: Preparing Your Supplies

Before we dive into the action, the first essential item you need is the Potion of Full Sight. This potion is non-negotiable for your run through Night Haven. You can craft it at the Aana station using the following recipe:

· Ingredients:

· 1 Grave Dirt

· 100 Water

· 1 Quartz

This recipe allows you to craft two potions. Alternatively, you can purchase the potions from the market if you prefer not to craft them.

Step 2: Getting to Nightbreaker Roost

Once you've secured your potions, it's time to head to Nightbreaker Roost. First, travel to the Church of the Divinity. This spot not only offers a layer of divine luck for some good RNG but also serves as a good launching point for your run.

Mount Up and Move Out

Hop on your mount and immediately consume your Potion of Full Sight. Remember, this potion lasts for 30 minutes, giving you ample time to navigate and gather loot.

Step 3: Navigating the Terrain

As you venture out, it's critical to take precautions. For this run, I recommend sporting medium armor with a bit of extra Constitution, as the enemies you’ll encounter can deal hefty damage. Trust me, being on the brink of being one-shot is not a fun experience.

The Early Stretch

Head up the hill to find a rock you can jump on—this will allow you to ride your mount across a gap. From here, you’ll notice two beautiful bridges and a chest waiting for you. Feel free to grab it, though I’ll focus on showing you the optimal route.

Looting Without Combat

As you're moving forward, avoid unnecessary enemy encounters. You’ll pass by some crows to the left and right, but don’t engage them if you can help it. However, there will be a mandatory enemy you need to eliminate—kite him behind a pillar for a manageable 1v1.

After dispatching him, loot the nearby chest. Be cautious about the crow on your right; it’s a bait. Instead, climb up the nearby structure and jump across to find another chest.

Step 4: Embracing the Challenge

Once you've cleared the easy parts, brace yourself for some action.

Combat and Parkour

Continue onward to find two elite chests. Just remember, the enemies here can still hit hard. After collecting these chests, be stealthy and avoid aggressive mobs. You’ll have a chance to snag two more chests on the nearby rooftops.

If you find yourself needing to escape, don't hesitate to use abilities like Berserk to avoid being staggered by enemy hits. Keep an eye on your stamina, as running low can critically hinder your approach.

Continued Exploration

Jump over to the blue jump pad for quicker access, but don’t forget to snag the chests in the area! After jumping through a hole, note that you may face a boss. I highly recommend avoiding this encounter solo unless you're fully prepared.

If you decide to engage, pop your Stone Form for better survivability. Preferably, distract the boss so you can loot the area effectively without losing too much health.

Step 5: Securing the Loot

Once you've successfully navigated the boss and looted the chests, continue exploring the area for any remaining loot. A noteworthy point is the right path leading back up if you happen to fall.

Finalizing Your Run

You can either leap downwards or grab the final chests while avoiding combat. Don’t forget about that pesky boss lingering around; it's crucial to prioritize strategy over greed.

Master Tip: The Unstuck Feature

If you happen to fall during the run, remember that you can hit Escape, navigate to the Game Menu, and select Unstuck. This will teleport you back to a point on the map, saving you a lengthy restart.

Conclusion
