Editing Hunting (section)

== Nemesis hunts ==

'''Nemesis hunts''' are named alpha predators that stalk the late hunting ladder — each one an alpha in its own right, so it is left out of the ordinary alpha roll. A nemesis is not fought for a trophy: it carries a '''second artifact income stream''' instead, dropping its biome's Arena Artifact and rare materials.

Entering a nemesis hunt costs '''surplus [[Trophies|alpha trophies]]''' as a lure — the entry fee that finally gives all those spare trophies a use. Nemesis fights run long and pay big [[Hunting]] XP, filling the gaps between the normal hunt rungs.

The '''Vale Colossus''' (Hunting 98) is the hunting ladder's final rung, above the Titanoboa (94) and Dire Mammoth (97) capstone hunts. Cull [[Contracts|contracts]] now reach up to Hunting 92 (the Cull Purussaurus contract), closing the old gap in the late board.
