Description

The Narratorium was the event map for The Final Act Event. Like other event maps, this map had a specialized wave structure with special enemies. Players started with a varying amount of cash, based on how many players there were in the match. The rewards received were based on how many waves were survived and if the match was won. This map had two difficulties, Easy and Hard.

Cash is only gained if an enemy was killed, or in some cases, damaged by a specific amount of health. Additionally, the amount gained was a set amount of cash, which was not always equal to the enemy's health. Enemies split their cash between players, regardless of how much damage the player dealt to it. If, in a duo, one player did all the damage to an enemy, both players would receive 50% of the cash the enemy would normally give in solo. This means that in solo, you received 100% of the cash when an enemy is killed, or it was damaged enough. With each additional player, this is reduced to 50% in duo, 33% in trio and 25% in quad. If it was a decimal, it gets rounded up or down depending on the decimal value. If it is at least 0.5, it gets rounded up. If it is less than 0.5, it gets rounded down.

Health of enemies in this mode scaled with player count and difficulty.

• In Easy, the increase was 20% in duo, 40% in trio and 60% in quad.
• In Hard, the increase was 15% in duo, 30% in trio and 40% in quad.

In the Hard difficulty, Skills became disabled. Base health was set to 100. The final boss of this map was the Narrator.

Design & Path

The Narratorium was a giant theater located in a military base. It consisted of three areas. The first and largest was the audience. This contained multiple rows of seats, most of which were taken up. Some of the rows were taken up by cardboard cutouts of an audience, ones next to Lord Exo's throne were taken up by users from the player's friend list while the ones on the side of the stage were taken up by the game developers. The second largest area was the playable area, which contained a recreation of the various stages of the Old World, Paradise and Overworld. In front of this, there was a stage which showcases various cardboard cutouts that change as the waves progress.

Every tenth wave, the playable area would change, giving it a different look. This, however, had little actual impact on the gameplay. The stage itself also changed seven times.

Four Spotlights were placed on the edges of the stage, which on the final wave are used to stun the Narrator.

The path started at the stage and ends at the control panel. There were two paths total in the Easy difficulty and four in Hard.

Loading scripts

Preset Loadouts

Tactician

A well-rounded and adaptable loadout.

Zone Control

A loadout that prides itself in air superiority and locking down areas.

Fortress

A defensive loadout specialized at sending units and deploying traps.

Squad Leader

A supportive loadout that commands the team to victory

Jack Of All Trades

A simple loadout that remains strong throughout the entire match

Backline Defender

A loadout that is strong for defense play and map control

Rewards

The game calculated how many Coins and EXP you received based on how many waves you survived and if you won a match. During periods of 100% more EXP (Friday – Sunday), any EXP earned was multiplied by 2x through the XP Boost modifier. The VIP gamepass also multiplied any EXP earned by 1.25x through the VIP Boost modifier. These two boosts were additive.

Rewards were calculated as:

Coins Reward	EXP Reward
Easy
(400 ÷ (1 + [(30 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + 200 (Triumph Bonus)) × 1.2	(100 EXP ÷ (1 + [(30 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) + 50 EXP (Triumph Bonus)) × 1.2
Hard
(800 ÷ (1 + [(30 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]^1.3) + 200 (Triumph Bonus)) × 1.2	(200 EXP ÷ (1 + [(30 ÷ Current Wave) - 1]) + 75 EXP (Triumph Bonus)) × 1.2

Triumphing The Narratorium could give out an additional reward, which could be a crate, consumable or ticket. They were meant to be guaranteed, though due to a bug this did not always happen. In Easy, these items were:

• Common (55%)
  • Time Scale Ticket (2-4)
  • Revive Ticket (2-3)
  • Spin Ticket (2-3)
  • Low Grade Crate
  • Fruit Cake (2-3)

Wave Structure

The Narratorium's wave bonus was:

$500 + ([Waves Completed - 1] × $100)^1.225

Depending on player count, the wave bonus was reduced using multipliers. These multipliers were:

Players	Reduction per Player	Total Reduction
Solo	0%	0%
Duo	3%	6%
Trio	2%	6%
Quad	1.5%	6%

The wave clear bonus appeared when every enemy from that wave was killed and no damage was dealt to the base health. It was 25% of the wave bonus in solo, while for duo, trio and quad it was 20%.

Waves could not be skipped in The Narratorium. The waves in The Narratorium mode followed these timings:

Waves	Easy Wave Timer	Hard Wave Timer
1-10	1:00
11-19	1:20
20-24	1:40
25	3:20	2:30
26-29	1:40
30	∞

	Engineer	Yeesh
	Narrator	Say anything and I'll make you regret being given a voice actor.
2	Narrator	Long ago, two brothers ruled over all creation. Each saw the Old World as a blank canvas, but like any artist, each viewed the world much differently.	4x Attendee, 4x Fanatic, 4x Attendee, 4x Fanatic, 4x Attendee
	Narrator	One wanted those who lived in the Old World to create a place of their own, while the other thought the only interesting world is one created from chaos. And I HATE to agree, but peace is such a DRAG.

	Narrator	Imagine creatures beyond anything you've ever seen! The war-torn landscape, the endless carnage, the ruthless battles! A universe where the strong crushes the weak.
5	Engineer	Watch out! Those Builders are stunning us!	12x Attendee, 12x Fanatic, 8x Extra A, 8x Sack Noob (Aggro), 2x Builder
	Narrator	You see, Two X believed everyone had a place in the world, so he helped nurture them. Meanwhile, Lord Exo created creatures as tall as buildings while wiping out thousands that didn't suit his vision. Oh, how I can hear them begging for mercy.
	Commander	He killed thousands?!
	Narrator	Whoops! Sorry. that was supposed to be *millions*.

Lord Exo sat In silence for a long moment, and without warning a sword materialized in his hand, striking Two X to his knees.	4x Extra A, 4x Extra B, 4x Extra A, 4x Extra B, 4x Extra A, 4x Extra B, 4x Extra A
	Narrator	Two X looked up at him in shock as he said 'You should have known that I would never work with someone who's beneath me.' You should have seen the look on his face!
	Commander	YOU CAN DO THAT?
	Narrator	Oh Commander. You know. In that moment watched something die inside Two X, and I think it Was the realization that Lord Exo was right about one thing. There wasn't a world where they could ever be equals.
	Narrator	It's tragic really. One second you're a character without any lore and the next you're being stabbed by your brother. Too bad he couldn't black out his profile.

	Narrator	Yeah it does that - ANYWAYS! After Two X escaped, both sides began attacking the other. What Lord Exo lacked in numbers he had in strength, and at one point it was clear this would be the bloodiest of wars.
	Narrator	The Old World was torn apart piece by piece and countless victims met their end. Just like how you'll meet yours if you don't place some hidden detection!
	Commander	Stop doing that.
11	-		8x Extra B, 8x Performer, 2x Builder (Bloated), 2x Exo Guard, 16x Exo Follower

14	Narrator	As the battlefield spread across the entirety of the Old World. Lord Exo and Two X met face to face, surrounded by the bodies of their followers. Their weapons were drawn-one siphoning the sous of the corrupted and the other was fueled by sacrifice. One takes, the other receives.	4x Stunt Man, 12x Extra B (Bloated), 8x Builder (Bloated), 12x Exo Follower, 4x Exo Guard (Bloated), 4x Stunt Man
	Narrator	Each sword swing cut down mountains and each strike sent shockwaves that knocked the wind out of your chest! I could barely breathe as I watched from a distance, staining every dramatic moment into memory!
	Commander	You worship a psychopath! All of those people and everything he's done! Its-!
	Narrator	MAGNIFICENT!
15	Narrator	Their battle went on for days, then weeks. Pockets of unstable energy were scattered across the landscape because of their abilities. Two X watched as everything he fought to protect crumbled while Lord Exo thrived in the chaos. It was then that Two X had to make a choice.	11x Exo Follower, 12x Exo Guard, 8x Performer (Bloated, Aggro), 12x Builder
	Narrator	Where Two X's army fought exhaustion, Lord Exo's never tired. If he didn't end the battle soon, all he wanted to protect would be lost. Looking to his strongest fighters, they willingly sacrificed themselves to create a prison.
	Narrator	In only a few seconds, he turned thousands of his followers into an energy source; and then-
	Engineer	That's when the God Cube was created.
16	Commander	Enough of the stories! Tell me where Dispatcher is!	8x Extra C, 4x Builder, 16x Exo Follower, 4x Spectator (Bloated), 8x Extra C
	Narrator	Man, you're such a buzz-kill! All I did was help murder one of the two people keeping your realm from collapsing and maybe causing you to lose your friend. WHO CARES! You think you have it bad? I lost my FAVORITE frog in that battle. Man, Frank threw the best parties...

	Narrator	Just like how the Old World was hurting everyone who survived the war! Now that Lord Exo was defeated, Two X was left with an uninhabitable wasteland that became the Nil Zone!
	Commander	Wait, we were in the Old World?!
	Narrator	Ha! What's left of it!
21	Narrator	The chaotic energy in the Nil Zone was beginning to corrupt the few that remained, including myself, so that was when Two X used the rest of his power to create Paradise, the seed of a growing tree that all realms are created from.	4x Security (Aggro), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 4x Security (Aggro), 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 1x Dancer, 4x Security (Aggro), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated)

	Engineer	Wait, Narrator, I think-
	Narrator	No, no. Don't make me feel better...
26	Narrator	Now that you SHATTERED my heart to pieces just like THEY DID, I can tell you how Two X began creating a branching web of realms.

	Narrator	Calling it 'The Meta', he and the Rift Walker carefully protect it by dumping any waste into the Nil Zone. What used to be our home is now a dumping ground for trash and tetanus. But hey, at least it doesn't have a zombie problem THAT YOU KEEP FORGETTING TO FIX.
	Narrator	Like seriously! You went from fighting zombies to people who can destroy a realm if they sneeze. What's WRONG with you guys?!
27	-		2x Projector, 4x Spotlight, 12x Extra D, 8x Security, 12x Dancer
28	Narrator	Now after a certain amount of time that the writer doesn't want to explain, Paradise became a distant memory, and that's probably where Two X is trying to stop all realms from collapsing. Though, it's only a matter of time at this rate.	2x Projector, 4x Spindling (Bloated), 4x Stereo Man, 2x Painter, 8x Security
	Narrator	Soon we'll all be thrown into the Nil Zone and either die horribly or become ugly and mutated.

	Narrator	Yeah it does that— ANYWAYS! After Two X escaped, both sides began attacking the other. What Lord Exo lacked in numbers he had in strength, and at one point it was clear this would be the bloodiest of wars.
	Narrator	The Old World was torn apart piece by piece and countless victims met their end. Just like how you'll meet yours if you don't place some hidden detection!
	Commander	Stop doing that.

14	Narrator	As the battlefield spread across the entirety of the Old World. Lord Exo and Two X met face to face, surrounded by the bodies of their followers. Their weapons were drawn— one siphoning the souls of the corrupted and the other was fueled by sacrifice. One takes, the other receives.	4x Stunt Man, 12x Extra B (Bloated), 8x Builder (Bloated), 12x Exo Follower, 4x Exo Guard (Bloated), 4x Stunt Man
	Narrator	Each sword swing cut down mountains and each strike sent shockwaves that knocked the wind out of your chest! I could barely breathe as I watched from a distance, staining every dramatic moment into memory!
	Commander	You worship a psychopath! All of those people and everything he's done! It's—!
	Narrator	MAGNIFICENT!
15	Narrator	Their battle went on for days, then weeks. Pockets of unstable energy were scattered across the landscape because of their abilities. Two X watched as everything he fought to protect crumbled while Lord Exo thrived in the chaos. It was then that Two X had to make a choice.	11x Exo Follower, 1x Spotlight 12x Exo Guard, 8x Performer (Bloated, Aggro), 12x Builder
	Narrator	Where Two X's army fought exhaustion, Lord Exo's never tired. If he didn't end the battle soon, all he wanted to protect would be lost. Looking to his strongest fighters, they willingly sacrificed themselves to create a prison.
	Narrator	In only a few seconds, he turned thousands of his followers into an energy source; and then—
	Engineer	That's when the God Cube was created.
16	Commander	Enough of the stories! Tell me where Dispatcher is!	8x Extra C, 4x Builder, 16x Exo Follower, 4x Spectator (Bloated), 8x Extra C
	Narrator	Man, you're such a buzz-kill! All I did was help murder one of the two people keeping your realm from collapsing and maybe causing you to lose your friend. WHO CARES! You think you have it bad? I lost my FAVORITE frog in that battle. Man, Frank threw the best parties...
	Commander	That's it!

The corruption from the sword burned his hands, but Two X used his followers to drag Lord Exo into the Cube.	2x Spotlight, 2x Dancer, 4x Exo Guard (Bloated), 12x Performer (Bloated), 8x Stunt Man, 8x Spectator (Bloated)

	Narrator	Just like how the Old World was hurting everyone who survived the war! Now that Lord Exo was defeated, Two X was left with an uninhabitable wasteland that became the Nil Zone!
	Commander	Wait, we were in the Old World?!
	Narrator	Ha! What's left of it!
21	Narrator	The chaotic energy in the Nil Zone was beginning to corrupt the few that remained, including myself, so that was when Two X used the rest of his power to create Paradise, the seed of a growing tree that all realms are created from.	4x Security (Aggro), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 4x Security (Aggro), 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 1x Dancer, 4x Security (Aggro), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated), 1x Dancer, 1x Stunt Man (Bloated)
	Narrator	Leaving the Old World behind, everyone started making a new home that Two X had always envisioned. Cities were created, landscapes were terraformed, alliances were made! It was all so—beautiful!
	Narrator	BEAUTIFULLY BORING! HOW POINTLESS! Why would you create the most impressive realm in the universe with smiling families and overwhelming prosperity if there isn't any DRAMA?!

	Engineer	Wait, Narrator, I think—
	Narrator	No, no. Don't make me feel better...
26	Narrator	Now that you SHATTERED my heart to pieces just like THEY DID, I can tell you how Two X began creating a branching web of realms.

	Narrator	Calling it 'The Meta,' he and the Rift Walker carefully protect it by dumping any waste into the Nil Zone. What used to be our home is now a dumping ground for trash and tetanus. But hey, at least it doesn't have a zombie problem THAT YOU KEEP FORGETTING TO FIX.
	Narrator	Like seriously! You went from fighting zombies to people who can destroy a realm if they sneeze. What's WRONG with you guys?!
27	-		4x Projector, 8x Spotlight, 12x Extra D, 8x Security (Aggro), 16x Dancer
28	Narrator	Now after a certain amount of time that the writer doesn't want to explain, Paradise became a distant memory, and that's probably where Two X is trying to stop all realms from collapsing. Though, it's only a matter of time at this rate.	2x Projector, 4x Spindling (Bloated), 4x Stereo Man, 2x Painter, 8x Security
	Narrator	Soon we'll all be thrown into the Nil Zone and either die horribly or become ugly and mutated.

	Engineer	Already did when you weren't looking.
	Narrator	OH OF COURSE YOU DID! Man I hate those devs!
Lose Dialogue
		One icon and dialogue is randomly chosen upon defeat: •We're toast! •OOF! •Mission Failed, we'll get em' next time. •Not enough numbers! •Mistakes are just part of the journey.. •We're overrun chief! •We'll get them next time! •Don't give up! •We need back up sergeant! •We just had our grave dug.. •We have to fall back soldier! •Oops! Try again! •The enemies got to the base! •Strategy is key!

Strategy

• Towers are best placed around the middle of the map, due to it being the closest to all four paths and near a cliff spot, where if Rangers of level 2 or greater were placed down, surrounding towers could get a range buff at the beginning of each wave.
• Due to the left most and right most paths being far away from most ideal tower spots, high range DPS towers are recommended here. This includes towers like the Ranger, Turret, Accelerator, Warlock or Pursuit.
  • This is far less of an issue on the Easy difficulty, as the two most problematic paths are not used there.
  • The DJ Booth and Ranger can both be used to boost the range of your towers. However, the range buff from the Ranger is only temporary.
• On the final wave, the Narrator is capable of dealing damage to the base health, specifically 40% of the base health and all Medic overheal.
  • To prevent the Narrator from dealing any damage, players have to aim all the Spotlights at it. The spotlight can be set in place by clicking or hovering on the spot you want it to aim at. It is possible for one player to aim multiple spotlights at once.
  • In the Easy difficulty, it is possible to completely ignore this mechanic, as you can kill the Narrator quickly enough for the damage to not matter.
    • This is even more true with Skills, as the Narrator's base damage does not account for overheal, meaning that with fully upgraded Skills, the Narrator has to use its ability eight times to end the match instead of the usual three.
      • This is however not advised, as while performing this ability the Narrator becomes immune to damage, meaning that while you can pay no attention to the match and still win, using the Spotlights will make the match end sooner.

Trivia

• The Narratorium is the first map in the game since Krampus Frosthold to change stages when reaching a certain point in the match.
  • However, unlike all previous uses of this feature, towers are not sold when the stages are switched.
• The Narratorium is the only map to include preset loadouts for the Hard difficulty, most likely because of a collaboration between Tower Defense Simulator and Forsaken.
  • Having the badge for beating this map on the Hard difficulty also gives the player the Narrator Noli skin in Forsaken.
    • The Narrator Noli skin in Forsaken can still be earned by beating Hardcore mode.
  • This is also the second collaboration Tower Defense Simulator has had with another game, with the first one being the Tower Defense Simulator x PLS DONATE Event.
• This map's pathway has a somewhat similar concept to that of Krampus Frosthold, particularly in the beginning of the map; however, the end paths are all close to each other rather than being far apart.
• This map takes place on either Monday or Friday as the opening cutscene shows the Accelerator preparing to eat a hamburger. In the Null & Void Event, it is revealed by the Narrator in his annoyance, which is then confirmed by the Commander, that the Accelerator likes to eat hamburgers only on Monday and Fridays.
