The clock
Minute 28: news dated 2026-10-13 says rifts stop opening from that minute.
Minute 30: Judgment starts. Arceus takes you to the Ruins of Judgment. It is invincible and chases faster. It casts pillars, beams, and shockwaves. A touch costs almost half your HP. Every 5 seconds a legendary joins.
Five minutes into Judgment, the 2026-10-18 news says Arceus keeps speeding up. Seven minutes in, its touch takes more HP, until a one-hit around minute 40.
Minute 35: news dated 2026-10-23 says Arceus breaks everyone’s item, Focus Sash included.
The same 2026-10-13 post names three achievements: The Judgment (reach minute 30), Before the Creator (1 minute), and Divine challenge (3 legendaries). Overtime from minute 60 was removed that day. Records over 35 minutes were removed that day. News dated 2026-10-23 says there is no 45-minute ranking limit.
Two join formulas
News dated 2026-10-13 says every 5 seconds a legendary joins with twice the HP and damage of the previous one.
News dated 2026-10-23 says the Judgment legendaries are no longer twice as strong as the previous one: each has 25% more HP and 15% more damage.
Both sentences stay, with their dates. The later post is the one that states the current join math. Poison and burns deal a small fixed amount to Judgment legendaries in that same 2026-10-23 post.
The legendaries page, read 2026-10-29, says a legendary stronger than the last one joins, plus a random Plate. That page does not repeat the 25% and 15% figures. The full dated page is Judgment of Arceus.

Plate and the arena
A random Plate gives Arceus its type. You are told the type when you enter. Which Plates exist is Unknown.
You can hit Arceus. It is invincible and takes a small part of the damage, less over time. Attacks aim at it when no legendary is left.
News dated 2026-10-25 says nobody leaves the Judgment arena.
Arceus’s own row is Arceus.
Arriving from the wave
The wave is wide circles and the active move. From minute 28, new rifts stop. At minute 30 the arena starts. At minute 35 the held item breaks, Focus Sash included. A Slumber Orb or a Blowback Orb is the save for a surround, and orbs end with the run, so the one you still hold is the one for this room. The walk up to minute 28 is wave survival.
