The Riptide Engine is a Solana Foundation badge quest. King Triton at our booth sends you to five gods in order; each asks one RPC question, and King Triton assembles the engine at the end. It's a separate quest from Catch the Tritons, but the Tritons can help you with the answers.

What are quests and how are they different from Catch the Tritons?

Quests are entirely autonomous and NPC driven. We run beacons which are small esp32 devices that advertise themselves as a "character".

When you are part of a quest you can interact with the character which will provide
dialogue trees.

The quests earn !LAMPs that help you to scale leaderboards.

How to play

  1. Meet King Triton at the Triton booth and accept The Riptide Engine from the badge Quests menu. He'll tell you to catch him in Catch the Tritons too.
  2. Visit five gods in order: Styx, Charybdis, Lethe, Charon, Cerberus. You can find them near other booths throughout Breakpoint. Each god sends you on to the next.
  3. At each god, listen to the god's story and answer one RPC question to repair a broken part. A wrong answer explains why, names the Triton who knows, and lets you try again.
  4. If you get stuck, find the Triton team member who knows the answer and use Talk (UP on the card) in Catch the Tritons to learn the answer.
  5. Link your X account and pay Charon 5 !LAMPs before his question - trust us, it's worth it.
  6. Return to King Triton with all five parts and answers one last question to assemble the engine.

What you'll get

  • 10 !LAMPs from Styx, Charybdis, Lethe and Cerberus each. Charon takes 5 and pays back 15.
  • 50 !LAMPs and a Guide page for assembling the engine. About 100 !LAMPs net for the whole route.

This game doesn't let you win Triton RPC credit. That comes from Catch the Tritons, which you can do while on this quest.

If something goes wrong

  • Wrong answer: no penalty. Read the hint and try again.
  • If you walk away mid-question, you don't have to start the whole quest again. The god will give you the question again; you can go back.
  • Station dead or not responding: let us know at the Triton booth!

Happy questing!
