Highpass Cemetery is a two-objective scenario set in a snow-covered cemetery. The Stag and the Crypt are separated across the battlefield, so your realm must split its attention between capturing both and preventing the enemy from doing the same.

At a glance

Players: 6 to 12 per realm
Time limit: 12 minutes
Objectives: The Stag and the Crypt
Player kills: 5 points
Capturing both objectives and holding them for 15 seconds awards 80 points to your realm. The objectives then lock for 30 seconds before reopening.

How to play

At the start, send players toward both objectives so the enemy cannot take one uncontested.
Capture The Stag and the Crypt. Once your realm controls both, a 15-second countdown begins.
Keep both objectives under your control until the countdown finishes. If the enemy takes either one before then, the lockdown is canceled.
A completed lockdown awards your realm 80 points and closes both objectives for 30 seconds. Regroup and prepare to contest them again when they reopen.
Kills are worth 5 points, but objectives are the main way to build your score.

Capture interactions can be interrupted by direct damage. Damage-over-time ticks and damage procs do not interrupt them, according to the official patch notes from 30 October 2020.

Tips

Split your group between the two objectives early, then rotate players to help where the fight needs them.
When the 15-second countdown begins, focus on defending both points rather than chasing kills away from them.
Use the gravestones, mausoleums, and other structures to break line of sight when fighting around the objectives.

-== Quick Guide ==
+Capture interactions can be interrupted by direct damage. Damage-over-time ticks and damage procs do not interrupt them, according to the [https://returnofreckoning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41898 official patch notes from 30 October 2020].
-This SC features simple dual capture mechanics. Capture both the Stag and the Crypt to earn points for your Realm and be granted a powerful boon to destroy your enemies!
-Effectively, your Realm should look forward to capture one point as soon as possible, while a few other prevent the capture of the other point, by the opposing Realm. The Cemetery is a location filled with obstacles that could be used for LoS (''Line of Sight'') in order to counter casters and isolate enemies from their healers.
+== Tips ==
+* Split your group between the two objectives early, then rotate players to help where the fight needs them.
-=== '''<u>Score Calculation</u>''' ===
+* When the 15-second countdown begins, focus on defending both points rather than chasing kills away from them.
-Every scenario has a different way to calculate the score for each Realm. In this SC:
+* Use the gravestones, mausoleums, and other structures to break line of sight when fighting around the objectives.
-* Kill = 5 points
-* Capture both objectives = 80 points
-* Hold both objectives for 15 seconds = gain a damage buff
-=== <u>General Strategy</u> ===
-* Head out the gates at the start of the match, have half the group go to The Crypt and the other half go to The Stag. Fight for control of these two objectives, and once you have control defend them.
-* If you zerg 1 objective point, consider leaving 3 people to defend that objective while the rest of the team push to the other objective.
-* Slaughtering your enemies in this scenario is a must, however you need to profit from any team fight win to instantly capture the objectives.
-* Hold the conquered objectives for 15 seconds in order to gain the team-wide damage buff.<br>
-=== <u>Archetypes Roles</u> ===
-* '''Tanks:'''
-The enemy team might be assisting targets, in that case, make sure to keep their target alive. Swap guards fast enough.
-If it's a chill fight, try to sneak capture the objective or prevent it from being captured by the enemy team.
-* '''Melee DPS:'''
-Make sure to keep pressure on the enemy healers and assist other damage dealers to nuke down enemies.
-* '''Ranged DPS:'''
-Around the objectives, the distance and environment are tight, keep a large distance between you and the enemies.
-Keep your eyes open for sneak captures, your melee DPS and tank teammates might not notice an enemy capturing the objective.
-* '''Healers:'''
-Make sure to keep yourself and other healers up at all costs.
-Keep a large enough distance and use LoS to avoid being nuked by range DPS.
-== Best way to team up ==
-Teaming up in Return of Reckoning is easy. You can ask for a group or advertise one using the Looking For Group channel. Simply type /5 in your chat and advertise your message.
-You should aim for a 2-2-2, which translates to 2 tanks, 2 damage dealers and 2 healers before queueing.
-Queueing with a team drastically increases your win rate and thus your rewards.
