In the latest Ink Game Update, the developers have introduced the most fabled Sky Squid Game as a match round to the base game. This is based on the real-life Squid Game held in South Korea in 2024 that revolves around fighting and brawling. So, if you are wondering how to play this particular game mode or need tips to win, here is a complete guide to help you succeed.
When does the Sky Squid Game Mode appear in Ink Game?
The Sky Squid Game only appears if there are 4 to 8 players alive after the Mingle Round (6th round). So, it is not a mandatory round, and can only be triggered if this condition is fulfilled, which is pretty rare, as almost everyone dies during the Mingle Round due to the rules.
How to win the Sky Squid Game in Ink Game
The Sky Squid Game is all about strategy and fighting, as it is a combat-based round. This is very similar to the Secret Dinner Game Mode, except that there will be more players, and you cannot run around, as the entire fight takes place on a cliff.
The objective is pretty simple: there will be three stages of the fight, and it will go on for 2:30 minutes. During each stage, at least one player should be eliminated to proceed to the next one. Each stage will have a unique arena design and will be accessible if you clear the previous one. Also, a weapon (a steel bar) will be provided at the center that any player can pick up.
Since this is a full-out brawl, it is better to reposition yourself each second. At the same time, remember to stay away from the edges, as a simple push from any other player will throw you off the cliff and lead to your demise.
If possible, try to communicate with other players and have 1v1 fights with them. Otherwise, you can also gang up on a single player to proceed further. While fighting, quickly understand the powers of the other player and adapt to them.
Try to push players off the ledge more than actual fighting, as the rule is to eliminate a player, not take them down. If you follow all these points, you will survive all the rounds and will be declared the winner at the end. In case there are multiple survivors, the prize pool will be distributed among yourselves.
