## 💀 Hard Mode Has Entered the Expedition
Think you know expeditions? **Hard Mode** is here to test that!
The themes are the ones you already know , **Volcanic, Ocean, Forest, and Ice Tundra** and more, but don't let that fool you. Hard Mode shakes up what you can expect from each run in a couple of key ways:
* **Poll rewards have been boosted** : the payoff for pushing through is now bigger and better
* **New and different rewards** may start appearing that you won't find in a standard run
Same world. Higher stakes. Are you up for it?
***
### What Awaits at the End of Your Run
Every expedition has a final room and now it comes with something worth fighting for
At the end of your run, you'll get the chance to walk away with **new and improved rewards**. What you get is down to RNG, so every run has a different story to tell. Best of luck out there!
And one more thing before you go...
{% hint style="danger" icon="exclamation" %}
#### When selecting your legendary you won't see if its shiny or not, we didn't wanted to ruin the surprise for you! Complete your run on the expedition to find out at the end if you legendary is Shiny!
