[[File:DO2-Phase-Winner-Trophy.png|thumb|172x172px|Phase Winner Trophy]]
With occasional specific exceptions, it is generally accepted that each stage of the game typically lasts a week, and there will be at least eight phases<ref>Tango Tek: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gus71HYHryo&t=102s Phase 4 Results for Decked Out are HERE! (0:01:42) - YouTube]</ref> in total (hermits will determine how many phases are necessary based on the pacing of the game and how much fun the players are still having). There will be separate scoring for each phase. As a result of that phase's standings, overall points will be awarded. In the end, the adventurer who has accumulated the most overall points on the [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Scoreboard|Scoreboard]] will be crowned the Decked Out 2 champion.

As you acquire [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]], your chances of beating your peers for 1st place increase. If you wish to be in a specific place, you do not need an exact number of [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]], but rather it scales up as all players submit a higher amount of their [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]]. As an example, the most [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]] submitted by a player during a phase is 9. Whether the player will submit 10 or 20 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]] does not matter, they will be in 1st position and receive 6 points.

The points in each phase are awarded based on [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]] submitted, as follows:

In every phase, adventurers will also receive [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Frozen Shards]]. Each phase begins with a "base number" of 8 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Frozen Shards]]. In addition, they will receive bonus shards based on how many [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]] they have accumulated since the game began: those who had lower standings will receive 6 bonus [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Frozen Shards]] to help them catch up the next phase. These bonus shards will continue to diminish up to the person who has acquired the most frost embers overall, who will not receive any bonus shards.

At the end of each phase, the game master will update the [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Scoreboard|Scoreboard]], award a [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Phase Winner Trophy]] to those who have collected the most [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]], and [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Gauntlet Survivor trophies]] to those who have survived the Gauntlet and entered the [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Secret Ultimate Victory Chamber|Secret Ultimate Victory Chamber]]. These trophies are based on a carved pumpkin block, it has features to wear as headwear or put on an armor stand.

===Phase 1===
''From September 9th, 2023, to September 16th, 2023''

The players received a starter deck named "Frozen Assets", which contained three [[Decked Out 2/Cards|cards]]: Moment of Clarity, Sneak, and Treasure Hunter. In addition, they received 10 [[Decked Out 2/Items|Frozen Shards]] and 3 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Crowns]].{{Notice|title=Note:|text=''A player's total number of Frozen Shards may vary from player to player, as the Hermits may receive extra Frozen Shards for various reasons and perks, mostly in exchange for helping out in some way with Decked Out 2. The amount of Frozen Shards is completely determined by the dungeon master. For example, FalseSymmetry received two additional Frozen Shards from TangoTek as a result of building the portal to Decked Out 2.''}}Phase 1 began with a Livestream Weekend from [[TangoTek]], in which he streamed for eight hours on Saturday, September 9, 2023, and five and a half hours on Sunday, September 10, 2023.

[[File:DO2-Phase-1-Winner-GoodTimesWithScar.png|thumb|Decked Out 2 Phase 1 Winner|196x196px]]
The 1st phase saw the Hermits delving into the first two levels of the dungeon and learning the mechanics as well as the dangers hidden within. For [[TangoTek]], the phase was filled with keeping track of mechanics that might be broken, or need slight adjustments. First Hermit to enter the dungeon was [[GoodTimesWithScar]] and the first one to make it out alive was [[EthosLab]]. 

At the very last minute, the dungeon master changed the distribution method of [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Frozen Shards]], so instead of counting their [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]] (which can be quite easily flawed because the Hermits can submit just one or two [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]] in a specific phase), their calculations are based on the amount of [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]] they have collected so far, which is monitored by the community.

The scoreboard and the winner of this phase were announced during TangoTek's livestream.<ref>Tango Tek2: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bNFrs-LcuI Phase 2 Begins! Trophies are Awarded! - YouTube]</ref>

===Phase 2===
''From September 17th, 2023, to September 23th, 2023''

According to a post on Hermitcraft's subreddit,<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/HermitCraft/comments/16kc520/comment/k0zqzmv/ PSA to Decked Out Players: Correct way to fully saturate yourself before entering the dungeon: r/HermitCraft - reddit.com]</ref> [[Grian]] and [[GoodTimesWithScar]] discovered that a Suspicious Stew can increase your saturation stats to their maximum level.<ref>Grian: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iHRLaZTTdk&t=793s Hermitcraft 9: Episode 48 - SUS STEW (13:13) - YouTube]</ref> Using this method can significantly reduce the time required to pick berry bushes and streamline the artifact hunting process. Their intention was to keep this information to themselves, so they slipped out at night and fetched a Brown Mooshroom Cow and hid it in the walls of the game. Only then do they discover that [[Xisumavoid]] provides a free re-saturating service<ref>xisumavoid: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAZnzaE1Nl4 Juicing Decked Out - X In Trouble? - Hermitcraft IX 1120 - YouTube]</ref> at the game entrance to all players free of charge.

During this phase, [[TangoTek]] responded to [[JoeHills|JoeHills']] question<ref>Tango Tek2: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Wn8grQRXs&t=1532s Clank Needs an Overhaul! Scar, Gem, Hypno, and Joe do Runs! (25:32) - YouTube]</ref> by saying that in-game items can be traded with other players as long as they are traded between in-game items and are not traded for other currencies.

===Phase 3===
''From September 24th, 2023, to September 30th, 2023''

[[TangoTek]] introduced<ref>Tango Tek2: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajydw4rrBwY Phase 3 Starting Now! Score Updates and Shards Distributed! - YouTube]</ref> three changes and new definitions of the rules of the game during the distribution of points of [[Decked Out 2/Game#Phase 2|Phase 2]], as a result of different methods of play that he observed during [[Decked Out 2/Game#Phase 2|Phase 2]], giving players substantial advantages over other participants:

# It is acceptable to enter the dungeon, use the berry bush at the entrance, and eat some food like a Cooked Porkchop or a Golden Carrot ''(which has good hunger restoration and saturation levels)'', however, the system must not be abused with maximum saturation using science, with a known amount of Suspicious Stews or Honey Bottles.  
#*Hermits have pointed out to [[TangoTek]] that this change may lead to differences between players when entering the dungeon, but he prefe<nowiki/>rs it that way. [[TangoTek]] will gladly provide the players with the food they need.
#There is a limit to the amount of [[Decked Out 2/Items#Treasure|Treasure]] and [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]] that can be retrieved from a single level per dungeon run. Considering it is quite high, most players will not reach it. Yet, without this limitation, they would be able to camp within the levels. [[TangoTek]] claims it will encourage players to explore deeper into the dungeon, meaning there is a linear relationship between the depth of a level and the rate at which [[Decked Out 2/Items#Treasure|Treasure]] and [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]] will be dropped. According to him, even though there is a chance that you will not receive a key because of this new limitation, it is a chance of <sup>1</sup>/<sub>350,000</sub>, which makes it ''extremely'' unlikely.
#*In response to [[Hypnotizd|Hypnotizd's]] question, [[TangoTek]] clarified that once you draw a card from your deck containing [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]], they will queue up, but if you reach the maximum drop limit of a level, they will not be distributed until the next one below.
#*Hypnotizd later verified<ref>Hypnotizd: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhpKMe9tQ7A&t=272s The Biggest Hiding Spot in Decked Out 2? - HermitCraft 9 - E38 (04:32) - YouTube]</ref> that upon hitting the maximum amount, the map will still count down, but nothing further will be dispensed.
#One change to the [[Decked Out 2/Cards#Uncommon Cards (Green)|Reckless Charge]] card: you now have ''only'' 8 seconds to trigger a Skulk Shrieker instead of the previous 12.

[[TangoTek]] also clarified, in response to [[BdoubleO100|BdoubleO100's]] question, that each item in the post-run [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Frost Ember Shop|Frost Ember Shop]] can only be purchased once, as well as [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]]. For example, if you have 37 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]], you can purchase one [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tome]] ''(for 10 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]])'' and three [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]] ''(for 27 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]])'', but you cannot purchase one [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tome]] three times.

Those players who have not used up their entire pool of [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Frozen Shards]] at this point will receive half as many [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Frozen Shards]] as they should have: 7 instead of 14 shards, for a total of up to 20 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Frozen Shards]], so inactive players cannot stack them.

In phase 3, the players discovered that after hitting max clank, a few water pillars would emerge from the ceiling of [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 1: “The Frozen Crypt”|Level 1]], making escaping the Vexes even more challenging. From the minor changes [[TangoTek]] mentioned at the beginning of this phase, this is probably the most significant one.[[File:DO2-Hypno-Coming-Soon-Shhh.png|thumb|"Coming Soon! Shhhhh"]]
During [[Hypnotizd]] 30th run,<ref>Hypnotizd: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhpKMe9tQ7A&t=1734s The Biggest Hiding Spot in Decked Out 2? - HermitCraft 9 - E38 (28:54) - YouTube]</ref> he discovered a secret area near the [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Old Pirate Ship|Old Pirate Ship]] with a sign stating: "Coming Soon! Shhhhh". [[TangoTek]] then advised [[Hypnotizd]] to visit the area once it is established in the future. ''This could be a potential location for the Black Market.''

===Phase 4===
''From October 1st, 2023, to October 14th, 2023''

[[TangoTek]] mentioned<ref>Tango Tek2: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkU0cCU56TE Starting Phase 4 of Decked Out! Phase 3 Winners Announced! - YouTube]</ref> that he will be on vacation from Thursday, 5 October, until Monday, 9 October. The dungeon will be closed during this time, and will be reopened on Tuesday morning, October 10, once he returns, since the game itself requires close supervision and management of the complicated Redstone and the various mobs, which occasionally die.

This phase will take place over a period of two weeks, giving the hermits a total nine days of gameplay. For this phase, [[TangoTek]] gave a few extra shards to compensate for the extra-long time, so the 'base number' of shards will be 9, instead of the previous 8, and the 'bonus shards' will be spread out between 0-8 instead of the usual maximum 6.

Due to [[TangoTek|TangoTek's]] personal commitment to the game and the great anticipation of the viewers, he updates the viewers on the changes that are taking place. On [[TangoTek|TangoTek's]] social accounts, he stated<ref>TangoTek on X: [https://twitter.com/TangoTekLP/status/1713662593615946054 "The timing of everything is so very bad right now."] (twitter.com)</ref> that phase 5 will be delayed for several days because "everything is so bad right now. Important recording tomorrow afternoon, TwitchCon this week...".

===Phase 5 ===
''From October 24th, 2023 to October 30th, 2023''

On October 18 [[TangoTek]] announced that the dungeon would not reopen until the day after 2023 TwitchCon Las Vegas as he participates in it, and that there would be major changes to [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 3: “The Black Mines”|Level 3]], and some new additional content would be added. Moreover, he states that some of the rarest cards, as well as some of the less common ones, will be subject to price adjustments in a future phase.

There were many changes during this time off:
* The dungeon:
**[[Decked Out 2/Systems#Aggro-net|Aggro-net]] temporarily disabled.
**[[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 1: “The Frozen Crypt”|Level 1]]: 
***Right staircase to the Crypt Foyer requires a U-Turn instead of being a normal corner.
***Some of the berry bushes have been removed.
**[[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 2: “The Caves of Carnage”|Level 2]]:
***Much more lava in the Lava Caverns.
***Shortcut from the Spore Forest to the Pirate Ship.
**[[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 3: “The Black Mines”|Level 3]]:
***Over 150 pressure plates were added, which generates Warden vibrations.
***New ambient sounds were added.
***After the player reaches max [[Decked Out 2/Systems#Clank|Clank]], any new [[Decked Out 2/Systems#Clank|Clank]] will send a signal throughout the whole [[Decked Out 2/Systems#Aggro-net|Aggro-net]] system, making it much more lethal.

*[[Decked Out 2/Areas#Crown Shop|Crown Shop]]: 
**Ethereal cards cost 2 crowns (previously 3).
**Random Key (Level Key) cost 2 crowns (previously 4).
**The Dungeon Master Lackey Coupon comes with the Dungeon Lackey card, provided personally by TangoTek.

*The game has been customized to fit the Halloween theme:
**Animated sequences at the [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Dungeon Entrance|entrance to the dungeon]] featuring a pumpkin in the middle of the door, following with flames visible through the carving.
** Ravagers now have custom skins, with pumpkin-skinned faces and skeleton-like bodies.
**There is a new treasure drop called Halloween Pumpkin.
** A new Halloween 'Trick or Treat House' has been added to the side of the Spore Forest, which trades a Halloween Pumpkin for either a trick or a treat. Treats might include a Cooked Porkchop, [[Decked Out 2/Items#Treasure|Treasure]], and [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]]. The game will generate two [[Decked Out 2/Systems#Clank|Clank]] if you are tricked.

===Phase 6===
''From October 30th, 2023, to November 7th, 2023''

According to [[TangoTek]], he has made a few changes based on the different ways of playing he observed in the previous phases: 

*All [[Decked Out 2/Cards#Rare Cards (Blue)|rare cards]] are 4 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]] cheaper.

*[[Decked Out 2/Cards#Uncommon Cards (Green)|Suit Up]] now does not include a resistance beacon buff.
*[[Decked Out 2/Cards#Rare Cards (Blue)|Eyes On The Prize]] negative effects (+2 [[Decked Out 2/Systems#Clank|Clank]], +3 [[Decked Out 2/Systems#Hazard|Hazard]]) were removed, leaving its slot within the deck as the only penalty.
*[[Decked Out 2/Cards#Crown Shop Cards (Gold)|Tactical Approach]] now blocks 5 [[Decked Out 2/Systems#Clank|Clank]] and gives 5 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Treasure|Treasure]] drops, instead of the previous fours.
*Each [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Ember]] drop location has a 40% chance to drop an ember, up from previously 33%.

In addition, he gave some clues about the missing [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Easter Egg Monument|easter eggs]]:

*[[Grian|Grian's]] egg: everyone knows its location, now it's just a matter of finding its block.
*[[GoodTimesWithScar|GoodTimeWithScar's]] and [[ZombieCleo|ZombieCleo's]] easter eggs are both on Level 3 ↑↑.

Through hermit runs, we discover some traps have gotten harder to pass through once activated, all the missing [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Easter Egg Monument|easter eggs]] have been found, and mid-phase, a third Warden, named "Pancakes", has been added to Level 3.

[[TangoTek]] announced on his social media<ref>TangoTek on X: [https://twitter.com/TangoTekLP/status/1720963578185072923 "Seems like this is a pattern now, but... "] (twitter.com)</ref> on November 5 that the next phase wouldn't begin until Tuesday, November 7, when the [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|4th level]] of the dungeon will finally be revealed.

===Phase 7===
''From November 7th, 2023, to November 17th, 2023''

Phase 7 brought the largest change to the dungeon since its release:

*Official opening of [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|Level 4: The Burning Dark]]
** The layout of Level 4 is a maze based on Pac-Man.
**3 new Wardens named after the Pac-Man ghosts: "Inky", "Blinky", and "Pinky".
**New animation to the entrance door (Deepfrost blue colored).
**New ambient sound effects.
*Game Difficulties:
**Deepfrost difficulty is now available, which has a 100% chance of finding level 4 artifacts.
**Deadly difficulty now has a <sup>1</sup>/<sub>8</sub> chance to give a level 4 artifact location.
*[[Decked Out 2/Areas#Crown Shop|Crown Shop]]:
**[[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Frozen Shards]] now costs 10 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Crowns]] instead of the previous 8.
*[[Decked Out 2/Cards|Cards]]:
**<s>Stumble now shuffles to the top of the cards deck instead of the bottom. Since Stumble is placed at the top of the deck every two minutes, if the player does not play cards that affect their deck, every fourth card is a guaranteed Stumble, regardless of how many cards they possess.</s>
**The Card Shuffler was completely remade, and the dungeon reopened on the second day of the phase.<ref>Tango Tek: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrAHEaGKLjQ Burning Dark Runs! Brand New Card Shuffler! - YouTube]</ref> Stumble no longer has priority following heavy backlash.
***Whenever a card is played, it will now reshuffle all other cards in the deck. This means that Stumble will not be placed near the back of the deck consistently, and may reshuffle itself to the front of the deck.
**Cards with Quickdraw have been changed to instead reinsert the next cards drawn.
**The cards Evasion, Tread Lightly, Loot & Scoot, Frost Focus, Second Wind, Beast Sense, and Bounding Strides are now permanently available, and do not need to be drawn randomly.
**TangoTek announced that Haste will be scrapped and replaced with a brand new card in Phase 8. Anyone who owns the card will be given the new card once the phase begins.

Due to Phase 7's many big changes, many things were tested during gameplay and needed to be fixed on the fly, making it difficult for [[TangoTek]] to complete everything in a short amount of time.

[[Cubfan135]] is the first to complete a [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|level 4]] run.<ref>Cubfan135: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aelx3oe4syQ&t=3148s Hermitcraft 9 Extras: Decked Out Phase 7 (Runs 3-7) (0:52:28) - YouTube]</ref> Although he finds the artifact's location, it has been dropped into a soul fire, making it disappear. Due to the supervised run by [[TangoTek]], he could get help immediately and figure out what went wrong. We now know where [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|level 4's]] exit is thanks to this run.

On the last day of the phase, [[PearlescentMoon]] obtained a mysterious item called "The Bomb" from a tower in [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|Level 4: The Burning Dark]]. Its usage is currently unknown, but it has been implied that it is used to open a special door in [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|level 4]], and stated that it was not supposed to be available yet.

===Phase 8===
''November 17th, 2023 to December 2nd, 2023 ''

The card to replace Haste was revealed to be Pirate's Booty. "There's a little surprise once this card is getting played", [[TangoTek]] mentioned. Once played, it drops one of the following cards on the pirate ship in [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 2: “The Caves of Carnage”|Level 2: "The Caves of Carnage"]]: Moment of Clarity, Porkchop Power, Tactical Approach or Pay To Win. The dropped card can only be kept if you escape with an artifact.

During [[TangoTek|TangoTek's]] absence from November 19 to 24, the dungeon will be closed.

==== Guests play Decked Out event====
The Hermitcraft community held a special event on November 18, 2023,<ref>TangoTek on X: [https://twitter.com/TangoTekLP/status/1724457168307446118 This Saturday we are inviting 6 special guests onto Hermitcraft for one day to experience Decked Out!] (twitter.com)</ref> where six members had the chance to play Decked Out 2 under the supervision of other hermits. Each guest got to play with their "mentor's" deck.

====Announcing the end of the game====
Decked Out 2 has been such a sensation since its launch that most of the Hermits' content has been about it. As a result of the constant element of surprise and frequent updates, the game has attracted a large following. With time, we see fewer and fewer active participants in the game and a desire to continue engaging in new content and promoting other projects.

On November 28, [[TangoTek]] announced [[Decked Out 2/Game#Phase 9|Phase 9]] will be the final phase of Decked Out 2.<ref>Tango Tek2: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nYTmWV80Tw&t=2940s Huge Decked Out Announcement! (0:49:00) - YouTube]</ref> Any future content that was planned, including [[Decked Out 2/Areas#The Forge|The Forge]] and Legendary Cards, and future "DLCs" planned will cease to exist. Later on, he revealed some never-to-be-revealed secrets, shared his thoughts and some of his plans for the game's future during [[Decked Out 2/Game#Post-game Streams|a few streams]] he made for the fans of the game.

=== Prizes ===
In recognition of their achievement, each of the three winners received a card that was uniquely their own.

In [[TangoTek's Season 9: Episode 53|TangoTek's episode 53]] he gave [[EthosLab]] a monument/shrine.<ref>Tango Tek: [https://youtu.be/V4X86ZiL7d8?t=655 Decked Out Winner and Map Reveal! (10:55) - YouTube]</ref> This is in tribute (and in a way a tradition) to the monument erected when [[Decked Out#Prize|he won the first Decked Out of Hermitcraft Season 7]].

== Beating Decked Out 2==
During competitive gameplay, [[PearlescentMoon]] was the first to solve all the riddles, mysteries, and extra stuff on [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|level 4]], making her the first to beat Decked Out 2. Later, she uploaded a special episode<ref>PearlescentMoon: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8r0QHzwgWY How I BEAT Decked Out - YouTube]</ref> that explains how she did it:

#[[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|Level 4]] features, among other things, high tendrils (or: "sculk veins", as [[TangoTek]] calls them). There are signs at the top of [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|Level 4's]] tendrils that state: "Hide from Camera/Stream!", which means that no hermit could show it was up on their camera. Nine tendrils in total contain a secret, each containing an item to be discovered and noted:
## '''D'''irt (block).
## '''E'''gg.
##'''E'''nder Chest.
##'''F'''ire Charge.
##'''O'''range Dye.
##'''P'''otato.
##'''R'''espawn Anchor.
##'''S'''nowball.
##'''T'''orch.
#There are five towers on [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Level 4: "The Burning Dark"|level 4]]. For every [[Decked Out 2/Areas#Dungeon Entrance|Deep Frost difficulty]] run, [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|The Bomb]] item will be spawned as soon as [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|the key to unlock level 4]] is entered in one of those five towers. It is the player's responsibility to determine which tower contains [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|The Bomb]] before 5 minutes have passed (6,000 in-game ticks, despawn time).
#[[File:DO2-Level-4-Basalt-Door.png|thumb|The Basalt Door]]Once the player has located it, they must take it to the Basalt Door located at the far end of the floor. By placing [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|The Bomb]] in a {{MC|Barrel|barrel}} at the front of this door, an explosion will take place and the door will be opened.
#*The player will be rewarded with a large amount of [[Decked Out 2/Items#Treasure|Treasure]] and [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]] every time the door is opened (regenerated and closed after each run).
#*[[File:DO2-Because-you-are-the-first-Barrel.png|thumb|"Because you are the first..." barrel]]Extra rewards were contained in the {{MC|Barrel|barrel}} on the floor for the first person to open the big Basalt Door:
#**a paper entitled "Because you are the first...".
#**5 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Victory Tomes]].
#**15 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]].[[File:DO2-Level-4-Magma-Blocks-path.png|thumb|Magma Blocks path]]
#This room also contains a {{MC|Button|button}} labeled "The Hideout" off to the side. On activation, a {{MC|Sticky Piston|sticky piston}} is triggered on the side of a circular platform, close to the door. By pulling down with it a {{MC|Block of Netherite|block of netherite}}, a path of {{MC|Magma Block|magma blocks}} is then exposed.
#*Upon entering the circular platform, the player can notice a {{MC|Wooden Pressure Plate#Warped|warped pressure plate}}, which activates a timed mechanism.
#*A player must sprint through a magma path (while taking damage and making a lot of noise to all nearby {{MC|Warden|wardens}}) once the {{MC|Wooden Pressure Plate#Warped|warped pressure plate}} is triggered.
#[[File:DO2-Dungeon-Master-Hideout.png|thumb|The Dungeon Master Hideout]]An ice tunnel can be accessed at the end of the path if the player is quick enough. 
#*Within the ice tunnel, there is an {{MC|Iron Door|iron door}} labeled "Dungeon Master Hideout" that contains a key in an item frame.
#**It is the [[Decked Out 2/Items#Artifacts|The Master's Key]]: the highest [[Decked Out 2/Items#Artifacts|artifact]] one can obtain during a dungeon run, valued at 60 [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]].
#**"What could it possibly open?" is also its lure.
#**On the opposite side of the door, is accompanied by a {{MC|Barrel|barrel}} in which an item can be placed.
# [[File:DO2-Pearl-Inside-Dungeon-Master-Hideout.png|thumb|[[PearlescentMoon]] enters the Dungeon Master Hideout]]Upon finding [[Decked Out 2/Items#Artifacts|The Master's Key]] as the run's [[Decked Out 2/Items#Artifacts|artifact]], the player may proceed through the ice tunnel and place the key in the {{MC|Barrel|barrel}}.
#*The {{MC|Iron Door|iron door}} opens and reveals a small room featuring:
#**On the top of the front wall, where the iron door is located, there is a {{MC|Button|button}} (to exit the room).
#**On the left wall are three inoperative<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8r0QHzwgWY&lc=UgzGBAcpRVw0DcRH7ad4AaABAg PearlescentMoon: How I BEAT Decked Out (comment) - YouTube]</ref> {{MC|Lever|levers}} labeled:[[File:DO2-Decked-Out-Champion-Explorer.png|thumb|Decked Out Explorer Champion!]]
#***Etho Mode
#***Hypno Mode
#***Gem Mode -=NO KEYS =-
#**[[File:DO2-Pearl-Decked-Out-Explorer-Champion.png|thumb|Decked Out Explorer Champion crown worn by [[PearlescentMoon]]|235x235px]]A {{MC|Barrel|barrel}} containing [[Decked Out 2/Items#Frost Embers|Frost Embers]] is located opposite it, on the right wall.
#**[[Decked Out 2/Items#Artifacts|The Master's Key]] is then dropped on the center floor of the room.
#**There is a custom modeled {{MC|Warden|Warden}} on the back wall, a small shelf with a ravager's head and a {{MC|Soul Lantern|soul lantern}}, and a {{MC|Lectern|lectern holding a written book}} with seven pages that reads: 
#**#"High within the sculk veins
#**#Nine items are to be found
#**#Each contributes to an anagram
#**#Present to me, the dungeon master, in private
#**#At the highest point of the Citadel
#**#This word you have deciphered
#**#And the crown shall be yours".
#A player who determines the anagram is '''Deep Frost''' may then present their answer to [[TangoTek]], the dungeon's master, and receive their glory crown: [[Decked Out 2/Items#Custom Items|Decked Out Explorer Champion!]]

A team of fans created a google spreadsheet<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQrXRcKhaXrVDsUs9rcnfCSTC3K-9Q_D8Cidl4IP4rUcPeiSSNxU2fv7eHce4F_EXHZM7RJCTcSbS_b/pubhtml# DO2 Tracking (The Dungeon Archive) / Guest View - Google Drive]</ref> that tracked all player data in detail during the game's runtime and updated it in real-time. These sheets provide detailed information on every player and mob in the game, including but not limited to links to player runs, decks, easter eggs finding locations, statistics, and prediction of victory chances.

As a reliable source and with widespread participation, [[TangoTek]] himself calculated the shard distributions to the next phases by using the various statistics and functions found in it.
