Tun is an NPC that is found in various places. In most worlds, she may be found in a hidden back area, selling items at a slight discount, and some very rare items like a Royal Jelly or a Plasma Cannon. She always appears on either 2-2 or 2-3 of both the Jungle and Volcana offering the player The Moon Challenge for 10,000 gold, in which the player can find Hou Yi's bow. She appears again in 4-2 offering the player The Star Challenge for 25,000 gold, which rewards the player either the Clone Gun or an Elixer, if they went to the Tide pool or Temple respectively. She is next found at the very top of Tiamat's Throne, where she guards the exit for the Spelunker. Once at the top, she will greet the player by saying, "Reborn, you've done well to reach this place." Finally, Tun is last found at Sunken City, in either 7-1 or 7-2. She offers The Sun Challenge for 50,000 gold, which could cost your life, according to Tun. In The Sun Challenge, you are placed in a battle arena, and you must survive for 30 seconds from a selection of monsters. If you succeed, you are given a bag with 12 ropes and bombs, as well as the Arrow of Light, which, when fired with Hou Yi's Bow, is used to reach the Cosmic Ocean by shooting Hundun's eye after defeating him. If angered she will pursue the player similar to a Shopkeeper and uses a bow holding poisoned arrows. If you get hit by one, you will be given the poison effect.

Moon Challenge

Tun will offer the player the Moon Challenge, for 10,000 gold in 2-2 or 2-3, where the player is given a mattock and a four-leaf clover and allowed to dig up as much treasure as possible before the mattock breaks. In the challenge, you can find Hou Yi's Bow, which is one of the requirements to access the Cosmic Ocean. The Moon Challenge is filled with gems and crates frequently allowing the player to recuperate the upfront cost.

Note: The moon challenge frequently has scorpions spawn within its caverns

Tun's shop acts the same way as the shopkeepers, and she will accept golden idols if placed in her shop.

Stars Challenge

Tun will offer the player the stars challenge for 25,000 gold in 4-1 or 4-2, where the player is given a torch and a four-leaf clover and must light as many torches as possible. The player is given 30 seconds to complete this challenge. 1 torch will spawn at the beginning, 2 others will spawn somewhere else in the cave. A crossbow will also always spawn in the stars challenge. If all the torches are lit, the player will be given a different reward depending on whether they are in the Tide Pool, or the Temple of Anubis. Within the Tide Pool the player will be given the clone gun. If completed in the temple the player will be given an elixir which gives the player HP and cures any curse and/or poison effects.

Sun Challenge

Tun will offer the player the sun challenge for 50,000 gold in 7-1 or 7-2, where the player is put into a room with two enemy spawners and must survive for 30 seconds. The room contains various traps, such as forcefields and frog traps. Between two forcefields in the center of the room, the arrow of light will spawn on a platform. Once the player has survived the 30 seconds required, they will be allowed to leave the room, able to take the arrow of light with them, as well as recieving a bag with 12 ropes and bombs by the entrance.

Trivia
