Story Run: Cradle of Darkness

"Where is this place? The stars...Are they showing me this for a reason?"

- Starfruit Cookie Story Run: Cradle of Darkness is a special event in Cookie Run: OvenBreak. It began on April 6th, 2021, and coincided with the addition of Dark Enchantress Cookie's Magic Candy and Combi Pet, Eternal Eye of Darkness. By completing stages in this event, players could unlock the Cradle of Darkness cutscenes.

Gameplay Details
"Face off against the Cookies of Darkness in this exciting new chapter in Story Run! Run to earn rewards and learn about a grand and evil scheme!"

Similarly to Story Run, Cradle of Darkness consists of 5 special stages. Each stage has one main mission that involves reaching a certain score in a single run, and two sub-missions that can only be cleared if the main mission is cleared as well. Completing the main mission allows the player to proceed to the next Stage. If all 3 missions within a Stage are cleared, Magic Ingredient pouches on that Stage will have better chances to have particular Ingredients inside them.

Playing a Stage cost 3 Tickets. Tickets refill at a rate of one every 30 minutes, up to a maximum of 30.

In each Stage, a particular "Cookie of Darkness" will appear, launching attacks and creating obstacles. They can be attacked only by collecting certain items that appear in the Stage:


 * Arrow Jellies: A light-themed arrow that is immediately fired.
 * Bomb Jellies: A black bomb with a skull symbol. Its fuse takes a few seconds to burn down before it is lobbed, unless the player collides with an obstacle.
 * Laser Jellies: Three crystals that, when collected, fire a long salvo of energy shots. Visually similar to the crystal jellies in Chapter 9 of Lost City of Sugarteara.

Attacking the Cookie of Darkness causes them to drop Crimson Coins, which can be spent in the Cradle of Darkness Shop. Additional reward options in the Shop are unlocked as Stages are cleared. Running with certain Cookies, Pets, and Treasures increased the amount of Crimson Coins earned at the end of the stage.

Master Mode
Completing all 3 of a stage's missions (the main mission and both sub-missions) unlocks Master Mode for that Stage. In Master Mode, Energy drain is disabled, but colliding with an obstacle or falling into a hole will immediately end the run Cookie, Pet, and Treasure effects are unavailable. There are 3 missions in Master Mode; the main mission is to reach the end of the level, while the two sub-mission involve reaching a specific score. Once all three Master Mode missions are completed, the player's scores may be granted entry into the Hall of Fame.
