As Etheron [terrorizes](https://mirror.xyz/0x6B87AbC02Fc4E2406219C69ecE0280ca39476b31/flj3TLtY-0mtkuwHj46Cr-7bEf6JuCV85zT-Ok09kSY) the degens and DAOnizens of Web3, a small cadre of NFT collectors have devised a plan that just might be able to stop him. The dragon’s NFT-consuming breath is too much for any single degen to handle, but by joining forces, the Heroes of the MetaDungeon could become a suitable match.

How to Become a Hero of the MetaDungeon
=======================================

The first thing you should do if you’d like to take your chances against Etheron is sign up for the [mintlist](https://form.typeform.com/to/u2RioRYq) before it closes! It only takes one minute.

On Mint Day, you’ll be able to choose from a variety of Heroes you can recruit.

By Race:

*   Humans
    
*   Elves
    
*   Orcs
    
*   Dwarves
    

By Class

*   Warrior
    
*   Mage
    
*   Hunter
    
*   Paladin
    

How to Use Your Hero
====================

1.  Once you own a Hero NFT you’ll be able to enter the MetaDungeon by visiting the [website](http://meta-dungeon.io).
    
2.  Team up with fellow Heroes through [Discord](https://discord.gg/ghjKrSts) or by selecting from a pool of addresses on the MetaDungeon website. You and your teammates will have the option to self-identify and coordinate via Twitter.
    
3.  While the dragon will be transferring himself to random Hero-holding wallets, you’ll be able to use an NFT as bait and summon him for a fight if he hasn’t transferred himself to your own wallet most recently.
    
4.  You’ll also be able to get power-ups by holding NFTs from selected projects in your wallet. These will improve your odds of beating Etheron.
    

Introducing Player vs. Blockchain
=================================

Minting Heroes is the first step in experiencing Player vs. Blockchain (PvB), a new collaborative game genre introduced with MetaDungeon. PvB is a Web3-native take on classic Player vs. Environment (PvE) games where players band together to fight a non-playable character (NPC).

MetaDungeon has turned the blockchain into a playable environment where NFTs take on a life of their own. Among many things, these autonomous NFTs (aNFTs) can take the form of monsters like Etheron, the first automated NPC (aNPC) boss.

Get more information on [how to summon, fight, and slay Etheron](https://mirror.xyz/0x6B87AbC02Fc4E2406219C69ecE0280ca39476b31) once he hatches out of his bear-market-hardened egg.

_PvB, aNFTs, aNPCs, and a number of other new Web3 features are possible thanks to Autonomy’s new technology for automating smart contract transactions._
