# Elite Monsters

In Exordion, the system of **Elite Monsters** adds more excitement and challenge to your hunts. After defeating a regular monster, **there is a chance a special portal will appear**, summoning a much more powerful creature: the **Elite Monster**.

***

### ⚔️ How does it work?

* **When defeating regular monsters**, there is a chance to open an **Elite Portal**.
* This portal **summons a stronger monster**, which offers **more experience and better rewards**.
* You will have **10 minutes to defeat it** — otherwise, it will automatically disappear.
* The **Elite Monsters** also **count more toward your Tasks** and **drop items with higher Item Power**.
* **They drop orb fragments** to upgrade items.

### 🌌 Types of Portals and Elite Monster Levels

There are **three types of portals**, each related to a difficulty level of the creature that will appear:
