# Hardcore

![Hardcore Role #10126](/files/8BiLVU1wMV6kKrePi6UY)

The Hardcore role is the second role that a Hero can earn in the game. This role is granted to those that have shown extreme skill in the game and are truly on the quest of greatness to attain the Mint of Destiny!

### How To Earn Hardcore

Just as there are no shortcuts in life, there are no shortcuts to reach the Mint of Destiny. You must have already defeated a [Minion](/tokens/villains/minion.md) and acquired the [n00b](/tokens/heroes/n00b.md) role to be able to attempt to win the Hardcore role. Once you have earned enough Rupeez, you can attempt to [/fight](/discord-bot/fight.md) a [Mini-Boss](/tokens/villains/mini-boss.md). If you are successful in defeating the [Mini-Boss](/tokens/villains/mini-boss.md), you will be granted the Hardcore role, a Hardcore Hero NFT, and the NFT of the [Mini-Boss](/tokens/villains/mini-boss.md) that you have defeated. There are only 2,500 Hardcore roles that can be minted. Here is where we begin to separate the Heroes from the zeros!

### Hardcore Discord Role

If you have made it to Hardcore, you are a true warrior, and the [Minting Godz](/about/minting-godz.md) have started paying attention to you! You will now have access to Discord channels that only those with the Hardcore role can view. You will receive private alpha to this game and others ahead of the n00bs and Lurkers!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.mintofdestiny.xyz/tokens/heroes/hardcore.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
