The Level Up with OLIPOP event in SpongeBob Tower Defense challenges players to complete a multi-stage questline across Story, Challenge, Raid, Boss Battle, and Rogue game modes. Finishing these objectives yields event-exclusive OLIPOP sodas, currencies, and five Relic Pieces required to unlock the Exotic Prehistoric Gary unit and the Haunted House Boat mount.
Based on community playthrough documentation and wiki event data, the quest chains must be completed in sequential order. Below is the complete breakdown of every quest category, stage requirement, and verified reward.
Event Overview and Core Rewards
The collaboration event was introduced alongside OLIPOP's Pineapple Paradise soda and the SpongeBob SquarePants movie campaign. Players progress through five distinct game modes to gather Relic Pieces (represented by unique OLIPOP soda cans). Once all five pieces are collected, players speak with the event NPC in the hub to redeem the grand prizes:
- Exotic Unit: Prehistoric Gary (a serialized unit featuring special abilities and upgrade paths with Secret Formula and Sea Bear buffs)
- Mount: Haunted House Boat
- Event Currencies & Items: Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, and Secret OLIPOP Sodas, alongside standard Gems, Coins, and Crates
In addition to in-game rewards, the initial event launch included a limited real-world promotion where the first 500 daily eligible players submitting completed quest codes received a physical OLIPOP 4-pack voucher through official redemption channels.
Story Mode Quests
The Story Mode phase requires completing specific chapter sets. While initial game versions set the requirement to Davy Jones difficulty, updates adjusted the Story Mode requirement to Nightmare difficulty to make the opening track more accessible.
| Quest Step | Objective | Difficulty | Confirmed Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Story Stage 1 | Complete 5 Chapters in Conch Street | Nightmare (originally Davy Jones) | 10,000 Coins, 25 Rare OLIPOP Sodas |
| Story Stage 2 | Complete 5 Chapters in Krusty Krab | Nightmare (originally Davy Jones) | 5,000 Gems, 50 Rare OLIPOP Sodas |
| Story Stage 3 | Complete 5 Chapters in Sandy's Tree Dome | Davy Jones / Nightmare | Progression toward Relic Piece |
| Story Stage 4 | Complete Chapter 10 of Rock Bottom | Davy Jones / Nightmare | First Relic Piece claimed |
Players must clear these story chapters in sequential order before the Challenge Mode quest tab becomes available.
Challenge Mode Quests
Challenge Mode tasks require beating rotating challenges on Davy Jones difficulty. Because challenge maps rotate on a timer, players must wait for the designated stage to appear in the active playlist.
- Christmas Conch Street: Clear the challenge on Davy Jones difficulty. Rewards 1,000 Challenge Tokens and 25 Epic OLIPOP Sodas.
- Patty Vault: Wait for rotation and clear on Davy Jones difficulty. Rewards 10 Challenger Crates and 50 Epic OLIPOP Sodas.
- Flying Dutchman's Ship: Clear on Davy Jones difficulty upon rotation.
- Goo Lagoon: Clear on Davy Jones difficulty to finish the challenge bracket and secure the second Relic Piece.
Raid Quests
Raid quests shift the challenge to dedicated Raid encounters on Davy Jones difficulty, testing team compositions and multiplayer coordination.
- Mermalair Raid: Clear on Davy Jones difficulty. Rewards 2,500 Golden Spatulas and 25 Legendary OLIPOP Sodas.
- Bubble Bowl Raid: Clear on Davy Jones difficulty. Rewards 5,000 Gems and 50 Legendary OLIPOP Sodas.
- Dunces and Dragons Raid: Clear on Davy Jones difficulty when active in rotation.
- Co-op Raid: Complete any Raid stage on Davy Jones difficulty in a team with two or more players. Finishing this final step awards the third Relic Piece.
Boss Battle Quests
The Boss Battle track requires achieving 3-star clears on Tier V world bosses. These stages enforce specific team building and clear time restrictions.
| Boss Target | Clear Conditions | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Tier V Bubble Bass | 3-Star run: Defeat in under 3 minutes using Rare or lower rarity units | 10,000 Gems, 25 Mythical OLIPOP Sodas |
| Tier V Dirty Bubble | 3-Star run: Defeat in under 3 minutes using Rare or lower rarity units | 100,000 Coins, 50 Mythical OLIPOP Sodas |
| Tier V DoodleBob | 3-Star run: Defeat under time threshold using Rare or lower rarity units | Fourth Relic Piece progression |
| Tier V Flying Dutchman | 3-Star run: Clear with Epic or lower rarity units | Fourth Relic Piece claimed |
For the Rare-only requirements, players rely on fully upgraded low-rarity units with high attack speed or support buffs to meet the three-minute damage benchmark.
Rogue Mode Quests
The final quest chain takes place in Rogue mode, requiring deep survival runs and specific modifier handicaps.
- Reach Wave 150: Survive through wave 150 in a standard Rogue run. Rewards 5 Rogue Crates and 25 Secret OLIPOP Sodas.
- Reach Wave 300: Reach wave 300 in Rogue. Rewards 10 Rogue Crates and 50 Secret OLIPOP Sodas.
- Wave 300 (Secret or Lower): Reach wave 300 using only Secret units or lower rarities.
- Wave 300 with 4 Cursed Cards: Reach wave 300 while carrying at least four active Cursed Cards selected during the run.
Clearing the four-curse wave 300 challenge awards the fifth and final Relic Piece.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I complete the OLIPOP quests in any order?
No. Recorded playthrough data confirms that quests must be unlocked and cleared linearly by category, starting with Story Mode before progressing to Challenges, Raids, Bosses, and Rogue mode.
What rarity is Prehistoric Gary?
Prehistoric Gary is classified as an Exotic unit. In player testing, the unit dropped with unique serial numbering and can be upgraded to level 50 with enhancements from Secret Formula and Sea Bear.
Do I have to play Davy Jones difficulty for Story quests?
While originally set to Davy Jones difficulty, developer updates reduced the Story Mode requirement to Nightmare difficulty, allowing players to clear Conch Street, Krusty Krab, and subsequent maps without the higher difficulty penalty. Raids and Challenges remain locked to Davy Jones difficulty.
