Victor Lionfang and his Paladins of the Golden Onslaught are in the Red Monastery. Continue your adventure and begin the search for the pieces of the Shattered Sword. If you’ve already done that, head to the Wastelands to enjoy the bonus content from this release!
Crag and Bamboozle Updates
Obtain the Pronged Ruin (stat weapon) from the dreaded Bull Fiend in the Wasteland. Bamboozle (the NPC) now offers a quest to upgrade the weapon to its stronger form: the Desolate Pronged Ruin. He also will give you a Corpse Eater pet in exchange for Decaying Morsels dropped in the Catacombs. He certainly drives a hard bargain. ..... Due to all of the issues, confusion, and some technical issues with the a la carte version of the "Crag in a Cart" pet (which does not contain any quests), it has been removed from the game. Any player who purchased the stand-alone version of this pet has automatically had the full price of 550 DragonCrystals refunded as of September 21st, 2022. We apologize for the confusion and back-and-forth over this unusual situation. If anyone wants the version of the pet with no quests returned to the game--please let us know as we are considering re-adding it to the a la carte shop with a clearer name and explanation that it does not contain quests.
The Crag in a Cart pet (bought with Collector’s Chest) opens the Nulgath Part 2 Collection Shop as well as giving access to additional Nulgath Part 2 quests. Just click on the pet when equipped to see these features. However, you must complete Part 2 of the saga to see the new quests.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes…
We received a lot of player feedback that the balancing in Nulgath Part 2 was an issue and that certain areas were too difficult. We made general balance changes and adjusted some boss fights to be easier on you. Drop rates also received some changes, as well as…
Phoenix Blade of Nulgath. We had devs monitoring this new type of quest following the release to see how it performed Live. The Phoenix Blade of Nulgath quests allowed players to complete it with minimal interaction with most of the Nulgath content, which ultimately felt wrong. Climbing Mount Everest feels a lot less rewarding when there is an elevator to the top. We needed the acquisition of the blade to feel like a worthy achievement. So… we made a hot-fix to change it.
We try not to do hot-fixes unless something is game-breaking. Our aim is always to communicate, at the very least through social media, when something is being changed. A lot of players were upset by this change due to lack of communication prior to the change and the feeling of effort wasted on now obsolete crafting materials. We will do better to communicate changes in the future, especially with content this important to the release.
For those who are concerned about their DragonCrystal earnings from ads… We have temporarily disabled ad watching as Unity investigates the issue on their end.

Nulgath Saga Part II
Level cap raised to 38 along with new story and 100+ quests
Hop in AdventureQuest 3D and join in our darkest new adventure. Victor Lionfang and his Paladins are ready to raid the Red Monastery. Will you the retrieve the pieces and pieces and assemble the Legendary Shattered Sword?
... and is it true that this legendary sword is powerful enough to slay Dage and his Undead Legion!? Only one way to find out.
Raid the Catacombs
The pieces of the Shattered Sword are hidden somewhere in the catacombs. It’s best to split up! (...right?) Join each Paladin of the Golden Onslaught through one of the catacombs to find the pieces and bring them back to Victor Lionfang. While Paladins aren’t afraid of the undead, with names like the Catacombs of Suffering and Path of Anguish, the catacombs will make them face the one thing they cannot escape... their own deepest fears.
Beware the Wasteland
Once all the pieces of the Shattered Sword are collected, they are still just pieces of a sword. Victor needs to find someone who can reforge a powerful magic weapon, and not just anyone will do. He might know where to find that someone… In the Wasteland where the ruins of a world long forgotten are scattered in the orange sands. It’s a vast and dangerous place, and Victor is getting impatient.
Meet Crag and Bamboozle
Crag is the Rock Friend, Bamboozle is the Sneevil in goggles You might have seen them in the Nulgath Part 2 Collection, and now they are in-game to help. Crag and Bamboozle are happy to point you in the right direction... for a price. But don't worry - their help will only cost you some rare and valuable items. Not your soul. Why would you even think that? If you're feeling bold, they have a few extra tasks you can do for a very special reward.
BONUS
The Nulgath Part 2 collection "Crag" has new functionality added to it. In addition to opening your collection when you click on it, it now also opens a large array of side-quests on the go, from the wasteland. Only the collection Pet opens the Quests. You must have finished Nulgath Part 2 for in order for you to access it.
Secret....
During this story you will meet a Blacksmith. He has a side quest for you to find the Pickaxe of Destiny... and become the Lord of Hard Rocks and Heavy Metals!
What Lies Ahead...
Victor is certain that he will be able to defeat Dage with the full power of the reforged sword, but you’re uncertain. Dage has a whole undead army and Victor only has a few Paladins. Is the sword really that powerful? What is the true source of the power in the sword? And what does any of this have to do with Nulgath??
Helpful Hints
Most of the catacombs allow up to 5 players per instance during the storyline, even in the boss fight. If you can’t defeat a monster alone, bring your party.
Interact with any NPC you come across in the Catacombs and Wasteland. They may have side quests OR they may have helpful hints on how best to engage in combat in that area. Or they may have a bit of lore to share.
Holy Spit Seed quest is now also on Paladin Everett Sunguard in Seleden Forest.

We really hope you enjoy this new story release. It is unquestionably the darkest release we have added to the game. The team worked really hard on it. Jongaar wrote new music for each area. There are new items from Thyton, Winnie, Dage, Xero. Korin created the cinematics for the climatic ending cutscene. Oh, once you have completed the main story, it will unlock challenging bonus side quests created by Sir Fainal, Clarion, and Memet.
We have more coming for you. As I write this we are currently working on side-quests and bonus challenge content for the newly released areas. Also we are getting close Samuarai Class. We are building an entire island and story for it. Then... prepare for the Artix Entertainment 20th Anniversary! Written by Beleen, it will be an anything goes release featuring a lot of the friends we have made along the way and hosted by one of the most iconic and appropriately "Mogloween" guests ever. Until then, see you in the catacombs...
Battle on! Artix, Glisel & the AdventureQuest 3D Team

Hedwig Hootenheim, the Battleon branch bank manager, has hired new staff to help at the bank! You can pay for the services of any, or all, of the moglin Bank Helpers or take Hootenheim’s excitable nephew off his hands.
Bank Helpers
Twilly, Twig, and surprisingly Zorbak, have been hired as Bank Helpers at the Battleon Bank. Now you can access the contents of your bank vaults from wherever you are. Each moglin is geared up with a backpack to store… or share?... the contents of your bank vault. Just give them a pat on the head and they’ll give you access.
What about Windsor?
Do an old bank manager a favor and take Windsor off his hands, will you? Hootenheim loves his nephew, but… Windsor is too excited about banking and can be a distraction. Show Hootenheim that you’re a capable adventurer and he’ll gladly hand off Windsor to you as a bank assistant. Though… Hootenheim will want to check in on his nephew from time to time, so Windsor will bring you to Uncle Hootenheim at the bank instead of carrying a backpack with the contents of your bank vault like the moglins do. It’s a win-win!
New Spacesuits for Crafting!
Our Space Madness release was a hit and we loved making the spacesuits, so we added a few more to your Lunar Crafting.
