The Dark Knight Armor Set is one of the strongest heavy armor lines currently available in The Forge. Built for tank-focused players who want maximum defense, huge HP scaling, and premium traits, this set dominates deep cave runs and delivers excellent profit if you craft masterworks. This guide walks you through everything—from unlocking the forge to ore choices, minigame perfection, crafting odds, enhancement paths, and expert-level tips.

Step 1 – Unlocking the Forge

Before you can craft Dark Knight gear, you must complete the basic progression path in World 1 – Stonewick’s Cross.

Complete Sensei Morrow’s Starter Quests

• Mine 35 ores
• Forge 3 basic items (small weapons or light armor)
• Defeat 3 zombies
• Visit the Wizard for your enchantment requirement
• Unlock the World 2 portal

Once this is done, the Forge Workbench becomes available in the village hub, located between:

• The Potion Seller
• The Rune Maker

Interact with it to open the full forging interface.

Step 2 – Preparing the Crucible (Correct Ore Setup)

Dark Knight gear is crafted through the Heavy Armor tab.
Heavy armor requires 5–10 ores per craft.

Best Ores for Dark Knight Rolls

Not all ores have equal influence. To increase your chance of rolling Dark Knight variants:

• Eye Ore (IOR) → Best for Epic/Legendary-quality rolls
• Mithril → High defense scaling for armor
• Titanium → Solid multiplier support
• Mythic ores (Dark Eye, Demon Eye) → Only use if aiming for enhanced traits, as they’re rare

IOR stands out as the top ore for consistent Dark Knight crafting because of its legendary-level multiplier and trait scaling.

Step 3 – Selecting the Correct Armor Type

Open the Armor tab → choose Heavy Armor → then select:

• Dark Knight Helmet
• Dark Knight Chestplate
• Dark Knight Leggings

Each piece has its own inherent drop odds based on your ore quality and minigame performance.

Approximate Craft Odds (When Using High-Quality Ores)

• Helmet: 1 in 1
• Chestplate: 1 in 3
• Leggings: 1 in 2

These values assume near-perfect minigame execution and higher-tier ores.

Step 4 – Mastering All Four Forge Minigames

Dark Knight gear benefits massively from perfect minigame input. Every perfect raises quality, influences rarity, and increases the chance of rolling masterwork-level stats.

Minigame 1 — Bellows (Heat Control)

• Pump your mouse (or press the key) when the arrow reaches the green peak
• Aim for all perfect heat rises
• Better heat = higher final rarity odds

Minigame 2 — Hammering (Shape Quality)

• Click only when circles reach the inner ring
• Slow, precise timing
• This determines your masterwork chance

Minigame 3 — Quenching (Cooling)

• Keep the item in the center of the water stream
• Avoid wobbling
• Perfect cooling gives huge bonuses to armor rolls

Minigame 4 — Tempering (Precision)

• Click pins in sequence
• Smooth mouse control
• Finalizes your perfect quality rating

Achieving four perfect stages gives you the highest probability of rolling the top-tier Dark Knight armor pieces.

Step 5 – Stats and Traits on Dark Knight Armor

Dark Knight armor excels in raw durability and defensive bonuses.

Expected Stats

• Massive Defense boost
• High Max HP increase
• Armor-specific multipliers
• Heavy armor tank scaling

Possible Traits on Higher Rolls

• Shadow Dodge – chance to avoid lethal hits
• Burn Resistance
• Bonus Armor Multiplier
• Stagger Protection

Masterworks amplify all base values and often add additional scaling.

Step 6 – Enhancing Your Dark Knight Gear

Enhancement happens at the Enhancer NPC using essences.

What to Prioritize

• Rune Slots
• Increasing base defense
• Improving trait effectiveness

Best Runes to Socket

• Ward Patch – defensive bubble-type protection
• Rage Mark – boosts crit viability
• Guardian Essence – pure tank improvement
• Stalwart Emblem – stability-heavy scaling

These rune options convert the Dark Knight set into a true endgame tank configuration.

Step 7 – Pro Tips for Efficient Crafting

Here’s how advanced players minimize resource waste:

Use IOR for Legendary chances

IOR consistently outperforms other ore choices when aiming for the highest rarity Dark Knight pieces.

Restart forge if early minigame fails

Not hitting a perfect early? Reset immediately—no need to waste ore.

Farm boulders for mithril and high-tier ores

Goblin Cave and deeper zones drop the best ores to pair with IOR.

Sell masterworks

Masterwork Dark Knight pieces sell for up to 2x the raw ore value.
High-profit crafting for players seeking stable money making.

Use heavy armor only if you want durability

Dark Knight is not meant for speed builds—it’s designed to turn you into a wall.

The Dark Knight armor set is the go-to choice for players wanting maximum survivability and a tank-first build. With the right ore combination, perfect minigame execution, and smart enhancements, you can reliably craft masterwork-quality pieces without wasting currency or suffering RNG disasters.

The Tomo the Explorist quest is one of the more expensive side objectives in The Forge, mainly because the cat you’re asked to retrieve is locked behind Goblin Cave progression. This The Forge Tomo the Explorist Quest Guide walks you through every requirement, how to unlock the cave, where to find the cat, and whether the quest is worth your time.

How to Start Tomo’s Lost Cat Quest

To begin, locate Tomo in the first world. Interact with him to receive the quest titled “Find Tomo’s Lost Cat.”

Nothing else happens yet—the real challenge begins once you’re ready to travel.

Requirements Before You Can Find the Cat

1. Must Be Level 10

You cannot progress this quest until you reach Level 10.
Once you reach that level, use a Portal to move to the next world.

2. Travel to World 2

The lost cat is not in the first world. You’ll need to use the portal and head to:

→ The Second World

This is where the Goblin Cave and the Goblin King reside.

Unlocking the Goblin Cave

The cat’s location is inside the Goblin Cave, which must be fully unlocked before you can access it.

Goblin Cave Total Cost: 85,000

This includes the cave door and all Goblin King quest progression.

Why This Matters

Tomo’s cat quest is actually an endgame-leaning side quest, because you cannot access the cave without completing the Goblin King’s quests first.

If you’re low on money, do not start this quest yet—it will drain your resources quickly.

Completing the Goblin King’s Quests

Before entering the cave, you must finish:

• All 5 Goblin King Quests
• Costs scale from 5,000 upwards until the total reaches 85,000

These quests are required to open the cave door.

Once the final quest is completed, the Goblin Cave entrance will automatically open.

Tomo’s Cat Location

After unlocking the Goblin Cave:

Step-by-Step Path

1. Enter the Second World
2. Move toward the Goblin Cave entrance
3. Complete all Goblin King quests
4. Enter the newly opened door
5. Locate the cat inside this area

Once found, the cat will be added to your Inventory automatically.

Completing the Quest

Now return to Tomo in World 1.

Give him the cat to finish the quest.

Quest Rewards

• A large sum of money
• A solid amount of XP

For players progressing toward endgame, this is a rewarding one-time quest—just expensive to start.

Should You Do This Quest?

Recommended If:

• You have 85,000+ coins available
• You’re already planning to unlock Goblin Cave
• You want the XP and cash payout

Not Recommended If:

• You’re early-game
• You’re low on funds or saving for equipment
• You haven’t reached Level 10 yet

Tomo’s Cat quest is worthwhile, but only at the right time.

Once you unlock the second world and complete the Goblin King’s line, the quest becomes extremely straightforward. The only real barrier is cost. Approach it when your progression is stable and you can comfortably afford the 85,000 coin requirement.

The Online Battlepass Update is one of the largest content drops Arise has released. It brings new ranks, new relic tiers, a new raid, expanded rebirth progression, guild upgrades, and a fully loaded battle pass packed with powerful gear. This guide breaks down every system clearly so you can understand the update, optimize your progress, and prepare for the next wave of changes.

New Rebirth Cap & Guild Upgrades

The rebirth cap has been increased to Rebirth 14, adding a large batch of new milestone rewards. This makes your long-term progression significantly deeper.

Guild upgrades now include:

• A new Relic Slot
• Higher Cash Upgrades
• Additional Player Slots

These upgrades raise your power ceiling and enable better scaling in later content.

New Relic Tier – HDM+

A brand-new relic tier, HDM+, is now available.

How to craft HDM+ relics:

• 150 dust
• 2 Mythic Cores
• Or: High-ticket conversion options

HDM+ relics dramatically increase stat scaling and are central to end-game builds.

You can also now craft GR and GR+ shadows and weapons, pushing gear progression into a new tier of power.

New Player Ranks: MSR & MSR+

Two completely new player ranks define the top-end progression:

MSR Requirements

• Level 1000
• Floor 300 in Infernal Castle

MSR+ Requirements

• Level 1100
• Floor 310 in Infernal Castle

Each rank provides +1000 levels instantly upon claiming, allowing extremely fast leveling when combined with an XP build and rebirth resets.

These ranks heavily influence the damage curve and become essential for reaching new castle floors.

Update Codes

Three codes were added to compensate for update delays. They provide tickets and mode tokens:

• onlinepass
• giantmonarch
• delayedbattle

Use them early to accelerate your progress.

Battle Pass – Rewards Overview

The new Online Battlepass includes massive amounts of rewards, especially for premium users.

Key Rewards

• Beta Player subtitle (high shadow-level bonus)
• Three GR+ Items
• Eviscerator (GR+ Weapon)
• Ground Mount: Dustorn Steed
• Frost Eagle (Mount)
• Ember Wolf (Mount)
• 10 Potion Packs (20 total potions, extremely valuable)

The Eviscerator (GR+ Weapon)

This weapon is currently top-tier due to extreme damage scaling. Even partially upgraded, it reaches:

• 16 UGQI damage, with room to grow

Expect this weapon to dominate weapon builds for the foreseeable patch.

New Raid Mechanics

The update adds a new raid event tied closely to the Online Battlepass cycle. It shares mechanics with the Giant/Insect Monarch system but with expanded rewards and relics.

Spawn Times

• 10-minute mark
• 40-minute mark

How Boss Selection Works

Just like the previous monarch raid:

• Defeating giants across Kaiju, Hunter, Monarch, and Ghoul changes the boss outcome.
• Ignoring those giants spawns an alternate boss.

Drops from Island Giants

These giants drop the Colossal Core, which is the first new relic added this patch.

Drops from Raid Island Giants

Great giants on the raid island drop:

• Titan Bone Crest
  This relic is powerful enough to increase both shadow and weapon levels dramatically.

Alternate Boss Route

If you avoid defeating the giants on the other islands, the raid spawns the Insect Monarch, similar to the previous raid cycle.

Drops include:

• Venom Fang Shard
  This relic provides extremely high weapon and shadow level boosts (over 100 shadow levels in testing).

Dual Questlines – Continuing the Monarch System

After completing the earlier Purge the Hive and Cleanse the Giant Lands questlines, players now receive two new mirrored quest paths:

Cleanse the Giant Lands (Active Grind)

• Defeat Armored Giants
• Defeat Regular Giants
• Defeat Giant Monarch

This is the less AFK-friendly path.

Purge Path (AFK-Friendly)

• Defeat 10 Insect Monarchs
• Defeat 30 Queen Ants
• Defeat 15 King Ants

The insect-based path is fully AFKable.

Both quests reward relics, titles, shadow levels, and end-game resources.

New Relics – Effects and Sources

Key relics introduced in this update:

Colossal Core

• Drops from giants in Hunter, Kaiju, Monarch, and Ghoul
• Strong early damage boost

Titan Bone Crest

• Drops from raid island giants
• Major weapon-level boost (37+ weapon levels)

Venom Fang Shard

• Drops from Insect Monarch
• Extremely high shadow + weapon levels (100+ shadow levels and 37 weapon levels after upgrading)

Meta Outlook

Weapon and shadow meta is currently in flux due to overlapping updates, upcoming patches, and the introduction of multiple GR+ items. Shadow builds remain extremely strong, but weapon builds may surpass depending on relic combinations.

A more stable meta analysis is expected once the next patch lands.

The Online Battlepass Update significantly expands progression depth, offering new relic tiers, new ranks, powerful GR+ items, and a solidly designed raid system. Whether you’re pushing high floors, farming Monarch quests, or upgrading your guild, this patch offers a huge amount of progression for all players.

Lucky Blocks are a small hidden feature in The Forge, offering unique collectible items and a bit of fun experimentation. This guide explains exactly where to find them, how to access the hidden room, what they drop, and whether the items are actually useful.

Location of Lucky Blocks

Lucky Blocks exist in World 1, inside a hidden room beneath a building in Stonewick’s Cross.

How to reach them

1. Open your portal and teleport to Stonewick’s Cross (First World).
2. From the spawn point, walk toward the house with a green banner.
3. Stand near the barrels outside the house.
4. Jump + Leap/Dash into the upper triangular space of the wall.
   • It may take several tries.
   • Many players succeed by jumping from the barrel, then leaping forward at the peak of the jump.
5. Once inside, drop down the passage and continue until you reach the hidden room.

Here, you’ll find multiple Lucky Blocks lined up, each with 10,000 HP.

---

Requirements Before Breaking Lucky Blocks

• Bring a decent pickaxe.
• A weak pickaxe means the blocks will take a very long time to break.
• If your pickaxe is strong enough, try positioning yourself to hit two blocks at once for faster clearing.

Lucky Block Drops

Lucky Blocks only drop one item:

Relic: Fisherman Fish

• Multiplier: 0
• Sell Value: 0
• Index: Does not appear in the index
• Forge Usable: Yes (but completely nonfunctional)

This item is mostly a novelty relic meant for fun or collectors.

Using Lucky Block Items in the Forge

Although the fish relics can be placed into the Forge, they result in:

• Zero multiplier
• Zero stats
• Zero damage weapons
• Zero value items

Example

Crafting a dagger using three fish gives you:

• 0 base damage
• 0 sell price
• A funny visual model with a giant fish attached

This confirms the item has no practical combat purpose.

Should You Break Lucky Blocks?

Pros

• Easy hidden collectible
• Fun for experimentation
• Can fill empty slots if you want a cosmetic-only useless item

Cons

• No gameplay value
• Zero economic value
• No combat value
• Likely to become crowded once players discover the room

If you’re interested in collecting unique relics or want to experiment with zero-damage weapons, Lucky Blocks are worth a visit.

Tips for Efficient Clearing

• Break them early before the room becomes active with other players.
• Always try to position your swings to hit more than one block at a time.
• Bring the strongest pickaxe available to reduce time spent inside.

Lucky Blocks are more of a fun Easter egg than a meaningful progression system. They provide a unique relic and a way to craft novelty gear, but nothing here is intended for real use in combat or progression.

The Giant Monarch Raid in the Arise crossover event is one of the most valuable pieces of end-game content thanks to its relicdrops, high XP rewards, and the two unique GR+ shadows. This Arise crossover Giant Monarch Raid Guide walks you through every mechanic—how to trigger each boss, how to complete both questlines, where each relic drops, and what to expect from the rewards.

Raid Timing and Location

The raid spawns every 10 and 40 minutes. When the event begins, the game announces:

“The giants have invaded the lands.”

The raid island appears between Eminence (Eminent Shadow Island) and Kaiju Island. Both boss outcomes depend entirely on what you do BEFORE reaching the island.

How Boss Selection Works

When the raid message appears, you must choose between two approaches. Each one spawns a different boss with its own relics and rewards.

Path 1: Giant Monarch (Harder Route – Not AFKable)

Step 1: Clear All Giants in the Cities

Immediately travel to the four affected locations and defeat every spawning giant:

1. Gul
2. Monarch City
3. Hunter
4. Kaiju

These giants have special raid HP, making them easier to group-farm in public servers.

Step 2: Collect Early Drops

While killing these giants, you’ll also receive:

• Colossal Core – Strong XP-boosting relic

Step 3: Head to the Raid Island

Once all giants are cleared, go to the island between Eminence and Kaiju.

Here you’ll encounter Armored Great Giants.

Step 4: Defeat the Armored Great Giants

Killing these determines the final boss.
They drop:

• Titan Crest – Very strong for weapons and shadows

Step 5: Boss Spawns – Giant Monarch

If all previous giants were cleared, the Giant Monarch appears.

Giant Monarch Relics

This boss has two drops:

• Monarch Relic – Extremely powerful, required for high-tier progression
• Rune of the Mountain King – Grants exceptional drop-chance boosts

These items are rare. Even with boosted drop rates, players often reach 20+ kills before seeing one.

Path 2: Insect Monarch (Easy Route – Fully AFKable)

This is the route for players who want relaxed farming.

Step 1: Do NOT attack any giants in the world

Ignore every giant spawned by the initial alert.
Go straight to the raid island.

Step 2: Kill ONLY the Great Giants on the Island

This will automatically trigger the Insect Monarch instead of the Giant Monarch.

Insect Monarch Drops

• Venom Shard – Excellent offensive relic
• Kitan Crown – Very strong, highly recommended
• Mythic Cores & Mythic Dust – Great for scaling shadows

This boss is easy to AFK, and consistent drops make it the fastest farm route for castle pushes.

Raid Questlines – Cleanse vs. Purge

The raid brings two major questlines. Both grant heavy rewards and powerful titles.

Questline #1: Cleanse the Giant Lands

This is the active grind route.

Requirements:

• Defeat 170 Armed Giants (on raid island)
• Defeat 290 Great Giants (AFKable in overworld)
• Defeat 25 Giant Monarchs

This final step is the hardest because the Giant Monarch only spawns twice per hour, and the drop requirement is strict.

Rewards include:

• Mythic Cores
• Mythic Dust
• Rare Cores
• Tickets
• A GR+ Shadow
• The “Cleanse the Giant Lands” Title
  • Provides 59 Shadow Levels

Questline #2: Purge the Hive

This entire route can be AFKed.

Requirements:

• Defeat 30 Ant Queens
• Defeat 15 Ant Kings
• Defeat 1 Insect Monarch

Rewards:

• Mythic cores & dust
• A GR+ shadow
• The “Insect Monarch” Title
  • Grants 50 Shadow Levels

Both titles dramatically boost shadow scaling and accelerate rebirth progression.

GR+ Shadows from the Raid

Completing both routes yields:

• Giant Monarch GR+ Shadow
• Insect Monarch GR+ Shadow

When maxed, both outperform the earlier Battle Pass shadows and become essential for pushing Desert 450 and beyond.

Relic Summary

Boss	Relics	Notes
Giant Monarch	Monarch Relic, Rune of the Mountain King	Best drop-chance buffs and late-game scaling
Insect Monarch	Venom Shard, Kitan Crown	Easier to acquire, extremely strong for Castle pushing
General Giants	Colossal Core	XP relic—always pick it up
Great Giants	Titan Crest	Weapon/shadow relic, essential in builds

---

Progression Tips

• Insect Monarch farming is the fastest progression path due to consistent relic drops.
• Giant Monarch farming should be done when your build is strong and you need end-game relics.
• Run multiple servers if you want to finish Cleanse questline faster.
• Titles are extremely valuable; both questlines are worth completing.
• Shadows are confirmed top meta, so maximizing shadow levels is now a priority.

The Giant Monarch Raid is currently one of the most rewarding loops in the game. Whether you choose the hard active route for the Giant Monarch or the AFK route for the Insect Monarch, both paths yield relics and shadows that dramatically accelerate late-game progression.

Crafting in The Forge is much deeper than simply throwing ores together. Every ore carries multipliers, hidden traits, and percentage-based rules that directly influence the final quality of your weapon or armor. This The Forge Crafting Guide breaks down everything you need to know—from ore traits to crafting percentages—so you can build top-tier gear without wasting valuable resources.

Understanding Ore Traits

Although many players judge ores purely by rarity, the game’s hidden system gives certain ores special traits that boost damage, defense, or add unique passives. These traits only start appearing in the Forgotten Kingdom ores, as Iron Valley ores are too weak and Goblin Cave ores have no functional traits.

Epic Ores

• Cup Riot, Emerald, Ruby – No traits
• Obsidian – +30% armor defense
• Ravalite – +20% weapon critical damage

Legendary Ores

• Uranium – 5% HP AoE damage (armor)
• Mithril – +15% armor defense
• Eye Ore – -10% HP, +15% damage (weapons/armor)
• Fireeye Ore – 20% burn chance (weapons)
• Magma Eye – 50% AoE explosion (weapons)
• Light Eye Ore – Unknown/undefined effect

Mythic Ores

• Demon Eye – Burn + Demon’s Backfire passive
• Dark Eye – Shadows Phantom Step passive

Best Uses by Category

Weapon-friendly ores:

• Ravalite
• Eye Ore
• Fireeye Ore
• Magma Eye

Armor-friendly ores:

• Obsidian
• Uranium
• Mithril
• Demon Eye
• Dark Eye

These classifications matter because traits are only valuable when placed on the right type of item.

Trait Activation Rules

A trait does not automatically apply when an ore is used. The game follows strict percentage thresholds:

10% Rule – Trait Activation

An ore must make up at least 10% of the total recipe to activate its trait.
Example:
If you add one Demon Eye and nine Eye Ores, Demon Eye equals 10% and activates its passive.

If you add one Demon Eye and ten Eye Ores, Demon Eye drops below 10%, and the trait is lost.

30% Rule – Full Trait Power

To gain the full effect, the ore must be 30% or more of the recipe.

• A 10% Eye Ore might give you ~5% bonus damage.
• A 30% Eye Ore gives the full +15% damage.

Important Note

Mythic ores rarely reach 30% because of how rare they are. They are still worth using at 10% for the partial trait.

Crafting Weapons and Armor

Each weapon or armor piece requires a different number of total resources. Smaller items require fewer ores, making it easier to hit percentage breakpoints. Large items demand a lot more ore and dilute your rare materials.

Weapon Crafting

• Small Weapons (Daggers) require as few as 3 ores
• Large Weapons (Colossal Sword) require significantly more

Using high-quality ores on a dagger can outperform a poorly crafted colossal sword. However, a colossal sword with strong traits and multipliers will always outscale smaller weapons when crafted properly.

Armor Crafting

• Light armor pieces require fewer ores and increase movement speed
• Heavy armor pieces require many ores but offer the highest defense

If your goal is maximum survivability, work toward the heavy armor set. Just expect to use larger amounts of high-tier ores to maintain the 10–30% thresholds.

Ore Multipliers

Every ore also carries a multiplier, which increases the final stats and the sell price of the crafted item.

Examples:

• Dark Eye – 6.3× multiplier
• Diamond – 2× multiplier
• Quartz – 1.5× multiplier
• Cobalt – 1× multiplier

High multipliers dramatically boost your gear. However, multipliers dilute when mixed with weaker ores:

If you have a 3.5× multiplier mix and you add quartz, the overall multiplier moves downward toward quartz’s 1.5× value. This is why mixing too many weak ores ruins high-quality gear.

Best Practice

• Use Legendaries and Mythics for final gear
• Use Epics only for temporary or filler armor
• Avoid common ores when crafting anything important

Building Efficient Early and Late Game Gear

Early Game Strategy

Use your epics to build temporary gear while stockpiling legendaries and mythics. This lets you stay strong without wasting higher-tier materials on weak items.

Late Game Strategy

Craft only when you have the right ratios for 10% or 30% traits. Plan your recipes carefully so you don’t dilute multipliers or accidentally drop traits below thresholds.

When crafting expensive items such as heavy armor or colossal weapons, expect to invest a large quantity of ores to maintain your target percentages.

Weapon Stats Overview

Weapon choice matters less than ore quality. A well-crafted dagger can outperform a badly-crafted colossal weapon due to:

• Higher trait utilization
• More efficient ore percentage distribution
• Better multipliers

However, the best possible weapon in the game remains a colossal sword built with high-multiplier ores and 30% trait thresholds.

Final Crafting Principles

To consistently craft top-tier gear, remember:

• 10% = trait unlock
• 30% = full trait power
• High multipliers matter more than item size
• Weapon and armor traits must match intended use
• Large items require significantly more rare ores to maintain ratios

Players creating endgame builds should focus on mythics and legendaries while using epics for interim gear.

Brookhaven has officially kicked off its 7-day Thanksgiving Event, and each day brings a brand-new hidden turkey somewhere around the map. Finding these turkeys rewards you with exclusive turkey props, and every day unlocks a different decorative turkey.

This guide shows you exactly where to find the Day 1 Turkey, including the precise route so you can collect your first event reward instantly.

Day 1 Turkey Location

The very first turkey for the event is placed in a simple, accessible spot. Here’s how to reach it:

Step-by-Step Directions

Load into Brookhaven
Start in any public or private server.

Head toward the Hill Area
Look for the hill section near the top-left area of the main map (the elevated grassy area).

Climb up the hill
Use the slope or ladder access depending on your route.

Look along the upper edge of the hill
The turkey is tucked just beside the upper ridge, partially hidden by the terrain.

Interact with the turkey
Click the turkey to collect it.
You will see a notification: “Prop Unlocked”.

That’s all you need to do—your Day 1 Turkey prop is now added to your inventory.

What You Unlock

For each turkey you discover during the 7-day event:

• You unlock that day’s themed Turkey Prop
• All props are unique and cannot be obtained once the event ends

The Day 1 reward is a decorative turkey model you can equip from your props menu.

Daily Turkey Releases

• The event lasts seven days
• A new turkey appears every day in a different location
• You can collect previous days’ turkeys if you missed them, as long as the event is active
• More decorations and event-themed props will unlock throughout the week

If you want daily locations, make sure you follow the event updates—each turkey becomes available exactly when Brookhaven refreshes its daily challenge.

The 2025 Harvest Event has landed in Creatures of Sonaria, and the star of Part 1 is the new “wheat titan” creature, Hayrhinozh. It is a Tier 5 land herbivore and is only available through the Harvest Event 2025 Event Missions, specifically the Mythic Shine mission line.

This guide walks you through:

• How the Harvest Event works
• How to progress the Mythic Shine missions to unlock Hayrhinozh
• Where to find the Harvest minigame portals
• How the Event Shop, Golden Plenty bundle and Harvest Stamps fit in
• All codes mentioned in the video, plus what they give and their current status

1. Harvest Event 2025 – Basics

Event window

• Start: November 21, 2025
• End: December 5, 2025 (two weeks total)

What’s new in Part 1

Part 1 of the event adds:

• Mission tracker interface (new UI for missions)
• Hayrhinozh, unlocked via Event Missions (Mythic Shine)
• Harvest Stamps as the main event currency
• Event Shop with:
  • Creatures: Gorgonichus and Cimidstik (3,000 Harvest Stamps each)
  • Blessed Bean plushie, Cranberry / Pumpkin Spice / Enchanted Fall palettes
• Return of the Crop Defense and Harvest Maze minigames
• New Golden Plenty Robux bundle that includes one Harvest creature, palette, signature look, plushie, and stamps

You will be doing three things over and over during this event:

1. Progress the event missions (for Hayrhinozh)
2. Farm Harvest Stamps through minigames
3. Spend those stamps in the Event Shop

2. How To Start The Hayrhinozh / Mythic Shine Mission

1. Launch Creatures of Sonaria and join a normal survival server.
2. Open the Mission UI
   • On PC: open the main menu, then go to the Missions / Events tab.
3. Look for the Harvest Event 2025 section.
4. Inside that, you should see the Hayrhinozh event mission line (Mythic Shine or similarly named chain).
5. Click it to track the mission so its objectives appear on your screen.

The Mythic Shine line is your direct path to Hayrhinozh. You do not buy this creature from the Event Shop; you earn it by finishing all the event mission stages.

3. Mythic Shine Mission – What You’ll Generally Have To Do

The mission objectives themselves are shown clearly in-game, but the video and current event structure make it pretty clear what to expect:

You’ll be asked to complete several Harvest-themed tasks, such as:

• Growing creatures to a certain stage
  • For example: “Grow 5 creatures to adolescent” (what the video calls “federation stage”).
  • Use fast-growing, cheap creatures so you can rotate through them quickly.
• Surviving in a public survival server
  • An example objective shown is “Survive for 30 minutes”.
  • Best done as a flier or a fast, safe herbivore, away from PvP hotspots.
• Building event-related structures
  • The tracker shows tasks like building a planter in den building.
  • Enter Den Building, place at least one Planter and confirm the build to tick this step off.
• Participating in Harvest minigames
  • Missions may ask you to play or clear Crop Defense or Harvest Maze a number of times.
  • These are launched via portals in the open world (details in the next section).

Each time you complete a step:

1. Open the Missions UI
2. Click the mission to claim the progress or reward
3. Move to the next objective in the chain

When you reach the final objective and complete it, the game will award you one Hayrhinozh species slot. Because it is tagged as an Event creature, you only unlock it by finishing these Event Missions during the Harvest Event 2025 window.

4. Finding The Harvest Minigame Portals

The video shows the player flying around to look for minigame portals and event markers. Here is how to do this cleanly:

4.1 Use a flying creature

• Pick a fast flier (Guardian Dragon, etc.) so you can scan the map quickly.
• Open the map and look for special event icons.

4.2 Known minigame locations

The Harvest Event currently uses:

• Crop Defense
• Harvest Maze
• Turkey Chase areas

From the event page and in-game screenshots:

• Harvest Maze – portal near the Volcano
• Turkey Chase portals:
  • One in the Desert (near Mylo NPC)
  • One at the Central Rockfaces (near Jerry NPC)

When you fly around, look for:

• A portal or structure with an event name when you get close (example: “Crop Defense”)
• An interact prompt to enter the minigame

Once inside, play the minigame to either:

• Progress any mission steps that say “Play X Harvest minigames” or
• Farm Harvest Stamps from clear rewards

5. Event Shop, Harvest Stamps & Golden Plenty Bundle

5.1 Harvest Stamps

Harvest Stamps are the main currency for everything in the Event Shop. You get them by:

• Clearing Crop Defense
• Clearing Harvest Maze
• Completing event missions
• Buying them with Robux in the “Stamps” tab (optional)

The Stamps tab lists multiple Robux → Stamp packs, from tiny amounts up to 12,500 Stamps in one go.

5.2 Event Shop layout

From both main menu and in-game Tab menu, the Event Shop has three tabs:

• Featured – boosts and limited bundles
• Items – creatures, plushies, palettes, materials
• Stamps – Robux → Harvest Stamps

Notable Part 1 items:

6.2 Codes shown in the video

Note: The YouTuber reads some of them quickly, so below is the corrected spelling based on the official code list.

General event / milestone codes:

• DIS25 – historically gave an Astral Quetzal plushie / special reward
• COSBILLION – Star Rain material
• COSYEAR5 – Calacatta Marble Signature Look (not said clearly in the video, but it is the current “year” code on some sites)

Campfire event codes (usually only redeemable during live campfire Q&A events):

• CAMPFIRECAMPOUT – Smore Cat plushie
• EMBEREXTRAVAGANZA – Ember Spirit plushie
• CAMPFIREASHES / CampfireAshes – Campfire palette
• 2024CAMPFIRE10 – Smore Cat + Ember Spirit plushies

Almost every major code tracker currently lists DIS25, COSBILLION, CAMPFIRECAMPOUT, EMBEREXTRAVAGANZA and the older campfire codes as expired or event-locked, meaning they may only work when their specific event is live again, if at all.

For the most accurate, up-to-date list, it is worth pointing readers to either:

Volleyball Legends has pushed out Update 45, and this patch changes the way players chase and build styles from this point forward. A new rarity tier, a high-skill Ultra style, major adjustments to pity systems, and a generous luck event make this one of the most impactful updates the game has seen. Below is a complete overview tailored for players who want clear, detailed information without missing any important mechanic.

The ULTRA Rarity Arrives

A brand-new rarity, simply called ULTRA, has been added. Unlike other tiers, Ultras grow stronger through progression rather than existing as static styles.

How ULTRA Advancement Works

• Progress is tied to the Mastery section inside the styles menu.
• Each level grants a unique power boost.
• Reaching Level 5 unlocks that Ultra’s final, game-altering perk.

ULTRA Spin Chances

• Standard lucky spin chance: 0.25%
• During 2x Lucky Weekends: 0.5%
• Ultras follow the idea of being half as rare as a Secret style.

The New ULTRA Pity Track

Update 45 introduces a dedicated Ultra pity system. The moment your Ultra Pity and Secret Pity overlap, the game guarantees you an Ultra first, followed by a Secret on the next roll. This eliminates the randomness of which one drops first and improves long-term consistency for spin grinders.

Hakka – The First Ultra Style

Hakka is the headline style of this update. It is built around clone mechanics that allow for multi-directional setups and advanced technical play.

Core Hakka Gameplay

You fill a Clone Gauge by performing standard actions:

• Bumps
• Sets
• Jumpsets
• Dives

Once the gauge fills, Clone Mode activates by itself.

What Clones Can Do

After activating, a sideways jumpset spawns a clone. That clone is able to:

• Spike
• Block
• Jumpset

This creates situations where the player can extend plays, pressure blockers, and chain setups in ways no other style can replicate.

Hakka Mastery Level Rewards

Level 1: Faster clone charge speed
Level 2: Clones gain full block power
Level 3: Unlocks Hakka’s animated player card
Level 4: Clones gain full spike stats and Sanu backtilt behavior
Level 5: Unlocks the second clone, enabling twin-clone routes. The second clone takes more charge but raises the ceiling on what the style can do.

Hakka is clearly designed for players who enjoy mastery-heavy mechanics and combo-focused setups.

Extra Free Style Slot for All Players

Every account now starts with three free style slots instead of two. This adjustment helps new players collect multiple styles without juggling limited space and makes room for the new ULTRA tier.

2x Lucky Weekend Event

A limited-time luck boost is running alongside the update.

For anyone saving spins, this two-day window is one of the best times to roll. Both pitied styles and raw chance pulls are significantly easier during the event.

The Payload update marks a major step forward for Hunty Zombie, giving players new tools, new enemies, and an entirely different way to approach each mission. Instead of simply surviving waves, you now have more structure, more decision-making, and more build variety than ever before. This guide breaks everything down so players on your site immediately understand what’s new and how each addition affects gameplay.

A Look at What This Update Brings

This patch introduces a legendary melee weapon, a moving-objective mode, two fresh zombie types, a new seasonal battle pass, and the long-awaited skill tree. Together, they reshape how you progress and how you handle pressure during intense moments.

Legendary Weapon: Sledge Hammer

The standout item of this update is the Sledge Hammer, a heavy melee weapon designed for players who want raw stopping power.

How It Works

• Slow wind-up, but strikes with devastating force.
• Wide swings allow you to crush multiple zombies in a single motion.
• Strong knockback that helps regain space when a wave closes in.
• Scales extremely well with melee-oriented skills.

Why It Matters

This weapon gives melee builds new identity. Instead of relying on speed or rapid hits, you play around timing and impact, rewarding players who can read enemy movement and create openings.

New Mode: Payload

Payload mode introduces a completely different rhythm to Hunty Zombie. Instead of defending a static area, you’re escorting a moving objective through dense, coordinated waves of enemies.

What to Expect

• The Payload keeps advancing, forcing you to adjust your position constantly.
• Enemies spawn in patterns designed to intercept the flow of the objective.
• You can’t camp or settle; every turn demands repositioning and wave preparation.

Practical Tips

• Clear the path ahead rather than reacting behind the Payload.
• Prioritize crowd control tools to stabilize chokepoints.
• Keep mobility skills active so you never fall out of position.

New Zombie Types

Two new enemies mix up the pacing, especially inside Payload mode.

Boombox Zombie

A highly aggressive unit that rushes forward and detonates on contact.

• Can shred the Payload if ignored.
• Not tanky, but extremely dangerous up close.

Best Counterplay: Take them out before they enter their detonation radius.

Cosplay Zombie

A more unpredictable zombie that blends into regular waves.

• Moves with sudden shifts in direction.
• Often causes spacing errors if you overlook them.

Best Counterplay: Keep them in sight and avoid letting them hide within larger groups.

Battle Pass Season 2

Season 2 introduces new cosmetic rewards, seasonal challenges, and progression tied closely to Payload runs.
Players can unlock weapon skins, character items, and performance boosters simply by playing normally.

Skill Tree System

This is the backbone of long-term progression moving forward. The skill tree lets you strengthen your character permanently and shape a preferred playstyle.

What You Can Improve

• Damage scaling
• Stamina and survivability
• Movement options
• Cooldown-focused utility
• Area-damage or melee enhancements

Build Recommendations

• For Payload: improve durability, movement, and area control.
• For Melee setups: invest in stun bonuses and multiplier nodes.
• For Ranged players: boost crit, accuracy, and reload-related perks.

CODES

SHAMMER = 10 Weapon Lucky Spin
NewZombie1 = 10 Traits
NewZombie2 = 10 Traits
NEWPAYLOAD = 200,000 Coin
TRYNEWGAMEMODE = 10 Perk Lucky Spin
BATTLEPASSRESET = 100,000 Coin

Payload Shop

Payload mode also comes with its own shop system.
You earn a mode-specific currency while progressing the objective, then spend it on temporary upgrades and enhancements for that run.

This system adds an extra layer of planning, letting you tailor mid-run adjustments depending on how tough the waves become.

Bug Fixes

This update also tightens core gameplay by smoothing out older issues, cleaning up zombie pathing, and improving performance in crowded areas. The game runs noticeably more consistently under heavy load.

The Payload update gives Hunty Zombie the structure and replay depth it was missing. With a powerful new weapon, a dynamic escort mode, smarter enemy behavior, and long-term growth through the skill tree, players have plenty to explore. The pacing feels sharper, the challenge feels more deliberate, and every run gives you more ways to experiment with builds.
