Sepulchure's Rise: Part 2
Battle through the Valley of DOOOOOM!
Sepulchure's Rise, the story of how a simple knight became the dread DoomKnight Sepulchre, continues this weekend! Quest as the heroic knight Sir Valen to defeat the Champion of Darkness.
Quest as the heroic knight Sir Valen to defeat the Champion of Darkness. Wait a minute! That scroll from Part 1 said we already did. If you are asking yourself this then
1.) Give yourself 100pts for paying good attention. Good job!
2.) Put on your anti-spoiler hats and get ready for a plot roller coast.
Last week in part 1... which was not actually part 1. We were not ready with part 1 yet, so you sorta had a prologue, prequel, part 0 where you played as Lynaria or Alden. The adventure really starts this week.
Remember that scroll you unlocked after playing through the story? The one that says Alden and Valen defeated Dethrix-- the Champion of Darkness? He was defeated, but not dead. Well, he might be undead, but the important part here is that he is not UNDEAD-DEAD. Which is really dead. Even for the dead. Extra dead.
As tonight's release goes live our trio of heroes will be on their way to restore the glory of Swordhaven... but that Swordhaven Oracle is really going to metaphorically poo in Valen's cereal.
#PROTIP The secret is making sure the Champion of Darkness never finds that BLOOD RED armor with the spikes on it. Ready to start the chain of events that breaks a heroic knight?
"What makes a good man go bad.... or in Valens case... worse."
Featured Gear: Swordhaven Knight + Tower Guardian House
This weekend, gear up and show your allegiance to Swordhaven. Find Bright Dragon Knight set in the Featured Gear shop for AdventureCoins, and find the rest of the sets from the release merge shop, quests, and monsters.
There are 5 factions of Knights in the AdventureQuest World's Kingdom of Swordhaven...
- Frogzard Knights
- Bright Dragon Knights
- Knights of Light (Not the Night Lights)
- Legendary Knights
- Chicken Cow Knights
Find the Guardian Tower house for 2,000 AdventureCoins from Penny, the Centaur 21 house vendor in the /buyhouse map.

Bug Fixes:
- Ragnar has been informed of the need to update his information now. (Upgrade Bonus button goes to correct DNs now)
- So has Drew Dreschel. (FB button works again)
- Dage Birthday items (seasonal) removed from permanent shops for now.
- Typos! Typos! More typos! And a couple more typos too.
Art Fixes:
- Sanctified Wings OnMove has been updated to be more wing-like.
Not Fixed & Why:
- Cyclops Warlord in /mobius was pulled for two reason. It is not used in any storyline quest originating in this map. Because the map is low level, and this is a boss room, it was killing players who only have AoE classes. He is where he belongs, in /faerie.
- Pets with CC parts break. There isn’t a way we can fix them reverting to their base colours when you change rooms at this time.
- On a related note to that many pets do have animations, but are not actual battle pets. Battle pets are clearly marked as battle pets in the item description. You may also refer to the full list of battle pets located on the AQW Wiki. BATTLE PETS LIST.
- DoomLord’s Rune is where it was intended to be at. See THIS POST.

New Good and Evil Gear from Quibble
Prepare for DOOOOOOOM with Quibble's Rare Gear!
Quibble is in Battleon this weekend, bringing you new Good and Evil gear as we begin this Summer's main event: Sepulchure's Saga: The Rise of Darkness! He's selling most of his gear for AdventureCoins, but has a few things for everyone... if you can meet his price!
What Will Quibble Coinbiter Bring?
If you've seen Quibble appear before, you know that his arrival heralds the beginning of the next main storyline... so THIS time around, he's bringing gear crafted in honor of the saga's two main elements: light and darkness.
This weekend, find the following gear in Quibble's shop:
- the Guardian of Darkness armor set
- the Guardian of Light armor set
- the ShadowScythe Quibble Bank Pet
He never stays in one place long and we have no idea when (or if) he will be back. Remember, he is not selling rares, he is selling items you are not even supposed to have!
What is a Quibble Coinbiter?
Quibble Coinbiter is everyone’s favorite sales Moglin, who travels far and wide, collecting never-before-seen Items to add to your impressive collection. That's right, his gear has never been seen in the world before, but he sells them used... How is this possible? Quibble has a connection with a slightly corrupt time-travel fairy who supplies him with items that have not even been created yet*.
No one knows if—or when—Quibble’s Items will go permanently Rare, so your best bet is to get all the goodies in his shop just in case it’s the latter!
* Thinking about this should hurt your brain. It hurts mine!
** I wonder... if the item's used, but never seen before... is the time travel fairy going to the future after you have discarded the weapon, taking it from you, and then coming BACK in time so Quibble to sell it to you before you ever found it***?
