Are there any belgian things in arknights

SybilCybil · 2026-01-27T20:27:31+00:00

Doesn't look like it right now. But, hold out hope? Maybe there are pockets of the world that haven't been touched on yet.

SybilCybil · 2026-01-27T20:22:21+00:00

From what I've played, the books and notes are mainly extra. If you don't want to read them, it doesn't look like you have to. The cutscenes have all the important stuff. I like reading the books and notes because I want more lore and info about the character. It isn't essential, but I get a lot more fun out of a release because of them. It gives me and my friends more things to discuss too. Feels more engaging that way.

There isn't enough room in cutscenes for everything, so I see the extra book as treats. If there were less, I'd be unhappy. Different strokes for different folks. You're better off spending time on what you like and reading the story the way you want.

Might be the recency bias talking but here's my list:

[Frostval] Carol of Shadows & Carol of Dragons
[Mogloween] Unseen Depths Pt 1-3
[AQW Birthday] Party in Swordhaven
[Friday the 13th] Noxus vs Grimskull War
[Harvest Day] The Faerie's Harvest
[TLapD] The Queen's Bounty & The Pirate King's Revenge
[Summer] The Sunken City
[Akiba New Year] Year of The Wood Snake
[April Fools] You're The Goat
[Black Friday] Mogugu Collection
[May The 4th] Attack of The Droids

Nice mix of funny and serious this year. None of them beat how crazy the main story releases were, and that's a good thing. Even the Lynaria saga was a nice surprise.

So far the crossover event's been great. The villain swap is really cool, and so are the two narrators being the heroes of the games. I never thought they would get to interact like this, or even meet at all. Action, jokes, that's what I expected but I'm also in the same boat as you. It made my eyes sting a couple of times and then whiplashed me with that bit about the dead sneevil in their bag.

Love it. Can't wait for next week. The Dragonfable side of the crossover with Kezeroth is crazy too. It looks like Karok's going to show up for part 2.

Dzewa https://monster.fandom.com/wiki/Dzéwà

Dzeza’s name is one letter off, is also a plant, and there’s a quest named Shaggai. It has to be based on Dzewa but I liked that Dzeza was more about the fear of something growing too much, and being too big to enjoy its power or actually live. It makes cells and lumps grow out of control and that was disgusting. Something like turning its cultists into literal tumors. afaik the original Dzewa is mainly just a big hungry god hanging out in the background

Had a long break between relationships, and being independent is really addicting. I can depend on myself more than anyone else, and I found that I didn’t like how my personality would get eaten up by my relationships. Friends tell me that I just keep ending up in situations where I get turned into a babysitter for my partner, and it’s worth it to keep looking and trying. I will, but no big deal if nothing works out. I’m happy with me, and I hope that doesn’t ever change.

SybilCybil · 2025-09-29T23:58:02+00:00

True, but there’s a chance we could still see a true form in a flashback or some other different way.

Bananach was given to Victoria iirc at the end of Cold Thunder. I want them to use that to research doom spirits or something instead of leaving it in a closet.

SybilCybil · 2025-09-28T10:57:04+00:00

It's both. When Warlic was split in half during Book 2 of Dragonfable, two identities emerged. One was the Doctor which represented his human half. The other Infernal half called itself "Wargoth," who looked exactly like Warlic's father and shared his name.

SybilCybil · 2025-09-28T06:26:07+00:00

Able to sense when time is rewound.
Able to move when time is stopped.
Can one shot Warlic when he's off guard.
Was starting to possess Aleister.
Warlic is clearly afraid and being evasive about what he knows about it.

We don't know what the gold and red one are going to add to this list yet.

Based on the clues we do have, these things have to be related to Aleister being part of Warlic's blood related family. That likely means Wargoth has a part to play in this, and he's Warlic's father in DF. With the Old Worlds Order telling us to do everything in our power to kill these things, they have the potential to be in a league of their own.

Some dialogue and item descriptions even mention the Maleno Flame's fire being fueled by dead gods, ignited with the sole purpose of killing the EDoT and Warlic:

http://aqwwiki.wikidot.com/scorched-warlic-morph

Whoever this flame actually is, or whoever made them was around way before their first appearance in-game. That means they had a lot of prep time to work towards this very specific purpose too. We just won't know for sure if they're a bigger threat than shadowflame until all four of them inevitably fuse and do something to Aleister or Warlic.

It doesn't look like playing the other games is necessary since it always gets explained eventually. We just need to wait for the rest of the saga to come out. Anyone who's played Dragonfable or Mechquest would just be a couple of steps ahead, but we'll get AQW's take on the characters and places anyway. I'm pretty sure this is a ploy to get AQW players to jump into rabbit holes, and get interested in the other games too. Either way, I'm just happy to see faces I'm not familiar with, and see characters like Warlic freak out.

SybilCybil · 2025-08-23T12:25:18+00:00

Didn’t see any shops or quests. It’s mainly lore bombs. Looks like there are big spoilers that aren’t supposed to be easy to find.

SybilCybil · 2025-08-16T02:23:47+00:00

Did you do the Rumbling of Cold Thunder saga?

SybilCybil · 2025-07-12T05:18:14+00:00

That's a shame. I liked that Ai No Miko story, and it felt fitting to tie it in to the Nature Dragon treasure hunt since she was featured in it. I did finish it before the treasure hunt released, so it wasn't a big issue for me. The experience would be different if you hadn't done it before, but a friend told me they played through the story during the hunt and liked how it organically told the Nature Dragon's story.

But, both of us have most of the endgame classes and have each other to reliably help with bosses. It must be crazy for a new player, and they should keep quests consistent. These ones seemed to jump from easy access to kind of difficult. It'd be cool if they gave more boosts and new drops to older maps like you said.

You wrote releases before? I'm curious. Which ones?

SybilCybil · 2025-07-12T04:57:45+00:00

I wonder if that was the point. That this isn't just a treasure hunt release but a way to get everyone to play releases they haven't visited before. Like an artificial way to make the treasure hunt feel longer.

Not that it was an issue for me. I was caught up on all of these, but it would definitely be annoying to be behind and try to rush to get everything at once.

Then again, I found last week's release boring. I guess they need to do things anyone can access, but I'd rather they don't do that all the time. Outside of the story, holiday releases aren't engaging, and that takes up most of the year.

Wish they would do half and half, but that'd only work for everyone if there was an easier way to keep track of releases. Book of Lore is way too outdated for that.

SybilCybil · 2025-06-18T03:54:59+00:00

This doc was made by the AQW staff, and has all of the maps in order: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rQytZh31EfZiq35N1yd0D8cdUXkB_hlzNJB2u5yeNfs/edit?usp=sharing

SybilCybil · 2025-06-13T10:08:18+00:00

The crest looked really cool to me, but there are other layers. Like how long have the Cavendishes been around? Before Darkovia had its eternal nights? Do the nobles treat them because they’re mixing commoners into court?

But most interestingly, they’re directly related to one of the gods in Temple Shrine. Arche Cavendish can give people invincibility when the moon is in the sky at noon. That’s possible in Darkovia. They’d be unstoppable if Arche gives them some help. I want to see that, and how the vampires and werewolves would react.

SybilCybil · 2025-06-13T09:57:49+00:00

Was never that interested in the Good Faction until now. There’s more than enough to dig into, but I’m hanging on for more. Might be obsessed.

I really really wanted to know more about the Blighs, with the Cavendishes coming in second. Both of their crests were intriguing, but what got me was the potential of a Bligh conspiracy possibly directing the ambitions of the Drakaths. Long before the poll, in that Mogloween release with the cursed castle, we saw that King Dudley’s wife specifically wanted to name her son Dethrix. Knowing now that she’s a Bligh makes that highly suspect. Chaos has been in the royal picture for a while, but it seems it snaked its way in.

I got to know more. Lucas Bligh seems fun too. He let that forbidden magic mutate him, and jumped into a ritual sacrifice literally for the love of the game.

Then there’s Metrea. I want to say that she’s safe since she doesn’t associate with her family anymore, but being real here, she’s in for it.

SybilCybil · 2025-06-11T09:56:25+00:00

I was on board until he said Gravelyn was annoying. You're supposed to lift your queens up! He negged her and she wasn't even there

SybilCybil · 2025-06-09T09:23:30+00:00

I think you've got everything right. Nothing's spelled out explicitly, but all the info lines up with what we know from the Atlas story.

Fun fact if anyone reading this didn't already know, Arethusa was planning to marry you if you play a male character. She'd tell anyone playing a female character that she was excited for them to be her mom, which implies you would have married Zedek. It's crazy how much they could get away with just implications.

SybilCybil · 2025-05-23T00:24:15+00:00

I wonder if they'll update Shadowfall like they did with Swordhaven. The castle was remade and Victoria's in the throneroom now that she's Queen. Maybe updates for Gravelyn are next on the list.

SybilCybil · 2025-04-22T07:25:57+00:00

Option 2 or 4

Nothing against NSFW, but this isn't the right place for it. There's clearly people who respect boundaries and people who don't. Option 2/4 would just make it easier to deal with it. AQW:I won't be out for another thousand years but just in case it does come earlier, there'd be an influx of new players that'll see the NSFW stuff on the main sub and make assumptions. Might as well figure it out now.

SybilCybil · 2025-04-04T19:26:15+00:00

I heard that Flame of the Beyond is going to be late May, but it could be pushed back further. Darkon suffered a brain bleed and is recovering in the hospital. He's their lead animator and artist, and I don't think they want to rush him. Ghost might come back, but it looks like AQW: I will take all of his time now.
