New Weekly Challenge Boss: King Drago
What if the Hero met Re instead of La during the attack on Astravia Castle? If you survive Astravia's Judgement and are at least level 80, talk to redacted at the end of /astraviajudge to take on King Drago himself!
In this scenario, Re has just finished leading the charge through Astravia Castle, slaughtering most of Drago's army in her wake. All that remains is King Drago and his 2 top generals, but Drago is empowering them through his magic. Can The Hero defeat Drago before Judgement arrives and liquifies everyone? That's for you to decide.
King Drago can be defeated once a week* for 5 of his Insignias, which can be used to unlock new Astravian themed items!
- Prince Darkon's Poleaxe: Requires level 80. Deals 75% more damage to Humans when equipped
- Dene's Axe: Requires level 80. Deals 40% more damage to Humans when equipped
- Algie's Bow: Requires level 80. Deals 40% more damage to Humans when equipped
- Drago's Royal Guard: Requires level 80. Gives 35% more Experience and Class Points when equipped
- Drago's Royal Guard's Helmet: Requires level 80.
- Drago's Royal Guard's Cloak: Requires level 80.
King Drago battle tips:
- King Drago is being protected by his two top generals, Executioner Dene and Bowmaster Algie. As long as they are alive, no harm can befall Drago.
- Being the lazy King he is, Drago does nothing throughout the entire fight. Your real battle is with his generals.
- The more Executioner Dene attacks, the more defense he gains, and the more defense you lose!
- The more Bowmaster Algie attacks, the more damage he gains, and the more damage you lose!
- Bowmaster Algie has positioned himself strategically.
- You have about 3 minutes to defeat Drago before Judgement arrives.
*Weekly quests reset every Friday at 12:01 AM EST. If you complete a weekly quest on a Thursday, it will be available again on Friday!
Leaving Soon: mark your calendars

Treasure Chests?
There is a small chance to get a mysterious Treasure Chest as a reward drop when you battle ANY monster in-game. Have you found one yet?
Treasure chests are a fun - but completely optional - way to get exclusive items in AdventureQuest Worlds. The chests have a less than 1% chance of dropping from ANY monster in the entire game. Each one contains one of over 215 epic items that you can't get anywhere else(and the number will keep growing)!
- All of the items are 0 AC so you can store them for free
- All of the items are non-member so you can use them forever
There's just one problem. You can't open the Treasure Chests without a Magic Key. The good news is that Twilly (the little red Moglin in Battleon) has a few extras and will happily sell you one for 200 ACs and open your chest for you.
Monthly Membership Perk Arrives Wednesday, December 1st
Members, log in and talk to Twilly this Sunday to claim your two FREE treasure chest keys! Collect treasure chests as you battle through Lore, then use the keys to open them for new free items.
Want to get in on this?
Upgrade your AdventureQuest Worlds character with any membership package to unlock two free Treasure Chest Keys for each month the membership is active.
* We will begin updating the treasure chest rewards again on a regular basis, so if you've already collected all the gear... get ready to unlock more in the near future!
