Celebrating the Spirit of Indonesia in Nusantara
This weekend, we return to Nusantara, Lore's land of emerald islands and 1,000 temples. The area and adventures are inspired by the real-life country of Indonesia. Each year, members of our team and larger artist community come together to craft new items and adventures to help honor our Indonesian heroes.
Our newest adventure takes place in the royal city of Wentira, a paradise made of gold and only visible to those who deemed worthy. Demonstrate your worth to Prince Agung Palakka; he needs your aid to expel a corrupted former royal guard turned evil magician.
Indonesian Celebration Zones:
- Golden City of Wentira: defeat the Kabasaran Waranei and his boar minions in /wentira to help Prince Agung defend his home.
- Demon Queen Battle: defeat the monsters and boss in /rangda to collect the pieces of the Arjuna, Payas Madras, and Gatotkaca sets.
- Batara Kala Battles: take on Batara Kala to earn Kala Insignias, which can be used to purchase the Kala Helmets and Dalang Sinden armor.*

We have a vast number of dedicated and passionate Indonesian heroes in our videogame community. To help you celebrate your Independence Day later this month, many of our team members (and players) joined forces to help create this year's event for everyone. As you battle through the event, know that Artix, the AdventureQuest Worlds team, and I wish you and your family peace, joy, and love. At a time when there is so much darkness in our world, we strive to help spread light and happiness to as many people as possible... and hope you'll join us in doing the same.**
* Only one Kala Insignia one can be earned per day, so be sure to collect the full set before the event leaves for the year on September 1st.
