Event Description[]
2016[]
Montana James dusted off his fedora before fixing back on his head. The frantic slide under the closing warehouse door almost claimed his hat for the umpteenth time. He was still clutching the tattered map of the rainforest temple as he picked himself up and ran for the waiting boat plane that would take him to deepest, darkest Peru...
The latest event takes our Crusaders on an adventure in the finest traditions of archeologists who also happen to be great at adventures. Yesteryear chic from the 1930s, an evil regime of bad guys and a race to recover ancient treasure in a temple in a jungle await you.
Good luck, Crusaders, and before you undertake this epic adventure, take inspiration from the immortal words of Montana himself: "Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory."
2017[]
You have to love big budget sequels. Montana James is back in this repeat Crusaders event, Trek Through the Hidden Temple.
2018[]
It's time to put on your fedora and grab your whip, Crusaders, because we're heading back into the Hidden Temple. This year's event includes a new Crusader, so try not to step on the wrong tiles as you work your way through five new objectives and earn six new achievements.
2019[]
In ages long past, Kebos was a Goddess. As the world changed and her era came to an end, she was wrapped in ceremonial linens and preserved through mummification. It is the greatest honor her people could bestow upon their goddess, hoping to bring her a peaceful rest for all time.
Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever — not even death. Her tomb unearthed and her rest interrupted, Kebos the Mummy has arisen to join the Crusaders for their latest journey to The Hidden Temple.
2020[]
Guarding a tomb for all time might sound like an eternity of peace and quiet, but eventually some random Crusader will show up, interrupting your slumber. On yet another daring excursion, Montana James finds himself face-to-face with a colossal stone behemoth carved in the shape of a Tyrannosaurus, with massive glowing crystals sprouting from its back. Luckily for Montana, Ichtaca, the Keeper has grown bored of their role of tomb guardian, and is eager to head out on an adventure.
It's time to comb the ruins and marvel at what was once mundane. The world of yesterday is yours to explore, in The Hidden Temple! Tackle 5 cunning objectives to find a rocky new Crusader, and a kingly look for an old pal.
This event runs until June 2nd, when the guide warms about the end of the world or some such.
2021[]
In the temple, the hidden temple, the axolotl sleeps tonight.
Yaretzi has woken and is here to join your band of Crusaders!
Have you heard the news? There were ruins discovered in the local park. Sources say it appears to be a... temple of sorts?
That's right, it's time once again to take a careful stroll though The Hidden Temple. This time, take on 5 new objectives with a little help from a friendly new amphibian Crusader.
This event runs until June 22nd, at which point the local council will decide it's better not to take any chances and knock it down.
New Crusaders[]
Tier 1[]
Montana James[]

The Trek Through the Hidden Temple event introduces our new square-jawed Crusader, Montana James, one of two new heroes to add to your roster. He requires rescuing himself after getting mixed up with a group of jackbooted soldiers.
Serpent King Draco[]

The second new Crusader in the Trek Through the Hidden Temple event is a scaly new royal called Serpent King Draco.
Tier 2[]
Danni the Daring Damsel[]

The first of the two new Tier 2 Crusaders is Danni, the Daring Damsel who doesn't need to rely on anyone else to get herself out of trouble. Even if she ends up getting in trouble a lot.
At level 100, Danni unlocks Eye Candy which buffs the DPS of all Male Crusaders by 50%.
At level 150, her ability Penny in Your Pocket increases the Gold Find +10% additively for each Male Crusader in the formation.
Polly the Parrot[]

Polly, the Parrot, is the trusty animal sidekick who's always on hand for those comedic moments when heroes are locked in a cell and need a key. Also, he has some wicked one-liners, which kids will be quoting long after the adventure finishes. Probably.
At level 50, Polly unlocks Got a Cracker!, an ability makes monsters move 500% faster.
Polly unlocks Instant Regret at level 150 and monsters that are attacking the formation will then take extra damage.
Tier 3[]
The Holy Guardian[]
Ancient knight? Fallen angel? Whatever he may be, all you know about The Holy Guardian is that Crusaders closest to him find themselves healed far greater than those further away — and Crusaders further away have their damaged increased far more than those closest to him.
Tier 4[]
Kebos the Mummy[]
Kebos is an ancient goddess, preserved through mummification. Now known as Kebos the Mummy, this undead goddess brings her supernatural power to the formation in the form of massive DPS buffs (Show Them Some Teeth, Defend the Innocent). She grows stronger with each DPS Crusader in the formation (This is a Knife!), growing stronger still as you level her up (Better with Age) and earn Trinkets (Lady of the Dead). She is also a righteous DPS Crusader, growing more powerful for each Good Crusader in the formation (The Power of Good).
When the dead start to rise, it usually means the end of days is nigh — but in this case, the Crusaders may have instead found one of their strongest allies...
Tier 5[]
Ichtaca, the Keeper[]
Ichtaca, the Keeper is a Crusader who specializes in boosting the potency of Orc, Supernatural, and Support-tagged Crusaders.
Mesozoic Born and Riddles and Keys boost Supernatural and Support Crusaders respectively. If your formation has any Orc Crusaders, Earthen Family will increase the DPS of Crusaders by 50% per each Orc tag in the formation.
Other upgrades include Good Stone (Increases the DPS of all Crusaders by 75%), Eternal Guardian (For every 25 levels over and including 200, DPS is multiplied by 4x), and Crystalline Veins (Increase all Gold found by 100%). Ichtaca's final ability is Extinction Level Event, which buffs Mesozoic Born and Riddles and Keys by 100%.
Tier 6[]
Yaretzi[]
It was a dark and stormy night. (Someone coughs in the distance) Sorry, sorry, wrong story. Deep in the dark depths of the jungle, hundreds of miles from the nearest village or access to the wider world, there is a hidden temple. In this temple, there is a lake so deep that the water looks black, with a hint of silver when illuminated by a lantern.
Why is there a lantern in a hidden temple? For the resident, of course! Yaretzi guards the treasures of the lake: her fellow axolotls. She's doing her best to help them survive. Maybe by joining your band of Crusaders, she can spread the word even more.
Yaretzi is a DPS and Goldfind Crusader. When you want to add her to your formation, you can find her in slot 33.
