Special challenge paths are types of ascension runs that add variant rules and restrictions to the base game.
A new special challenge path debuts in the Spring, Summer, and Fall of each year. A challenge path is considered to be current or "in season" during its first three months.
Completing a special challenge path awards an additional 50 Karma for a Normal run or an additional 100 Karma for a Hardcore run, if the run started while the path was current. A run started outside of the initial season will earn an additional 50 Karma if it is a first of that path for a player (normal or hardcore). Additionally, a Thwaitgold statuette will drop from The Naughty Sorceress' final form or the equivalent final boss.
Playing the current special challenge path has additional restrictions and benefits:
- You are under standard restrictions, not allowed to use limited-time content that is older than January of (path's starting date's year minus 2). For example, in the Spring 2018 challenge path which begins February 15, 2018, and ends May 14, 2018, you are not allowed to use limited-time content from before January 2016.
- Standard restrictions end when Ronin ends. Standard does not apply when a special challenge path is no longer current.
- For some paths, you will receive a special path-specific reward for completing a run (beating the final boss) while it is still current.

Number is the running number of all challenge paths whereas id is the number used in api.php (see Paths by number).
In-Season Rewards
These are special rewards given to those who complete a special challenge path while it is in-season.
- This reward is given only if the run is started while it is still current. That means as long as the path is current when started, you will receive the in-season reward.
- If your run exceeds 1000 turns in a normal ascension and breaks ronin you are released from standard restrictions, but you can still get the in-season reward.
Commendations
Challenge Path Commendations are special rewards given to players whose ascension is listed on an in-game challenge path leaderboard (either Normal or Hardcore) at the end of that path's season. These commendations appear on a player's profile, and are awarded based on placement within the leaderboard:
Leaderboard Position | Commendation |
---|---|
#1 (1 per season) |
Gold Star![]() |
#2 - #12 (11 per season) |
Silver Moon![]() |
#13 - #35 (23 per season) |
Bronze Button![]() |
Commendations are accompanied by a message from the Leaderboard Robot (#3737):
Dear <playername>,
Your position on the final <pathname> <ascension type> leaderboard entitles to you to a <commendation type>.
Now everybody that looks at your profile will know how awesome you are. Or were, at the end of the <pathname> season.
Love,
The Magical Mystical Mighty Meritorious Misanthropic Masterful Magnanimous Masticating Muhahahahah-ing Leaderboard Robot
There is one new adjective on the last line each season, added onto the other ones. The earliest recorded was "Magical Mystical" when Avatar of Boris was the current path.
For either Sneaky Pete or Slow and Steady "Muhahahahah-ing" was removed and replaced with "Meddling." Also, line breaks were added to the format. As of Avatar of West of Loathing, "Maddening" has been replaced by "Maniacal Much-Loved".
Dear <playername>,
Your position on the final <pathname> <ascension type> leaderboard entitles to you to a <commendation type>.

Commendations may not be received immediately following the end of a path; some manual intervention by KoL's admins is required. A player can only earn 1 commendation for Normal and 1 for Hardcore. In challenge paths with multiple leaderboards for multiple classes (eg Class Act-types with 6 classes × 2 formats = 12 boards or subsequently Avatar of West of Loathing with 3 classes × 2 formats = 6 boards), being on multiple boards for the same ascension type will still only yield 1 commendation of the highest eligible type.
In rare cases, additional commendations are awarded.
- An additional hardcore Gold Star was given in Low Key Summer in response to Chez Snootée offering an eldritch mushroom pizza creating an unbeatable run.
- An additional full set of softcore and hardcore commendations was given in 11,037 Leagues Under the Sea in conjunction with adjustments made to the path that increased the length of runs.
Having a commendation allows access to the /challenge chat channel.
