Heavy Rains is the Autumn 2014 special challenge path, introduced on August 15, 2014. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "Torrential rains have flooded the Kingdom, making everything extremely difficult. But you can rise to the challenge (seriously, this one is challenging) with the help of some powerful new skills.
NOTE: Limited-time content from prior to 2012 is disallowed on this path."
Restrictions
- You are not permitted to use Mr. Items or limited-time content that became limited before January 1, 2012. The restrictions are shown in the type 69 schedule (or this static external list).
- Attempting to use a restricted familiar gives this message:
- That familiar is too old to be used on this path.
- Clicking the clan VIP pool table (or trying to view the leaderboard) gives:
- That clan thing is too old to be used on this path.
- Attempting to use a restricted skill gives:
- That skill is too old for this path.
- Attempting to pull a restricted item from Hagnk's while in Ronin gives:
- That item is too old to be used on this path.
- Buying restricted items from the Mall:
- You can't afford that item. (With meat from hagnk's)
- Attempting to use a restricted item:
- That item is too old to be used on this path.
- Attempting to use An Awesome Ball Pit in Hardcore or Ronin:

Divergences
- During combat monsters will be covered by water that increases their monster level the deeper it is. The depth of the water depends on the zone type (indoors, outdoors, underground) and the general difficulty of the zone.
- Wandering monsters will occasionally attack the player. The monster seen depends on the water depth of where you are adventuring:
- Depth 1: giant isopod - drops freshwater fishbone.
- Depth 2: gourmet gourami
- Depth 3: freshwater bonefish
- Depth 4: alley catfish
- Depth 5: piranhadon
- Depth 6: giant tardigrade
- The General Store sells 4 new items during this path:
- water wings for babies - 50 meat - Multi-equippable accessory that raises maximum HP by 10 and lowers moster level by 15.
- miniature life preserver - 100 meat - Familiar equipment that lets your familiar better deal with the rain.
- heavy duty umbrella - 300 meat - Offhand item that lowers the water level when equipped.
- pool skimmer - 500 meat - Offhand item that randomly lets you receive items that have been lost in the water by other players after combat.
Strategy
Notes
- The Trendy-type restriction (no use of limited-time content older than 2012) applies only while Heavy Rains is the current challenge path. On November 15, 2014 this restriction will no longer exist.
- While you are on the path, your profile includes a link to the new restricted item list.
References
Rewards
- Finishing a Heavy Rains run that began while it was still the current special challenge path -- that is, between August 15th, 2014, and November 14th, 2014 -- gives players 100 (in Hardcore) or 50 (in Normal) extra karma points the next time they visit Valhalla.
- You receive a ??? for completing a Normal or Hardcore run while this is the current challenge path.
- Players will receive a ???thwaitgold??? upon defeating the Naughty Sorceress.
