Low Key Summer
From A KoL Wiki
Low Key Summer is the Summer 2020 special challenge path, introduced on May 15th, 2020. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "Travel to out-of-the-way locations. Variety is key!"
Restrictions
Divergences
- Your adventure begins with Low-Key Summer.
- The Sorceress has removed her contest registration table and hedge maze, but her tower door requires far more than the usual six keys.
- Each key can be found after spending 11 turns in the location where it drops. The key will be dropped in a non-combat adventure on the 12th turn.
- All of the regular Council Quests still need to be completed. Attempting to open the door after using all the keys fails if the Council quests are not complete.
