Audrey Quest 2025 [posted on behalf of Freyja] It is that time of year once again, and we will be waking up Audrey for the annual attempt at the quest. The plan is always to wake up Audrey in December, but some players are going to try waking her up in November. So, the plan for this year has changed slightly. For anyone attempting the quest this year, you should already have the steps done and be building troops and/or diplos to feed to Audrey. You also need to convince your friends and alliance mates to help feed Audrey because it takes millions of units. We need all the units we can get. These steps should be done already, if attempting the quest: 1. finish all crafting research in 1 city 2. send spies to the Fortune Teller, until you get the quest fortune 3. wait 5 days for the old crone to visit your city 4. have a full set of corrupted tentacles in your inventory (5 of each race) 5. send a messenger to Duraz Karag **Steps must be done BEFORE Audrey wakes up** (see the Audrey 101 forum post for a full explanation) TAKE NOTES!!! Record all activities related to the quest – date/time for the Fortune Teller, date/time for the old crone, date/time for Duraz Karag Record what is going on with your city – vault lvl, city wall lvl, other buildings Record troops #s – troops sent to Audrey (before AND after she wakes up), troops reinforcing the city, diplos reinforcing the city (especially thieves) Take notes on everything because we do not know how to solve the quest and all information could be useful. This part of the plan has not changed -- we still want to try feeding Audrey even after she wakes up. The temples and getting corrupted tentacles is not important, and we need players to send all units directly to Audrey. This is an experiment and we don’t know if it will work or not, but it is a very well thought out theory and plan, so I hope the community will help us feed Audrey and solve this quest, finally. We need as many players as possible to help with this huge chore. We can’t do it without all of you. Please help us. Recap: Players should have already done the steps and time is running out to get them done. Players are going to start feeding Audrey in November, a month earlier than expected, but it’s okay. When Audrey wakes up, keep feeding units DIRECTLY TO AUDREY, not the temples. Feed Audrey until she is “sated” and we get the 2nd old crone visit, that happens while Audrey is awake. As always, you can email me (Freyja) in-game or post questions here.
Or email Remy. This theory we are trying was his idea, and he knows
what’s going on. |

TLDR: We are going to have troops land on the heart on the 10th of November. This will 100% wake her up. What we need after her waking up is troops to still keep going into the heart. Ignore the temples unless you want tentacles, if you want to progress Audrey, send to the heart.

Great idea and good work organising, Thorfinn. If we solve the quest it'll be legendary, beats another tourney medal at least :P I'll throw in 3 or 4 million xp, will figure out what troop types and mail it to you.

| Based on GC chat it seems multiple people aren't getting the old crone to visit their cities, namely in cities that have attempted the quest before. Anyone know why that might be? |

Jah has made a ticket, he has the same issue. I had heard from someone that if you failed Audrey on a quest town previously it would reset so another attempt can be done. When I say "fail", I.e no one fed her enough, not the towns with tentacles outside.

I suppose it could be a number of things but we have no idea which. The quest failed and that city can never make another attempt. The quest failed and reset. That would indicate we should get the old crone again. The quest is incomplete. Old crone only visits once and no need for it to visit again. The old crone is triggered by something other than just visiting the fortune teller. There is a bug for repeat attempts. |

My army woke it up with a special message I had not got any other time within my mail at the bottom: "Rumour reports that after your units disappeared in the Corrupted Lands, more land became twisted and dark. Verdant jungle has become infested with putrid fungus and dark creepers, as though the destruction of your forces had fuelled the spread of the corruption to nearby lands."

| That’s the standard message you get for troops landing on Audrey before she’s started beating, probably what happened is the army that woke audrey got that message and all your subsequent ones got the different message for when they land while she’s already beating |

Are you sure ? I thought the message you get every time is: Rumours suggest that, after many deaths in the Corrupted Lands, the contagion spreads to more surrounding lands. But there is no report that following the loss of your units, the corruption has spread. The one I posted looks slightly different.

Message after heart wakes Rumours suggest that, after many deaths in the Corrupted Lands, the contagion spreads to more surrounding lands.

Interesting concept for future rounds - at the lowest large volume sell price for siege blocks ballistas are cheaper than sentinels per XP If they contribute to spreading tentacles we could pump catapults when not otherwise occupied to ramp Audrey up, then switch to faster training troops when there's a lot of corrupted squares to build up the XP to double trigger the heart

On November 10, 2025, the Moon was in the Waning Gibbous phase, with about 66% illumination. We've passed through a new moon since and as of today sit in the first quarter. Will Audrey continue to beat until a particular phase (full moon)? Or is it a predetermined number of days from the start? -------------

I have been told she stays awake for 18 days, it has been 17 days. If it follows this path, she will fall asleep tomorrow at 17:06:42 GMT.

She is currently beating for more than 18 days. 432 hours and 38 minutes. |

Would build time be a barrier to this plan?

Let me see. Ballistas train 14.4 xp/hr vs Stals 26.5, so it definitely makes sense to switch to the fastest units for the final build up Also there's no upkeep building for catas, so I think the price difference between continually trained Stals and Ballistas closes in 80 days if the Stals have one upkeep building. It looks like catapults are only especially good for kickstarting the next phase along with t1 scouts if you have towns without troop upkeep buildings Building scout lookouts to support cranking T1 scouts, and then T2 when the shift to building up xp comes is probably a much bigger ROI |

My bet was around the full moon as it's the most supernatural of all the phases, I hope a message appears shortly, she stops beating later into the day matching her time of waking up and then we get them escaping on the new moon. If not, I am baffled with how they managed to get a message 3 days in and actually progressed lol. It seems to increasingly do random stuff. |

Very possible the feeding of the heart extends the window and something, like the temples, needs feeding to a bigger degree or something done to the temples ?
|
Posted By: DeathDealer89
Date Posted: 05 Dec 2025 at 19:42

I haven't seen the mass feeding to the temples this time around that I have in previous times. Maybe a certain number of units need to spawn out of the temples. This time everyone was focused on feeding Audrey over the temples. Of course all this just changes how long she beats it still doesn't help us figure out how to trigger the next part of the quest. |
Posted By: Thorfinn1
Date Posted: 06 Dec 2025 at 11:43
In the discord I had a massive conversation how it could lean to that, waking her up + a decent amount fed to the heart and then the feeding of the temples weakens her. The temples appear for a reason, I would very much doubt only to gain tentacles. Surely when they appear, they're apart of the next stage otherwise why do they not appear first for people to get tentacles and take part ?

As a minor update... I sent 1 commander and my weakest dragon to Audrey, to see if the dragon unit would come back unscathed like what happens with the elemental troops. As far as I know this is the same message that I got when I sent to feed her... RIP dragon dude. He died for science. "As your army from 1.- ElfsesTopia
moves deeper into Melder territory, the vegetation becomes twisted,
wildlife scarce. Your troops have heard the rumours, that none who enter
these lands return,
and they are greatly concerned. But you command, and they obey.
As they approach [-994|-824] in Kumala they can see trees twisted out of shape, their trunks split by fungal growths which have erupted from within, dark vines strangling their branches. It seems that the creepers ensnaring the trees are moving slowly, perhaps blown by the wind. Or perhaps it is not the wind. Your troops press on, moving closer to their destination. But you hear no more from them. Your army has vanished without a trace, and there are no remains from which to resurrect your commanders, who are now entirely destroyed. Rumours suggest that, after many deaths in the Corrupted Lands, the contagion spreads to more surrounding lands. But there is no report that following the loss of your units, the corruption has spread. The vines already curl and twist with a malevolent energy, a dull thumping beat already echoes through the jungle; however, the deaths of your units have not exacerbated the situation." |

Reposting this from Freyja as she is having trouble getting onto her forum account. Audrey Quest 2025-UPDATES WE DID IT!!! Thank you to everyone who supported the quest and helped out with feeding millions of units to Audrey.
This is what has happened so far: Nov 10 4:05 am Audrey woke up Dec 19 2:18 am Players received the 2nd old crone visit – “the horror has stirred” At this time, Audrey was still awake. Usually, she is awake for about 18 days, but she continued beating much longer this year. Players who attempted the quest years ago also got the old crone visit, and some in more than 1 town. One player got it in 11 towns and another in 8. That is the most I’ve heard about. But not everyone got it who had tried previously. Also of note, kubluntu got the old crone visit in the original quest town from 2014. He is the last remaining player who did the quest in 2014 and his tentacle town is still in the same location. On Dec 21, it was noticed that tentacle was gone. Former town locations with noxious spores and tentacles were also returned to normal. Dec 21 20:00 Audrey stops beating after 41 days, and for the first time, it was announced in GC. [20:00]<System> ** News flash: The pulse of a dark, unnatural force has ceased . . yet a troubling mist spreads across Illyria, and the land holds its breath. Dec 21 20:01 Players received a new message saying The Heart falls silent, and towns were covered in noxious spores/mist.
What to expect and what to do: We are in unknown territory now. But we do know that in 2014, the tentacles escaped from towns on the new moon, after Audrey stopped beating. The next new moon is January 18. We need to keep the tentacles safe in our towns and not let them get out. Surround towns with armies. We know that surrounding the tentacles kept them from spreading, and we’re hoping it keeps them from getting out too. But we don’t know for sure. Reinforce towns with armies, and get your friends to help. You need friends to help. Some players have vaults. No one had vaults in 2014, so it might help. We don’t know for sure. Take notes on everything going on with your town, how many units you sent to Audrey, how many units you sent to the temples, and anything else that could be important. And please be willing to share your notes because we have not solved the quest yet. Please add other notes and observations here on this thread. |

The following list is about 95% accurate as I failed to keep track of the early attacks. After the 2nd of December I kept exact records of all diplo's sent directly to the heart... Initial troops sent arrived between 9th November and the 14th, after that I sent only t1 scouts in groups of 500. Armies sent total around 1302570xp, they were t1 and t2 spears and t2 Swords. Diplos (mainly t1 scouts) sent before the 2nd December = 82260. Then all attacks were 500 t1 scouts... 2/12 =28 3/12 =8 4/12 =12 5/12 =7 6/12 =8 7/12 =10 8/12 =14 9/12 =14 10/12 =10 11/12 =11 12/12 =10 13/12 =11 14/12 =11 15/12 =7 16/12 =10 17/12 =8 18/12 =10 19/12 =9 20/12 =12 21/12 =6 A total of 108000 t1 scouts in 216 missions over 20 days

Your quartermaster knocks quietly at the door of your study. He looks perturbed, and you beckon him to speak. "My liege... I don't know how to put this. I know you entrusted us to protect those foul and corrupted tentacles deep within the city stores - a task we have not taken lightly. However, my liege, they're... they're gone. Vanished." He takes you to the stores to show you, and gestures to the once sturdy but now partially broken glass jars that held each tentacle in preserving fluid. "See? They've been taken. We've searched the entire area, but it's been more difficult than expected to see anything at this late hour - the thief must've planned to do this under the cover of darkness, and this foul unnatural fog!" The quartermaster continues to talk as you survey the area - but a sudden chill runs down your spine as you realise that the way the shattered fragments of glass have fallen would suggest that they were shattered from the inside of the jar. "Anyway", says the quartermaster, "We'll continue our search through the night and at first light tomorrow, though, don't you worry - the entire guard is out looking for this foolish thief!"
You return to your study, deep in thought. 250K T2 thieves and a level 20 vault did nothing

Your chamber grows suddenly cold. From the corner of your vision, a pale shimmer gathers, resolving into the familiar translucent outline of the ancient Dwarven warrior you encountered within the halls of Duraz Karag. He regards you in silence for a long moment.The figure speaks with a deep, slow voice, though his lips do not move.“You have walked far upon this path, and you have not done so lightly.I spoke plainly to you. I warned you of what was required, and of what was forbidden.Yet you chose to disregard my words.The corrupted flesh you were charged to safeguard has been removed from this city, sent away as though it were common spoil, rather than the focus of a far greater trial. In doing so, you have broken the chain of purpose that bound this place to the test ahead. Know this: such things cannot simply be moved without consequence. What was taken has slipped beyond your reach, and the moment has passed. You may yet continue your preparations, should the opportunity arise again . . but this city will advance no further until what was lost is restored. Listen more carefully, should I deign to speak to you again.” The figure fades, leaving behind only a lingering chill and the unmistakable sense that you have disappointed something ancient – and patient. Message put into discord for someone who didn't have enough tentacles to begin with.

I did not receive the "chamber grows suddenly cold" message, but I did receive the "quartermaster" in all of my active cities. My guess on early data is that the "chamber grows suddenly cold" message is due to a lack of a vault AND/OR a city in which at least 5 of each tentacle is NOT present. I am setting up occupying forces around my cities. I'll put some thieves in there to see what happens. I'll also see if Duraz Karag has anything new to city in response to messengers and thieves. Sounds like if you received either message that your tentacles are no longer in your town inventory? Does this hold for ALL cities? Even those not progressing in the quest? I still have tentacles in the hubs. -------------

Another thread has the message for when you send to misted lands. "Within the fog they cannot see even an inch in front of their faces. They blunder around for a while hoping for some break in the mists, but all in vain and they head home - defeated by the swirling, clammy, enshrouding air." I assume it changes if its a quest city. Or something else. |

As expected I got nothing from sending spies to the crags. If this is a last person standing sov issue for only 14 cities, I might have to quit Illy for good. |

I'd like to ask that people refrain from claiming multiple squares, work with you NAPs and Confeds to sort out which mountain to send to. I've confirmed working with Othello in Althing that friendly alliances can occupy the same location. Alien/Probe ------------- Alien |

Just a quick note to say that I am not on the right stage of the quest BUT that since the mist disappeared, I decided to send an army or two now to the high peaks to see what would happen. It turns out that the mist still exists BUT its invisible mist. I got the blundering about in the mist message and the army turned right around as it used to do when the mist was there. So now the methodology seems to have been solved, next time I will have a go if the gypsies come close enough to a city in the first place. One city did start the quest BUT I forget which one it was as it was years and years ago. And I have so many tentacles for the future (132h,177e,547d,57o). I think the best way to deal with the potential upsets from armies/naps/confeds etc is to make a special 3rd stage quest alliance and put all the relevant questors in it temporarily. Next time.

Did anyone actually fight each other or were landing armies all considered neutral squares so far? Also any apparent change when claiming sov? |

Well...we have a Confed with VortX, a NAP with SMA and I sent a request to DLord. Hopefully that will eliminate any possible issues. We have about 6 hours till that army lands.

I've launched at -631, 761 for giggles. And I'm currently on -642, 758 and claiming sov. Sorry to the fellow I knocked off, this peak, and the one mentioned above, was empty when I launched. I'm open to cooperation and bribes. -------------

Team, just jumping in on this one. There are no special modified peace of camp rules for the 14 Bleak Mountains in the currently de-misted Misted Lands -- they are functioning in the same manner as any passable map square. Army encampments with NAPs have always enjoyed peace of camp in the same manner that confederated armies do. Thanks!

You know JJ, I've never really tried to occupy a square with others in that manner. It's always been in an attacking situation. Thank you for the clarification.

There have been some scuffles on the TDF square, but nothing major. Claiming sov hasn't seemed to change anything for me. I did get a weird error when upping my sov claim to level 2, but I couldn't get it copied before it went away when i clicked a different screen ------------- Alien |
