Valve has released a huge update for Dota 2 with a new event called Crownfall, centered around Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit. Crownfall will last quite a while, and during this time, you will be able to complete many quests, take part in mini-games, see cool lore cutscenes, and get a bunch of great rewards — including new Arcanas. To help you figure it all out, this guide details everything to know about the Crownfall event, so read on to keep up to date.
Dota 2 Crownfall Event Overview
The Crownfall Event unfolds across 4 acts, each spanning roughly a month, ending on August 8th, 2024.
Act I: The Markets of Midgate is live now, accessible through the Dota 2 landing page. A new comic strip introduces the story, starring Vengeful Spirit and Skywrath Mage, heroes who received the coolest brand-new Arcanas. Act I unfolds on a sprawling board map brimming with rewards. You'll begin in the bottom left corner, where an introductory tutorial awaits (it is optional but helpful). To progress, you'll need tokens earned by playing Dota matches with certain heroes. These tokens unlock different rewards and pave your path through the map.
New Features In Dota 2's Crownfall Event
The Crownfall Event comes packed with exciting new features for Dota fans:
- A comic that sheds some light on the backstory of Skywrath Mage.
- An interactive map in the main menu where you can spend tokens to unlock new paths and progress the story while getting new items, lore, and a bunch of other rewards.
- On every Crownfall map, you can find a Candyworks Caravan, where Sithil and Quirt can upgrade your map. Also, you can trade candy for cosmetic items such as hero sets, couriers, wards, and more.
- You can get 15 free Crownfall Coins. For 10 of these coins, you can get about a $7 discount on goods in the Crownfall Shop.
- You will also be able to get 2 Treasures for free, each of which has different item sets. Overall, there are 24 sets.
- In addition, you can unlock 14 free gifts, which include loading screens, sprays, emoticons, voice lines, and more.
- The Midgate Pathfinder Pack will give you access to 2 side quests with even more rewards, as well as more Coins, Candy, Treasures, Styles, Immortal weapon item for Riki, and a bunch of other goodies.
- The Devotions of Dragonus and The Resurrection of Shen Arcanas for Skywrath Mage and Vengeful Spirit for $34.99, each with alternative styles obtainable in Act IV.
Be sure to take advantage of all these benefits because the event will only last so long, and you may run out of time before getting the rewards you want.
