//Editors comment
! e m o c l e WWinter is coming... Hello everyone, Once again we have put together another magazine! Which I proudly present to you!
in and antoher one for the higher level players. So if you are good at finding things or have some crafting skills there might be something to do!
This time around we had a look at the different bosses in King of Kings 3! We even went so far to create a seperate book with all known locations of bosses in The 7 Realms, The Dragon God Realm and The Moon Goddess’ Realm. At this point it isn’t complete, as we haven’t added The Divine Realm to the mix yet! Hopefully you guys will be able to help us with that, through the contest we are having, but you can read more about that within the magazine.
As you will notice the magazine itself has been upgraded. And some things like classes and tomes have been merged together, to make it a little more organized.
We have also prepared a few more into detail articles about a few chosen creatures. You will get to know some of the loot they drop, a little bit of background story and some tricks on how to fight these evil creatures.
I hope that you will like the changes I have made. If you have any ideas for what the magazine might be missing of topics, you are always welcome to contact me through the forums private message system. Greetings from Muninn, SMod I wish you all happy holidays!
Now it is time for Christmas and other holidays soon, so we made sure to add a little bit of holiday mood to the magazine as well! We created stories for existing events and prepared an entirely new one which, we hope, you will like. We wish you a lot of fun! Like I said this month we have not one but two contests! The reason for this is because we wanted to have a contest that everyone could take part

e ws been going on? NWhat’s Hello Community. Christmas is getting closer as well as the end of the year 2012. And if I have to be honest… thank god. The last 12 months have been hard and some well known issues caused a lot of trouble on our and your end. The first thing coming to my mind is the hack in February / March. We learned our lessons and improved what we were able to improve and hopefully such things won’t happen again. Recently after the hack some people found it funny to launch attacks on several data centers across Europe to take them down for hours and somewhere even days. Through both issues you were loyal, kept playing and supported us as good as possible. Your positive and motivating replies on Facebook were a great help and even if we didn’t reply all the time, we noticed them and were absolutely thankful. After a short time without any incident we released the latest expansion Divine Rebirth and the overwhelming amount of features, well, it was overwhelming. For us it was a great success which made the game even bigger and better and we hope to continue that way in the future. We are aware of the fact that we have a lot of things to do and many things need to be adjusted again. You have my word that we’re listening, that we’ve seen everything and that our developer is working on it.
Internally we started a new way handling your suggestions and reports on our end, it was a big success. You haven’t seen much of it in game yet, but many ideas have been discussed and decisions have been made. Of course we can’t inform you about the results yet. ;) Please keep posting your thoughts, share them with us and maybe, one day, you might see exactly your idea in game! As mentioned in the beginning, the year 2013 is just around the corner and I’d like to give you a short impression on what’s coming. Recently we started the known Imamu event again and thanks to our motivated old and new team members we will add other events as well. There are plans for the “Fast Fingers” event (related to dancing), the Card Hunter event will be back, Where Am I will take place on Facebook again and the Puzzle Master will return to the forums. Besides that we are planning on 2 new events where one of them is explained in this magazine. Besides the events we were able to invite 6 new GMs to the team and have some more on the waiting list. Some of you might have seen them in game during Imamu events and if not, you will do so in the future. Besides event and an increased GM activity you will see new features being added to the game.

Some of them have been announced during the Divine Rebirth previews, other features will be more or less new to you. The first one will be released in January already, so stay tuned. As one of the last things I would like to say a few things on the general situation of gamigo. You might have noticed that the company has been sold and is no longer a part of Axel Springer AG. Some of you expected that things will get worse and weren’t sure about the future of the game anymore but from my end, no need to worry. Many things are going on behind the scenes and although I can’t tell you more about it I can say that the changes are positive. King of Kings 3 is a great game with a lot of potential, many ideas and a great community. Finally, at the end of this text and the end of 2012 I would like to thank all of you. Thank you for your patience with us, thank you for your loyalty, for your support, for your ideas and of course all the discussions we had. Thanks as well to my GM team that did an awesome job especially behind the scenes assisting with so many tasks. King of Kings 3 was my first game at gamigo and I wouldn’t want to miss it. We have a great year 2013 in front of us and I hope that I can see all of you in game again as soon as the festivities are over.

! w e i v ter InMuninn Says’ I always try to find new ways in which I can help the players to get a little extra out of their gaming experience. why did you choose your alias /what does it mean?
Muninn is one of Odins two ravens, I always liked the Nordic Mythology and the Gods. Huginns and Muninns purpose was to fly out and gather information about all the news and events during the day and later bring them back to Odin. I thought it would be a fitting name for a GM. position
SMod - Super Moderator
What made you become a part of the gamigo team?
I wanted to get to know the game I love, on another level than as a player. I have a lot of interest in development and design so I was even more motivated. how long have you been a part of the team?
I applied in 2010, so close to 2 years. Fortunately I have no plans of leaving the team any time soon! What is your daily job, in king of kings 3?
I’m mainly in charge of the forum, but I also help answering in-game tickets. Other than that, I am the one who got the KoK3 magazine on its feet, the base idea for that was to help the new players to get a good experience with the game, but also to teach the more advanced players a few tips and tricks. I always try to find new ways in which I can help the players to get a little extra out of their gaming experience as we as GM don’t really have the means to make direct changes to the game. I have more ideas for things to add to the Community aspects. Hopefully you will get to enjoy much more things similar to the magazine!

//Interview - muninn
What are you most proud of in king of kings 3?
The fact that we are a few team members who have been devoted enough to stay on the team through both good and bad times! Also our amazing boss who stays on the job until everyone else has left the building. He goes out of his way to make things happen, and supports the ideas that we have. I don’t think there would be a KoK3 without him! what do you like MOST ABOUT THE COMMUNITY IN king of kings 3?
I like how passionate players can be, the ideas they bring to the game. And the fact that we still have a few players who have been with us since the early game is pretty cool. what do you hate MOST ABOUT THE COMMUNITY IN king of kings 3?
Hate is a strong word to use, but the thing I dislike is sort of the same as the one I really like. Passionate players, I wish we could make them realise that GMs are on their side, fighting to get the things through the players are asking for and would like to get into/ or changed in the game.
What classes do you like? and why do you like them?
I have to say I don’t have the time to play the game any longer due to the amount of work I put in behind the scenes. However my favourite class for all time will be the Saint and a close second would be the Holy Fighter! I know not the most powerful maybe but it’s the class I enjoyed to play!
what are your expectations of next year?
I hope that we can get access to do more things to improve the player experience, both in the Community but also in game! Any final words?
Thank you for reading! - Now have a cookie!
He goes out of his way to make things happen, and supports the ideas that we have. I don’t think there would be a King of Kings 3 without him! What is your favourite feature in king of kings 3?
That would be the guild, legion and kingdom system. All the buildings and the private maps, just for the players in the guild, legion and kingdom. I would love to have more of that kind of features in the game. what do you like to do in king of kings 3?
I liked anything that has to do with chance for some reason. Like opening boxes! But other than that I liked to do things with other players. As it is right now I use a lot of time taking screenshots and preparing for any graphics need we might have.

King of Kings
t h g i l t o Spsanta needs help! Strange winter phenomenons have been seen in the realms of Tangramia lately which caused some Christmas gift issues!
We entered one of the affected zones to find out what is going on and the worst presages have been confirmed... Santas reindeers are on strike! They explained that they received a letter from Santa Claus saying they had been bad this year so they will not receive any gift for Christmas... Doesn’t this smell like a Grinch’s ambush? ... Santa feels terribly sad and surprised by the recent events, but Christmas is just so close and he must rush somehow! Poor old Nick... he is trying new magic flying mounts and honestly, what a disaster... please come and help him, take a rod and fish all the lost stuff!... or this year we all will have coal under the tree... What to do? Go to one of the fishing areas in your realm (Crystal Lakeside, Crystal Village, Forest Hunting Ground) and buy a rod from the Fishing Gear Merchant. Take some bait of your choice and you are ready to start! To fish, you must be near water (always in fishing areas) and right click on the rod in your bag. Then insert the bait into the square and press “Start Fishing”.

You can use automatic mode or doing it manually by clicking on the moving bar that will appear. Every time you click successfully you will be closer to your prize. Remember, if you want to keep the fishes and presents for your own, you can use soulbound rod and bait. Your rewards will be soulbound as well. If you prefer giving Santa back his lost gifts or keep them for your friends, better buy the tools with crown, so you will get unbound stuff ready to be traded.

The goal is to kill the Reindeer and gifts will randomly fall to the ground, the players who picks them up will win the items. So be fast on your fingers! Else you might end up with nothing!

t h g i l t o Spcreatures roaming the realms
We have taken some of the monsters from our monster book, and added some more into depth information about them. You will be able to read a little about the monsters and get to know them before fighting them! We reveal some of the loot you can espect to get, when you are in thier level range!
t h g i l t o SpFlower fairy corpse Roses are red, violetts are blue... What colour would fit for a flower corpse? Probably the one of your darkest nightmares! Take time to stop and smell the flowers at Crescent Road... It is true that all good things must come to an end, and the fairytale for the queen of these flowers did not end happy as she expected... Do you dare to end her suffering? Or might the question be... do you dare to feel her pain??
Name
Flower Fairy Corpse Location
Crescent Road (74, 270)
Level
Green, lvl 80, Magical
Difficulty
It is really hard to handle her bad mood for a brave adventurer of similar level (around 80). It is highly recommended to get a party, as she heals herself if not receiving enough damage… remember, she’s a corpse! Attacks
Sticks and stones may break bones, but a poison pen is the best revenge. This boss manages hard magic attack but is especially skilled in annoying buffs that will make your patience blow…in case you survive. Her main weapon is poison, consuming your HP continuously with no chance to stop. Even if you think you can handle this, the Flower Fairy Corpse has the ability to debuff your own shields and paralyze you for few seconds while the poison runs through your body…

Tip
Maybe it is time to check our gems, they will help to resist!
• Magic Attack • Poison • Debuff • Paralyze
Loot
The Dead Corpse... Every big effort deserves a good reward, as the ones that the Fairy Flower Corpse hides. Books from a wide level range: 80, 85, 90 and 95 of different classes! Raw materials, sundries, small HP/ MP potions and a lot of equipment pieces.

t h g i l t o SpUndead General In the world of Tangramia there used to be a war that lasted for centuries. In one of the shrines was a group of soldiers with a mission. To keep the Insane God locked up in his dungeon. Among this group was a General. His name was unknown to everyone but soon that was going to be changed. Unaware of the fact that Evil Power was leaking out of the chamber the Insane God was kept prisoner. The general started to change into a monster. Pure evil and ready to slay and kill everything that comes near.
Name
Undead General Location
Insane God Shrine Level 10 - 209 110 Level
Purple, lvl 80, physical Difficulty
The boss can be a problem because of the Bleed skill it does, and to avoid his attacks it require a lot of Physical Defence. Attacks
He summons Ghost Bodyguards to protect him. Bleed: Lose 5605 HP every 3 seconds. Tip
Make sure you have enough Health potions ready and use them on time. This way you can make the bleeding be less painfull. Loot
Tome of the wizard “Soul Reave” lvl 90, Tome of the wizard “Fire Breathing Dragon” lvl 90, Tome of the Scholar “Pure Shield” lvl 80, Tome of the knight “Blood Charge” lvl 85, Tome of the Knight “Trample” lvl 80, Tome of Tradition “Sun Gun” lvl 60, Tome of Conjurer “Devour” lvl 95.

t h g i l t o SpEpidemon Spider What got eight legs, is hairy, got 6 to 8 eyes and most people are afraid of it? It is the Epidemon Spider. His natural habitat is a nice and dark Desolated mine. Here he uses his web to trap anything that comes on his path. He communicate by clicking his fangs against each other. One advice is to not use a lighter in this Mine as it is the exact same sound! If you get chased after by him, the thing you have to do is very simple: Keep running, and running and RUNNING!!!!
Name
Epidemon Spider Location
Desolate Mine Layer 6 - 185 160 Level

The boss is not easy with a character on the same level. It require a lot of Magic Defence Attacks
He summons a Cursed Greater Demon who will start to attack. Tip
Move around so the Great Demon vanish for a few seconds. Loot
Tome of the priest “Angel Dust” lvl 105, Tome of the priest “God Light” lvl 90, Tome of the Ranger “Pure Blade” lvl 90. There is a chance in getting lvl 90+ Blue, Green and Yellow equipment.

t h g i l t o SpCERBERUS Hercules was the greatest hero in the Ancient Greece. He had to go through twelve hard challenges to be purified of his sins and reach immortality... Do you guess what the last one was? Imagine a huge dog with three heads and a snake tail guarding the doors to the underworld... yes, Cerberus! And now, are you ready to be the new hero?
Name
Cerberus Location
Campbell Mine Layer 5 (121, 186) Level
Green, lvl 105, Physical Difficulty
It hits hard on players of similar lvl (around 105) and requires high physical defence. You also need to pay attention to elemental damage/absorption. Attacks
Who let the dogs out? Prepare your best equipment to fight Cerberus. This three-headed demon attacks with the soul shatter skill, damaging all the adventurers close to him in every hit. He can occasionally remove your own buffs, so keep your eyes open before it is too late. When Cerberus notices that something is going wrong (about 40% HP left), he starts to summon Hell Hound mobs (lvl 105) to distract you. His last attack will be Body charge, causing fire elemental damage to make you ready for hell...
32
iii
King of Kings
//Spotlight - cerberus
Tip
Before the fight, have a walk to your camp and take some Anti Fire Element pills. Loot
Immortality might sound overrated after killing Cerberus, as nowhere else you will find some books that only him drops! Rare books: 105,110 of different classes! Raw materials, sundries, small HP/ MP potions and a lot of equipment pieces 102-110.

t h g i l t o SpMOLA, The Monster El For Mola the rules of battle are simple: there are no rules. It’s not casual that this land is abandoned; Mola took over the control to be the lord and master of the place and to fry anyone who tried to cross it. If you are thinking about conquering this no-man’s land in Dragon Bone Town, better take a lightning-proof umbrella... The Monster Eliminator lives up to its name attacking from the distance, and you won’t be an exception!
Name
Mola, The Monster Eliminator Location
Abandoned Place (194, 197) (Dragon Bone Town) Level
Purple, lvl 120, Magic Difficulty
Very hard boss for players around lvl 120; deals high critical damage and attacks from long range. Recommended to attack in a party, being separated and moving around the place. Attacks
You won’t see lightning only during a storm. This winged black demon won’t hesitate to make you crazy flying up and down showing his evil smile. Beware his long range attacks if you intend to follow him. His main skill is the lightning fall, causing paralyze status for few seconds that the boss will use to escape or to get close to make sure you will never escape again... But the most dangerous attack is his electrifying thunder, doing perfect critical hits with insane magic and electric elemental damage. They say that to succeed you only need trust, faith and pixie dust... well, for sure they never faced Mola...
34
iii
King of Kings
// Spotlight - mola, the monster eliminator
Tip
Do not stay at one place. Move faster than the boss to avoid being captured. Check your percentage of critical strike defence on your equipment resonances and save a slot on your bag for Anti Storm elemental damage pills.
• Lightning Fall • Paralyze • Thunder (electric damage) • long range Loot
Accessing the Dragon God Realm is an achievement already, however defeating Mola The Monster Eliminator will make you even more proud of yourself and might provide the first books you need to become 3rd class. Already made your decision? Books: 120- 125 of different classes Raw materials, sundries, small HP/ MP potions and a lot of equipment pieces 115-125.

t h g i l t o SpDark dragon Do you still think that dragons are not real?! So did the Sheep Head kings in Moon Goddess Soul Labyrinth until one day suddenly a shadow appeared above the sky. And there it was… a huge Dark Dragon destroying anything on his path. The Sheep Head kings got so scared that they dropped on their knees and surrendered. By doing so they didn’t had a clue that the Dark Dragon put a spell on them… they became his minions. So be aware, adventurer, when you enter the area as not only the Dark dragon will be there to stop you.
Name
Dark Dragon Location
Moon Goddess Soul Labyrinth Level 1 (183, 193) Level
Purple, lvl 140, Magic Difficulty
The boss is quite a challenge with a character on the same level. It requires a lot of Magic Defence so you won’t get grilled to bacon that easily. Attacks
It uses dark purple magic that is able to hurt you a lot. Loot
HP Dyes, Dark Dragon Card, Purple Stone Shards, Mithril Shards. There is a chance in getting Blue, Green and Yellow equipment.

h g u o r h alkt Wquests
& features We have prepared a few walkthroughs related to events that have monsters in them! Some are small and wired others are huge and frightening!
h g u o r h lkt the Demon King! WIaam Can you survive the curse of the Demon King in this no-holds barred royal rumble? In times long gone, when heroes walked the land and dragons trembled at their very mention, the Dark Demon Lord, in a fit of rage, cursed the once beautiful Dragon Whelp Island. Now we need a new hero to lift that curse and bring tranquility back to the land once more.
Go and talk to the Dragon Whelp Island Exorcist in Crystal Lakeside (41, 8) to begin your adventures. Every Tuesday between 9:00-10:00 p.m. and every Saturday between 4:00-5:00 p.m. there are 4 battles:
• • • •
Below level 119 Levels 120 - 149 Levels 150-184 Over level 185
Make sure though that you sign up in advance and that you are Online at least 5 minutes before the quest begins or you will not be able to enter and you will miss out. Your task will not be an easy one. Your path to success will be strewn with the carcasses of the fallen heroes that have failed before you. The Flying Island Teleporter in the safe zone on Flying Island will teleport you to Dragon Whelp Island, where somewhere amongst the dunes and ruins lurks the vile, hideous Demon Lord beast. People say that the Demon Lord was once just an ordinary hero like you, but was transformed by the curse into a dark, evil monster with a lust for killing. Demonic whispers also

h g u o r h alkt Island WHero ATTENTION ALL BOSS HUNTERS & THRILL SEEKERS! Your kingdom needs you in a bitter & bloody battle for its very survival. Did you know there’s a place in Tangramia where you can get your hands on so much loot it would make Indiana Jones turn green with envy? Fifteen spine tingling bosses are waiting to get the chance to rip you to shreds in a daily, multi-realm splatter fest. Fight hard though because if you manage to kill the bosses, the Gods will smother you in riches beyond belief with such things as Bright Stars, Universal Skill Books, Purple Stone Shards, and Mana Sources. The action begins by talking to the Hero Island Teleporter (151, 109) in Element Corridor at 6:00pm. He’s such a nice guy that, with a little payment of just 10 Silver Soul Crowns, will send you over to the Hero Island Arena. With a blinding flash of light you suddenly appear on the sun drenched, sand filled, Hero Island. There’s no time for ice-cream and suntan lotion on this island though. There’s some serious killing to be done. Don’t worry just yet. The area that you have appeared in is safe to everyone. The slaughter can only begin when you cross the line and enter the killing zone. f you have forgotten to arm yourself properly before entering you can go

//Walkthrough - Hero island
and talk to the Bank Manager (126, with bones protruding at strange an252), he will sort you out. But be quick, gles... either way... You won’t forget Hero Island only lasts for 60 minutes Hero Island in a hurry!! before disappearing back into the mists of time, and there’s plenty of killing awaiting you. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME BLOODSHED?
Now that you are tooled up to the teeth, get yourselves into the killing zone and start looking for those bosses. You can be sure that they will be looking for you. Oh BTW, did I mention that every other player in Hero Island is masked and therefore a potential enemy?
THE BOSSES THAT YOU WILL ENCOUNTER ARE
• Great Island Soul - yellow x2 • Great Island Spirit - yellow x2 • Great Island War God - green x1 • Great Island Mage - blue x3 • Great Island Warrior - blue x3 • Great Island Master - purple x1 • Great Island Cleric - blue x3
Yes - Hero Island is for solo killers only, there’s no partying with your friends in here. So be careful, you might just be attacking your best mate. Or they could well be homing in on you with an evil glint in their eyes. As a little bonus, while you are in the killing zone you will get free XP for every 10 seconds that you are brave enough to linger. If all the death and destruction gets too much for you and you need a hug from mummy, you can leave the Hero Island by talking to the Hero Island Manager (124, 219). Today could be a day that you remember for a long long time. You could be going home a hero with swollen bags full of good things, or lying on a stretcher

h g u o r h alkt Beast WDivine Alert!! Alert!! Your kingdom is in danger!! call to arms you will need more than just a few soldiers for this fight! Early warning monster detecting systems have alerted us to a terrible mythical beast that is heading towards your kingdom and is looking to destroy anything in its path.

Kings and kingdom members can attract the mythical beasts between Saturday 19:00 and the following Saturday at 19:00 by donating shillings and monster cards at their habitat. Each donation will give points. The kingdom with the most points that week will attract the beast for sure. Gather all capable heroes to meet this vile creature in your kingdoms habitat and tackle it face to face in a fight for your very existence. If you are a member of the affected kingdom then all you need to do is meet in your habitat at the appointed time. But if not, ask the kingdoms leader for a visa (at the king’s discretion) and you can take part as well. The mythical beast will appear on Saturday at 22:00 in the habitat of the kingdom that has won the rights to the event. The beast will remain there until the king chooses when to fight it. He has seven days to do so before the beast fades away. This gives the

y l t n e u req Questions FAsked got a question? Please go to our forum and check all the old faq’s, the answer might be waiting for you there!
Q: Why don’t we have the same things as the Thai server does? There are a lot of different versions of this game, and the game our version can be compared to is the Taiwanese version not the Thai version, or any other version known.
Q: I lost some of the titles I already had got once, how do I get them back? You have to go and talk to the achievement scholar in Skarabare, near pvp area. Q: When will we have a free class change again? A free class change is something that we have once in a while and it will always be announced on the forum.
The reason why the games are so different from each other is because different developers and teams are working on them. Our King of Kings 3 version can’t compare to anyone in particular other than the Taiwanese, which is not equal to ours only similar. Please keep an eye on the forum for any information related to class change, please do not Q: Why don’t I see any SP send in tickets asking as you will get the same answer by doing so! We know you like it, but Instances on the quest list? To get access to SP Instances, you will have it can’t happen too often. ;) to be in a guild. The guild also needs to be of a level which unlocks the actual SP Instance. Q: why am I out of mana? Q: why are My guards/summons If you do not donate enough mana to the Mana Forge, the mana will slowly empty due not attACKING THE MOBS? Sometimes the guards and summons cause to the fact that a lot of the kingdom buildings troubles, the hot fix for that is to close down uses mana to function, when you run out the the game, then reboot your whole pc and buildings will stop working and you won’t be start up the game again. This will get rid of able to get into the kingdom without donating mana to the National Official. that problem!
