NEW QUESTS

High Priority
Doctor Strange starts

Doctor Strange: I'm here to set you free, Wong.
Wong: It would have made more sense to free me first.
Doctor Strange: I knew you could handle being trapped longer than anyone else. You're the rock of the team.
Wong: You always say that right before you ask me to do you a favor.
Doctor Strange: I'm not asking much. I just need you to defeat The Dread Dormammu.

Free Wong!

Courtesy of S. Soto


Wong: Dormammu is composed of pure mystic energy. His raw power and ability to manipulate the forces of magic are beyond all of our powers combines. We have no chance of winning.
Doctor Strange: I'm sure we have a small chance.
Wong: No chance.
Doctor Strange: I know for a fact that we have an excellent chance.
Wong: How?
Doctor Strange: Because we have Wong.
Wong: Don't sweet talk me, Stephen Strange.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts




Get Wong!

Doctor Strange starts

Wong: I'll search through the ancient texts, and see if I can find anything that might give us a chance against Dormammu.
Doctor Strange: Sounds good. I borrowed a few books, so don't worry if some are missing.
Wong: You know those books should never leave my sight.
Doctor Strange: I know. I was just trying to find a way to stop Dormammu, but he burned the books before I had a chance to read them.
Wong: I'll make him pay...
Doctor Strange: That's the spirit.
Wong: You lied to make me angry, and more willing to fight Dormammu...
Doctor Strange: Yup.
Wong: I'll make you both pay...


Recruit Wong!
- 8 Library Cards (from Tomes of Kamar-Taj)

(from Dark Dimension Essence)
- 6284 Arcane Artifacts
(Special Event Missions)



Pepper Potts: Welcome to Avengers Academy, Wong! Is there anything we can get you?
Wong: No, thank you. All I need are my books, and a place to train. I like to keep my life simple, so that I can be as organized and productive as possible.
Pepper Potts: ...
Wong: Is something wrong?
Pepper Potts: You're just...I'm just...I'm just so happy you're here...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Get Organized Pt. 1
Wong starts

Wong: It's important that everyone stays away from my books.
Pepper Potts: Don't worry. We haven't had a single report of theft since the time I dragged Yondu to Director Fury's office by his ear.
Wong: I'm not worried about them being stolen. Just opening some of my magical texts could potentially end entire dimensions.
Pepper Potts: I knew you were too good to be true.

Wong Get Organized! 1m

Odin: The most valuable knowledge is always the most difficult to obtain.
Wong: Librarian problems.
Odin: You must be an extraordinary librarian to be charged with protecting such important books at such a young age.
Wong: A tournament was held amongst mystic librarians. We answered questions about paper maintenance, practiced proper shushing, and fought to the death. I was victorious.
Odin: Amazing! I wish I could have witnessed the battle!
Wong: We lost a lot of bookmarks that day...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts 

Get Organized Pt. 2
Wong starts

Wasp: Hey Wong! I'm Wasp! Our names are almost the same!
Wong: Yes. They are very close.
Wasp: What do you do for fun?!
Wong: Learn new spells. Practice my techniques. Read blogs by notable librarians...
Wasp: You're so boring!

Wong Regulate, 1m
Wasp Get Crazy! 3m
Loki Master the Dance Floor, 2h

Wasp: Did you have fun?!
Wong: Not at all. Not only was it unproductive, but Loki stared at me the entire time.
Wasp: He totally wanted to battle!
Wong: A magic battle on the dance floor?
Wasp: A dance battle on the dance floor!
Wong: Our dimension is in danger. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

Get Organized Pt. 3
Wong starts

Wong: You've mastered the Heart of Cthulhu?! I thought it was impossible!
Cthulhu Black Widow: I'm working on it. I still crave insanity every once in a while.
Wong: Amazing. Someone should be documenting your transformation for future research...
Cthulhu Black Widow: First I need your help to clear the Dark Dimension creatures out of the Sanctum Sanctorum. If we don't die, I'll let you write my biography.

Black Widow Search for Clues, 1m

Doctor Strange: Nice work, Wong! You should think about permanently joining me in the Sanctum Sanctorum. I could use your help to organize everything, and fulfill my duties as Sorcerer Supreme.
Wong: I was your tutor, Stephen Strange. I'm certainly not going to be your servant.
Doctor Strange: Think of it more as a formidable caretaker of the house and its artifacts. Do you really want to be a librarian the rest of your life?
Wong: Perhaps. It's an honorable profession, and it pays well.
Doctor Strange: Are you saying you'll only help me in the Sanctum Sanctorum if I pay you?
Wong: I'm all about the benjamins.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Deadly Librarian Pt. 1
Wong starts

Wong: Who do I talk to about the timefog?
Pepper Potts: What do you mean?!
Wong: Its properties. Its contents. Its origins. Etcetera.
Pepper Potts: Professor Pym?
Wong: I tried that. It was not a productive conversation.
Pepper Potts: I'll try to find you some documentation...
Wong: Thank you, but I'm a librarian. I can find the information myself.

Wong Get Organized! 1m
Wong Discuss History! 1m

Tech Wizard Iron Man: What were you talking to J.A.R.V.I.S. about?
Wong: The timefog. I'm concerned about not only how it came to be, but what might come out of it next.
Tech Wizard Iron Man: Tell me about it. One time I found my smashed helmet in there, and I hadn't even built the helmet yet.
Wong: Fascinating...
Tech Wizard Iron Man: I know. Another time I found Cap's shield in there, but I threw it back just to mess with him.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

Deadly Librarian Pt. 2
Wong starts

The Ancient One: What are you studying, Wong?
Wong: I'm investigating this mysterious timefog, but the answers are more elusive than my trickiest books. I think I'll have to consult the masters.
The Ancient One: I'll be happy to help you any way I can.
Wong: Thank you, but this is beyond sorcery. I need to consult the master librarians...

Upgrade Wong! 17 x Sling Rings (Defeat Bosses), 8914 Arcane Artifacts



Wong Study Great Librarians, 1m

The Ancient One: Did studying the master librarians teach you anything about the timefog?
Wong: No, but I discovered the existence of a collection of lost texts that might provide the answer.
The Ancient One: You don't have to hide your excitement about finding a hidden cache of ancient spellbooks...
Wong: It's so cooooooooooool!

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Underground Knowledge Pt. 1

Wong starts

Wong: They tell me you're the most serious and organized person at Avengers Academy.
Maria Hill: I'm working to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. It's my responsibility to always be prepared for anything.
Wong: I may need your help for an important mission. It could be dangerous.
Maria Hill: I'm not going to make a joke about danger being my middle name.
Wong: I appreciate your lack of humor.

Wong Pull Your Weight, 1m
Wong Practice Self Defense, 1m

Maria Hill: Looks like you're preparing for a fight...
Wong: I've discovered the existence of a series of ancient spellbooks. They may literally contain the secrets behind the origin of our universe. I'm assuming they're well protected...
Maria Hill: I thought Director Fury hid those secrets...
Wong: Here?!
Maria Hill: No! What?! You caught me off guard with your refreshing seriousness. Classified! Classified!
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

Underground Knowledge Pt. 2
Wong starts

Wong: I'd like access to the ancient magical texts you keep hidden at the Academy.
Nick Fury: What makes you think I have hidden magic books?
Wong: Do you?
Nick Fury: Classified. If I did, what would you want with them?
Wong: Classified.
Nick Fury: Fine. You talked me into it.

Upgrade Wong! 27 x Sling Rings (Defeat Bosses), 11096 Arcane Artifacts

Odin: These aren't the books you're looking for...

Odin: Give or take a Realm...

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Lost Texts Pt. 1

Wong starts


Wong: I'm going on a journey for lost magical texts.
Cthulhu Black Widow: Congratulations.
Wong: Lost magical texts that explain the origins of the timefog.

Black Widow Pretend to Have Fun, 1h

Wong: No one seems very eager to join our journey for the lost magical texts...
Cthulhu Black Widow: They'd probably be more excited if it was lost magical phones.
Wong: Maybe they would have been more excited if I'd told them we'd be the first humans to ever travel to the Tenth Realm...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

Lost Texts Pt. 2
Wong starts

Wong: I will be journeying to the Tenth Realm of Heven in search of ancient texts that may reveal the origins of the timefog and our entire universe. Who will join me?
Loki: Tenth Realm?! This entire time I could have been calling myself the greatest sorcerer in all the Ten Realms?! No one tells me anything!
Cthulhu Black Widow: I'm actually pretty excited about this. I heard it's nothing but badass warrior girls.
Tech Wizard Iron Man: Same.
Nico Minoru: I'll help. Something tells me this somehow has something to do with my parents...
Sif: Odin wants me to try to locate a lost warrior while we're there...
M.O.D.O.K.: Did someone say M.O.D.O.K.?!
Wong: No.
M.O.D.O.K.: Oh. M.O.D.O.K. understands...
Wong: But we could use your help.
M.O.D.O.K.: SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Upgrade Wong! 40 x Sling Rings (Defeat Bosses), 16245 Arcane Artifacts



Wong Find Lost Texts, 1m

Sif: That did not go as planned...
Wong: If M.O.D.O.K.'s calculations are correct, the probability of the ancient books ever being in the Tenth Realm are very low.
Sif: This must have been all about trying to find his daughter. Where do you think the books are being kept?
Wong: I don't know, but as the Angels were driving us out of their realm, I heard them mention that the books were currently held by the Queen of Hel...

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

 
Get Elemental Wong!
Doctor Voodoo starts


Doctor Strange
: I figured you were too grounded to be a fire guy...
Elemental Wong: Fire isn't about anger or pragmatism. It is both creative and destructive. We use it to warm our homes, cook our food, and ward off darkness.
Doctor Strange: I think you just want to make a bunch of jokes about being hot.
Elemental Wong: If you can't stand the heat, stay out of Wong's vision.


Get Elemental Wong!

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


The Dread Dormammu!

Doctor Strange starts

Doctor Strange: Dormammu...
Dormammu: Everything in your life has led to this moment, Sorcerer Supreme. It will soon end in your death.
Doctor Strange: I'm not alone, Dormammu. The Young Masters of the Mystic Arts will send you back to the Dark Dimension.
Dormammu: Bring every sorcerer from every dimension. They all will fall before the Dread Dormammu.
Doctor Strange: I thought I had a big ego...
Dormammu: It's not bragging if you can back it up.


Defeat Dormammu! Guard Zealot (800HP), Guard Portal (800HP), Dormammu (2400HP), requires Fire Wizard Staff and fight with Doctor Strange recruited and outfitted characters



Doctor Strange: I guess conquering this dimension won't be as easy as you thought...
Dormammu: Don't flatter yourself, Doctor Strange. This was nothing more than a test of your powers...
Doctor Strange: But I like flattering myself...
Dormammu: I like making slaves out of anyone who defies me...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Dark Matters
Black Widow starts


Nico Minoru: Do you ever think it's weird that there's so many guys walking around with their head on fire?
Dormammu: Step aside, child.
Nico Minoru: Excuse me?!
Dormammu: Shut your mouth and move out of my way or there will be pieces of deceased witch littering this campus.
Nico Minoru: I don't even know if you're alive, but you are so dead...

Defeat Dormammu 3 Times!


Dormammu: You'll regret this, witch. You and everyone in your family is doomed.
Nico Minoru: Yeah, that's pretty much normal.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Fight Fire With Magic
Mordo starts

Mordo: Perhaps we can make a deal, Dormammu.
Dormammu: I don't make deals with mortals.
Mordo: If you can help me become more than mortal, I can help you secure this dimension.
Dormammu: I don't make deals with mortals or immortals. Dormammu has always stood above all.
Mordo: All evil beings must come to an end...

Defeat Dormammu 5 Times!


Mordo: Are you ready to make a deal?
Dormammu: Yes.
Mordo: I'm glad you've finally come to your senses.
Dormammu: If you beg for mercy now, I'll let you serve me in this dimension. If you don't, I'll crush the life out of you, and cast you into the Flames of the Faltine.
Mordo: We'll see if you change your terms when you're trapped for eternity in one of Fury's cells...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Prove Your Mastery
Doctor Voodoo starts

Doctor Voodoo: We're crafting a cell strong enough to hold you, Dormammu. Doctor Strange has already begun to close the doorway to the Dark Dimension It's over. You've failed. 
Dormammu: You foolish humans always think you understand things that are beyond your comprehension.
Doctor Voodoo: I understand death. I can take you there.
Dormammu: You only know a shred of what death means, Doctor Voodoo. Dormammu knows the whole enchilada.

Defeat Dormammu 7 Times!


Dormammu: This can't be possible...
Doctor Voodoo: Anything is possible when you work with the forces of good.
Dormammu: Not worth it.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts




A Strange Coincidence
Doctor Strange starts

Nick Fury: Are you sure this cell is strong enough to hold Dormammu?
Doctor Strange: Pretty sure.
Nick Fury: Great.
Doctor Strange: Iron Man, Black Panther, and Professor Pym designed the cell. Every sorcerer at this school used every sealing spell we know to strengthen its walls. We bet Hulk twenty tacos he couldn't break it, and he didn't even leave a scratch.
Nick Fury: Keep me posted. It's the test cell to hold someone a lot stronger than Dormammu...

Defeat Dormammu at Streak 7 four times!


Get Dormammu's Cell!

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts



Winter Chills

Doctor Strange starts

Doctor Strange: I stole some of Dormammu's power during our battle without him noticing. My magic should be powerful enough to permanently seal the dimensional rift.
Nick Fury: Good. Do it.
Doctor Strange: Don't you want to wait until we send Dormammu back to the Dark Dimension?
Nick Fury: No. He's staying where I can keep an eye on him...


WORLD NEWS: WINTER CHILLS
Great news from Avengers Academy as the Young Masters of the Mystic Arts have teamed with the Avengers to defeat Kaecilius, and battle the Dread Dormammu. Doctor Strange was able to use his sorcery to close the nearby dimensional rift, protecting the Academy from future extradimensional threats, and creating a magical seal to prevent new dimensional breaches. Meanwhile, we continue to get unrelated reports from across the globe of record freezing tempreratures, and thunderstorms that inexplicably rain down chunks of fallen Frost Giants. If my landlord doesn't hurry up and fix my heater, the Newscaster Supreme is gonna bring the thunder.




Doctor Strange Supreme Solution! 1m

Doctor Strange: The spell worked. It will take some time for the dimensional rift to completely close, but I also created a seal around the entire campus to prevent future dimensional anomalies.
Nick Fury: Good work, Strange. Now tell me everything you know about Dark Elf magic...

The Doctor Is In

Doctor Strange starts

Doctor Strange
: Doctor.
Doctor Voodoo: Doctor.
Doctor Strange: I think it's time we introduced Kaecilius and his friends to a different sort of magic.
Doctor Voodoo: The magic of dance?
Doctor Strange: No, we've been trying that for a couple weeks, but I don't think it's working.

Free Doctor Voodoo!


Doctor Strange
: Do you think you can seal the Dark Dimension with voodoo?
Doctor Voodoo: I believe so. I'll need some magic crows...
Doctor Strange: I'm sure Odin will let you borrow his...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Get Doctor Voodoo!
Mordo starts

Mordo
: We're gathering everything you need to perform your voodoo magic.
Doctor Voodoo: What are you planning, Mordo?
Mordo: What are you talking about?
Doctor Voodoo: I know you. I've spent years studying human behavior. I have a degree in psychology. I can tell you're hiding something...
Mordo: Maybe your mind was warped after spending so much time in the Dark Dimension.
Doctor Voodoo: Maybe. Or maybe there are greater dangers than the Dark Dimension...



- 4 Sacred Rattles (from Doctor Voodoo's Cat)

Pepper Potts: I'll see what I can find online...
Doctor Voodoo: And a guitar amp. I play Haitian death metal.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts 


Get Elemental Doctor Voodoo!
Doctor Voodoo starts

Doctor Strange: I never pictured you as an air element guy...
Elemental Doctor Voodoo: Air is more than a cool breeze and fluffy clouds. This armor lets me harness the power of hurricanes, tornadoes, and lightning.
Doctor Strange: I don't think lightning is air... 
Elemental Doctor Voodoo: Lightning comes from the sky.
Doctor Strange: So does rain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure rain is made of water.
Elemental Doctor Voodoo: Why are we arguing about lightning when we should be fighting Kaecilius?
Doctor Strange: You're right. If I see you shoot him with lightning, I'll admit I'm wrong... 



Get Elemental Doctor Voodoo!

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts 
 

Get Supreme Enchantress
Enchantress starts

Enchantress
: You're always finding new ways to overcompensate...

Get Supreme Enchantress!

- 40 Ravens
(Special Event Missions)
- 4 Emerald Feathers

(Quest Limited 2d - you can still purchase The Ancient One for the rest of the event)
Doctor Strange starts

Doctor Strange: I'm here to set you free...
The Ancient One: That's nice of you, Stephen, but I can free myself anytime I please.
Doctor Strange: Why haven't you?
The Ancient One: I'm your tutor. I wanted to see how you and Mordo would do without me. It's also given me time to visit the Astral Dimension, and speak to previous Ancient Ones about how to best stop Kaecilius.
Doctor Strange: How do we stop him?
The Ancient One: The past Ancient Ones have all discussed the matter at length, and feverishly studied the archaic texts for answers...
Doctor Strange: And?!
The Ancient One: Everyone agrees that it's probably best if I punch him in the face.


Get The Ancient One! 525 Shards


Pepper Potts: Welcome to Avengers Academy, The Ancient One! I have to say, you don't look very ancient...
The Ancient One: Thank you. It's just a title. I'm new on the job.

Pepper Potts: Tell me about it.


Reward: 50 Shards 
 

Defeat Kaecilius!

Doctor Strange starts

Kaecilius: It's time to end this, Doctor Strange. You versus me. Everything in our training has always been leading to this very moment.
Doctor Strange: Has it? I feel like you're more of a distraction than a destination. I find it very hard to believe that the Sorcerer's Supreme ultimate destiny is fighting a guy with a ponytail.


Defeat Kaecilius! Guard Zealot 400 HP (Fight with Peerless Being), Guard Portal 400 HP (Fight with Peerless Book)
Kaecilius 900 HP, requires Air Wizard Staff (Craft at Elemental Laboratory!) and fight with Doctor Strange characters & costumed characters

Kaecilius: I'm only getting started. I haven't even begun to tap into the power I've gained from the Dark Dimension.
Doctor Strange: Wouldn't it make more sense to tap into all of that power at the very beginning? I'm really starting to question your villainous master plan...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Evil Sorcerer!

Iron Man starts

Kaecilius: It's not too late for you, Mordo. You can join forces with me. I can show you how to take power from the Dark Dimension.
Mordo: I don't have anything against seeking power. I have many things against you.
Kaecilius: You're wasting your talents working for Doctor Strange.
Mordo: I work for myself. It just so happens that every sane person in the world is working together against you...

Defeat Kaecilius 3 Times!

Kaecilius: You'll regret this, Mordo. You'll never be anything more than Strange's sidekick. You'll never be the Sorcerer Supreme.
Mordo: Maybe not. But that doesn't mean I can't be something better...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Bad Dreams!
Black Widow starts


Cthulhu Black Widow: Your sanity is slipping, Kaecilius. You invited a master of the Dark Dimension into your mind, and he's making a mess of things.
Kaecilius: From the girl who voluntarily merged with the epitome of cosmic horror.
Cthulhu Black Widow: The difference is, I made sure that me and my immortal horror could coexist. I only want to stop you, and it only wants to feed on chaos and destruction.
Kaecilius: The world is filled with chaos and destruction.
Cthulhu Black Widow: So is your mind...

Defeat Kaecilius 5 Times!

Kaecilius: Even Cthulhu will fall before my master...
Cthulhu Black Widow: It might. Black Widow won't.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


True Power!
Iron Man starts

The Ancient One: Where did I go wrong with you, Kaecilius?
Kaecilius: You underestimated my abilities. Just like the former Ancient One overestimated yours when he handed down his title.
The Ancient One: I don't want to fight.
Kaecilius: You don't want to lose.
The Ancient One: We'll both lose, Kaecilius. But it will be much more painful for you...

Defeat Kaecilius 7 Times!

The Ancient One: Stop this before it's too late...
Kaecilius: It's already too late for you. I've only been buying time. The dimensional rift is ready. He's almost here...
The Ancient One: Who?
Kaecilius: The Dread Dormammu!
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Friendship is Magic (Limited to end of Episode 3)

Doctor Strange starts

Doctor Strange: Director Fury asked me to build a holding cell for Kaecilius.
Tech Wizard Iron Man: What?! I've been building these cells since the Guardians got here!
Doctor Strange: He told me. He also said you always complain about having to do it.
Tech Wizard Iron Man: Yeah. We beat the bad guys. I complain about having to build a cell for the worst one. I do an amazing job out of spite. I say I'll never do it again. Repeat. It's the circle of life. I thought you magic guys were supposed to be in tune with this kind of stuff...

Defeat Kaecilius at Streak 7 four times!
Get Kaecilius's Cell!

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

Friendly Rivals?

Doctor Strange: I think these Avengers will be able to help us stop Kaecilius.
Mordo: I think these Avengers will be able to help us stop Kaecilius.
Doctor Strange: I would care more about what you're saying if I wasn't wrapped in Dark Dimension tentacles.
Mordo: Sorry. I got distracted. Sorcerer Supreme things...

Free Mordo!



Doctor Strange: It's good to have you back at my side, Mordo.
Mordo: It would have been even better a week ago. You wouldn't believe the things I've seen...

Mordo: Find me the items I need, and I'll take care of Kaecilius.
Doctor Strange: Just worry about recovering from his attacks. I'll take care of it. I'm the Sorcerer Supreme.
Mordo: I know you are. But Mordo is the one who gets things done.


Recruit Mordo!
- 4 Vials of Ichor (from the Bound Mindless One)
- 4 Tombstones (from defeating Dweller-in-Darkness)
- 32 Chalk (from defeating Zealots and Eldritch Portals)
- 6095 Arcane Artifacts


Kaecilius: Strange's trusty sidekick finally decides to join the fray...
Mordo: You should have just told me you were feeling insecure about being the weakest sorcerer on the squad. I could have tutored you. Saved us all this trouble.
Kaecilius: Your teaching method was to get me in a headlock, and pull on my ponytail when I mispronounced an artifact.
Mordo: The influence of a good teacher can never be erased. I read that on The Ancient One's coffee cup.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts 


Beyond Strange Pt. 1
Mordo starts


Mordo
: I think I'll treat this potentially apocalyptic event as an opportunity to prove my superiority.

Beyond Strange Pt. 2
Mordo starts

Loki: Fantastic. Another subpar sorcerer. You're the one they call Floorboardo?
Mordo: Mordo.
Loki: That's so much worse. I almost fell asleep during the second syllable.
Mordo: Get out of my way, Asgardian.
Loki: Are you in a hurry to ride the Sorcerer Supreme's cloaktails?
Mordo: I need to communicate with the dead.
Loki: I underestimated you, Floorboardo!

Loki Wield Sorcery! 1m

Loki: What did you learn from the dead?
Mordo: That they're too obsessed with dancing to tell me what I need to know.

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts 

Beyond Strange Pt. 3
Mordo starts

Loki: What were you attempting to learn from the dead?
Mordo: Many beings in the Dark Dimension are linked to the realms of the dead. I was hoping they would share their secrets to give me an advantage in the battles ahead.
Loki: You need secrets from the afterlife to defeat some glorified octopus? It's no wonder they named that skunk-headed charlatan Sorcerer Supreme.
Mordo: I'll show you both what I can do... 

Upgrade Mordo! 7 x Tombstone (Defeat Dweller in Darkness), 6841 Arcane Artifacts
Mordo Use Your Talents! 3m



Loki Study Arcane Lore! 3m

Loki: That was entertaining if nothing else. We would make a great team, Floorboardo. I've been meaning to take on an apprentice.
Mordo: We'll meet again, Asgardian. It won't be as friends.
Loki: No one ever said anything about being friends.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts 


Social Sorcery Pt. 1
Mordo starts

Wasp: Hey Mordo! I'm Wasp! I heard you're sorta grumpy, so I came to cheer you up!
Mordo: Can you tell me how to defeat Kaecilius and the beings from the Dark Dimension? Can you improve my communications with the deceased? Can you get me the title that rightfully belongs to me?

Mordo: What do you want?
Wasp: I want you to be nice! I want to be your friend! I want a giant bee that breathes fire!
Mordo: I've never seen a bee breathe fire...
Wasp: I'll be your friend anyway!
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts
Social Sorcery Pt. 2
Mordo starts

Wasp: You should meet my friend Black Widow! She's just like you!
Mordo: She's a sorcerer?
Wasp: No, but she takes herself too serious, and loves shadows and dead stuff!
Mordo: I suppose it could be productive to meet someone with similar interests...
Wasp: It's a date!
Mordo: It's certainly not a date. I don't have time for romance. I've never even met this woman.
Wasp: I'm the Matchmaker Supreme!

Mordo Discover Dance! 2h
Black Widow Pretend to Have Fun! 1h

Mordo: She's a force of nature. She twisted my arm to come here. Literally. It still hurts.
Black Widow: You should tell me everything you know about Kaecilius. There might be another way to take him down that doesn't involve sorcery.
Mordo: Only if you agree to tell me everything you know about the power source Director Fury keeps hidden beneath the campus. We may need to use it to defeat more powerful beings from the Dark Dimension.
Black Widow: It won't be a date.
Mordo: Of course not. It will be a practical discussion of secrets, power, and the forces of evil.
Black Widow: If it was a date, that would be the perfect date.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


Hidden Magic Pt. 1
Mordo starts

Pepper Potts: How's everything going at the Academy so far?
Mordo: I'm considering whether I should delve deeper into dark magic to defeat Kaecilius, and potentially decimate the entire Dark Dimension.
Pepper Potts: Well, let me know if I can help. I guess...

Mordo Use Your Talents! 5m
Mordo Consider All Options! 1m

Mordo: I need forbidden texts on dark magic.
Nick Fury: There's a bunch in the basement of the Archives.
Mordo: Really?!
Nick Fury: Yeah, Odin brought stacks of dark magic books with him when we opened, but I asked him to keep them in the basement because they give me the heebie-jeebies.
Mordo: I never thought I'd hear Nick Fury say heebie-jeebies.
Nick Fury: I have feelings. I'm allowed to get the heebie-jeebies.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

Hidden Magic Pt. 2
Mordo starts

Odin: Director Fury tells me you'd like access to my collection of texts on forbidden magic. 
Mordo: I'm just looking for an excessively powerful spell that might be able to permanently seal off the Dark Dimension.

Black Widow: What were you and Doctor Strange talking about? Looked like you were arguing...

Black Widow: I'm with you.
Mordo: You don't mean as a couple, right?
Black Widow: I mean as a couple of people who are about to hunt down and eliminate everything we see as a threat.

Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts 

Truly Supreme Pt. 2
Mordo starts

Mordo: I should do this alone...
Black Widow: Yeah, you should. I need to defend my school. You need to go make sure creatures from the Dark Dimension can't ever attack it again.
Mordo: If I don't make it back...
Black Widow: I'll use all of your information for my own personal goals.
Mordo: That's exactly what I would do.

Mordo Become the Master! 1m
Black Widow Use Your Talents! 1h

The Ancient One: You were always my best student, Mordo.

The Ancient One: You're a great sorcerer, Mordo. Stop worrying about being Sorcerer Supreme.
Mordo: I think you're right. I can become something much more powerful...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

Doctor Strange Character Outfit: Cthulhu Black Widow

Get Cthulhu Black Widow
Black Widow starts

Black Widow: Have you found a way to keep me hidden in the Dark Dimension and beyond? It might be our only chance of getting the intel we need to stop whatever Kaecilius is summoning.
Doctor Strange: It's too dangerous...
Black Widow: I'll decide what's too dangerous.
Doctor Strange: There's an artifact called the Heart of Cthulhu. It's said that the wearer becomes bonded to the ageless entity, gaining its abilities, and altering one's appearance.
Black Widow: And the creatures in those dimensions won't notice me?
Doctor Strange: If anything, most will either fear or worship you. But I can't let you do this. Cthulhu is known for inducing immediate insanity. You can't maintain a sound mind under its influence.
Black Widow: Never tell me what I can't do.


Get Cthulhu Black Widow!
- 6 x Dead Stars (Defeat Eldritch Portals L6)
- 40 x Floaties (Special Event Missions)
- 4 x Tentacles (Collect from the Cthulhu Temple)
- 5009 Arcane Artifacts

Doctor Strange: How do you feel?
Cthulhu Black Widow: Different. Weird. Powerful.
Doctor Strange: Are your thoughts stable? Are you hearing voices? Are you inexplicably drawn to water? Stars? Chaos and destruction?
Cthulhu Black Widow: No more than usual.
Doctor Strange: This is serious, Black Widow. You need to tell me immediately if you feel your mind beginning to slip.
Cthulhu Black Widow: Relax, Doctor. The creatures of the Dark Dimension are the ones who need to be worried.


Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


The Call of Black Widow Pt. 1
Black Widow starts

Doctor Strange: We need to make sure you're in control of Cthulhu's powers before entering the Dark Dimension.
Cthulhu Black Widow: How do we do that?
Doctor Strange: I see how long I can stare at you without going insane... 

Black Widow Induce Insanity! 2m, requires Doctor Strange



Cthulhu Black Widow: Are you alright?
Doctor Strange: Yes. I'm fine. I'm fairly certain these unimaginable nightmares won't be permanently burned into my retinas.
Cthulhu Black Widow: Do you really think you went temporarily insane?
Doctor Strange: I had a vision of the one who truly controls us. Watching. Waiting. Laughing at our blunders while deciding our fates. Guiding our every move with nothing but the tap of a finger...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts 

The Call of Black Widow Pt. 2
Black Widow starts

Cthulhu Black Widow: We can't wait any longer. I need to enter the Dark Dimension, and see if I can find out how to stop whatever Kaecilius is summoning. 
Doctor Strange: You may have to travel even further. It sounds as if whoever Kaecilius is dealing with controls the Dark Dimension, but the older beings in the farther shadow realms might be more willing to share information.
Cthulhu Black Widow: How do I get there?
Doctor Strange: Use one of Professor Pym's portals in S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters. It's better protected, and I should be able to cast a spell to guide your way.
Cthulhu Black Widow: What will you do?
Doctor Strange: Worry. Pace. Use every spell in my arsenal to distract mystical beings here and in other planes in hopes of ensuring your safety.
Cthulhu Black Widow: I told you not to worry about me. If any of these creatures notice me, I'll make sure they lose the trail.
Doctor Strange: I'm not concerned about you losing them, Black Widow. I'm concerned about you losing yourself...

Black Widow Induce Insantiy! 1m, requires Doctor Strange



Doctor Strange Think in Circles! 2m
Black Widow Visit Shadow Dimensions! 5m

Cthulhu Black Widow: Get out of my way.
Doctor Strange: What happened?!
Cthulhu Black Widow: I did what I had to. Saw things I wish I hadn't. Found out more than I ever wanted to know.
Doctor Strange: I should examine you to ensure the Heart of Cthulhu isn't corrupting your soul or twisting your mind.
Cthulhu Black Widow: You can't help me anymore.
Doctor Strange: Who can?
Cthulhu Black Widow: Mephisto.
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts

The Call of Black Widow Pt. 3
Black Widow starts

Mephisto: I thought Halloween was over...
Cthulhu Black Widow: I thought you came here to conquer this dimension, and get revenge on Doctor Strange...
Mephisto: Oh, I also want those things...
Cthulhu Black Widow: You tricked Kaecilius into going down this path. You let yourself get imprisoned on purpose. Why?
Mephisto: We caged Super Villains were not created equal. Ronan, Red Skull, and Carnage seek nothing but destruction. Kingpin and I have bigger plans. He's surprisingly patient for a mortal.
Cthulhu Black Widow: Answer the question.
Mephisto: Make me a deal.
Cthulhu Black Widow: We are Cthulhu. Greatest of the Great Old Ones. We are the horror of infinite night. The suffocation of endless depths. What existed before life, and will exist beyond extinction. We do not make deals with little demons...

Black Widow Loom Large! 1m



Doctor Strange Zip Around! 3m

Doctor Strange: That was incredible in the best and worst possible ways. We need to immediately remove the Heart of Cthulhu!
Cthulhu Black Widow: I'm not finished.
Doctor Strange: Your voice...
Cthulhu Black Widow: Is inside your mind.
Doctor Strange: You can't be. The Heart of Cthulhu is my artifact. I'm the Sorcerer Supreme!
Cthulhu Black Widow: Every being that ever breathed is irrelevant to Cthulhu. Be thankful, Doctor. You are the one who helped bring about the beginning of the end...
Reward: 20 Arcane Artifacts


What do you think of Cthulhu Black Widow? Don't you just love her new actions? Cthulhu fhtagn!

Industrial Magic Pt. 3
Doctor Strange starts

Black Widow: Why would Fury want a bunch of magical steampunk gadgets?
