Demongate

Greetings brave Knight,

Demongate is a special event that was introduced on August 20th, 2021. By entering the Sacred Portal, you will face and battle Yokai of the Lost World Demons and Vampyr Undead enemies from the Mosshide Clan to earn Event Points, which will grant rewards.

Enemies

The Lost World was home to protective spirits who evaded the influence of the Dark Ones. Saddened by their failure to prevent the Dark Ones' atrocities, they now seek to join any who would oppose them. Although their lands eventually recovered from the Dark Ones' influence, its people were broken. Twisted by the their experiments, they lash out in the desire for vengeance.

Aobozu was once a kindly priest, leading his people in peaceful worship. Now he is a twisted Demon, leading his people in attacking any who are not their own. His insanity causes him to be reckless in his attacks, such as his Blazing Bolt.

Otakemaru is a huge Demonic warrior. His corruption has made him even more formidable as he leads his people across the Portal into our lands. As with his ally Aobozu, his powers call on blood magic - his Blazing Fist damages himself as much as his enemies.

Oni makes up the bulk of the Yokai's forces. Skilled swordsmen, they follow their leaders' teaching and seek to cause as much damage as possible, no matter the cost.

Tengu can often be found in the back row, attacking from a distance.

The Yokai of the Lost World is joined by one of their most terrifying and tragic members, the Rokurokubi. Once three sisters who attempted to escape the Dark Ones, the Rokurokubi is now a manifestation of pain and anger that only a Guild of brave Knights can face. If your Guild is high level and up to the challenge, you could even summon them in Expert mode...

Heroes

Ayako belongs to a race of diminutive forest spirits. To evade the Dark Ones' attention, she disguised herself as one of their corrupted Yokai.

Mikazuki belonged to an ancient race that was traditionally shunned and distrusted by humanity. Despite the humans' antipathy to her kind, she always sought to protect her world and the people in it.

Did you know...?

...Yokai (妖怪) is the Japanese term for a class of supernatural entities in Japanese folklore. They can range anywhere from ghosts and spirits to animal-like creatures and humanoid monsters. The faces of the Yokai in Knighthood resemble the artistic interpretations of specific types of yokai, typically stylized on kabuki theater masks and ceremonial outfits. Also, early designs for Demongate, including Mikazuki's design, were in development since the beginning of Knighthood's launch; however, the developers deemed a Japanese theme to be too unfitting for the game's first Special Event, and instead went with the more traditional-looking Dark Tor event.
