Arowe is the hidden NPC of the
Second Sea who upgrades your race to V3, its third version. He lives in a secret room beneath
Diamond hill and gives a different trial to each race.
Upgrading to V3 unlocks a race ability activatable with the T key, and if you're not
Human, adds a cosmetic element to your avatar (visible in-game only). Only exception: the
Draco race, which he doesn't evolve.
How to get it
Where: secret room beneath Diamond hill in the Second Sea (just walk through the wall to enter). Requirements: race already at V2,
Don Swan defeated, and 2,000,000 Beli. Reward: your race upgrades to V3, with its ability on the T key.
Finding him
Arowe hides in a secret room beneath Diamond hill. Like most secret areas in the game, there's no door - you simply walk through the wall and pass right through.
Tip to land in the right spot: position yourself so that the tree on Diamond hill is aligned between the
Factory and
Jeremy's rock. The room is right behind it.
The requirements
You need the following three conditions in any order:
- Your race upgraded to V2
- Don Swan defeated
- 2,000,000 Beli in your pocket
If you're missing something, Arowe tells you "Come back when you're prepared enough" or, if it's money, "You're still lacking 2,000,000 Beli". If the race you talk to him with is already at V3, he just says "Friend."
Each race's trial
| Race | Trial | To know |
|---|---|---|
| Human | Defeat Diamond, Jeremy, and | In any order. Easy from level 1000 onward, but time-consuming if other players defeat the bosses before you - a private or low-population server makes a big difference |
| Defeat a naturally spawned | A Sea Beast summoned with | |
| Collect 30 chests | The | |
| Defeat another Angel race player | Challenging: Angel players are rare and often much higher level. No need to take their bounty | |
| Defeat five players without dying | No need to take their bounty. A bug sometimes prevents certain kills from being counted - plan for one to three additional players. Doable in a private server | |
| Show Arowe a physical | He doesn't take the fruit, he just wants to see it | |
| Draco | No trial | He simply says "What are you?" and doesn't evolve this race |
A note on the Ghoul trial: the source asks for five different players while also stating in the same sentence that killing the same player multiple times is possible. The two contradict each other - verify in-game before organizing.
Know before you start
- If you leave the game, all trial progress is lost - you need to talk to Arowe again when you return to restart it from scratch. This works the same as the
Alchemist. - For Ghoul and Angel trials, kills don't need to earn you bounty or honor, but they don't count if they're deemed suspicious by the game (suspicious kill).
- Once his trial is complete, Arowe calls you "friend" instead of "sir".
Did you know
- Upgrading all races to V3 costs 15,000,000 Beli total, not counting
Fragments spent on changing races between upgrades. - The
Dark Blade
Slayer Skin requires having all races developed to V3, except Ghoul, Cyborg, and Draco. - Arowe is one of the sons of
rip_indra. - The secret room's music is called Hypnotical Suspense (APM Music). You hear it too at
Temple of Time and
Secret Temple. - Before Update 14, it was
Wenlocktoad who filled this role. He was removed from the game and replaced by Arowe.
