How to take the quiz
The Blackthorn Casebook is in-game content, open with the CN open beta that started 2026-08-21 across PC / iOS / Android. It is a set of 12 multiple-choice questions on novel lore — potion digestion, secret organizations, Sealed Artifacts, pathway sequences, the orthodox churches, and pirate admirals. As of 2026-08-29 no end date has been announced.
We do not yet have a verified step-by-step navigation path to the quiz screen, so we do not invent one — the answer sheet above works regardless of where you enter from.
Note: this is the Kuaishou-developed Lord of Mysteries MMORPG. Zulong's Lord of the Mysteries: Fool (诡秘之主：愚者) is a different game — do not mix the two up.
