**Lost Islands** is a challenge island that brings back to *Kingdom Two Crowns* the one-land campaign style from *Kingdom: Classic*, and the randomly generated lands from *Kingdom: New Lands*, creating a sort of faster random "campaign".

The challenge can take place in any of the available settings.

## Island layout

 Statue
 Merchant
 Boat

Monarchs always appear empty purse in the woods along with a builder and two archers, riding the standard horse for that setting, a couple of plazas away from the unlit campfire, which is fully covered with trees, and inaccessible until the trees on top of it are cut down.

There's a single coin around the camp, with which the Monarch can start clearing the area.
Alternatively, they can look for coin chests in the woods in hopes of speeding up the process.

### Random elements

Lands in the Lost Islands challenge have a group of random elements:

* the setting
(including Norse Lands, regardless if players own the DLC)
* a mount (2 in co-op)
* a Statue
* a Hermit
* the initial Monarch if it's in Dead Lands
* the initial Power if it's in Norse Lands.

The Statue, the Hermit, and the extra mount can be unlocked with the same amount of gems used to unlock them on campaigns.
They're also restrained to the unlockables of that type of setting.

Whenever finding a feature that they can't straight up identify by its appearance, players can recognize them by the number of gems slots.
For a full list of unlockables and how many gems they require, see: Gem § Unlockables.

### Gem Keeper

Have you ever wondered what happens to all the gems players deposit but never collect? Well, our dear keeper has a little side hustle going on in Lost Islands. Keep an eye out for shady dealings in the woods; our hooded friend has some real shiny gems for you... if you got enough coins to pay the price!Raw Fury

Unlike the other challenges, there are unlockables in Lost Islands.
There are no gem chests, but all needed gems can be bought from the Gem Keeper, for a price of eight coins each gem.

### Portals

There are two small portals (three in co-op) and one living portal before the cliff, on both sides of town.

* Solo
* Co-op

Just like in campaigns, the living portals act as an impassable barrier until it's destroyed.
Beyond them there's nothing more than the cliff portals.

### New land in 24h

Unlike the other Challenge Islands, the lands here aren't generated when the player (re)starts the challenge.
Instead of that, every day, at zero hour UTC, a new land is randomly generated, and made available for all *Kingdom* players in the world.
A timer with that purpose is provided in game, and can be seen when the Lost Islands option is selected on the menu.
Players restarting the challenge within that twenty-four hours period, will find the exact same island, with the same features, at the same locations.

### 72h to complete

Once started, the player has seventy two real life hours (three days) to finish the challenge.
When this time is over, they will be prompted with the following message:

## Cursed crown

 **Single play** or  **Cooperative** – *Follows without question. Do not betray.*

To get the cursed crown in Lost Islands in single or multiplayer mode each Monarch must rescue a dog, and keep it safe until both caves are destroyed, not necessarily on the same day. It doesn't matter when dogs are rescued from the tree. It can even be left to be rescued after bombing the caves. But once rescued, it shall never be caught by a greedling.
