** As of February 2015, Ed had become so popular that a new challenge path was added: Actually Ed The Undying, where you get to play as Ed himself, in a post-Sorceress world where he's trying to track down the adventurer (i.e., you) who stole the Holy MacGuffin from him. (Hence, the "Actually" in the path name, as opposed to the "Avatar" paths for other legendary figures)

* Hobopolis is full of [=CMOAs=], as it is a dungeon designed to be taken on not by a lone player but by a clan (however, each boss must be fought by a lone member of the clan). With every 250 regular hobo kills up until 1250, a new sub-area unlocks, each with its own boss, which should optimally be defeated as each boss left alive makes the final boss that much tougher. (Good luck--each of those sub-bosses is at least as tough as the FinalBoss of the game.) An additional 250 unlocks an event that allows hobos to be killed quicker, and then it's another 1500 on top of that (that's ''3000 total'') before Hodgman, the Hoboverlord, is unlocked. By far the most epic quest ever.
** Also, one of the sub-bosses drops an item that makes the aforementioned "Make War, Not...

* The "Future" quest[[note]]accessible by using an empty agua de vida bottle[[/note]] by mere nature of the fact that the events are the result of quests undertaken in two other time periods, has a certain degree of awesomeness to it, albeit in a rather cheesy way.
* Every Crimbo (Christmas) is Awesome, ending in a Crown.
** 2007: Fighting the 12 days of Crimborg, collecting a full suit of biomech armour and a Voltron toy so fully articulated that it effectively stabs, stomps, shoots, and strangles, before 'pulling the lever'' on Father Crimbo's reanimated cybernetic body.
** 2008: The Crimbomination battle. That is all.
** 2009: Elvish spies, penguin gangsters, and a Final Round with The Crimbomination, in which you sing him to death. Or friendship and the power of Crimbo.



-->Not every magical weapon is forged of meteorite iron under an unusual planetary conjunction, inscribed with gilded runes of ancient power, and imbued with supernatural strength and sharpness through mystical rites and sorcerous incantations. In truth, many of the most powerful weapons of lore are possessed of far humbler beginnings -- common metal, torn from an enemy's grasp in a dire emergency. If the warrior survives the day, the weapon will likely be kept. Polished, sharpened, and re-sharpened, it will be carried from battle to battle, becoming as much a part of the man as his own arm, and as his name rises from warrior to hero to legend, so too will an aura of reverence and awe begin to surround the blade. Legend and belief are powerful forces, and it should be no surprise that a powerful artifact might have become powerful simply by dint of everyone ''believing'' it to be powerful. That is, after all, where the gods came from.
