King's Tomb Act 3

verified 2026-07-18 · Anime Expeditions maps

King's Tomb Act 3 is a Normal or Hard difficulty story stage in Anime Expeditions set in a crypt overrun by risen dead and demon clones, running 15 waves built around Resurrected Knight and Gargoyles enemies before Demon of Obedience closes out the stage, and paying 75 Gems and 75 Gold on Normal or 100 Gems and 100 Gold on Hard per clear.

King's Tomb Act 3 is the 3rd story stage inside King's Tomb, a crypt overrun by risen dead and demon clones. The act is built from 15 waves and roughly 300 total enemy spawns, opening with a manageable mix of 8x Resurrected Knight, 8x Gargoyles and scaling up wave by wave until the final wave throws 12x Resurrected Knight, 11x Gargoyles, 1x Demon of Obedience, 3x Ice Mage Clone (Elite) at the player's placed units. Demon of Obedience is the boss that caps the stage, and its health pool and aggression sit noticeably above the Basic and Elite spawns that lead up to it.

Along the way, watch for enemies carrying the Momentum, Summoner, Commander, ZoneDebuff modifiers: Momentum enemies grow steadily more dangerous the longer they survive, stacking a damage buff up to +50% over time; Summoner enemies periodically call in extra Basic-tier reinforcements while they are alive; Commander enemies buff every enemy near them, so they are worth focusing down early; ZoneDebuff enemies pulse an attack-speed debuff onto nearby placed units. Compared to King's Tomb Act 2, this act keeps the same core wave shape but raises the difficulty by swapping in Demon of Obedience as the closing boss.

Clearing King's Tomb Act 3 on Normal pays a flat 75 Gems, 75 Gold, 115 Player EXP, and 500 Unit EXP, while Hard raises that to 100 Gems, 100 Gold, 145 Player EXP, and 1000 Unit EXP for the same wave list. Both difficulties also drop Cursed Boba on every clear (1 on Normal, 2 on Hard), and a first-time clear bonus on top of the standard reward applies the first time each difficulty is beaten. Since Hard pays roughly a third more currency for an identical wave layout, it is the better long-term farming target once a team can survive Demon of Obedience reliably; Normal remains the safer option for teams still gearing up.

Wave breakdown

Wave 1 opens with 8x Resurrected Knight, 8x Gargoyles.

By the midpoint, wave 8 of 15 throws 12x Gargoyles, 7x Resurrected Knight at the field.

The final wave caps the stage with 12x Resurrected Knight, 11x Gargoyles, 1x Demon of Obedience, 3x Ice Mage Clone (Elite), with Demon of Obedience anchoring the push.

Farm efficiency

King's Tomb Act 3 pays the same flat reward on every clear regardless of how fast the wave list is cleared, so total Gem and Gold income per hour depends entirely on team clear speed and whether the stage is run on auto-replay. Hard is the stronger currency target since it pays roughly 33% more Gems and Gold than Normal for an identical wave list, and it is the only difficulty that can drop the zone-exclusive equipment on Act 5. Players still building their roster should stick to Normal until their team can clear Demon of Obedience without losing units, since a failed Hard clear pays nothing.
