Welcome back, Seekers!
Your fearless Eye in the Sky, Nyrie here, bringing you the second edition of my notes—Notes from Nyrie. And I'm back to announce a super spooky event! ENTER HALLOWEEN.
But first, I can’t believe how many Akulaw have been tamed! For a second I thought all the new Seekers scared them off… But, nope! They’re back running rampant, although becoming more and more elusive.
While you were out luring, I’ve been escaping a few of you. Hiding here, hiding there, and moving from one part of Caerras to another. Check out the Nyrie Quest and Catch me if you can, hah!
Seriously though… How am I supposed to gather all this information if you silly Seekers keep coming after me?
I’ve heard some creepy tales of vampire monke and monster pengu which are really starting to freak me out. Maybe it has something to do with all these Akulaw???
Anyway, Akulaw have been rampaging through Caerras since October 14th… And oh boy can I tell you, I was in the middle of escaping when the craziest thing happened… oh wait I’ll save that for later *wink wink*.
Oops! Before I forget, here is my report for October 24th!
TL;DR
We announce our Halloween event and Halloween Quest (Going Live on October 31st)! Cyberkongz Quest #5 launched, plenty of bounties are still unclaimed, and a raffle for a CyberKongz VX is up for grabs. Creator showcase with Kobra from The Freeroll. If you’re new or looking for tips check out our Creator media below. Halloween sneak peaks, Avatar UI, and updated events poster all at the end.
HALLOWEEN EVENT
Coming October 31st at 2 PM UTC is our first-ever Halloween event!
The event will feature 4 Halloween-themed Venari, which WILL NOT be tied to your Game Pass faction.
Expect a very special Halloween Questline and a little more 🎃.
Stay tuned for more details and a spooky story coming this week via the official Legends of Venari Medium.
CYBERKONGZ EVENT UPDATE
We’re just over halfway through our Partnered CyberKongz event! Tons of Akulaw have been tamed with over $10,000 in rewards.
With high user activity and buffed spawn rates, we saw an earlier-than-expected depletion of tier 2 Akulaw. Not to worry, the spawn pools have been replenished, although becoming more and more elusive.
Nyrie’s Quest has been up and running for resident Seekers of Caerras, and as part of the collaboration with CyberKongz, the first-ever specialized quest exclusively for Kongstronauts—the CyberKongz Quest.
The final Quest for the CyberKongz exclusive questline drops today! Upon taming the final T3 Akulaw, Seekers can enter a raffle for a CyberKongz VX (0.68 ETH floor 👀).
See the in-game announcement board for more details!
CREATOR SHOWCASE - The Man Behind “The Freeroll”
We’ve known him as Kobra, and for some, he’s known as The Freeroll. With the goal to help people efficiently in the field of NFT/Blockchain gaming, this man is sharing his journey of turning his favorite new hobby into a full-time income stream by starting his own YouTube channel - The Freeroll.
Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheFreeroll
Originally from Chicago, Jake (his real name) was known as Jake the Snake growing up until his supervisor came up with the name Cobra, which he later changed to Kobra.
“My first, very clear, gaming memory is back in 95-96 when Nintendo started advertising for Pokémon Red & Blue,”
Kobra recalled when asked about his first gaming experience. He’s a huge Marvel and Star Wars fan and was initially inspired by TonyBing to create content, which he has been doing consistently since 2021.
Now living in the US Midwest, Kobra continued making content as a side hustle with plans to switch to full-time. He is also a co-founder of The MetaBlazers. An organization devoted to educating folks about Web3 and NFTs.
Kobra discovered Legends of Venari in late 2021 and found the game hard to let go of. His favorite Venari is Anatra, with Akulaw being second. Like Legends of Venari, he also believes that focusing on fun gameplay and not tokenomics is the correct approach in the Web3 space.
“Oh boy, there’s a lot to look forward to! For a long time, I would have said that I’m looking forward to the Marketplace…. I love collecting Pokemon, so the Marketplace is going to be great when it comes. But today I’m most excited for the Grid. The game today is fun and engaging, but lacks some depth. The Grid is going to flip that. It’s going to make Legends of Venari a much more strategic and interesting game. It’s also going to make the game much more content creator friendly since there will be a lot more to learn/understand.”
Check out Kobra’s channel The Freeroll on YouTube, and his recent video with 10 tips and tricks for beginners:
Kobra’s message to the community:
“Stop catching all the serialized Venari so quickly! Hahaha. I love the Legends of Venari community and hope I can help it grow. Like the Legends of Venari team, I’d love feedback and suggestions. Please reach out with suggestions and ideas.
If you want to start creating Web3 content, or really any type of content, my advice is to jump in the pool. If you are passionate about your area, it will show. There’s no magic involved. I recorded my first video on my iMac entirely with free software. If your content is video, get a ring light or two.”
LOV MEMES AND MEDIA
MEMES!
If you missed it, we dropped a meme contest with $100 USDC up for grabs.

Avatars
As the Avatar and Blessing system continues to be worked on, we have a sneak peek of the Avatar UI. If you’re not Vocari, you have not seen this!
There’s still so much more content left as we work our way towards brand new game systems like Avatars (PFPs) and the Blessing system, the Marketplace, and The Grid Phase I.
