Ancient forces have awaken! An enigmatic goddess has returned from worlds long forgotten, bringing ancestral blessings to those willing to tackle her devious riddles! And hey - even if you're not, we've added some nifty new items to discover, too! What strange new effects will she have on your artifacts... and other equipment? There's only one way to find out! Oh, and while you're busy with the biddings of the gods, don't forget that other, darker powers are beginning to stir: Halloween is coming soon, and with it... Growganoth! - The Growtopia Team |
The Ancestral Power update was introduced on the 16th of October, 2017. It is a continuation of the Hidden Riches update and allowed players to upgrade their Artifacts up to level 5.
Crazy Jim's Biweekly Soul Quest[]
The Biweekly Soul Quest was introduced to allow players to obtain a Soul Stone from Crazy Jim, a necessity to upgrading Artifacts. Every two weeks, Crazy Jim will ask the player to complete three random tasks, completing all three of them will give the player a Soul Stone. Players cannot reset the tasks and must wait out the two weeks before receiving a new quest. Players can only obtain one every two weeks and if completed, must also wait until the two weeks are over. Crazy Jim can be reached by typing 12345 into a Telephone.
The Soul Stone can also be purchased from Locke The Traveling Salesman for 30 World Locks, but only one can be purchased every time he visits, and a maximum of 3 only.
Upgrading Artifacts[]
Artifacts can be upgraded through the Ancient Altar. All upgraded Artifacts cannot be dropped or traded and players must complete riddles and deliver items in order to upgrade their Artifacts, the maximum level being level 5. Ancient Altars do NOT disappear after an item has been upgraded.
Upon wrenching an Ancient Altar, the player will meet the Ancient Goddess who will say:
"Greetings, mortal! It seems you have some ancient thing I can enhance through magic old. Tell me: Which would you like to mold? Choose wisely, for once I work my wonders, it will be bound to you for eternity..."
The Ancient Goddess will then show all the player's Artifacts and will be asked to pick one. Players must then complete four riddles, the first asking to deliver Soul Stones, the second asking to deliver either a Plasma Globe, Harmonic Chimes or a Celestial Kaleidoscope, the third asking to deliver the crystallized object used to create the artifact, and the last being a daily riddle which changes depending on the day of the week.
Riddles & Upgrades[]
Daily Riddle[]
The fourth riddle changes every day. A new riddle will appear at 20:00 Growtopia Time. The only released riddles so far are:
| Riddle | Solution |
|---|---|
| I see you wish to acquire greatness. I'd never block your efforts. |  5 Achievement Blocks |
| This is a part of a fantasy, but I wouldn't want to be around it when it comes to a close. |  5 Dragon Gates |
| 1812 is over, sure, but there's a way to bring it back. I can go on, but you should know how by now. |  5 Cannons |
| Bring me a bandit. I don't even need all of him. |  5 Slot Machines |
| I could never tell you what I want, because I'm not a fan of spoilers, and I'd prefer to keep things cool. |  5 Refrigerators |
| My paradise is lost, but perhaps you can bring me halfway there. |  5 Dice Blocks |
| If you're a record breaker, stay away from this. |  5 Victrolas |
| I'd like a huckleberry. Know where I can find one? |  5 Tombstones |
| If you shoot this, would it be redundant? At the very least, I'll know you're bored. |  5 Bulletin Boards |
| Everyone asks the gods for these. Just once, I'd like to get one. |  5 Shop Signs |
| You can silence this, but it will never die. |  5 Disco Balls |
| A store full of wonders, none of which are for sale, is exactly the mark I'd like to spot. |  5 Treasure Chests |
| I'd like to remove some underlings from my employ. Give me a place to put them. |  5 Fireplaces |
| Spark my memories of the open range. |  5 Campfires |
| I'd like a bright idea, but remember that I'm a city girl at heart. |  5 Streetlamps |
| I'm undecided, but I think the cowboy life calls to me on this one. |  5 Rustic Fence |
| Block out a little time to tune this the right way and that's what you'll have. |  5 Note Blocks |
| If you ever had to use the bathroom in a dungeon, theres a chance you will put this together. |  5 Olde Timey Radios |
| Don't make an assumption, presume, or suppose - just take this for what it is and igneore the distractions. |  5 Granite Blocks |
| There aren't any drinks to be found here, but if they were, they'd be good for your blood. |  5 Iron Bars |
| A creature of roads and rubber. It is dangerous to go alone, but even moreso, where beasts such as this are concerned. |  5 Chickens |
| Time to get low. Perhaps this choice will cheese you off, but I suggest you move along. |  5 Cows |
| It's worth more than a nickel, has nothing to do with chickens, and up to eight of them are correct, which I find baffling. |  5 Buffalos |
| Sorry, I can't quite racal what I wanted for this one. Call it a sign of the times. |  5 Military Radios |
| Don't blink. |  5 Mannequins |
| Ag! You woke me up. I dreamt of when I was a smaller, simpler goddess. Perhaps you could remind me of that time? |  5 Silver Idols |
| Find me a shimmering thing of wonder - I don't care what, so long as it's ausome! |  5 Golden Blocks |
| Bessie's a good name for a cow. Put it together with the sea France, and you have the first step in getting me what I want... |  5 Steel Blocks |
| 2623, you'll know what to do. But there are alternates. |  5 Biohazard Signs |
| Actually, I can't think of anything. Therefore, the opposite must do. |  5 The Darkness |
| Steel yourself, for I grow weary (or is it hungry?) and must set this discussion aside. |  5 Steel Tables |
| These are spooky. I know everybody has one, but getting it to me is the key. |  5 Skeletons |
| Hercules never defeated one of these, though, flames are still involved. |  5 Fire Hydrants |
| Whenever I sea these, I remember to keep quiet |  5 Giant Clams |
| Get me my favorite topping, and remember - I'm a fun girl |  5 Mushrooms |
| What's your favorite color? I can't decide between pink and yellow, so you'll have to bring me both. |  5 Art Walls |
| I have trouble remembering things, so get me something that never forgets. |  5 Elephant Blocks |
| Get me something to paint-and don't bangle it up. |  5 Wall Like An Egyptians |
| I want something strange, deadly, and otherworldly - but nothing from Mercury, please. |  5 Venus Guytraps |
| Take one down from its perch and bring it here - just make sure you don't sluice it! |  5 Gargoyles |
| What do Vikings, Lumberjacks and Shrubbery have in common? |  5 Bushy Beard |
| I hate to break it to you, but it's time to give me some space. |  5 Time-Space Rupture |
| Most of the things I want are a mystery, but this one is especially so. |  5 Mysterious Chemical |
| I had a plan to get something tasty, but it's full of holes. |  5 Swiss Cheese Block |
