Lost Ruins of Arnak: Twisted Paths serves as the final major expansion, highlighting a larger double-sided map with two distinct research tracks featuring unique mechanisms and components. Players can explore the daytime Owl Temple, scaling white stone using special temple tiles that combine into extra idol slots and a lantern research token for amplified rewards, or venture into the nighttime Spider Temple's dark caverns, employing a new resource—dark tablets—to invoke mysterious altars and position artifacts directly on the research track for advancement, though excess ambition risks point penalties. The expansion also introduces new guardians, sites, and assistants, alongside solo enhancements like Rival tiles tailored to the new maps, Purple Rival tiles, and Rival Objectives—previously available as online print-and-play. It was formerly included in the limited-edition Adventure Chest storage solution with a custom insert. ---
