Our familiar Treasure Dig event is returning with a brand new collaboration theme. As one of Monopoly GO's most special and beloved events, many players are eagerly anticipating its participation.
This year's digging event is also closely related to Wizarding World of Harry Potter, titled Hogwarts Treasures. Players are invited to dig for unique magical rewards and discover hidden prizes in numerous exciting levels.
Below, I will provide you with a detailed introduction to the key information of this Hogwarts Treasures event and offer some game tips to help you.
Hogwarts Treasures event will begin at 12:00 PM (UTC) on December 17, 2025, and will continue until 2:59 PM (UTC) on December 21, 2025, lasting approximately four days.
Time is limited, so you need to master all the key information about the event in advance and make thorough preparations to maximize your rewards within such a short time.
This event features a total of 25 levels. When you enter the event, you'll be taken to a new screen filled with hidden treasures. Many blocks will appear in the center of the screen; clicking on a block will reveal the treasure buried beneath, consuming one pickaxe.
Each level requires players to dig up different quantities and types of items. By discovering enough treasures, you'll receive rewards corresponding to that level. The higher the level you reach, the richer the rewards!
In other words, this game relies heavily on luck. The hidden treasure locations are generally unique. You can refer to other players' digging guides on the forums, but please note that these are for reference only, as your location may differ from others.
This treasure hunt event offers generous rewards, including dice, sticker packs, cash, and even a unique reward - Hogwarts Crest.
There are 25 milestones to unlock, and completing all of them will reward you with a five-star purple sticker pack, which has a high chance of containing the rare Monopoly Go stickers you desire, enriching your album.
The specific rewards are as follows:
Each level displays the minimum number of pickaxe tokens needed to ensure all treasures are found. Especially in earlier levels, pickaxe tokens are limited, so you need to plan your use wisely, rather than digging randomly.
The minimum number of digs displayed for each level is based on the size of the treasure icon, helping you plan your digging location. You can start from the middle square and expand outwards. Be careful not to click on squares too close together, especially next to empty squares.
To accumulate more points and obtain sufficient rewards, you need to acquire a sufficient number of pickaxe tokens. The more tokens you have, the more leeway you have in each level.
Firstly, the game's milestone rewards include pickaxe tokens; the higher the level, the more rewards you receive.
You can find a "Win" tab on the in-game screen. This is your entry point to complete Quick Wins tasks. By completing simple, daily tasks, you can earn Pickaxe Tokens as a reward.
Tournaments and banner events in Monopoly GO often run alongside limited-time events like Hogwarts Treasures. You can check the corresponding tasks; completing them usually rewards you with Pickaxe Tokens.
You can claim free gifts in the in-game shop. These gifts contain various rewards, including a chance to obtain Pickaxe Tokens. However, note that free gifts refresh every eight hours and do not stack, so you need to pay attention to the time and claim them on time.
In addition, during Harry Potter GO events, the game will periodically launch various limited-time events, such as Winter Wonders and Tycoon Class. Pay attention, especially to events tied to milestones. They may reward you with dice, cash, etc., to help you progress more smoothly in the game. Don't miss out!
That's all you need to know about Hogwarts Treasures event. We hope you have a great experience in the game and good luck with your treasure hunting!
Arc Raiders recently announced its second major update, Cold Snap, to be released on December 16th. This update includes a snowy map to match the current winter weather, as well as other new content. Furthermore, the first expedition that allows you to reset your character is also about to begin.
Please note that some features in this update are only available for a limited time. Therefore, to gain an early advantage, you’ll need this ARC Raiders Cold Snap Update guide provided by EZG.com, which offers detailed information about the content.
The first one to introduce is Goalie Raider Deck. Although this deck won’t be officially available until December 26th, it’s free-for-all players, meaning you can get all the rewards without spending any real money. For players new to the game, Arc Raiders’ decks are like battle passes in other ARPGs, a reward track based on a specific currency called Credits.
So, to obtain all the cosmetics, game coins, and item rewards in a new deck, you’ll need to spend some time earning Credits through the daily achievements system to unlock them. In this Goalie Raider Deck update, the developers have prepared a brand new hockey-themed outfit and other accessories for players, which perfectly matches the overall winter theme of the update.
Most importantly, the rewards contained in each Raider Deck are permanent and will not disappear with the change of game content. It is currently uncertain whether this mode will continue in subsequent decks, but for now, it is indeed exciting. After all, being able to unlock the rewards you want at your own pace is very rare in shooting games.
In addition to the cosmetic bonuses provided by the deck, the developers have added a Snowfall map to Arc Raiders, which includes very severe snow disaster exploration conditions: your visibility is reduced, but your movement path is clearly visible and you are easily spotted by enemies.
And there’s the frostbite mechanic, which causes your health to slowly decrease when exposed to severe weather for extended periods, forcing you to seek indoor shelter, which means you’ll be in the same area as your enemies in the same indoor shelter, making a gunfight inevitable.
If you want to survive in this harsh environment, you’ll need to tread carefully, carry more Arc Raiders items for healing than ever before, and stay in close contact with your teammates to avoid being ambushed and killed by other teams lurking in the safest parts of the map.
Like Night and Electromagnetic Storm, Snowfall will also appear as a map modifier in Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport, and Blue Gate, becoming a major obstacle to your loot collection and enemy elimination. However, its only advantage is that the quality and quantity of rewards it contains will be significantly increased.
This Cold Snap update brings players a new event called Flickering Flames Event, which includes 25 event rewards. During this event, the experience points you bring back from each raid will earn you Merits, a special currency that can be exchanged for gear customization items and Raider Tokens at specific vendors in Speranza.
Since the entire event revolves around the experience points you earn and the Merits you exchange for, it’s recommended that you go straight for killing large ARC enemies, such as Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, or Rocketeers, as they will provide you with a burst of experience points.
This is another interesting event in Arc Raiders Cold Snap update, where you need to search for Candleberries and other unique items during your adventure in the topside to complete the five stages offered by this event, each of which will display a different scene in the Speranza’s banquet table upon completion.
Meanwhile, the stages in Candleberry Banquet Project will also provide you with additional cosmetic items such as Raider Tokens. Most excitingly, you’ll also have the chance to earn Merit, allowing you to claim all the rewards from Flickering Flames Event more quickly.
The last and most important one is the first Expedition that allows you to reset your account, which will last from December 17th to 23rd. During this timeframe, players who have completed the Expedition requirements can reset their accounts to obtain a brand new Raider account.
All previously acquired blueprints, levels, quests, and credits will be lost, but some additional rewards will be available. The detailed reward list is as follows:
Permanent
Temporary
It’s important to note that the skill points in the permanent rewards are obtained using credits; one skill point is equivalent to 1 million credits. Therefore, to reach the skill point bonus cap, you need to accumulate a total of 5 million credits. This is no small amount, so start saving credits as soon as you enter the expedition!
If you’re worried about not having enough time, you can simply buy 8% OFF Arc Raiders weapons with "ARC8" code from EZG.com after entering the expedition, saving you the time and effort of farming blueprints, gear, and other crafting materials. Most importantly, cheap doesn’t mean bad quality. The affordable items here won’t affect your game account, so it’s very safe!
These are all the major updates in the Cold Snap update released by Arc Raiders. In this cold winter, we hope this update can bring you a touch of warmth with the most generous rewards. Here is I wish you a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.wishing you a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.
Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.4.0 has been out for a while now. For the first three days after release, players could enjoy the game for free, and everyone was racing to complete it, hoping to unlock all the new content during those days.
Most players have already experienced all the new content. If you find the later content a bit repetitive, perhaps you can try some characters and builds you haven't used before to give the game a fresh feel.
The most popular features of Path of Exile 2 are the various classes and different builds. The diversity of choices allows players to experience different ways of playing the same game content. In particular, Druid class, which was added in patch 0.4.0, is the most popular class, and most players are trying to use it to complete the game.
Druid is a hybrid intelligence class that combines spell-casting abilities with shapeshifting combat. It can be a ranged mage or transform into a beast for melee attacks. Among its many forms, Wolf Druid stands out for its swift frost melee capabilities, freezing hordes of enemies before tearing them to shreds with lightning speed.
Next, I'll teach you how to build a high-damage Wolf Druid in PoE 2.
Druid's wolf form sacrifices some survivability, prioritizing speed and mana consumption over its more tank-oriented bear form. Its extremely high burst damage allows Wolf Druid to quickly eliminate opponents in melee combat.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Early in The Last of the Druids campaign, Druid gains an Animal Talisman, which allows it to switch between bear and wolf forms.
If you prefer fast-paced hacking, freezing enemies, and aggressive offense, Wolf Druid is the best choice. Its core gameplay revolves around a simple yet deadly combat cycle.
You can use Lunar Assault to freeze enemies (single-target or area-of-effect), then quickly unleash melee attacks to shatter the frozen enemy. Simultaneously, your human form can apply frost powers and debuffs, cycling through this process until you transform into a wolf and charge into battle to finish the fight.
While Druid has two Ascendancy classes to choose from, Oracle is the best option for Wolf Druid.
This provides a stable attack damage bonus, synergizes well with fast-attack skills for high damage output, and combined with the passive skill bonuses from Passives Tree and Foresight power of Oracle, Wolf Druid gains a significant advantage in combat.
Unlike Bear Druid in Path of Exile 2, the wolf form build focuses more on speed and frost power. While the wolf's damage isn't as high, its fast attack speed and numerous attacks compensate for this.
The human form is best suited for ranged spell attacks and can be used before entering combat. Leave the melee combat to Wolf Druid in the later stages of the battle.
Wolf Druid's build emphasizes a balanced combination of physical and elemental damage, so you can't focus solely on one. Increasing physical attack will help with the wolf form's finishing move, while increasing spell power or speed will make you more powerful and agile in combat.
Besides maximizing spell and physical attack, we also need to pay attention to defensive and HP regeneration bonuses. Increasing your armor thickness is also important, and you should stack elemental shields as much as possible, as this is Wolf Druid's primary defensive method.
In other words, if you see terms like melee attack speed, increased frost damage, freeze, and elemental damage in Passive Tree, prioritize unlocking them.
Regardless of which Druid form you choose in PoE 2 patch 0.4.0, you'll obtain many powerful staves as your weapons. For example, Taryn's Shiver Gelid Staff and The Whispering Ice Permafrost Staff are both well-suited for Wolf Druids. Each staff offers different abilities and attribute bonuses, so careful comparison is essential.
In addition, don't forget to upgrade your Animal Talisman. You can obtain higher-level Talismans by defeating certain monsters or by getting them at Currency Exchange using PoE 2 currency, ensuring deals significant damage.
Meanwhile, you can further enhance your weapon's damage output by socketing runes into it. With luck, you might even gain additional buffs or elemental abilities.
Overall, the ultimate goal of all your gear is to increase your attack power, speed, and HP. The focus should be on upgrading melee capabilities and spell damage, as Wolf Druids rely on a combination of these to unleash their full potential in combat. Therefore, any trinket that increases Frost Power and Attack Power is a good choice.
The above is the key information for Wolf Druid build in Path of Exile 2 patch 0.4.0. If you prefer a smooth combat style and high-speed burst damage, you should definitely try this build.
Once you enter Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, in addition to the necessary task of killing enemies to earn the final reward, there’s another very important exploration step: finding the hidden secrets and Easter eggs on each map. The one in Astra Malorum map is particularly worth looking for.
Beccause Easter egg in this map includes a brand new song by the legendary heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold, which will be a very pleasant surprise for players who are fans of this genre of music. It’s worth noting that the exploration difficulty in Astra Malorum map of Black Op7 has been increased slightly.
And finding Easter eggs is also more challenging than in previous installments. Therefore, you will greatly benefit from the search guide provided here, which will help you find this special Easter egg in the shortest time and in the most convenient way.
Before officially begin Easter egg hunt, let’s start with a brief introduction to Astra Malorum map. It’s the second round-based Zombies mode map in CoD Black Ops 7.
Upon entering, you and your teammates find yourselves trapped in an abandoned observatory floating in Saturn’s orbit, and you must complete the objectives of finding another Shadowsmith and fighting against the mysterious forces lurking there.
By the way, you can find two very important game elements on this map: Pack-a-Punch and LGM-1 Wonder Weapon. Since unlocking these two Black Ops 7 game items is a prerequisite for activating Main Easter Egg in Astra Malorum, the following methods for obtaining them are something you absolutely cannot miss.
After ensuring there are no zombies around that will attack you, follow the marked route in the northwest direction until you see the gate leading to Luminarium, which requires 1,250 Essence to open. Upon entering Luminarium, you will find a Harmonic Component next to a zombie corpse.
While its exact spawn location is completely random, it generally appears near the display case opposite Jugger-Nog Perk Machine and next to Electro-Volt Projector; you can try your luck in those areas.
After obtaining this important component, continue north through this area and spend 1,500 Essence to open the gate leading to Abyssal Rim. Keep walking straight until you reach the end and spend 1,750 Essence to open the door leading to Observatory Dome.
Upon entering, interact with Harmonic Oculus in the center of the room to activate the power, but it is currently broken. You will need to repair it using Harmonic Component you just found and another component, which can be found inside Machina Astralis. Finally, press the interactive button on the table to complete the repair.
Interacting with it again will officially power it on, which will initiate the lockdown procedure. Several zombie enemies will then appear and attack it, and you need to protect it for 45 seconds. If you fail to defend, it will enter a cooldown state, and you will have to wait until the next round to try again.
After successfully defending the area, Pack-a-Punch machine will appear, and you can find it opposite Harmonic Oculus.
Now that you’ve restored power and unlocked Pack-a-Punch machine, the next step is to obtain LGM-1 Wonder Weapon. This requires you to collect four unique items: Damaged Drone, Car Battery, Absolute Zero Fragments, and Aberrant Wiring. The order in which you collect them doesn’t matter.
After you have collected all four items, you can proceed to Observatory Dome, Luminarium, and Museum Infinitum to defeat O.S.C.A.R. in three different ways, still without any specific order required. Once you complete the challenge, you will receive LGM-1 Wonder Weapon.
After entering the main Easter egg area, you can begin searching for the three headphones needed to activate it and interact with them in sequence. You can find 3 headphones needed for this Easter Egg by following these directions:
1st: This one is located in the northeast corner of Luminarium, hidden in the corner of the bottom shelf of an empty bookshelf.
2nd: This one is located on the ground floor of Machina Astralis building, specifically hidden in a display case near the southwest wall, to the right of the door leading to Cryo Chamber.
3rd: The last headset requires you to first complete step seven of Main Quest Easter Egg - arranging the planets on that map. After being teleported to Mars, you can find it on the ground, to the right of the northeast window, among some rocks and rubble.
After you interact with the third headset, the song Magic by Avenged Sevenfold will start playing. Don’t worry, this won’t attract other players or zombie enemies, so feel free to enjoy it!
Monopoly GO collaboration with Harry Potter not only satisfies players' desire for a magical gaming experience but also brings iconic magical collectibles to players and fans.
From Harry Potter Tokens to Hedwig Shield, players are racing against time to complete their desired collections and unlock themed season rewards. The exclusive Salazar Slytherin Shield for this season, in particular, has driven fans wild. This unique purple-gold badge is inspired by one of the founders of Hogwarts.
Whether you're a perfectionist collector or a fan of Slytherin from Harry Potter, you absolutely cannot miss this shield.
Why do I say you absolutely cannot miss collecting this shield? First, its unique and exquisite design makes it one of the most visually striking shields in the game. The shield features Salazar Slytherin's image, a character with a unique and charismatic personality in the original books, beloved by many fans.
Most importantly, this shield is a limited-time event-exclusive skin, obtainable only within Harry Potter Go album. Once you miss it, you'll never have another chance to own it.
Unlike other rewards in the game, this shield is not obtained by collecting a complete sticker set. It can only be obtained through the exclusive reward, Chocolate Frog Boxes, during a special event.
During Harry Potter Go album event, every sticker pack you open, regardless of level, has a chance to contain a Chocolate Frog. These frogs are housed in special magic boxes. Opening the boxes grants players rare rewards, including:
Salazar Slytherin Shield is one of the random rewards in the boxes. Since these rewards are random, luck plays a significant role, and there's no guarantee you'll get the shield. Therefore, we need to collect as many Chocolate Frog Boxes as possible; quantity leads to quality, increasing our chances of obtaining Salazar Slytherin Shield.
Because Chocolate Frog Boxes randomly drop from sticker packs, our ultimate goal is to collect enough sticker packs.
Monopoly GO offers six different basic sticker packs:
This time, the focus is on collecting sticker packs of different colors. While the game developers haven't explicitly stated the drop rate for Chocolate Frog Boxes, based on past experience, higher-star sticker packs have a higher chance of yielding boxes.
We can collect enough sticker packs through the following activities:
We can unlock and complete event milestones. Different milestone levels offer different rewards; the higher the level, the more rewards, including the sticker packs we want.
Tournaments are timed competitive events, so you must pay attention to the schedule, such as the recent Winter Wonders or Tycoon Class. Players need to collect special tokens through various means, and different milestone levels reward different sticker packs.
Your final score in the tournament will affect your ranking. If you need more sticker packs, strive to climb higher.
Quick Wins are daily tasks in Monopoly GO. Through daily reset tasks, such as rolling a die or collecting a sticker, players can earn various rewards.
In addition to completing the tasks mentioned above individually to earn rewards, you can also unlock progress bars to obtain random 5-star sticker packs or Wild Stickers.
Players can participate in Partner Events by inviting friends to form teams. These are team challenges, requiring everyone to work together to create structures on the board and continuously unlock the game's progress bar. You can also unlock more rewards by spinning the wheel with game tokens.
The higher the level you reach with your partners, the richer the rewards, including a large number of sticker packs.
In Monopoly GO's Wheel Boost event, completing color combinations earns an extra spin on Monopoly Wheel. Each spin could reward dice, coins, or sticker packs.
Players collect Prize Drop tokens by rolling dice and participate in the daily Prize Drop event game. In the mini-game, you drop tokens from the top of Peg-E machine to randomly obtain rewards. Accumulate points to complete Prize Drop milestones, which include sticker packs as rewards.
In addition to Harry Potter Go event, Monopoly GO will continuously host special events during the event period, such as:
These events are time-limited, usually lasting only a few days, but most of their rewards include sticker packs. To obtain Salazar Slytherin Shield, you need to participate in as many of these special events as possible to maximize your sticker pack collection.
These are all the recent methods for obtaining sticker packs to unlock Salazar Slytherin Shield. Good luck, and may you get it on your first try!
