How to Get Maria Theresa
You can get Maria Theresa from the Hecate’s Moon event. During the event, you need 80 Radiant Night Torches to redeem 1 Maria Theresa’s fragments. The redeem chance is 30 in total because you need 30 fragments to compose the general. So, if you want to get her, you’ll need a total of 2400 Radiant Night Torches.
Step 1: Summon Hecate with the Underworld Key
You need the Underworld Key, which can be acquired through daily activity rewards or event-specific packages. Once you have an Underworld Key, summon Hecate and visit her. Then, her incarnation will appear on the map near your castle, including:
- Pan
- Sphinx
- Hydra
Step 2: Use the Lunar Sacred Mirror to Locate Bosses
You can drag the map to find Hecate’s incarnations. The next one will appear after you finish one. But, please note that each incarnation has a limited existence time, and the entire round can only exist for 5 minutes at most. So it is best to use the Lunar Sacred Mirror to locate incarnations to save time. If the incarnation is not defeated by the time limit, it will disappear and the challenge of this round will end.
Mirrors and keys are available from daily activity rewards:
- Activity 80: 1 Underworld Key & 4 Lunar Sacred Mirrors
- Activity 110: 1 Underworld Key & 4 Lunar Sacred Mirrors
- You can also purchase them in packages like the Triple Goddess Radiance package, which includes 1 Underworld Key and 8 Lunar Sacred Mirrors.
Step 3: Defeat Incarnations and Trigger Hecate’s True Form
After defeating these monsters, there is a chance to drop the Radiant Night Torch. And, after reaching a certain score, you will also get different numbers of Radiant Night Torch rewards.
During each round of challenge, Hecate’s true form will appear up to 3 times. You need to visit them.
When facing her true form, you’ll be able to choose:
- Difficulty level (Black Moon Hecate)
- Type of troops to bring (New Moon Hecate)
- Buff strength from the Trial Temple (Underworld Moon Hecate)
When choosing buffs, the 3rd buff seems to be the strongest.

Based on the data of Evony’s PVE generals, we recommend the following monster-killing combinations:
Main General | Assistant General | Mounted-troop Attack on Monsters | Mounted-troop Defense on Monsters | Mounted-troop HP on Monsters |
