Shugo Festival in AION 2 is a recreational area where one can unwind and engage in various mini-games away from normal combat situations. In the festival, you can get engaged in activities that involve running, puzzle-solving, and others and earn rewards as well. One is able to gather Sentry Root Tokens in the festival to use on pets, wings, skins, among others. In this guide, we will explain how to unlock the Shugo Festival, how it works, and what rewards you can get.
How to Unlock the Shugo Festival

The Shugo Festival can be unlocked through progression within the main storyline of the game, and is rather easy to unlock, being unlocked quite early into the game, somewhere around Level 13 after the completion of the pet sections. Shugo Festival is a special zone in which you are able to participate in various minigames and events. Unlike other combat zones, these activities are puzzle-based and platforming in nature.
There are a number of game modes, which include Jump, Mysterious Track, Odal, Flight Frenzy, Defend Merchants, Not This Tile, Wraith Invasion, Hidden Lugie, Gold’s Treasure, and Up Up. The available games may vary from time to time. Some of them can be unlocked only during specific periods of time, so make sure to check which of them are currently available.
How the Shugo Festival Works

In order to participate in all kinds of festival events, you have to have Shugo Festival Reward Keys. These keys can be stored and used when you decide to participate in the festival activities. Three rewards per day are awarded to you for free. The game shows the time when your charges will become available again. When you have a membership, you can store more keys, and the maximum amount is 21.
All kinds of festival events offer you the ability to get certain rewards. Also, your rewards depend on the character level. You can preview the Obtainable Rewards before joining the event and see which rewards you will be able to get. Sometimes the rewards have various drop rates. It may happen that you will have a 50% chance to receive 30 Sentry Root Tokens, but getting higher numbers will be less probable.
You may also receive various other rewards depending on which rewards pool you have joined. The better you perform in the event, the better rewards you receive.
Shugo Festival Rewards

There are many reasons for attending the Shugo Festival, and one of them is to gather Sentry Root Tokens. These tokens can be used in the Festival Shop. The Festival Shop provides various kinds of items such as consumables, wings, pets, Pantheon Decorations, and skins. It is possible that some of the cosmetics will be very helpful in customising your character collection. You can keep on attending the festival to get tokens and the desired items from the Festival Shop.
Is the Shugo Festival Free?
It is possible for you to join the Shugo Festival without having to pay for your membership. But with your membership, you will have more reward key storage options and more opportunities to participate. Thus, even free-to-play gamers can make use of the Shugo Festival and get its rewards, along with getting some special privileges as members.
It is possible for the activities to keep on changing from time to time, depending upon your occasions. On the whole, the Shugo Festival gives you a nice respite from the usual fighting activities in AION 2. You can join various mini-games, compete with other participants, get the Sentry Root Tokens, and use them to get various useful things.
