Lord of the Mysteries Episode 3: Release Date, Countdown, Preview, and Where to Watch

Summary:

• Klein Moretti’s journey intensifies as Episode 3 brings a fateful encounter with the mysterious Clown.
• Lord of the Mysteries anime skips slower arcs, pushing into major plot twists around the Antigonus Family’s cursed notebook.
• Episode 3 promises more action, occult mystery, and a dark turning point in Klein’s evolution.

Lord of the Mysteries just released with a two-episode premiere that immediately drew viewers into its dark, steampunk world, filled with occult lore, Lovecraftian atmosphere, and fast pacing. With Klein Moretti stepping into life as a budding Beyonder and surviving from his first mission with the Nighthawks, fans can’t wait to see what comes next. Episode 3 is on the horizon, and here’s all you need to know, from the release date and countdown timer to where to watch, and what to look forward to in Klein’s next brush with the unknown.

Lord of the Mysteries Episode 1 and 2 Recap

Episode 1, “Fool,” had the consciousness of Zhou Mingrui suddenly transferred to the body of Khoy University history student Klein Moretti. Now living in Loen’s Victorian‑era streets, Klein finds himself caught up in ritual, Divinations, and Beyonder all at once. A chaotic “luck” ceremony is the spark that sets the legend of “The Fool” into motion.

Episode 2, “Beyonder,” also debuted that day and continued the story. Klein accepts Dunn Smith’s invitation to join the Church of the Evernight Goddess’s covert Nighthawks. He selects the Sequence 9 Seer Pathway after a mesmerizing visit to Old Neil’s alchemy room. Drinking it unlocks Spirit Vision, officially making him a Seer, just as he receives his first assignment: tracking down a kidnapped child using his new powers.

Partnered with Leonard Mitchell, Klein quickly gets a taste of the dangers that lie ahead when two thugs merge into a hideous demon. Leonard’s Midnight Poet abilities, combined with Klein’s quick trigger, come together to save the day, but the mystery only deepens, particularly surrounding the Antigonus Family’s notebook and the true fate of the “original” Klein, which keeps the mystery thick.

What to Expect in Lord of the Mysteries Episode 3

From the official preview, Episode 3 is pitting Klein against the Suit‑clad Clown, the same one who appeared briefly in the premiere. Web novel readers will know this as a pivotal plot twist, which occurs roughly around Chapter 80. If Episode 2 ended at roughly Chapter 44, then the anime is speeding up major arcs, omitting a few slower-paced plot arcs in the process.

This season will follow Klein, Dunn, and Leonard as they chase down leads linked to the Antigonus Family’s notebook. Their investigation will take them to Katy Stefania Bieber’s corpse and eventually to a confrontation with the Clown.

The anime has already cut several scenes, such as Audrey’s awakening, Alger’s promotion, and even Klein’s second Tarot Club meeting, so fans should prepare for another brisk installment that leans heavily into action and suspense. Nevertheless, with its occult battles and Victorian vibe, Episode 3 looks set to turn up the mystery even further.

Final Thoughts

With just two episodes out, Lord of the Mysteries is already drawing comparisons to Solo Leveling thanks to its sharp animation, dark fantasy themes, and strong web novel roots.

Whether the adaptation slows down to explore Klein’s more complex relationships or keeps sprinting at full speed through the major plotlines, Episode 3 is looking to be a turning point.
