Lord of the Mysteries episode 3 drops this Friday, and Klein Moretti's world is about to get darker. It will likely adapt content from around Chapter 80 of the original web novel. The donghua's two-episode premiere left us with more queries than answers, mainly after that haunting encounter with the Suitor Clown who's been creeping in the shadows since episode one.

Lord of the Mysteries episode 3 is set to premiere on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST (China Standard Time). This falls on a Saturday for the original broadcast region. Time zone differences will translate this to a July 4, 2025, release for most Western locations. Specific global timings are 7:00 pm PT, 10:00 pm ET, 3:00 am BST, 4:00 am CET, and 7:30 am IST.

Therefore, international viewers can relish the Lord of the Mysteries episode 3 on Friday itself. The donghua premieres globally on Crunchyroll, Tencent Video, Muse, WeTV, and other streaming outlets. Crunchyroll normally releases episodes one hour after the initial Chinese release, making it available at 8:00 PM PDT for North American viewers.

What Can You Expect from Lord of the Mysteries Episode 3?

The preview footage reveals that the Lord of the Mysteries episode 3 will feature an intense confrontation between Klein Moretti and a familiar antagonist. The preview video shows Klein Moretti's encounter with the clown figure he met at the town square, setting up what appears to be a crucial battle sequence.

The preview shows Klein fighting the Suitor Clown, which takes place around Chapter 80 in the novel. This suggests the anime adaptation continues its rapid pacing, covering significant ground from the source material in each episode.


What Happened in Lord of the Mysteries So Far

The Lord of the Mysteries series opened with Zhou Mingrui's transmigration into Klein Moretti's body in the steampunk world of Loen Kingdom. Klein had mysteriously taken his own life, leaving behind cryptic diary entries warning that "everyone would die". The original Klein's memories remained partially inaccessible.

Klein's introduction to the supernatural began when investigators Dunn Smith and Leonard Mitchell arrived to question him about his deceased university friends, Welch and Naya. These characters had been involved in deciphering the dangerous Antigonus Family's book before their gruesome deaths. Klein's survival of a gunshot wound to the temple immediately raised suspicions among the Nighthawks.

The series revealed Klein's ability to access a mysterious gray fog realm where he can summon other individuals. In this space, he established the Tarot Club under the alias "The Fool," connecting with Audrey Hall and Alger Wilson. This supernatural gathering occurs every Monday at 3:00 PM, creating a recurring element throughout the series.

Klein's recruitment into the Nighthawks marked his formal entry into the world of Beyonders. Under Dunn Smith's guidance, he chose the Seer pathway and consumed the corresponding potion, gaining supernatural abilities including Spirit Vision. His first mission involved rescuing a kidnapped boy from drunk men who had transformed into demonic creatures after consuming Beyonder potions.

The second episode concluded with Klein and Leonard Mitchell discovering the location where the original Klein had experienced something significant. This revelation is connected to the missing Antigonus Family's book, suggesting that Klein's death was directly related to his involvement with this dangerous artifact.

As such, Lord of the Mysteries episode 3 promises to crack more secrets about Klein's past while advancing his actions as a Beyonder. The series has successfully installed its uncommon blend of Victorian-era atmosphere and Lovecraftian horror elements.
