The Grand Chase that passed the Dwarves' Supply Route is surrounded by countless Dwarf soldiers having arrived from Thunder Hammer prison.  Now the Grand Chase surrender to the dwarves in order to avoid further conflict, but despite their intentions, are locked up in the Thunder Hammer underground prison. They escape the prison and get through the incredible Thunder Hammer Defenders to meet King Arawn to resolve the misunderstandings but are robbed of all God's holy water by an unknown magic tribe that appeared out of nowhere.  The Grand Chase finally meet Arawn in the end and get one step closer to the Ashtaroth's conspiracy with the magic tribe attack news from the Dwarf scout while Mari retrieves her lost memory bit by bit.

With the launch of the Thunder Hammer event Grand Chase also introduces three exciting new monsters including the Thunder Hammer Rifleman who are sharpshooting snipers who use technologies and always have the back of the Defenders as well as Mecha Taurus who are highly effective and efficient guard machines that can be mass produced easily and are sturdy enough to take heavy abuse, and finally the Tech Guards who carry out their guard duties with pleasure and enjoy the opportunity to inflict the occasional cruel kick on the inmates, and when not guarding the prison they are employed as assassins and spies for Thunder Hammer.
