Posted November 08, 2021
Since the Bestiary Update late in July, we didn't show you some stuff on the working progress content. Although today, we are proud to reveal several new features that we have implemented as well as some other suprises accross the open world... Have a look of the trailer below:
First of all, four new enemies now roaming in the open world of Heryon: the Valnakraai, the Ostophagos, the Noir Monarch and your beloved Stalker. Designed in colaboration with the Kickstarter's backers each one have these own abilities and caracteristics to get you out of play.
In order to beat them, you are welcome to use the new spell families, like the shadow, the water and the wind. Combined them thanks to the new weather UI to enhance your strenghts!
Thanks to your feedback, we have rebalanced the fights. The battles will now prove more challenging, whereas you're fight bosses or mere wandering monsters. Equip your crystals into the brand new gem patterns to triumph over the battlefield.
On a much calmer topic, you could find about ten new side quests in the open world also you can hear new inn dialogues if Fallon doesn't complain...
Lastly, Herelsor City got freshened up! From the former version designed in 2016, the heart of the Astryan Continent is now more consistent with the rest of the universe and got performance improvements.
You can now reach it even faster with the all-new Nekaroo dash, which you can trigger by riding through the dandelions sprinkled all over Heryon.
And most of all, don't miss the new NPC's animations over the different locations of the open world.
