Our latest Version 2.0 feature video spotlights two new systems that further expand the gameplay loop of Blades of Fire. Get ready for Anvil Trials and Arcana! Players can face Anvil Trials to re-fight major bosses in dedicated arenas after defeating them in the main story.
Once a boss is defeated, a special anvil appears and activating it teleports players to an arena where the boss is revived for another encounter.
At the start of each trial, players’ health potions are fully restored. Weapons remain in the condition they were in upon entry, but any damage taken during the fight is not permanent... Both potions and weapons revert to their previous state when players exit, regardless of success.
Each boss introduces additional mechanics, and each fight is timed, allowing players to earn up to three medals based on completion time.
Players can then use the medals earned in the Anvil Trials to unlock Arcana, ancient spells cast by Adso that grant passive buffs to weapons, with higher-tier medals unlocking stronger Arcana.
To apply an Arcana, players must speak with Adso; each Arcana requires a minimum weapon reputation and consumes one repair star.
Players can have only one Arcana active per weapon at a time, but they can replace it freely as long as repair stars remain.
Different Arcana reward aggressive play, survivability, or weapon efficiency, letting players tailor their builds to their preferred combat style.
Overall, the Anvil Trials offer structured, repeatable boss challenges, while the Arcana turn those victories into meaningful upgrades players can use throughout their in-game journey.
Coming to Blades of Fire Version 2.0 on May 14th.
