Hockey Mini-Game

In between excavation and analysis of the underground chamber, the Star Guild set up a temporary hockey rink near the dig site. Grab a hockey stick and take to the ice for some 2v2 slice-n-slash action! Protip: use the Trigger Button to pull the puck near your hockey stick for more control!

New Faces, New Fiend

Additional face modules can be unlocked and used for your Avatar. Also, be on the lookout for a surprise fiend in the dungeons!

Holiday Weapons and Cosmetics

Near the Vendors is a special Ice Chest which can be opened once a day. Each time you will be awarded either a holiday weapon or cosmetic. These can also be purchased from the Vendors (depending on current stock) and found in dungeons.

Parry Improvements, Themed Lobby, and More

As always, various improvements and additions also make it into this end-of-year update. New parry animations and mechanics against skeletons and the Skeleton Knight boss make for better melee combat. Enjoy the festive Outpost and grab a snowball and toss it at a friend to start a snowball fight!

Cheers!

As the game continues to grow, so does this amazing community. Othergate would like to thank each one of you for supporting the game and helping newcomers through their dungeon runs. We hope you and your familes have an amazing holiday!
