Halls of Torment - The Boglands on Steam - Paid DLC Boglands Overview

  • A New Stage: Trudge through a slowing swamp teeming with insects, spirits, and ancient walking trees. Time is not your enemy here – survival is. Victory lies not in the grains in the hourglass, but in the piles of slain foes.

  • Two New Heroes: The Crone summons twisted plant life to ensnare enemies and spread Decay, while The Alchemist hurls volatile mixtures imbued with elemental power – customizable for fire, ice, lightning, or earth.

  • 70+ New QuestsEarn rewards by experimenting with new mechanics, braving the Boglands, and mastering your tools (new quests will not reoccur as Steam achievements).
  • New Abilities & GearUnlock three new abilities and a dozen new items, designed to synergize with the Crone's control and the Alchemist's raw elemental creativity.
  • Decay Mechanic & Earth ElementUnleash the new Earth element and apply Decay, a long-lasting, armor-cracking curse that softens even the toughest foes.
  • 6 New Artifacts: Customize your runs with powerful stage modifiers. Risk meets reward as these ancient objects twist the rules to your favor—or demise.

  • More Traits. More Blessings. More Ways to DieExpand your build potential with potion-focused blessings and new traits waiting to be uncovered.
