Hey everyone!
How are you all? We hope you had some spare time to try our previous DLC content pack with 21 new weapons, and that it has been fun! Any new broken builds invented? :D
Now, yesterday we had some fun with announcing a “new DLC” Qrko's Journey - if you have missed it, check out the trailer below!
This was an April’s joke from our team :D
BUT! Another free DLC is not a joke at all, as we have promised and spoiled The Last Counsel a few weeks ago. Well, it is now out!
This is a whole new endgame dungeon that was designed to test your resolve! We really hope you will enjoy it ;)
Simultaneously, we’re releasing patch 1.21 with miscellaneous updates, focused mostly on further improvements for the Forlorn Swords (act 3 of the game).
Enjoy the read! And let’s start with unraveling the mystery behind The Last Counsel. (by the way, congrats to the few ones who guessed correctly!)
We’re introducing our third free content DLC, Merlin’s Tomb!
And it’s out right now, waiting to get added to your Steam library!
Let’s watch the trailer for more info about this DLC (content spoiler alert):
Intrigued? Cause we certainly are!
Now, before diving deeper into the content itself, let’s first give you a quick overview of the lore behind the Merlin’s Tomb DLC.
The final resting place of the Round Table Knights has been uncovered at last.
Hidden deep within the desolate peaks of the Forlorn Swords, the lost secrets of Merlin lie sealed, guarded by brutal trials forged for one purpose alone: to test the True King of Avalon. Only one of rightful blood and unbreakable will may endure what awaits within.
But beware…
The once-proud and peerless archmage of Avalon, greatest of sages, has been touched by a creeping Wyrdness. Twisted by forces beyond mortal reckoning, Merlin is no longer the mentor of legend – but something corrupted.
It’s said that to enter the final Tomb and face Merlin himself, one must possess all fragments of the King’s Soul.
Moving forward to the content part…
Merlin’s Tomb is a brand-new endgame dungeon. As mentioned, you can only access it after you’ve acquired all the King’s Soul fragments. It’s supposed to be hard (balanced around level 75 characters), and it also features some gimmicks, so we’re expecting players to yield once or twice before finishing it. That said, if you fail a few times, don’t give up; you got this! :D
We’re spoiler-covering the rest of the DLC description for those who want to go in completely blind. But if you want some extra sneak peeks, go ahead!
If you meet the above-mentioned requirement, you can enter the dungeon in the Forlorn Swords (act 3), just right here:
The entrance to the tomb is guarded by the Keeper of the Barrow, a new mini-boss! Treat this as a quick power check before granting you further passage.
Once you’re inside, the real challenge starts. But we don’t want to spoil the fun for you; go and enjoy on your own! :D Be victorious, and you’ll be rewarded; Tainted Merlin will leave some truly EPIC, tainted items behind! Trust us, despite all the taint, these items are worth the trouble! Also, we know you guys well, so please refrain from posting all the tainted jokes, or Steam might take us down ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
