We have confirmed that the Apocrean Harvester has returned, but this time there's a new Obstacle!
From now through May 25th, travel onto the Grasping Plateau full of trapped souls and phantom-like monsters. In a maze-like graveyard, knights will find the Apocrea trapping and collecting souls. This sinister being will pursue any who enter the Grasping Plateau hoping to add to the collection. Don't try this alone! Work together to free souls and find Apocrean Sigil tokens which can be traded at the Lost Soul item trader for materials and times. There you'll also find the newest obstacle for your arsenal, the new Obsidian Obstacle. It's no simple task to acquire this, and only the most obsessed with freeing souls will be able to wield this obsidian.
You don't want to get caught out there alone--definitely bring your friends with you on this mission, and try not to lose sight of them! For a detailed brief on Cradle's previous encounters with this nefarious entity, go here.
That's not the only mission waiting for you, but this one isn't in the Clockworks. We're making a new trailer for Spiral Knights, and we want to showcase what you, the community, specifically love about the game. Behold! A Spiral Knights competition: The Spiral Knights Trailer Storyboard! For full details of the contest, please visit our forums here.
