The Feast of Grimnir is upon us! Our brave Heroes must venture into the troll-infested hold of Karak Dal to prove themselves worthy of the title of ‘Drengbarazi’ by slaying every troll in sight!
Feast of Grimnir is a brand new, limited time, annually recurring event. This year’s event begins today and will last until September 14. For the duration of the event, the new event level, ‘The Feast of Grimnir’, will be accessible via the Weekly Event Game Mode. Play the level to complete event specific Okri’s quests and unlock rewards!
On top of that, Lohner’s Emporium of Wonders’s event section is open again, where you’ll be able to purchase a brand new cosmetic frame, alongside old event rewards from other recurring events!
As always, there will be double XP for all actions for the duration of the event!

Bots now avoid damage circles in Enchanter’s Lair.
Bots are now able to detect attacks from multiple enemies at once that don't directly target them.
Bots are now less prone to dodge into enemies.
Boss health bars no longer disappear until bosses are dead.
Teammates attacking bosses will now make the health bar appear for oneself as well (similar to pinging).
Additional health bars will now appear if more than one boss is active at once.
Players joining mid-match can now spawn while other players are riding an elevator
Fixed the Chaos Spawn contemplating existence if a grabbed player disconnects.
Fixed an issue with an illusion for Kerillian’s Dual Swords where it had the wrong name (Now correctly named ‘Eternos-Ichor Dual Swords’)
Fixed an issue in Fort Bringing Bacon where the intro dialogue would not play if either Bardin or Saltzpyre were missing.
Fixed playback limits for Blightstormers and Lifeleeches where audio issues could occur if a huge amount of them were spawned at the same time.
Fixed an issue with the barrel pit in the finale for Tower of Treachery. Throwing barrels into it should be far more consistent now.
Fixed a bug where the whole party immediately returns to the keep when the host presses "Return to The Keep" after losing a level, instead of the 45 second timer appearing.
Fixed a crash when a source damaging a player is destroyed while dealing damage when the Baleful Empathy curse is active
Fixed a bug where enemies hit while Aqshy's Incineration is active in a Bright Delving weave don't visually catch on fire while they are affected by the damage over time effect.
Fixed a typo in the Louen Leoncoeur skin for Grail knight.
Feast of Grimnir - Slightly moved pickups before boss drop (to hopefully make bots pick them up)
Fixed various boons playing sound cues for the host when bots proc them during weekly chaos wastes runs.
Fixed a crash entering the chain end event in Garden of Morr.
Fixed a crash related to bot navigation.
Feast of Grimnir fixes:
Filled in small hole in ground just before boss drop
Added extra collision in space under stairs (and platform)
Fixed a crash when the Troll Chief stands back up from the knocked down state if Troll Chief is in a very tight spot where no barrel socket manages to fit.
Fix for trolls not seeing players in the elevator.
Fixed a spot where players could get stuck in the Waterwheel section.
Fixed the music so that it’s properly synchronized between Host and Clients.
