Available on August 21, 2pm EEST Here are the major features for Ebontharn! Act 9 (Ebontharn), an entirely new Act, which is completely free and part of the base game. This new act is accessible after defeating Odin in Act 8. Thank you to all of our supporters for making this possible! Act 8 has been made free, and is part of the natural progression now.
We have added countless side zones throughout the acts to extend progression
Campaign progress to endgame has been expedited. After finishing Normal, you will retain your waypoints in Nightmare. Nightmare is now effectively Hell 1, and Hell is roughly Hell 4.5, followed by Inferno. It is now possible to guarantee mechanics from the Ether, given enough investment into their tree! Three new Uber Bosses - Phantom Leviathan, Captain Grimtide, and the Blood Maiden. Marauder, Plague Doctor, Shield Lancer and Jötunn are now free and part of the base game. If you own the DLC, you will receive a premium skin for these classes. New free Relic Storage located in the inventory, which can be used to swap relics out at any time. New Seasonal Mechanic: Abyssal Chest! The abyssal chest creates up to five levers nearby, which can be pulled to spawn high rarity, dangerous mobs. The Abyssal chest may be opened after pulling at least one lever, and upon being interacted with, spawns a final encounter of mobs, scaling with how many levers were pulled. After this final mob encounter, the abyssal chest can be opened, and the rewards are also scaled to how many levers were pulled!
