The mercenaries are back, baby
Fan-favorite features from the past diablo The game is the ability to summon allies to fight for you. These hired NPC soldiers were originally Diablo 2and Diablo III Has its own version of the follower system, where followers are more fleshed out characters with their own stories. Diablo 4The version of mercenaries seems to be more consistent. Diablo 3as Blizzard has revealed the names and detailed backstories of all four summonable allies.
You will unlock NPC allies during the main quest and summon them in two ways. You can hire a mercenary as your main companion to follow you, and designate a second mercenary as a reinforcement who will appear in battle and unleash special skills when you activate your own skills. Each mercenary is unique and has his own set of skills. Among them are the drunken archer Subor, the cursed child Oldkin, the berserker crone Variana, and the shield-bearer Rahil. With a variety of builds to choose from, you’ll be able to assemble a team that highlights your own role in battle.
Challenge the Dark Castle with friends
Described by game director Brent Gibson during Gamescom as a “multi-level dungeon,” Dark Castle is a new cooperative PvE mode that sounds like an all-out raid. This is an endgame dungeon designed to test players (preferably in groups of four).
Dark Castle is three areas long and includes tough boss battles with unique enemy mechanics. An example given during a meeting hate ship trailer Including collecting special items to reflect the boss’s attacks in battle. The item needs to be used once by each team member, so it’s reminiscent of traditional MMO raid design, where you manage the boss mode while dealing damage over time.
If you’re up for the challenge, the Dark Castle will have a special vendor with some incredible loot. Additionally, Blizzard has launched a Party Finder to make it easier to team up with friends and strangers. It sounds like Dark Castle will really enhance the MMO’s character Diablo 4but that’s not the only interesting dungeon hate shipas the new timed challenge Undercity is also launching.
Nahantu looks beautiful (and dangerous)
hate ship Players will be taken to the new area of Nahantu, which is the southernmost area of the Eastern Continent (this is the background of the game) Diablo 4 If you don’t know, because I don’t). So far, this is the only place on this continent that no player has ever visited. Diablo 4——Although it appears in Diablo 2– so there are bound to be some new and old discoveries.
There are six areas in the area, four of which are jungle-themed and two of which are canyon-themed. But things are not going well in the jungle, as the infection has turned it into a dead zone filled with new enemies called “Hollows” and “Scum”. Both the jungle and canyon areas of Nahantu look incredibly layered, with canyons leading to caves and giant trees that allow you to walk on the floor or on large branches in the air.
