Greetings Exiles,
This is a big one. Jhebbal Sag, Lord of Beast, has declared his Sacred Hunt. Will you rise to the challenge?
The Sacred Hunt
Prove yourself worthy of Jhebbal Sag’s attention by challenging his savage champions. Seek out a new hub area, acquire many new recipes, such as the Throne of Jhebbal Sag and the Werehyena Hunter Companion, and gain insight into the nature of gods.
Fatalities
Making a glorious return from Age of Conan, Fatalities are here! Slay your opponent in savage new finisher animations that grant a damage buff. Each weapon type comes with a unique animation. Bring your enemy to zero health for a chance to daze them, then let the chopping begin. Fatalities only work on human NPCs.
Expanded Purges
Hold off a range of new Purge attackers such as thieves, golems, the Stygian Champion and his guards, and the meteor-summoning sorcerer. A well-aimed shot from the new defensive ballista will make short of any foe, provided you can hit them!
Inventory and Follower Quality of Life
In Chapter 4, we’ve made major improvements to Follower UI and radial wheel, making it much easier to use on both keyboard and controller. The inventory screen has also received better item filtering, sorting, and more.
Battle Pass Progression
Progress through your Battle Pass by performing almost any action that gives XP, such as killing, harvesting materials, and crafting. The number of Challenges has been reduced, but they award more XP and involve more steps to create a more engaging quest.
Chapter 4 Battle Pass & Bazaar
The paid cosmetics in the Chapter 4 Battle Pass and Bazaar elevate the already wide variety of base game decorations, gear, building sets, and more to a new level.
Build a maze of dank, winding tunnels and raise grim castles with the expanded Lost Dungeon set. Ride for glory with the fabulous Poitain Heavy Plate Armor, Joust Caparison, Lance, Shield, Banner, and Barriers.
The time has come to embark on the Sacred Hunt! The night teems with both predator and prey. Go find out where you place.
We always appreciate your feedback, so do not hesitate to report any bug or feedback you may have.
This is the final Chapter in the Age of War. What Age do you think will come next? Let us know, and follow us on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook[www.facebook.com], and Instagram [www.instagram.com]for all the latest news.
Slay and Survive, Exile!
