November 2024 Patch Notes: Hawkules Promotion Boss Fight!


Ahoy Pirates! We're trying something new--combining a skeleton key boss with a companion promotion!

Return to Tartarus to defeat the terrifying new Skeleton Key Boss, General Proklitikos! Potential loot drops from this new encounter include weapons you will surely want to add to your arsenal and the new Doom Laurel Item, which will allow you to promote Hawkules! After receiving this item, make your way to a tavern to complete the promotion.

We are hoping that this system will allow us to provide a faster cadence of promotions while also giving players a fun activity to participate in. Let us know your feedback on this experimental system, along with any suggestions and ideas for improvements by heading to our Discord!
