You and your group are sitting down for some cold brew in the Sleeping Lion after a hard day's mercenary work. Protecting that merchant was too troublesome... Suddenly a peculiar Orchid covered in an innumerable amount of crystals approaches and sits down at the table.

Looking from under her shadowed hood, she begins speaking.
"So you're the the mercenary group I've heard about?"
She looks around the table.
"Not that it says much coming from the people I heard it from. But I'd like to know what kind of feats you can muster."
She eyes each of you intently, measuring your value to her.
"Prove your true worth." She snaps "Accept the challenge that is coming and uncover all that lies beneath the veil..."

A chill runs down your spine at her final words, but before you can consider responding to the ludicrous comments of this crazed Orchid, she disappears in an instant. Your group stares quietly at one another, wondering what kind of wild and harrowing adventure awaits you all...











A sinister cabal started abducting the less fortunate of the city... and it somehow falls to you to get to the bottom of it. Thankfully, in Gloomhaven, salvation has a price...

Jaws of the Lion is finally out! Here is what you will find in this brand new DLC:

• 4 news mercenaries: the stalwart Red Guard, the fearsome Hatchet, the explosive Demolitionist and the mysterious Voidwarden are waiting for you

• 22 new city events that will put your moral compass to the test

• 24 Battle Goals to let down your group over whole new reasons
  
• A fully voiced campaign by Alec Newman
  
• Partial Demolitionist rework and overall perks improvements for the digital version

You will be able to access the DLC through Gloomhaven’s story campaign, unlocking Jaws of the Lion’s missions after the second campaign scenario.

After surviving an encounter with the void as a child, they are now able to harness its mysterious magic to protect others from a similar fate. Minds are open books for the Voidwarden, and they manipulate the thoughts and actions of both allies and foes... but always at a heavy price.

Always ready to destroy any obstacle that stands in their way, the Quatryl Demolitionist is a force to be reckoned with. They can augment their body with very powerful and quite unstable contraptions to devastate enemies on the battlefield. You might want to move aside.

The Inox Hatchet is a sinister marksman. He has a strong inclination for axe-throwing, and knows how to hold a grudge. Oh! And his enemies are just as good as dead. They simply might not know it yet.

With their distinctive red armor, shield and chained sickle, the Valrath Red Guard manipulates the battlefield. They are able to both protect their allies and keep their enemies at bay, handling multiple opponents at once. None shall escape the Red Guard’s grasp…







No, you are able to integrate the content of the DLC (4 mercenaries, 10 items and 25 new scenarios) with a simple click of a button into an existing Story campaign without having to start over. Alternatively, all new Story campaigns will have all new mercenaries and scenarios available from the start, while the Guildmaster campaigns will only include the new mecenaries and items.
Note: DLC-enabled save games cannot be reverted to non-DLC games.
If you play in the Guildmaster mode, once converting the save or starting a new game the 4 mercenaries will be immediately available and the items will be added to various treasure tables.

Having Jaws of the Lion as a DLC allowed us to mix and match the content of Gloomhaven and Jaws of the Lion. We needed to change some things in Jaws of the Lion for that to happen smoothly. It also allowed us to mix some of the content of the DLC with the Guildmaster mode!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


You can expect about 30+ hours of entirely new content.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


You will be able to play online up to 4 players, the same as the base game. Once a saved game is converted to be DLC compatible, all players will require the DLC to be able to join.
When starting a new campaign you will have the option to activate Jaws of the Lion or play with the base game only.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Although we cannot share anything at this point, we will keep supporting the game after the release of Jaws of the Lion.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


All the languages of the base game will be supported.
These languages are English, French, German and Spanish.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


The DLC will be available on Steam and GoG for Windows & MacOS.

Now is the time for you to meet the remaining two mercenaries from the upcoming Jaws of the Lion DLC: Voidwarden and Demolitionist.

As a reminder:

Each of these characters brings something new to combat within Gloomhaven Digital, including their own unique powerful ability when they reach level 5 so be prepared for spoilers about their gameplay and stop reading now if you want it to be a surprise!

[[i]Note: some parts of this article are hidden under black lines to avoid spoilers - Hover over them if you wish to reveal the content![/i]]

The important thing to know is that these characters are available to use in your core Gloomhaven scenarios and core mercs can take part in Jaws scenarios, neither are limited to their own content, so the amount of combos has increased massively.



The Voidwarden has access to a wide range of abilities, suited to almost any occasion, as long as that occasion involves an assortment of fangs, claws and various rusty weapons pointed in your direction. She excels however at control, both via classic crowd control abilities, debuffing multiple enemies or by directly controlling ally or enemy actions. The sheer range of options for her top and bottom half abilities can be intimidating at first.

Also, due to her ability to buff her allies (often with minor drawbacks) she performs better in larger parties where there are more mercs to aid and more enemies to exterminate.

The Voidwarden’s Level 5 ability allows them to summon a Ward, a defensive obstacle that both poisons nearby enemies and protects the Voidwarden with a defensive disadvantage shield. As the Ward cannot be moved once placed, you’ll need to think ahead to ensure she can stay close throughout the scenario to continue to gain its effects.

When playing as the Voidwarden you need to ensure your allies actually ‘want’ the bonuses you are giving them. Unlike other support classes, the Voidwarden’s buffs often come with a drawback and that has the possibility of really hampering your friends’ plans. Then again, maybe they shouldn’t have looted ‘your’ chest?



Now who have we left until last? The Tinkerer with jet boots and massive punchy gloves and a pink bandana.. Also, why haven’t I dived straight into their abilities I hear you ask, well, if you are a Gloomhaven old salt, you might be ready to say ‘Oh that Demolitionist, it works in Jaws, but if you take them into the core Gloomhaven missions the levels aren’t set up right for their abilities.’

Well, Isaac heard you, and Isaac’s design team heard Isaac, and we heard Isaac’s design team, so for Gloomhaven Digital, the Demolitionist has had a bunch of redesigns and therefore, we’ll start with the rebalance and then move onto the play style…

Firstly a number of cards have had terminology changes, but that is across the board for Jaws, mainly ‘Objectives’ changing to ‘Obstacles with hit points’ so that a number of their abilities work in the core Gloomhaven experience.

The other more major changes are as follows:

Implode Bottom - The rework here gives the ability more uses, similar to a powered up version of a couple of the Cragheart’s abilities.

Rubble Top - This was the only card that used Destruction tokens which Isaac decided to remove from the Demolitionist’s gameplay, so this ability is changed to be a powerful attack.

Rubble Bottom - Rebalanced after the changes to Destruction tokens and pushing the Demolitionist’s Dungeon altering abilities.

Nowhere to Run Bottom - Another ability doubling down on Obstacle movement.

Mech Suit Top - You still get a mech, but instead of a simple heal (Not great if poisoned!), you get a free rest.

Mech Suit Bottom - The Loot has been upgraded to a small attack plus obstacle creation.

So, how does this make the Demolitionist play?


The Demolitionist now has their obstacle movement and creation ability turned up to 11. Obstacles can be utilized to funnel enemies into your allies’ path, or reroute them through traps. Whereas in the past the player had to juggle Demolition tokens, they have more options and keep access to the Demolitionists better cards. Just remember you can’t actually drop a rock on someone’s head, leave that to ol’ Craggie.

The Demolitionist’s Level 5 ability gives them a decent health upgrade but more importantly refreshes ALL their discarded cards. This is now a key gameplay component, the moment to drop the mech will be extremely important although a slightly easier decision than Crystal face’s Reviving Ether.
Of course, the Demolitionist stomping about in a Mech also looks pretty cool!

Aside from throwing rocks around and piloting a big robot, the Demolitionist is a melee damage dealer at heart, loving to get in close, smashing an enemy in the face and them pushing them away or backing off. They are best used protecting the squishier members of the team from danger.

The Demolitionist also have a pretty unique set of Perks, allowing them to remove a lot of Perks from their deck to get to their juicier hits more often, making every punch hit that little bit harder.


How convenient… I talk about Perks, and then look, a Perks section… Many fans of Jaws also have remarked in the past that a couple of the mercs are missing classic Gloomhaven Perks and this affects them badly in the full Gloomhaven campaign.

Well, again Isaac has been thinking of you, so there are some minor Perk tweaks as well in Jaws Digital:

The Demolitionist & Voidwarden get an ‘Ignore scenario effects’ perk and the Red Guard gets a perk that unlocks ‘Ignore Negative Item Effects’ to have access to the swanky armor sets.

There are a few other minor tweaks to go along with these, but you’ll be able to check them out on the Perks screen in game.

The Hatchet declared themselves ‘perfect’ and sat in the corner sharpening their axes, so it was decided to leave them be.


That’s it for now, why not post a thought on which mercs you want to try out first, or come to our Discord server and discuss strategies or find other players to take Jaws on with?
