It’s that time of year when the floor creaks a little louder, the wind whispers ominously against the windows. There is no better way than to start the spooky season by a celebration of horror - and speaking of which, we are in one!
The DreadXP Indie Horror Showcase, featuring Empty Shell, starts Today! There will be horror and terror galore with Empty Shell right in front and centered. We won’t hold your hand, but… you might just run into one. So get yourself comfortable and and put on your favorite spooky vibes and enjoy the show.
For Luminous Skies: Horizons, a new companion can be picked up at the Southern Royal Outpost, in the tent to the left of the world gate. From there the player will also be given a quest to deal with some dragon cultists that have been making sacrifices to their master at their shrine.
Your new companion is a Necromancer by the name of Olasz. He works as a mortician for the Royal Empire. And since visiting the Southern Royal Outpost, he has been very busy. This is the second time the Necromancer class has shown up but the first time it's been one of your companion's preferred professions. This class specializes in casting spells that cause condition effects, life steal, or debilitate opponents. There are a few extra spells as well, such as a general shadow A.o.E. and a single target light spell [in universe, this would be known by these shadowy casters to keep a tight leash on any creatures they might have under their command].
For Luminous Skies: Interstellar, a new mission area has been added to Dorado Prime. One of the labs within the heart of the Solar Regime has been overrun with human/bio-monster hybrids. Suppression of these creatures is of the upmost importance as a lot of innocent civilians will be otherwise fall victim to them. There is no mission prompt for this one, simply enter the mission area to begin.
Miscellaneous fixes to companions, gear loadouts, and skills, some of these should now auto fix upon picking up Olasz. Alternatively, the character restoration option [hidden in Citra's Basement] should also fix any improper a skill assignments [LSH]
The skill 'Fire' now does less initial damage but now causes burning [LSH, LSASA]
Additionally, please join us for other events as well. Halloween decor can be activated [at the inns] in both the Capitol of the Royal Empire [LSH, LSP] or at Oakside [LSH, LSASA].
There are free holiday biscuits for everyone to enjoy in both A Short Adventure [and Horizons] and The Pilgrimage.
Players with the Horizons Expansion DLC for A Short Adventure will be can find a fanatical mage wandering around Oakside. To which, the party may choose to engage him in combat. The fight can be a little challenging but it shouldn't be any trouble if you're high enough level and figure out his weakness. The rewards for defeating him are substantial.
Players with Luminous Skies: The Pilgrimage [as well as Horizons, now] will be able to find a Jack-o-lantern inside the Imperial Capitol Inn. Not only does the Imperial Capitol get new decorations but there may be a special encounter that may appear as a result. Inquiring with the local citizens may shed some light on this darkened path.
When certain conditions are met, there may be other areas out there for the player to discover...
The simulation deck aboard your ship, in Interstellar, also has a Halloween themed simulation to enjoy.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us on the discussion board. There's even a leveling guide there for Luminous Skies: A Short Adventure and Horizons. It's probably the best point of contact.
