In addition to these nightmarish new enemies, other variants of monsters and ancient creatures loved by fans in previous episodes, such as the Bishaten Orange and the mighty Astalos, will appear to challenge hunters in ranked difficulty quests.
Investigating the deeds of the Three Lords will lead adventurers across the kingdom to exciting new locations like the brand new Citadel. The latter consists of snow-capped peaks cascading over lush forests teeming with new endemic life forms.
