Some time ago, the developers of Little Nightmares held a showcase under the strong call of players for the new game, in which they announced that Little Nightmares 3 and its Enhanced Edition are expected to officially meet with PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch 1/2 and PC players on October 10 this year.

However, at this showcase, Little Nightmares 3 was not the focus that the developers wanted players to pay attention to, but Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes, a new VR game set in the world of Little Nightmares. This is also the first time that new technology has been added since the new developer announced that it would continue to develop this series of games in 2023.

Not surprisingly, the eyes and interests of players who watched this showcase whatever online and offline were attracted by this new work with new VR elements. If you missed it, don’t worry, this guide will break down the key information about these two new games in this showcase for you.

About Little Nightmares 3

The first thing to introduce is the sequel that players have been asking for since the release of Little Nightmares 2 in 2021. In fact, some players were completely confused by the developers’ behavior of holding a presentation for this new game two weeks after the end of Summer Game Fest, because with the blessing of this grand event, the entire series may have more exposure.

However, some players and critics are very happy with the timing of this presentation, because it may make the Little Nightmares series stand out from similar horror games expected to be released at the same time, such as Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, The Kharzov Effect, and Confined: Leaving OKB-134.

Compared to previous games, Little Nightmares 3 has made some improvements in the exquisiteness of the game graphics and quality of life. For example, ray tracing and volumetric lighting have been added, as well as more accurate checkpoint layouts and unspecified auxiliary skills.

Little Nightmares 3 has 4 pre-order versions this time. Here are their prices and the specific contents of the additional rewards.

• ​​​​​​​​Standard Edition ($39.99): A Dark Six Costumes Set (only for pre-order players).
• Digital Deluxe Edition ($59.99): Secrets of The Spiral - Expansion Pass and a Residents Costumes Pack.
• Collector Mirror Edition ($89.99): Compared with Digital Deluxe Edition, it has an additional figure, a metal box, a physical art book, a digital and physical soundtrack, and some stickers.
• Premium Collector Spiral Edition ($119.99): Only available in Bandai Namco Store. Included is a collector’s edition Mirror Edition figure, music box stand, Nome controller/phone holder, and a double-sided coin of Low and Alone.

About Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes

As for Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes, the developer has only released a very short trailer: it starts with a shot of you moving to a door in a cave, and then the door is slowly pushed, and you can see a music box behind the door playing a melody.

Suddenly, a weird scream sounded, and the whole trailer ended. Not only that, there is not much information about this new work with new elements. It can only be learned that the music melody used in the trailer belongs to some clips from Little Nightmares 1 and 2, and each step makes the whole cave echo louder and louder, which may indicate that the truth of the story is getting closer.

In the current horror game market, there are many examples of the clever combination of VR technology and game content, but few are very famous or long-lasting. The developer who took over Little Nightmares series of games in 2019 made a wise decision to add the already mature VR technology to this game that is already very immersive through music and pictures.

Because according to the feedback of many players, playing Little Nightmares on different game consoles will have completely different immersion, and using the curved PC screen to achieve all-round surround exploration is the best option. Therefore, players are very much looking forward to the wonderful experience of bringing the two protagonists safely to the bright zone after wearing VR device.

Other Spin-Offs

In addition to video games, the developers have also added a lot of spin-offs to the Little Nightmares universe, such as Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere comic book, The Sounds of Little Nightmares audio series, Little Nightmares: The Lonely Ones novel, and an untitled stop-motion project.

This is not the first crossover of this series of games, but it is the most anticipated one for players. I hope you can get the best new game experience in Little Nightmares 3, which will be officially released in October, and I also look forward to the developers releasing more information about Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes as soon as possible. I wish you a happy game!

Except for those small casual games, in fact, you will find that most games on the market have their own world background system, especially MMORPGs or large-scale stand-alone RPGs.

Some of them choose to build the game world based on the existing mythology system (such as Norse mythology), and some will combine the characteristics of different countries and regions to create unique original stories. Some are derivative works that directly utilize the background world view of the original.

As a game adapted from Dune series of science fiction novels, Dune: Awakening is based on the original Arrakis planet in the novel, introducing family forces from the original, a currency system based on Dune Awakening Solari, and the special role of spice.

Since the gameplay actually requires you to survive in Arrakis with harsh natural conditions, Dune Awakening is also considered the MMORPG with survival elements. But interestingly, the specific plot narration in the game is different from pure survival games or MMORPGs.

Therefore, this time, we will analyze the unique charm of Dune: Awakening in story creation based on the game’s unique narrative method.

What Kind Of Story Does Dune Awakening Tell?

If you have read the original novel of Dune, you should know that Paul Atreides is one of the most important protagonists in the entire series. It can be said that most of the plot revolves around him.

However, Awakening sets up a parallel world line without Paul. In this world line, Arrakis is completely involved in the civil war between House Atreides and House Harkonnen, and the native Fremen are missing.

The character you create in the game is an agent working for Bene Gesserit (a powerful social, religious, and political force). Your ultimate goal is to find Fremen and “awake the Sleeper” after solving a series of troubles.

How Does The Game Introduce You To The Main Story?

Most MMORPGs will set up a guide NPC to lead you step by step into the story after the main story is unlocked. Dune: Awakening also did this at the beginning.

At the beginning of the game, a seemingly friendly NPC will have a lot of conversations with you and lead you into the cruel Arrakis. But then there will be fewer and fewer NPCs who can advance the plot for you through conversations. If you want to get more clues, you must explore by yourself instead of listening to others’ stories.

When everything is “silent”, you will find that you can only go deep into the vast sands of Arrakis alone, and find resources such as Shigawire Reels, audio logs of abandoned ecological laboratories, or scattered movie books in one adventure after another, to continue to explore the subsequent stories.

In fact, it is these “fragments” that constitute the story of Dune: Awakening. They are inextricably linked to the surrounding environment and require you to feel it yourself. This cannot be achieved by just talking to NPCs.

Different From Traditional Survival Games

Most purely original survival games are usually set in a hostile and exciting open world. There is no specific goal. All you have to do is just to survive as much as possible by collecting resources.

To be honest, these games don’t put too much effort into the story or plot, because it is not the core element of survival games. In traditional survival games, everything revolves around “survival” or resources, and the story only serves to explain the overall background at the beginning.

In contrast, firstly Dune: Awakening has the characteristics of survival games in terms of gameplay in deed. For example, you must learn skills from mentors to deal with enemies, mine and collect resources with special tools, and engage in various spice trades in order to survive.

But on the other hand, as we introduced in the previous point, the game is based on Arrakis and connects multiple fragmented stories from novels. If you want to uncover the final mystery while surviving, you must collect story clues. Ordinary survival games often do not have this requirement.

Different From Other MMORPG Narrative Methods

In general, in terms of advancing the game process, Dune Awakening still utilizes the classic MMO progression model, such as requiring you to accumulate reputation and complete various world events.

In most MMORPGs, a series of linear tasks and dialogues will clearly guide you to complete exploration and events in an orderly manner to gradually understand the whole story. Although a part of Dune: Awakening also chooses this mode, the later you get to the game, the more you will find that the plot is actually driven by the planet Arrakis itself.

The game sets Arrakis as the main narrative driving force by dispersing various NPCs. Various survival-centric gameplays strengthen the story setting, and also take this opportunity to integrate most of the story into the landscape rather than the dialogue: while exploring Arrakis, you are also interpreting all the stories that happened here.

Compared with the traditional MMORPG narrative method, Dune Awakening has obviously made a perspective change attempt, guiding you to experience the story of Dune in the game in a more immersive way, and understand the past, present and future of Arrakis.

Based on this novel narrative method and interesting gameplay, it is not surprising that Dune Awakening quickly became popular and well received after its launch. In fact, not all derivative games can be successful, but at least Dune Awakening is doing well so far.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is full of humor, just like other works in the series. In the past, we could display emojis by pressing the F key in the game, or display Snoop Dogg’s cute voice package and control the characters in Predator. In the current game, we can also play as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their teacher Master Splinter.

All of these show that the rules in first-person shooters are flexible. The new event held to commemorate the history of COD BO6 sub-series continues this humorous feature. Moreover, John Black Ops, as a community emoji that has existed for many years, will be honored as the final reward.

If this practice is widely welcomed by players in the game, the developers will launch more activities that embrace community emojis. If the studio is collecting materials for emojis, it might be a good idea to look at the fan base of Call of Duty Zombies, which has been teasing it since the birth of the mode. There are so many funny materials for Zombies, from “revive me bro I have a Ray Gun” to a dedicated jingle, too many to list. In addition, the M14 Gang and Olympia Gang also provide sufficient high-quality materials for the event.

John Black Ops skin can be obtained through all other rewards of Black Ops Tribute event. This funny meme comes from an online joke that a character without his own name and voice is used as a key figure. Players often use this meme when referring to who the Sitting Bull soldiers on the cover of the game are.

Where Did M14 Gang And Olympia Gang Meme Come From?

Although Call of Duty Zombies series began with World at War in 2008 and became popular on the Internet because of final DLC map Der Riese, more players really fell in love with Zombies because of Call of Duty Black Ops. In 2009, the entire series reached its peak and became a huge success with Modern Warfare 2, and at the same time, it attracted a large number of new fans to join Call of Duty Black Ops.

In addition, the studio also pays more attention to the turn-based cooperative mode. In each room of each map in the earliest Black Ops, there are two weapons for players to choose from, they are the M14 and Olympia.

The two weapons are the same only in price, and they have their own characteristics in other aspects. A big reason for choosing Olympia is that players like the excitement brought by the double-barrel shotgun. Its powerful power can quickly kill enemies.

Players who choose M14 are likely to pay more attention to weapons with greater power in terms of statistics. This weapon is easier to headshot with its super high accuracy and large magazine, thereby gaining game points. As a Newbie, no matter which weapon you choose, practicing in CoD BO6 Bot Lobbies can help you quickly familiarize yourself with their usage and suitable scenarios.

Generally speaking, players will stick to using one of them after choosing it. It lasted until a few years later, when blurry pictures of M14 and Olympia were put together by players, with texts explaining why they chose one or what the other lacked.

M14 Gang And Olympia Gang Event Rules

The most direct, exciting and effective way to complete the event is to use these two powerful guns as the final reward. The developers will provide players with badges, skins and other appearance props for these two weapons during this period. In addition, there is also a reward of agent skin, that is, players can wear clothes with the pattern of the gun to gain a sense of belonging, to show their love and loyalty to the weapon. Now, the developers also use emojis to launch some activities.

The event uses Gang War emojis to trigger heated debate around the purpose of letting players choose a faction. It can be seen that this is a very effective way to get players actively involved in the event.

It may be that players can only get M14 after choosing a faction, and the other weapon Olympia will be obtained through Black Ops 6’s Vault after completing the event. This event can essentially become a limited-time version of CoD Zombies’ faction mode, fulfilling the promise that was not completed five years ago. John Black Ops jokes were used to bring memes from the community into the actual game, and M14 vs. Olympia battle could be the best of them all.

Players! Guess what kind of novel collision we are about to usher in? That’s right, it’s Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal and Berserk crossovers! It has been confirmed that Berserk crossovers will be launched in Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal. This makes people wonder what kind of sparks will be created by the epic collision of these two popular works?

In fact, as early as when Diablo 4 announced its roadmap for 2025, many players had already noticed the upcoming IP collaborations. Although most of the players’ attention was focused on the disappointment of future Season updates at the time, they were still looking forward to this news.

Although the official information is not much at present, based on experience, players should be able to get some Guts-themed cosmetics in Diablo 4 and the franchise’s mobile title. Of course, we hope to see that this collaboration can bring rich game content and plots.

In the short animated video released on April 26, the collaboration was confirmed with a very impactful visual language. In the video, Barbarian wears Guts’ Berserker armor and holds Dragon Slayer, fighting his way through the horde of demons. This trailer, released simultaneously with Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal, shows us how much surprise this IP collaboration will bring.

It is worth noting that this is the first time that the Diablo series has launched a large-scale collaboration with an external IP. Although it has collaborated with World of Warcraft before, they are popular games released by the same developer after all, and the impact brought by this collaboration is stronger. This is why so many players are paying close attention to it.

Although the official has not yet announced the specific form of the collaboration, the gear that appeared in the trailer has aroused heated discussions among players. The compatibility of Dragon Slayer and Barbarian, whether Guts’ Berserker armor will bring special buffs, and what form the game content will appear in are all hot topics that players are concerned about. In any case, this kind of attempt is always particularly exciting, and D4 players will find it even more difficult to hold on to their Diablo 4 Gold.

For players familiar with Berserk, this collaboration is a terrifyingly good match. Since Kentaro Miura started this popular journey of the dark fantasy series in 1988, it has received numerous praises. This phenomenal work not only created a well-known IP and a vivid main protagonist Guts, but also witnessed the deep friendship between Kentaro Miura and Kouji Mori. After Kentaro Miura's death, Kouji Mori has been supervising and completing the subsequent work, which also makes this work more special.

At present, we do not know the specific time of this collaboration, but considering that Diablo 4 Season 8 will be launched on April 29, and according to reliable speculation, the collab is likely to be launched in May or June. This means that this collaboration is very likely to produce a wonderful chemical reaction with the new season. Let us wait and see!

Elden Ring Nightreign is very different from Elden Ring, with a battle royale mechanic, so it’s completely different from the spin-off, which also caused people to be confused about the gameplay of this different game.

Fortunately, the developers tested the game online in February and pointed out the most anticipated aspects of the game. Here are some news released by several developers.

When Is The Game Release Date?

Elden Ring Nightreign will be launched on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series on May 30, 2025.

Do Players Have To Download Elden Ring To Play Nightreign?

Nightreign is a standalone adventure game, so it does not depend on Elden Ring. However, the developers recommend playing Elden Ring before playing Nightreign because the game mechanics are similar. After playing Elden Ring first, you will have a better grasp of this game and level up faster.

Can Players Continue To Play Elden Ring Nightreign Without Internet?

You can play it offline. And it can also be played alone. This is precisely the biggest advantage of the game, because many players live in remote places, which actually meets the needs of some players with underdeveloped networks.

Some people want to play games, but they may have few friends and are unwilling to team up with strangers. This game also takes into account the needs of this group.

How To Play?

Choose a character you like or are good at from the eight given characters, and then form a three-person team with other players. The eight characters are what the developer said, but the current online beta version only has four characters, and the other four characters are not very clear. The four known characters are Duchess, Guardian, Recluse, and Wylder.

• Duchess is an assassin whose ability allows her to remain invisible, allowing her to approach the enemy and cause heavy damage to the enemy;
• Guardian is a tank with heavy armor and a spear that can attack from a distance;
• Recluse is a magician who can cause a lot of damage;
• Wylder is a versatile warrior with strong defense.

But a few days ago, the developer revealed the fifth character Ironeye. Ironeye is an archer character with various bow attacks and can wall jump.

Many players are very curious about the unannounced characters, but please don’t worry, the developer will slowly announce the details of the next few characters.

Let’s go back to the gameplay. After forming a team, the player will be brought into a randomly generated map full of enemies and treasures. When you defeat enemies, you can get rewards, just like in the game Elden Ring, players can get or drop Elden Ring Runes when they defeat enemies. The more enemies you kill, the richer the prizes you get.

And the upgrade is also based on killing enemies. The more enemies you kill, the faster you upgrade. The treasures in the map can be used to improve equipment to better kill enemies. In the process of exploring the map, the storm circle will be closed at different intervals, about 15 minutes. During the closing of the storm circle, the player’s health will also be consumed accordingly.

When the storm circle closes, the night battle begins, and the player needs to fight the night boss. If the player is defeated at this time, the player will repeat the goal of the first day on the second day. On the third day, the player will fight the ultimate boss.

What Is The Difference Between The Gameplay Of Elden Ring Nightreign And Elden Ring?

As mentioned in the previous answer, the core mechanisms of the two games are similar, so the basic gameplay remains unchanged, but Elden Ring Nightreign is very fast. In addition to this, there are also certain differences in upgrading.

Players do not need to constantly increase various attributes like before, but only need to increase the level to increase the attributes. This reduces a lot of complex mechanisms to some extent, allowing players to focus on fighting monsters and upgrading.

The above is all the content currently known about Elden Ring Nightreign. Let us look forward to the launch of this game together.

Many players have approved of the new plot of this update. They think that the story of 7.2 has made significant progress compared to the previous story. Calyx tried to sneak attack Warrior of Light with lightning instead of confronting the players head-on, which shows that he is a smart and excellent villain. At least he really does something that a villain should do.

• April 22: Patch 7.21 (Cosmic Exploration)
• May 27: Patch 7.25 (Occult Crescent, Hildibrand,Mamool Ja quests)
• New Deep Dungeon coming in patch 7.3

The above is part of the content of patch 7.2. There are a lot of content in this update, but there will be subsequent updates. As far as the main storyline is concerned, patch 7.2 is quite satisfactory. There are more and richer content in the game, Warrior of Light, come and experience it.

It has been more than four years since the last update of "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" in November 2020, and there has been almost no news of updates to the game during this period. In order to urge the official to continue updating, a blogger named "Killing Inner Isshin Everyday" on YouTube uploads a video of him defeating "Inner Isshin", one of the most difficult BOSSes in "Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice", every day. He has persisted for 330 days so far, and each video description says "for more Sekiro content".

In these videos, in order to increase the difficulty, the challenge process does not use treatment, spells, combat skills and other operations, and only relies on one weapon to defeat the difficult BOSS, which means that it takes a long time to pass the level and you have to be unharmed. This loyal player said that he will keep doing this until FromSoftware updates more Sekiro content, or he goes completely crazy, whichever comes first. This loyal player records his daily gaming experience while waiting for FS to bring more Sekiro content into his life.

As the release date of Elden Ring Nightreign approaches, FS's multiplayer mode game is also coming. For Dark Souls studio, this will be a brand new game, and this is not the first time they have done something completely different. But Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice had no DLC or sequels in the following years, but FS added boss rush mode, message function, recording function and some unlockable skins in its subsequent updates. Therefore, this Sekiro player wants to call on developers to make more Sekiro series content through his actions.

But to be honest, Elden Ring Nightreign can't bring too much expectation to players. This game reuses too many materials from Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Even if there is new content, it is difficult to get excited, because players are more looking forward to brand new content.

Previously, it was leaked that FromSoftware had multiple games being made at the same time. ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree has been announced, and Elden Ring Nightreig is also coming soon. Hidetaka Miyazaki once said that he doesn't like making sequels. So his next work will definitely bring a lot of new content to players. If the next work is a spiritual sequel to Sekiro or Bloodline, it will be a surprise.

Just recently, Genshin Impact officially announced two new characters that will appear in version 5.5. Although players are still experiencing the early stages of version 5.4, the leaker has already released a lot of information about Genshin Impact 5.5.

Version 5.4 neither updated new areas nor made any progress in the mainline. I believe many players may feel a little bored about this, but fortunately this situation will be improved in version 5.5. Although it is not clear whether version 5.5 will involve the mainline, the next version will develop new areas. New areas mean a lot of Primogems!

Date

There is still a long time before the update of version 5.5, and players have to wait at least a month. The specific update time of version 5.5 is around March 25 to March 26.

How Many Primogems?

How many Primogems are there in version 5.5? I believe this is a question that many players will be concerned about. The good news is that there will definitely be more Primogems in version 5.5 than in version 5.4. After all, there is a new zone.

According to the leaker’s estimate, after counting quests, achievements, map zones, and regular activities, players can get about 12,875 free Primogems in version 5.5! That’s about 80 draws from the Intertwined Fate banner. If you can get all the free Primogems, it basically means you can get at least one five-star character in version 5.5. Version 5.4 only provides players with about 9,350 Primogems, which is equivalent to only about 58 draws from the banner.

Daily Commissions And Activities

Version 5.5 will last for about 6 weeks, assuming it is from March 26 to May 7, so players can get a total of 2,520 Primogems in daily Commissions. This number can only be reached if players log in every day and complete commissions. On the other hand, the number of Primogems that players can get from the event is about 2,360. Players need to complete all the activities to get these Primogems.

At present, some of the contents and events of version 5.5 have been leaked:

• New characters: Varesa, Iansan
• New areas: Ancient Sacred Mountain, Sanctified Wilds
• Two new Artifact sets
• Huitzilopochtli World Quest
• Tournament of Glory in Bloom event
• Rhythm Ball (brick buster) event rerun
• “Ultimate Chicken House” event (Co-op)
• “UFC” combat event

There will be two new characters, Varesa and Iansan, in version 5.5. Do you want to get these characters? It may not be difficult to get one of them, but it is very difficult to unlock their complete forms unless you are extremely lucky. For many players, when they encounter a character they like, they can only choose Genshin Impact Top Up with great pain.

New Maps And Quests

In the new areas, Ancient Sacred Mountain, Sanctified Wilds, players can get about 2,000 Primogems. This includes various sources such as treasure chests and puzzles in the new areas. Unlocking new teleports in the new areas can also get about 150 Primogems.

The opening of new maps will also bring new quests. Players can get about 300 Primogems of quest rewards by completing new quests.

Miscellaneous

In addition to the above content, there are some other ways to get original stones. For example, completing character trials can get Primogems. Version 5.5 will provide 4 new characters for players to try out, each with 20 Primogems, that is, 80 Primogems.

Players may not be very sensitive to this, but the new achievements of version 5.5 are expected to provide 475 Primogems. The update and maintenance of version 5.5 will provide 600 Primogems to each player. And 300 Primogems can be obtained through the redemption code during the live broadcast of the version.

An important source of Primogems for players is Spiral Abyss. Players can get a total of about 2,400 Primogems from Spiral Abyss and Imaginarium Theater.

The Pass

Not all players will choose to unlock the pass, but the rewards of Genshin Impact Pass are pretty good. If you subscribe to Blessing of the Welkin Moon during version 5.4, you can get an additional 3,780 Primogems.

If you continue to subscribe to Battle Pass in version 5.5, you can get 1,320 Primogems and an additional eight draws. Subscribing to the pass is a good choice. Although it takes a little time, the rewards are much higher than directly Top Up. The pass is a very economical choice for active players.

The above is the information about all Primogems that players can get in version 5.5. Since it is just a leak, it is not guaranteed to be true. Although you will definitely be able to get a lot of Primogems in version 5.5, the developers have a habit of staggering the release of rewards and new banner characters. It sounds a bit mean, but when new characters appear on the banner, you will inevitably have to replenish Primogems through Genshin Impact Top Up. The best strategy is to save Primogems in advance for your favorite characters, the more the better. After all, the probability of the appearance of the banner characters of Genshin Impact will not show mercy to any player.

When players finish Act 3, they have basically reached the end of the game. However, this is not the end of the game, because players can continue to play to face the real challenge. This is Path of Exile 2 endgame.

What Is Endgame?

Endgame will provide players with a special map. To enter it, you must complete Act 3 twice. The first time is normal difficulty, and the second time is Cruel difficulty.

At the end of the third act of POE 2, a mysterious force attacks everyone. Alva and Doryani will take you to Ziggurat Refuge.

By talking to Doryani, you will learn about Cataclysm. If you can’t stop its spread, Cataclysm will corrupt Wraeclast and destroy everything. Your task is to clear the corruption on the map and bring civilization back to this land.

Path Of Exile 2 Atlas

Atlas is a navigation device that can teleport you to the corrupted area. You can use Waystone to calibrate the area you teleport to. Waystone can adjust the monsters on the map, and it also has the level. Doryani will give you a level 1 Waystone.

Players will encounter a random group of monsters at each level. In the early assessment, you can encounter more than 400 different monster types. You need to defeat all the monsters to enter the deeper parts of Atlas.

This map has a rich biome, from wilderness to snowy mountains, from woodlands to cities. These cities will provide different items. If you are interested, you can explore them.

Waystone

One Waystone can allow you enter a level once. The level is divided into different levels. The higher the level, the more dangerous the monsters are, and the more rewards you get.

Waystone can be made using POE 2 Currency, and can also be dropped by monsters. Waystone can change its rarity or add affixes with orbs.

You can add prefix mods to increase rewards or add suffix mods to increase danger. These ways can also increase the drop rate of Waystone, or allow you to get a higher level Waystone.

Atlas Tree

Another way to change monster drops is Atlas Tree. Players can gain Atlas Tree skill points by clearing corruption from the map. These points can be used to adjust the rewards of the level or the danger of the monsters.

Hideout

Hideout is the area where players camp and repair. Of course, you need to clear the monsters here to occupy it. After that, you can invite NPCs to hang out in your hideout.

Towers

You can see these buildings on the map. They are scattered around Ziggurat Refuge. When you complete a tower, you can see more map content to help you plan your next move.

Activities

Activities are the main gameplay content you will face in the endgame of PoE 2. There are currently four main Activities: Breach, Delirium, Expedition, Ritual.

Each activity is optional. You can complete the map without participating in the activity, or vice versa. But once you die, the activity is closed on this map. Even if you respawn and return to this map, the activity will not be opened again.

Each activity requires you to clear the monsters as quickly as possible, so the faster the better. It is best to bring a Waystone that can make the monster level at least three levels lower than you. Some activities introduce additional modifiers that make the game more difficult. Read the tooltip before you enter the altar.

Breach

The demon world and the player world are connected, and now powerful monsters will cross over to the player world. Players will fight them in the rifts. Killing these monsters will get a lot of POE 2 Items.

Players can find Breach Stones near the tower. Through Breach Stones, you can go to the other side and fight the leader Xesht. You can get Atlas Tree skill points.

Ritual

There is a red symbol above each map. This is a place built by the King in the Mists for sacrifice. When you enter the misty place, you must kill monsters to offer their blood to the altar. When you kill them all, you can touch the altar to revive them again.

You can exchange the sacrifice for loot. When everything is over, you will meet King in the Mists. Defeating it will get Atlas Tree skill points.

Delirium

You can find mirrors in different maps that will teleport you to the mists of delirium. As you advance through the mists, the monsters you encounter will become increasingly powerful. In the end, you will encounter Simulacrum Splinters, which are twisted monsters from your memories. After you defeat them, you will gain Atlas Tree skill points.

Expedition

Kalgurrans need your help to use explosions to dig up lost artifacts. These explosions will awaken undead corrupted monsters. Using the debris will further anger them.

You can exchange the artifacts you get with Kalgurrans for items and magic runes. At the end, you will fight Olroth, the commander of Knights of the Sun.

This is the basic information about the endgame of Path of Exile 2. You can continue to play here for hundreds of hours. However, some players say that the current endgame content is not rich enough. That’s because the developers still need to develop the next three acts of the main story. However, in the endgame, you can get more POE 2 Exalted Orbs and other currencies than in the main story. You can get enough loot here. After the subsequent three acts are released, endgame will become even more fun.

In Season 6 of Diablo 4, the gameplay and strength of each class have changed a lot. Season 6 adds more story missions and endgame modes. Each class has their own highlights.

When Diablo 4 was first released, Druid became the strongest class. Now that Season 7 is about to be released, Druid’s strength is still at the forefront.

If you want to become a strong Druid player, then the following information will be helpful to you.

Skills

Lightning Storm Druid has many active and passive skills. However, the player’s skill points are limited, and it is impossible to upgrade all skills to the maximum level. Fortunately, only some skills are crucial for Lightning Storm Druid.

Druid players can use Diablo 4 Gold to reset points according to the points below.

The main skills that Druid needs to upgrade to level 5 are Lightning Storm and Cataclysm. This is the main offensive means of Lightning Storm Druid. Maul, Earthen Bulwark, Blood Howl are each assigned one level, you can use these skills to contain your opponent.

Lightning Storm Druid has many passive skills, the most important of which is Bestial Rampage.

In addition, allocate some points to other passive skills:

• Predatory Instinct: 1
• Iron Fur: 3
• Backlash: 3
• Ancestral Fortitude: 1
• Vigilance: 3
• Nature’s Reach: 3
• Feral Aptitude: 3
• Electric Shock: 3
• Bad Omen: 2
• Endless Tempest: 2
• Neurotoxin: 1
• Envenom: 3
• Natural Disaster: 3
• Defiance: 3
• Circle of Life: 3
• Devensive Posture: 2
• Catastrophe: 3
• Quickshift: 3
• Heightened Senses: 3

These points are just for reference. You can make some changes according to your own ideas. Don’t worry about not having enough skill points. Season 7 of the update allows you to increase your level to level 50 and 60, and then you will get a lot of skill points. Even if you want to match some other skills, it doesn’t matter.

Spirit Boons

Druids have 16 Spirit Boons, but can only carry 5. Lightning Storm Druid recommends carrying the following:

• Deer - Wariness (Boon): Reduces damage from Elites (Buff)
• Eagle - Avian Wrath (Boon): Gain more critical strike damage (Buff)
• Wolf - Calamity (Boon): Ultimate skills last 35% longer (Buff)
• Snake - Calm before the Storm (Boon): Magic skills cooldown reduced (Buff)
• Eagle - Iron Feather (Boon): Increase your maximum life (Buff)

Combat Method

First cast Cyclone Armor and Earthen Bulwark to make yourself hard to destroy. Then cast Cataclysm on the enemy, and finally jump into the battlefield, casting Maul and Lightning Storm as needed.

If you are running low on health, cast Blood Howl to transform into a werewolf, which can increase damage and heal yourself.

Mercenaries

Vessel of Hatred introduces mercenaries, who can provide us with greater freedom in our construction and assign some key skill tasks to them.

It is recommended to choose these two mercenaries: Varyana and Rahier. Varyana’s Bloodthirst can provide players with 25% attack speed. And Varyana’s Bastion can protect us from receiving damage.

Paragon Glyphs

Glyphs can provide players with many necessary attribute bonuses, and the glyph system can be upgraded in Nightmare Dungeons.

These glyphs are recommended: ‍Spirit‍, Keeper, Earth and Sky, Fulminate, Electrocution.

Items And Equipment

Diablo 4’s equipment system is very rich, and good equipment is hard to come by. The following are just some recommendations for Lightning Storm Druid.

• Helmet: Tempest Road
• Chest Armor: Shroud of False Death
• Gloves: Unsung Ascetic’s Wraps
• Pants: Skinwalkers Runic Leggings
• Boots: Wildheart Hunger
• Two-Handed Polearm: Shamanistic Staff of Retaliation
• Amulet: Unbending Choker of the Unsatiated
• Ring: Mjölnic Ryng & Ring of Starless Skies

These Diablo 4 Items are the top equipment for building Lightning Storm Druid, and it may take you some time to build them.

Armory will return in Season 7, and players can switch genres with one click, including equipment, skills and peak points. Each class has 5 sets of templates, and switching genres does not consume Diablo 4 Gold. Druid players can build a Lightning Storm Druid. It performs well in both PVE and PVP.There are many other interesting and powerful characters besides Druid, and you can follow us to find guides for other characters in our section.

The new Spiritborn class introduced in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion has left an inerasable impression among players with its unprecedented versatility and overwhelming power.

But it is destined to be another stepping stone for a better ARPG experience in the future. As Diablo 4 progresses, there may be more expansion packs and more new professions introduced one after another. But it may also introduce subclasses like Path of Exile.

After all, if it is not a completely innovative class, there is no need to introduce it as a separate class, which will only increase the similarity between characters. And players will become more and more entangled in class selection.

If future expansion chooses to introduce a new class, then it is likely to be Holy Knight Class. If the subclasses mechanism is chosen, it is recommended that Diablo 4 learn from Path of Exile.

Holy Knight Class Would Complement Storylines

Developing core classes innovatively is the primary task that game developers seeks for. Thankfully, Diablo 4 has a lot of potential for character development in the future. But in terms of the immediate future and the next expansion, there is already a clear path to serve as the complementary storyline of later series, and that is Holy Knight.

Vessel of Hatred concludes with Akarat’s mortal body being corrupted by Mephisto and becomes his new vessel, which has invited divisive discussion because of its open-ended and anticlimactic plot. Despite this, the overall storyline development remains clear.

The end signifies the downfall of the light and sets the theme of next expansion. The next expansion is destined to present a world indulged in doom and hopelessness. And Vessel of Hatred DLC hints at the return of Tyrael, which means a lot to the next class.

Diablo 4 features the lack of representative “sword and board” class. And Holy Knight fits the bill very well. In the previous games, Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, Holy Knight appeared in a similar capacity, such as Paladin class and Crusader class. This provided a source of inspiration for Diablo 4, and it only needed to be redesigned according to the current standards of new classes.

If Holy Knight class is really introduced in the future, it will share more versatilities and specialities than Spiritborn.

Path Of Exile Offers A Recipe For Subclasses

Given the class balance problem of the game, introducing new classes will inevitably lead to the decline of old classes, although adding new active and passive skills to them to improve their arsenals will not help. And it can be demonstrated by the popularity of Spiritborn in Vessel of Hatred.

Vessel of Hatred expansion has also offered powerful items that are exclusive to Spiritborn, which can be traded with Diablo 4 Gold, and it undoubtably enhance its ability to the next stage.

So it is reasonable to perform subclasses in further expansion to achieve the balance of classes. Rather than overshadowing all other classes like Spiritborn did.

But it isn’t a simple task. The change of design concept is typically requires much of time and effort. Still, Path of Exile serves as a ready-made reference template for Diablo 4. The system called Ascendancy supports Path of Exile three specializations for every base class.

7 base classes and 19 Ascendancy classes grant Path of Exile various build diversity. Each subclass is targeted at providing new and diverse enhancements for its base class. This model enhances the three-dimensionality of the class, which is exactly what Vessel of Hatred DLC lacks.

But for Diablo 4, it is difficult to innovate new classes based on the existing six classes. So introducing subclasses is indeed a fun and feasible decision. Improving and adjusting the original class is also an effective way to attract players.

Spiritborn Class Is Too Powerful

Spiritborn are available to cast incredible skills which can be simply combined regardless of the type of Spirit Hall. Quill Volley skill is extremely powerful for clearing enemies and dealing tremendous damage to slay bosses. The “shotgun” skills basically make it invincible, not to mention those newly added Diablo 4 Items that are aimed at enhancing the performance of this new class further.

This undoubtedly exposes the imbalance of class performance. Taking Spectral Throw in Path of Exile as a reference, Quill Volley Spiritborn builds that dominate the endgame list and are destined to be nerfed, just like what Path of Exile did to Spectral Throw.

Whether it is a reduction in the damage, or a degradation to the entire class mechanism, this skill will not be retained for long.

Regardless of whether a new class is introduced, or a subclass is created, some of Spiritborn’s skills are bound to be weakened, unless Diablo 4 intends to make the other 5 classes trapped in a nameless state consistently.
