Hey everyone, associate producer Horsejoke here with another update on Dark and Light’s development. This week we’re continuing our look at Dark and Light’s mystical, magical Elementals. As before, if you want to discover these creatures on your own, then head back now, because we’ve got a few more small spoilers today! If you happened to miss part 1, you can check it out here.
Stone Elemental:
That’s not a pile of rubble… well, it is, but it’s also a Stone Elemental! Unlike other Elementals, they’re not particularly attached to any single biome; they’re comfortable just about anywhere on land. They generally don’t bother with adventurers, but if you mistake them for a boulder and try to take a chunk off of them with a pickaxe, they won’t take it sitting down. If you’re looking to keep your base safe while you’re away, it’s a great idea to keep a group of Stone Elementals around.
Ice Elemental:
These guys are the polar opposite of the Fire Elementals we revealed last week. Found only in the most frigid regions of Dark and Light’s world, Ice Elementals will chill any nearby player to the bone, making it necessary to prepare some warmth magic and appropriate equipment before thinking about approaching them.
Light Elemental:
Standing strong in opposition to the forces of Darkness is the pure essence of order, the Light Elemental. Like Similar to Dark Elementals, Light Elementals are significantly more powerful than other types of Elementals. Also, just because they embody order, it doesn’t mean they’re any less likely to absolutely slaughter a group of adventurers that cross its path. If you happen to see a blinding light in the distance during an evening stroll, it may be best to stay away unless you’re ready for a tough fight.
Those are some of the full Elementals that you’ll encounter in Dark and Light, but this update isn’t over yet!
Water Imp
That’s not a mirage, it’s a Water Imp! Found near rivers or other bodies of water, Water Imps tend to blend in with their environment nearly perfectly, making them particularly hard to track down. Their skill in camouflage doesn’t mean they can’t protect themselves if they’re caught, though. Tamed Water Imps will help keep a thirsty adventurer hydrated on long journeys, as well as helping out in combat.
Ice Imp
Who would have thought that an avatar of elemental magic could be so cute? Like their matured Ice Elemental brothers, Ice Imps can only be found in extremely cold areas. They’re fairly aggressive in the wild, but tamed Ice Imps loyally follow their masters, lending a hand in combat and using their natural iciness to preserve food and various perishable reagents while you’re exploring the world! This property makes keeping an Ice Imp around a major priority for any adventurer struck with wanderlust.
We can’t wait to see what players will accomplish with a whole team of Elementals at their side. Now that we’ve revealed all of Dark and Light’s Elementals and Imps, let us know which one is your favorite in the comments below, and we’ll be back next week with more updates on Dark and Light’s development!
