And now let's take a closer look at some points!
KING'S CAVE
This cave once became the battlefield of a mighty warrior and an ancient monster. Now only the restless spirits of the deserts and the abandoned gold of Enthor are left here. According to rumors, there is a large underground lake under this cave. Perhaps that is why several types of rare medicinal plants grow here.
NEW ENEMIES
Ghouls, vampires, utopians - this evil undead has many names. Being corpse-eaters, ghouls can terrify the enemy, not allowing them to move or attack. Ghouls are a formidable opponent and are dangerous even in small numbers, but the anti-magic potion can help to cope with fear!
ENDLESS UPDATE
A long time ago, the way to the Endless Desert was opened to travelers, but many important things, apparently, were lost in the sands. In this update, the Endless Desert will be transformed, opening the veil of mysticism and secrets! The oasis in the east will now heal the player's character, cacti, rocks and sands have begun to look even better, and the Ruins of Shasaf, although hidden by a magical storm, now look more like ruins. Also, the whole area was covered by a sandstorm - look, don't get lost!
Have fun! Yours faithfully, Silent.
