Now let's take a closer look at some points.
SACRED GROVE
Sacred Grove is part of the Magic Forest which is guarded by Angalar's magicians. This place is a small glade surrounded by forests and rocks. Fiona the Fairy lives in this grove, and she definitely has some tasks for young mercenaries! You can travel to Sacred Grove through the portal which is located in eastern part of the Endless Desert.
QUEST SYSTEM
Quests is one of the main features in any role-playing game. Quests in Hero's Story have different types and difficulty levels. For example, in one quest you need to scout some area and return back, and in other quest - defeat mighty boss and gather the loot. Brave adventurers will be rewarded with gold, equipment and glory points!
NEW ENEMIES AND MORE
A lot of new content has been added to the game in this update. These are new characters, new items, new objects and places on the game levels. There are also two new types of enemies - Young Wolves, which are found in the forests and can cause bleeding with their bite, as well as Sandbugs, which are heavily armored and have a small chance of inflicting poison. Get your antidote ready!
Have fun! Your Silent.
