The basement of the Colosseum is now fully functional with its first permanent resident - the Headless Horseman! Go downstairs to try your hand at the level 20 version of this battle.
Over the last few days, I extended the "paladin" enemy class stat sheet from level 20 up to 120 and then used that data to create a level 50, 75, 100, and 125 variant of the Headless Horseman. This will be available via DLC starting on November 17th, 2020! The fight runs pretty much the same but with super increased stats on his part. Each higher difficulty also increases the likelihood that certain Hallows themed weapons and accessories will drop. For full details, please see the Challenge of the Headless DLC store page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1459600/Cross_of_Auria__Challenge_of_the_Headless/
Please note: The level 20 variant is a permanent addition to the game without the DLC. The DLC specifically adds the ability to change which difficulty of this boss to fight.
Short version of the patch notes: Completing any level of the An'ura Rift will reset the Headless Horseman's spawn in the basement in addition to its current function which is resetting all vents. Additionally, defeating the Horseman at any level will reset all vents. The only respawn method for the Horseman, regardless of DLC ownership, it to complete a rift in the main lobby of the Colosseum. This is likely to change in the future depending on feedback or the addition of other activities.
