What to Expect in The Dark Horizon DLC
In The Dark Horizon, players return to N’Erud, a mysterious world frozen in time. This alien landscape, once home to a thriving civilization, now lies in ruin, its farmlands maintained by rogue AI and robotic creations. These dangers loom large as players unravel the secrets of the colossal entity dominating the skyline.
The DLC introduces a brand-new storyline set within N’Erud’s necropolis, where players will explore new dungeons, uncover hidden mysteries, and engage in intense combat. A key highlight is the addition of a glider traversal system, exclusive to this overworld, offering fresh exploration mechanics. Along the journey, players can also unlock powerful new gear, including the “Warden” Archetype, encounter unexpected allies, and face a variety of new threats.
For those who own the DLC, accessing it is simple—just head to a World Stone, select “Adventure Mode,” and choose The Dark Horizon. Alternatively, it can be experienced seamlessly within the main campaign. One of the unique aspects of The Dark Horizon, as well as the other DLCs, is that players without the DLC can still join the storyline by teaming up with someone who owns it. However, to utilize DLC-specific items, they must purchase the DLC themselves.
Introducing the Free Boss Rush Mode
The free update that launched alongside The Dark Horizon includes Boss Rush, a new mode designed for players eager to jump straight into intense boss fights. In this mode, players can choose to go solo or team up with others, selecting from three different difficulty tiers:
- Triple Threat (three bosses),
- Trial by Fire (seven bosses),
- The Gauntlet (nineteen bosses).
Each run will test players’ skills as they face hordes of enemies, including Aberrations, leading up to boss battles. Throughout the mode, players can earn temporary buffs, stat bonuses, and passive boosts that will aid them as they attempt to defeat bosses and collect elusive drops like rare weapons.
To start a Boss Rush run, simply go to the World Stone in Ward 13 and select the mode, choosing your preferred difficulty before heading into battle.
Additional Updates and Features
Along with the new game mode, the free update introduces several quality-of-life improvements. One of the major additions is the new Prisms system, which enhances the existing fragment system, allowing players to level up and gain additional stat boosts. Additionally, an Item Search Filter has been implemented to make inventory management easier.
