Hunt a "bone devil" with acid spew in Neverwinter: Avernus's next update

Our first look at what's to come in Neverwinter: Avernus - The Redeemed Citadel's Milestone III is here. The server-wide push to help Zariel restore the Citadel has put Milestone II behind us, and developer Cryptic Studios has now lifted the veil on the campaign's third content drop. Alongside a new leaderboard goal, Heroic Encounter, and various in-game goodies to grab, there's a devilishly tricky three-star hunt to tackle and handy fast-travel feature on the way.

The Redeemed Citadel's third Milestone unlocks a new chamber called the Portal Room. As its name implies, this chamber holds a series of arcane portals that'll make travelling the online RPG game's areas far easier, as senior game designer Doug 'Asterdahl' Miller tells us in an exclusive interview. "That's going to allow players to travel to the world map from the Redeemed Citadel," he says.

"Currently, they'd have to use a VIP signpost or run all the way out to the entrance of the entire zone. And they'll also be able to get directly to the Redeemed Citadel from the world map as well, which is probably a much bigger deal. So you don't have to go to the entrance of Avernus and drive across the whole zone to get to the Redeemed Citadel anymore."
