Sker Ritual Episode Three: Sewers of the Dead OUT NOW

The wait is over Sker Islanders, Sker Ritual's Episode Three: Sewers of the Dead is OUT NOW! Descend into the Sewers of the Dead, the Sker Island underground lair and home of The Stranger!

[h3]EXPLORE THE BRAND-NEW MAP [/h3]

Delve into the Sewers of the Dead, the Sker Island underground lair and home of The Stranger. Navigate through tunnels of infestation where the Quiet Ones are not your only enemy. Watch where you step as The Stranger's swarm of rats are under the control of his glaring eyes.



[h3] FACE CHALLENGING NEW ENEMIES [/h3]

GUTO (Elite Enemy #1)

Run, run as fast as you can because in a flash the Guto will be upon you. These agile elites dash at alarming speed and in unpredictable directions, making every twist and turn through the dank underground a possible threat.



DEMON HAG (Elite Enemy #2)

Now she’s here...now she’s not...beware the teleporting Demon Hag and her searing laser beams that shoot out from her gruesome, green eyes. Rising from the dirt and murk, this elite is a deadly combination of the Witch and the Mariner.



[h3]NEW OBJECTIVES [/h3]

Unlock areas of the map with the help of a mind-controlled Quiet One. Escort the lumbering enemy turned ally safely and be sure to keep feeding it points if you want it to walk faster. Plus, send Quiet Ones into a spin! Set in the gory, gorged-out chests of Quiet Ones, shoot the rat in the hamster wheel to get them going.



[h3]NEW WEAPONS [/h3]

THE PLAGUE - Special Weapon



The Plague, Sker Ritual’s answer to Pest Control. Discharge bombs with this multi-grenade launcher that releases plumes of purple gas. Damage enemies and objects alike to progress your objectives.

PIONEER’S AXE

[h3]BEAT THE NEW BOSS [/h3]

Find yourself transported into the warped mind of The Stranger. Avoid the sight of his relentless scanning eyes, but don’t get caught or be prepared to face swarms of rodents whilst still combatting waves of Quiet Ones.
