[h3]New Region: Brigga[/h3]
A new region is now available. Brigga is a barren and hostile land to the south of Ludern, where the Elite Trackers have gathered to face a legendary threat. Their target is the Beast, a cursed creature that resurfaces every few years and poses a danger to the Five Kingdoms. Their goal is to stop it before it can reach other lands.



[h3]Beast Tracking Gameplay[/h3]
To support the Trackers, you will explore Brigga in search of clues that reveal the Beast’s hidden lair. Once found, you can strike when it is most vulnerable. During the hunt, you can earn bonuses that will help you in combat against the Beast and the Ghost Pack enemies. The Beast is not confined to one place and may appear throughout the region at any time.



[h3]Beast Influence[/h3]
The Beast has a disturbing effect on animals in your troop, they may come under its influence and transform into Ghost Pack monsters. Once this happens, there is no way to get them back. Keeping your animals safe from this influence is part of the challenge in Brigga. Perhaps you could find a cure…



[h3]The Heralds[/h3]
Some animals that have remained close to the Beast for too long have turned into powerful, mutated enemies called the Heralds. You will need to locate and eliminate the three of them with the help of the Elite Trackers in order to weaken the Beast.



[h3]The Beast Fight[/h3]
The final battle against the Beast will test the full strength of your troop. This is a major encounter, similar in scale to the fight against the Sea Serpent found in the Pirates of Belerion DLC. If you succeed, you will gain access to new crafting materials used to forge new weapons. This new set of weaponry is available for all classes and introduces a new gameplay mechanic known as the Mark of the Beast.
This new boss will return in the future, and when it does, the Trackers will need your help once again.

Wartales’ latest DLC will offer a story-driven experience in which you will get the opportunity to track down one of the most dangerous creatures of the world: The Beast.

In order to immerse your mercenaries into a proper hunt step by step in a new region, our team had to come up with a dedicated gameplay experience.

Additionally, and thanks to your extensive feedback received during our latest survey in early January, we identified that the new animal unit we introduced had a difficult time finding a good spot among your mercenaries.

This is where the new Huntsman profession comes in: there is an opportunity for us to strengthen an aspect of the Wartales experience. It makes sense for this DLC, and because the new profession will be available to all, it will offer new opportunities to those of you who want to rely on animals.


[h3]Where can we learn it?[/h3]
You can discover the Huntsman job by interacting with new elements in the worldmap that have a glowing red paw above them. These are traces left by animals. You can also learn it in The Beast Hunt DLC where the Master Trappers will teach you all about hunting The Beast.

[h3]How does it work?[/h3]
While wandering in the regions of Wartales, players will come across traces such as paw marks, animal remains, destroyed camps and many others…
Your band of mercenaries will then follow those clues, to ultimately lead to a fight against animals.
During those fights, your party will face dangerous and powerful versions of already existing animals from Wartales.

As usual, different proficiency levels are available for this new profession:

• Novice: The troop earns more loot after a battle against a group of animals
  
• Apprentice: Animals in the troop earn more experience
  
• Journeyman: Reduces animals’ daily food consumption
  
• Master: Has a chance to find loot when examining a trace

Huntsman earn XP by:

• Capturing animals
  
• Using the Hunting Gear
  
• Examining traces

But the most interesting aspect for any dedicated Wartales player is that those events are a great opportunity to capture more dangerous animals than the ones you have crossed paths with so far. We named them “Fierce Animals” and we hope that they will offer more diversity in terms of group composition and tactics.

Fierce Animals will boast a better health pool, stronger attacking power as well as the ability to equip two different accessories.



The huntsman can also craft a new camp tool: the Hunting Gear
The blueprint can be purchased from the Trackers for 50 fangs (in any tracker’s camp in the world) and is a good way to generate fangs and food passively during sleep, if a Mercenary is assigned to the Hunting Gear.

New Camp Tool:

[h3]Greetings Mercenaries,

We are delighted to reveal that our next DLC The Beast Hunt is set to release later this month.[/h3]



A monstrous force of nature haunts the deadly region of Brigga, leaving only ruin in its wake. Its presence twists the land, warping animals into ruthless ghost packs, drawn to anything that moves. For generations, the Trackers have fought to contain the curse. But this time… they need you.
Hunt the Beast through the mist-laden valleys of Brigga, unravel the truth behind its cursed existence and follow its trail into its den.



Fierce Animal units as well as the new Huntsman profession will be available to all Wartales players in a free update. We will showcase the new content in our next Steam blog post.

In the meantime, you can wishlist The Beast Hunt to let us know if you’re interested in the next DLC!
