The Rise of the Skeletons[/h3]
A new update has been brewed for this
especially wicked season.
A new isle has appeared! Are you ready to explore and uncover its secrets? We've also added a bevy of
combat tweaks,
sound, and other
general adjustments.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]
Summonisle[/h3]
Find the new haunting island by journeying south of
Hallowshire! Uncover a rickety graveyard and fight the decrepit old souls that still lurk there. You may also happen across a way to
summon your own calcium-rich companions to fight by your side. After all, there's safety in numbers, and what better way to accomplish that than with the
undead?
