Other seasons are already in the works, regularly bringing new content, challenges and rewards for Slayers to enjoy.
The highlight of this update is the arrival of a new Behemoth, Karkonoscreated in collaboration with the community Dauntless. This epic battle takes place in the dark hunting grounds of Twilight's Domain, where players can harvest materials to craft the coveted armor Brineguard Armour Set.
Dauntless: Awakening also introduces 18 new weaponsseven of which can be unlocked through initial quests, including theSilver Sword and the Golden Claws.
