The farther from the Crystal, the harder — and harder does not just mean more health: it means a creature that demands an answer you did not have yet. And each one warns you before it strikes, in its own way.
The first ring, around the Crystal. There is no PvP and no building there, and nearly everything is wildlife — but wildlife that teaches.
Brute · Neutral · Small
A short lunge that hurts like a bite and a half. Once wounded, it flees in a zigzag.
Warning sign: The wind-up bar — the first one you see in the game, on a creature that cannot kill you.
Drops: Hare pelt and horn
Plant · Earth · Small
Once wounded, it digs into the ground and heals while standing still. Fire tears it out of the earth — and deals double damage.
Warning sign: The soil churns at its feet when it digs in, and a green light rises with every heal.
Drops: Wood and red herb — it is where the first axe comes from, and the axe is what cuts down trees
Brute · Neutral · Large
Bolts in a straight line, hits for double and knocks you back. If it slams into a tree or rock on the way, it is stunned. Wounded, it flies into a rage.
Warning sign: It paws the ground for a second, and a line appears on the ground: that is its path. Get off it.
Drops: Hide and tusk
Brute · Earth · Medium
Vanishes underground, where nothing can hit it, and comes back up in a strike from below that stuns. It cannot dig into hard ground: it pops out at the edge, dazed.
Warning sign: A trail of dirt shows where it is going, and a circle shakes under whoever is standing still.
Drops: Pelt and claw
Brute · Wind · Medium
Up high, only arrows and magic can reach it. It comes down in a dive that hits for double and then stays landed — and then it is anyone’s.
Warning sign: Its shadow on the ground, closing in before the dive.
Drops: Feathers and beak
Brute · Earth · Medium
Becomes a ball: slashing and piercing barely get through, only blunt weapons and magic land in full. And its tail sweep punishes anyone crowding around it.
Warning sign: An area marked on the ground around it, just before the sweep.
Drops: Shell plate and hide
In the caves, in any ring near the center, and in the forest, the second ring.
Brute · element of the region · Small
Bites small and often, and the bite leaves you bleeding. Every so often it winds up a bite that poisons.
Warning sign: The two-second wind-up of the venomous bite.
Drops: Filthy fur and tooth
Brute · element of the region · Medium
The Wolf is the hunter of the forest, but its own signature move is still being designed.
Drops: Fur and fang
In the fortresses of Hell, the last ring. Each one demands a different answer — and none of them is just hitting harder.
Never moves. Its Hungry Roots trap everyone within 12 m — and only fire breaks them.
Drops: The Heartwood of Yggdrasil, which grows in your backpack
Raises the dead: the Legion of the Fallen, which only truly takes damage from silver.
Drops: The Pharaoh’s Treasure — cursed
Silences whoever he hits — only a Mage can give their voice back — and steals 12% of your gold with every blow. Whoever brings him down gets the stolen gold back.
Drops: The gold he stole
The only one who leaves his fortress: he marches on the Crystal. Only Provoke holds him back.
Drops: Satan’s Horn
The bosses awaken when someone approaches their fortress — the whole map hears about it — and return half an hour after they fall.
The evil plant, the undead, the vampire and the demon already roam the taken lands, but still with placeholder bodies. Against them, silver weapons deal 60% more.
Each ring, from the second to the tenth, will get its own wildlife — always with a new move, never just more health.
