It can be considered as a "bug": game has a plenty of unused/not added Hero monsters, especially in North act5. It is really ridiculous to go over huge act and face only couple of heroes along a way. Game would gain a lot of extra interest if more will be added and frequently spotted.
Just few examples:
Hyndla (Jarnvidja Hero Witch),
Lord Hyrr, Logi (both Fire Eldjotun Giants),
Narphi (Jotun Giant);
Fornjot (Rimthurs hero);
Managarm, Vali (ulfjotuns);
dvergrs: Gandinn, Skirver;
Hjordrimul, Eir (Valkyries);
Lord Thurbald the Elder - Draug hero;
Starspawn, Deep One (Giant Fire Salamanders);
Grabak the Firstborn - Dragonspawn hero;
raven warriors heroes: Ingeborg, Novinn;
and many more etc.

Almost a year since the last update. Any chance for a patch?

Golden Scarab - Supposed to be invincible? I wailed on this bug for over an hour and a half and all it did when near death was heal itself. Given the area it's in and my character level, this should not be such a difficult task. I kill bosses with SOME difficulty, but not like this! Near impossible

[Sugarpuss]

I think I killed one once but I'm not sure

👍😃

After the intro videos, I get a black screen. The cursor is a hand. The game itself does not start. It freezes and crashes. What should I do?

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Try excluding the game from being checked by any anti-virus programmes you have. Also verify the game files and make sure all your drivers are up to date.

Llevo toda la tarde jugando y parece injugable, tiene pinta de que es un juegazo pero se me quitan las ganas de jugar por haber pagado por un juego que va como la mierda. hay bugs sobre todo con los bichos que hay que matar y así una no puede jugar tranquila. He actualizado hasta los drivers. He estado más tiempo entrando y saliendo que otra cosa.
