The Carnifex

The Carnifex: A New Terror Stalks the Graveyard

The graveyards of the estate are no longer just resting places for the fallen; they have become a hunting ground. A horrifying entity, known only as the Carnifex, now stalks these hallowed grounds, clad in the grim remnants of the deceased and driven by an insatiable hunger for lost souls. This formidable foe presents a unique challenge, emerging when the death toll rises, and demanding a prepared response.

Facing the Carnifex

The Carnifex’s arrival is tied to the mortality of your heroes. As more souls are lost, its presence grows stronger, drawing it out from the spectral mists of the graveyard. Much like other persistent threats, the Carnifex will only engage when you present a full party suited to its level. An Apprentice-tier Carnifex targets fledgling Level 1 heroes, while the Veteran version demands Level 3 adventurers, and the Champion seeks out seasoned Level 5 warriors. Failure to confront this abomination will result in severe consequences, locking down the Abbey’s facilities until it is vanquished, mirroring the dire implications of other estate-wide crises.

The Battle for Souls

Once the Carnifex reveals itself, a special quest will be issued within the Hamlet, leading you directly to its lair in the graveyard. Victory in this brutal encounter will yield powerful rewards and trigger the ‘From Beyond’ town event, signifying the release of tormented souls. Be warned: the Carnifex is a relentless adversary. Success hinges on your ability to strike its vulnerable rear ranks and brace for an unyielding battle from which escape is impossible.

Rewards of Bravery

Each time you manage to defeat the Carnifex, you will be granted one of its three unique trinkets, potent artifacts imbued with its dark power. Furthermore, the vanquishing of this creature liberates souls, triggering the ‘From Beyond’ town event. For those who overcome the ultimate incarnation of the Carnifex, an enhanced version of this event awaits, offering even greater boons.
