Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr
This update is comprised of two major features: a new large-scale encounter—the Bozjan southern front, and an update to further augment the Resistance weapons.
Bozjan Southern Front
(02:09:27)
The Save the Queen: Blades of Gunnhildr quests will take place in the Bozjan southern front, which has been designed so that it can be enjoyed even after completing the quests. The Bozjan southern front involves some unique rules, so be sure to check out the images above!
A Disciple of War or Magic at level 71 or above is required to enter the Bozjan southern front, where you’ll be able to earn experience points and level up your jobs. We haven’t implemented leveling content like Deep Dungeon in Shadowbringers as the resources for that were allocated to this.
Skirmishes are battles that occur frequently in various parts of the battlefield. Critical Engagements are a newly developed battle system, in which only a limited number of players can participate in an intense battle, comparable to those in dungeons and raids. Critical Engagements feature an element where one player is selected for a one-on-one battle against an enemy.
The player who did exceptionally well in the Critical Engagement immediately prior will be requested to deploy for the one-on-one battle (you can also choose to not participate). If multiple players are requested to deploy, one of them will be selected at random. These one-on-one battles require skillfully using Lost Actions in reaction to enemy movements and can be quite tough.
The goal of the Bozjan southern front is to storm the Imperial base. Invading the base is also a Critical Engagement, one that we put a large amount of effort into. The scene in the trailer where the Warrior of Light is climbing a ladder is from this battle.
Well-planned usage of Lost Actions, which are unique to the Bozjan southern front, allow you to influence battles in your favor.
We showed gameplay of the overworld and UI, which you can see in the video.
We put a lot of effort into the Bozjan southern front, so we hope you’ll enjoy it. You’ll also be able to enjoy bits of lore detailing the fascinating NPCs you’ll encounter on the battlefield.
Resistance Weapons Updates
(02:52:29)
We recommend accepting the quest to begin augmenting the Resistance weapons after you unlock the Bozjan southern front, since both can be progressed simultaneously. The items required for augmentations can be found both in and outside of the Bozjan southern front, so you can choose how you want to collect them.
