Its high mobility and curiosity make it the perfect pioneer for creating colonies across the land, making them the most abundant creature of Eden.
Their eggs absorb stimuli from their surroundings, allowing them to adapt to the vagaries of any region. They become hyper-aggressive after reproducing and fiercely defend against any interlopers.
In every area you explore, a Crucible dominates the sky. These mysterious machines are relics of the ancients, awoken by the Steward upon your arrival.
In exchange for power and godhood, the Steward has tasked you with defending these bastions. Activating a Crucible creates a protective dome, giving you and your tribe a safe place to plan and regroup.
Sacrifice gathered materials into the Crucible to upgrade it and gain greater power. But beware – the Crucible must reboot, and the protective dome will disintegrate. The vicious hordes of Eden will sense your vulnerability and lay siege to your sanctuary!
The Crucibles’ power manifests in many ways – it does not leave you defenseless against the awaiting horde. Craft the Withering Turret for a tide-turning advantage.
The Withering Turret channels a concentrated beam of energy at its target, searing away the natural resilience of Eden’s creatures. The result is a window of opportunity for your tribe: against the weakened creature, weapons and other defenses are significantly more potent.
The Gorgon’s steps rock the earth beneath your feet. Place your turret and stand your ground.
For centuries, the sulfurous waters of Eden have eaten away the earth. Once a smooth plain, the Searing Coast is now a landscape replete with towering spires, sheer cliffs, and bubbling geysers.
Daring explorers can walk the beach before turning inward to the labyrinth, carved by the receding waters. Eden’s creatures have taken up residence here, lurking behind corners, ready to pounce on unsuspecting prey.
Fleeing your home, you have no choice, but to step through the portal. The world around you twists. The air goes dead and flat in a perfect, lightless vacuum. You know, immediately, you’re dying.
Then there is ground beneath your feet. A brilliant, alien sky. You suck in a breath and sulfurous fumes fill your lungs. All hope is lost…
A mysterious voice reverberates inside your mind. The Steward. It offers you life, and more than that, power. If you will fight for the ancient machines.
You will.
The power of the Crucibles transforms you, awakening you to your new world…
Scavenge ore, break crystal, and slay a fearsome beast. The Crucible accepts your offerings and forges a new weapon for your armory: the Slamhammer.
The two-handed Hammer weapons trade speed for raw power, and the Slamhammer is a heavy hitter. It specializes in cracking open the tough shells of your enemies, allowing other members of your tribe to strike with great effect.
The brawniest of creatures, Gorgons dominate the landscape.
Its specialized beak breaks the crunchy outer shells of the arthropoids, leaving not a trace behind. Once it has reached maturity, it buds into its Medusa forms to reproduce, forming great colonies throughout the lands of Eden.
The Gorgons’ roars echo through the Valley, a fierce challenge. Answering the call is not for the faint of heart.
