Prison of Elder is Destiny's Greatest New PvE Feature

Prison of Elders makes up for House of Wolves lack of a new raid and becomes Destiny’s greatest feature

The second expansion for Bungie’s newest FPS Destiny, the House of Wolves, has finally launched opening up the reef as a new social hub and introducing a mountain of new activities. House of Wolves has everything Destiny fans could have asked for including a fantastic set of new voice actors and music. What’s noticeably missing is the same thing that fans were upset about when the expansion was first announced, a new raid. Instead of offering a new dungeon style raid for players to conquer Bungie introduced something different.

Called of the Prison of Elders it’s a special section of the Reef only available to players who have completed the House of Wolves storyline. At first players will only be able to access a level 30 area where they will fight through five different arenas. Facing off against all of Destiny’s different enemies.They will have to fight their way through 3 waves while also dealing with special challenges throw in during the middle of the fight. Each arena is more challenging then the last culminating in a special boss fight. It can be every bit as challenging as a raid but waits at the end is better than anything gamers could have hoped for.

Guardians who complete the Prison of Elders challenge will gain access to a Duck Tales style treasure room filled to the gills with gold. The gold isn’t the big reward the Prison of Elders has to offer though, instead at its heart is a massive treasure chest that can only be opened with a special treasure key.

Those keys can be obtained by defeating House of Wolves fallen on patrol. Opening that chest will land players massive rewards of exotic and legendary weapons and gear. During my first run in the Prison of Elders I nabbed a Gallahorn, Hawkmoon, and a new legendary machine gun called the Bane of Wolves.

That is what makes the Prison of Elders such a powerful new feature for Destiny. Where in the past raids could land you nothing but a shader this special treasure room offers the chance at much bigger rewards. Yet you have to conquer the House of Wolves on patrol, hopefully finding a key, before fighting your way through the Prison of Elders challenges. It makes you work ever bit as hard for those rewards as a raid but promises something better.

Also unlike the raids which only offered a normal and hard difficulty the Prison of Elders has multiple different levels. After finishing the level 30 section players can move on to a level 32 section of the prison facing all new challenges. That unlocks a level 34 section and then finally a level 35 level against the House of Wolves main villain.

All of those different sections offer a variety of challenges and experiences that a raid simply can’t, mixed with the promise of huge riches at the end. Prison of Elders is now the frontrunner for Destiny’s greatest feature in PvE at least. Multiplayer fans are sure to claim that the Trials of Osiris is just as deserving of the title.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
