New monsters join the cast!
New threats emerge in the world of Atlas Fallen! With Reign of Sand, we aim to offer you a refined combat experience and unique challenges to overcome. A diverse range of enemies is crucial to convey a satisfying sense of progression and ensure a consistently fresh gameplay experience. So, let’s introduce some of our new Wraith Challengers!
It begins by unleashing powerful but slow attacks. Sounds easy to dodge, right? However, there’s a catch: each destroyed body part triggers an evolution in its combat pattern, granting new abilities that are significantly faster. This dynamic creates an evolving fight, forcing you to react strategically.

Weaver
Meet the Weaver - a small yet nasty parasitic Wraith. It performs a binding ritual to enhance its host’s power and spread the new Affliction status (available in NG+ only). Once the ritual is complete, it moves on to another host, starting the process anew. Despite its agility, the Weaver won’t attack unless provoked.

New Essence Stones

With Atlas Fallen, we’ve introduced a new way to play according to your preferences, featuring cool and unique abilities called Essence Stones. As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock, find, or craft these powerful stones, each granting you impactful gameplay modifiers or super-powered abilities.

Reign of Sand update introduces 25 new Essence Stones to further expand your combat arsenal. Let me showcase four of them :
Let’s start with Momentum Phoenix: A new Stone that summons a Tailwhipper. This creature flies toward your target, creating burning areas on the floor, damaging enemies, and generating momentum. It’s perfect for dealing with groups of wraiths, thanks to its impressive area-of-effect capability.
Healing Alliance is another new Stone that proves incredibly useful for both solo play and cooperative mode. It summons a friendly Mender, which follows and massively heals nearby damaged players for 15 seconds. Additionally, the Mender can sacrifice itself once to prevent your or your ally’s death. You’ll quickly grow fond of this little companion!
Some newly added Essence Stones are corrupted, making you more vulnerable to damage. However, they provide strong counterparts. Afflicted Overcharge is a simple yet super-effective ability. It conjures massive shockwaves around you, crystallizing all hit foes for an extended duration, immobilizing them while reducing their defense.
Unleash your inner wrath with Bestial Claws. This new Stone summons Marauder claws, allowing you to shred enemies with powerful slash attacks. You can even chain these attacks twice to perform combo maneuvers with increased damage.
