Soulmask 1.0 Patch #17 'Beyond Gravity': Burning Highlands, new masks, bosses
Soulmask's 1.0 Patch #17, Beyond Gravity, is here, and it's a substantial one: a new region, three new masks, multiple bosses, and a required client update. Make sure to update your game client before continuing to play normally.
Burning Highlands and new ruins
The headline addition is the Burning Highlands, a new area within Shifting Sands. It brings an Ancient Dungeon, Holy Ruins, Pyramid Ruins with a Ruins Dungeon, Floating Island Ruins, and a separate Ruins Dungeon added to the Star Plain Pyramid. A new boss, Central Core, also arrives at Floating Island.
New masks and loot sources
Three new masks join the game: Enforcer, Shadow Hunter, and Ruler of the Barren Sands. Their drop sources are:
- Ruler of the Barren Sands Mask — Star Plain Pyramid
- Shadow Hunter Mask — Burning Highlands Pyramid
- Restrictive Module (Ruler of the Barren Sands) — Blackstone Cliff Ruins Dungeon
- Restrictive Module (Shadow Hunter) — Burning Highlands Holy Ruins
- Enforcer Mask and Restrictive Module (Enforcer) — Burning Highlands Holy Ruins
Three new Sand Bandit bosses also join the fight: Sand Bandit Shadow of Slaughter - Uncrowned, Sand Bandit King of Fiery Flames - Soulflamer, and Sand Bandit King of Fiery Flames - Bone Scorcher.
