Update 1.1 unlocks the last region in Kaifeng called the Roaring Sands. Together with the new region comes new main and side quests to progress the story of our hero.

New Bosses: River Master and Feng Ruzhi

The River Master

Feng Ruzhi

Two new bosses are being added to the game as part of the new region and questline: The River Master and Feng Ruzhi.

Feng Ruzhi is a new World Boss capable of unleashing swift attacks at both close and long range. Her new Silk Ball mechanic will keep you on your toes, as allowing it to be stolen can result in defeat.

The River Master presents a daunting challenge, as you will face not only the master himself but also his companion, the Dragon King. You must move quickly and dodge arena-wide mechanics to survive the onslaught.
