Release
In the last weeks, I focused my efforts on adding a new adamant difficulty. The latest update releases it to the live server. The difficulty is only accessible through a Cipher. You get a Cipher by completing a challenging level.

Adamant raids will get an additional obstacle. Every week a lesser and a higher obstacle is chosen.

New Difficulty Adamant
#
I want to introduce you to a new difficulty level. It is called Adamant and has more boss mechanics, than the Challenging difficulty. I spent the whole week finding a concept how to implement it. I had some ideas for boss mechanics but nothing for loot and rewards.
