Dungeon Fighter Online launches Act XIV Posted: 31 Oct 2011 03:43 PM PDT The first part of Act XIV, Delezie’s Nightmare, is now live for players of Dungeon Fighter Online. The update introduces two new Ancient Dungeons, Ghost Train and Reshpon, Village of Pain, where two new dangerous and twisted bosses live. The Emblem System makes its debut to allow players to turn in emblems, found in dungeons or purchased from Daphne, into stat or skill boosts into their equipment. The Heaven Party will also let lower level players obtain rare and exceptional equipment – if they’re lucky enough to find the vendor in the dungeons. Dungeon Fighter Online is published by Nexon, which also publishes MapleStory and Dragon Nest. Dungeon Fighter Online: Act XIV Screenshots: Source: The Ghost Train Has Arrived Two new Ancient Dungeons, Emblem System and Heaven Party now available in Dungeon Fighter Online, Halloween events now live Halloween is serious business for Dungeon Fighter Online, the arcade-style massively multiplayer online game from Nexon. Act XIV: Delezie's Nightmare Part 1 is the latest update to hit the game, giving players access to two new Ancient Dungeons, the Emblem System, and the Heaven Party, which gives lower level players an opportunity to try on some serious high-end weaponry. Players can now face an army of never-before-seen monsters in the Ghost Train dungeon, which is inhabited by ghosts looking to claim the souls of brave Dungeon Fighters. The hellish domain serves as home to the boss Pandemos Floo, a fearsome creature tied to a Seal of Destruction. Players can also explore Reshpon, Village of Pain, where a whole new militia of demons greet players to capture their souls. It is here that Dungeon Fighters will face Delezie the Plagued Apostle, a legendary boss who claims Reshpon as his eminent domain. But players be warned: Delezie's prime attack is a toxin that spews from his body, deforming its enemies. If Dungeon Fighters are blessed enough from the high heavens to defeat this terrifying foe, myriad rewards will be bestowed upon them. The Act XIV update also allows players to boost their character's stats with the Emblem System. The emblems can be found as drops in various dungeons or purchased from NPC Daphne. Emblems range from iron grade to platinum, depending on how much of a stat or skill boost it will give to an avatar. Players can also boost their stats by obtaining Sacred weapons from Heaven Party, a new feature which allows Dungeon Fighters to acquire various rare and untradeable weapons normally reserved for higher level players. Since the Heaven Party appears randomly in selected dungeons, players questing solo or with a party will have to be at the right place at the right time to get their hands on some exceptional weapons Sacred weapons from Heaven Party can also be disassembled for materials which can then be used to purchase a class and level appropriate Heavenly Weapon Pot.
