Latest Neverwinter Update Opens a New Area to Explore

Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studios have announced that the latest Neverwinter update has been deployed for PC players. Called Scaleblight Mythal, the patch opens an entirely new location, Scaleblight Summit, new rewards, the conclusion of the Dragon Vale storyline, the Scales to Bones battle against an ancient Red Dragon, and much more. Xbox and PlayStation players will be able to take part in the action starting March 1, 2022.

Features include:

  • Dragonbone Vale Adventure Zone & Campaign – In this new adventure zone, Heroes of Neverwinter set out from the encampment of the four allied factions and work their way through four distinct regions of the Sword Mountains: Whetstone Thicket, Quellwater Tarn, Wyrmbone Marrows, and Scaleblight Summit. The adventure zone includes the following unique features:
    • Grappling Hook Mechanics – For the first time ever in Neverwinter you can grapple around specific, designated spots of the Dragonbone Vale adventure zone with a grappling hook, allowing vertical exploration and new ways to travel the zone. These mechanics won’t be available in other zones outside of Dragonbone Vale at this time.
    • Faction Reputation System: By completing faction-specific quests, such as heroic encounters, defending supply lines, gathering dragonsight treasures, and more, players can build reputation with each of the four factions, which they can use to unlock various rewards and features, including faction cosmetics, companion gear, and more.
    • No Item Level Restrictions for February – For the whole month of February, there are no item-level restrictions to enter the new adventure zone, so all players of any item level can enter the zone and enjoy all of its content.
  • The Crown of Keldegonn Trial – A new 10-player trial where heroes confront Valindra and the dracolich Palhavorithyn atop the dwarven ruins of Keldegonn.
    • There are two difficulty modes for the trial: Master and Standard.
      • Master: The trial in its natural form and difficulty. It is intended to push you to the extreme and will demand you bring equipment suitable for the challenge. The Master version is available now for all players.
      • Standard: While certainly no pushover, this version is for those who want a less challenging fight against Valindra and the dracolich Palhavorithyn in the trial. This version will be available on February 18.
    • Scaleblight Mythal (Epic Adventure) – The story’s culmination in Sword Mountain’s Scaleblight Summit region. Members of the Shield of the North Alliance assault the location of the great ritual and fight to stop Valindra and the Cult of the Dragon from invoking the Rite of the Dracolich to bring undeath to all dragons. The content is now available for PC adventurers, and console adventurers will have access to it on March 1.
    • Enchantment and Refinement Overhaul – This update brings quality of life improvements to the refinement system and all-new enchantments.
