To traverse the Crystal Desert, players will need to gain access to a series of mounts. On top of that, the environment itself consists of large maps with relatively few fast travel destinations. However, players will now have to deal with the consequences of that decision. Players of the Nightfall expansion may remember freeing Palawa Joko from imprisonment as part of a desperate bargain in the struggle to prevent the return of Abaddon, the god of secrets. For much of the previous 250 years, this undead necromancer has ruled the region with his army of Awakened. These enemies are made of metal and fire - and players will definitely want to bring plenty of condition removal skills to handle their burning damage.Īs if dragons and gods weren't enough of a threat, Elona is currently ruled by returning Guild Wars character Palawa Joko. A rogue human god of war and fire, he has brought an army of minions called The Forged into Elona. The primary threat in the Crystal Desert, at least in the early portion of the expansion, is Balthazar. The dragon himself is not yet confirmed, but based on the story of Living World Season 3, it seems likely that players will encounter him as well.
The Branded - minions of Kralkatorrik - are a confirmed danger in this region. Players can expect to find a mix of new and familiar enemies in the Crystal Desert region. On top of that, much of the campaign for Guild Wars Nightfall and the deaths of Glint and Snaff at the hands of the elder dragon Kralkatorrik happened here.
Many significant events in the history of the game world took place in this desert, including the ascension trials to receive the blessing of the gods in the original Guild Wars. Instead, the Crystal Desert is part of Elona. Though the edges of the desert reach the borders of familiar game regions like Ascalon and Orr, it is not on Tyria. The Crystal Desert is the first region to be introduced in Guild Wars 2 that is not on the same continent as the other regions in the game.
