This blog is out of date. Please read the latest version of the blog by clicking here.





Further west than you've ever ventured, found at the heart of the volcanic village of Brimstone, lies The Inferno .



Do you have what it takes to defeat TzKal-Zuk?







In early 2016 we polled The Inferno. Falling just shy of the 75% threshold as a small expansion to the Fight Cave, we saw an influx of requests to make The Inferno a bigger, better, standalone piece of content.



Today's developer blog proposes exactly that. A relocated, expanded and truly standalone solo PvM challenge.







Brimstone





The Inferno



A Kahlith form of TzTok-Jad.
