Requiem: Bloodymare

As if the nightmares were not already terrifying enough, Requiem: Bloodymare have two new Possession Beasts joining gameplay.

The Giont and Rebria like to play. They don’t come out that often, so when they do, it’s always a fun time.

Possession Beasts are powerful beings that can take the most horrific of monsters and make it beg for its life… Until it has a mouth, that is.

Starting at level 23, players can take the Forgotten Relics quest and obtain their first Possession Beast at the end of the quest-chain. Another way to obtain a Possession Beast is by hunting monsters of level 40 and above.

Once a player’s Hardcore Gauge is full, he or she can call upon their Possession Beast (just like they would activate a skill) and use it inflict maximum damage on their enemies.

On Possession Beasts

Remnants of an ancient tribe, the Possession Beasts are rare and powerful creatures. Born from sealed relics, the Beasts are the lasting heritage of the Khun, a human-beast hybrid tribe from southeast Parness. Taming the beast sealed within the relics, Temperions can summon forth the great power of these beasts. With the brawling Giont and the intelligent Rebria, Temperions can temporarily enhance their own fighting abilities with the beast’s skills. Most fighters prefer the Giont’s skill, feeling their own strength and power swell into crushing blows. The caster classes stay more towards Rebria, preferring to use their wits to freeze enemies at a distance. As more of Ethergia is explored, who knows what other beast relics lay in wait, patiently waiting for a new owner to tame them and bring them to bear against their foes.

Giont

Like an angry god of fire, Giont bursts forth with a fury and rage, crushing enemies beneath his mighty fists. With a primal scream and a wreath of flame, Giont rains blow after blow down upon hapless foes. Sheathed in Bloody armor, Giont is the master of melee combat, preferring to take the fight to his enemies up close and personal. With his Rigorous Punch, Giont smashes a single foe, but when the numbers are stacked against him, he can unleash the devastating Annihilator’s Hammer, rupturing the very ground they stand upon. As he grows in power, Giont’s attacks become more formidable and with new skills bestowed upon him from his armor, such as Heart Hunter and Cranium Strike, Giont is truly a beast in all forms of the word.

 

 

Rebria

The Possession Beast Rebria is a powerful caster type beast. Rebria has an array of instantly cast skills like Bubble of Hell which seals your target in a bubble of magic reducing its movement speed and inflicting magic damage. Instant Cast skills allow the character to cast while on the move through the mobs of nightmarish creatures you will face in Requiem. As with other caster type characters they can learn various powerful skills for devastating your targets at a distance; skills such as Globe of Glacial Coldness which will rip through the air generating a glacial flow closing up to a 30 meter gap between you and your frozen foe. Rebria can also learn skills for making an entire party more effective such as Protection of the Goddess which will increase your entire parties Health Recovery rate, and an array of different Passive skills which affect your Rebria at all times making the beast stronger without the need to use a litany of skills before going into combat. Rebria can also wear dazzling blue sea armor on the Rebria’s own unique equipment panel each piece of armor granting the Rebria a new skill only available by equipping these special possession beast armors found only on the most nightmarish of monsters in Ethergia.

Today we've got the rundown on the Kruxena, the third race in the thriller Requiem: Bloodymare that today began pre-launch celebrations including special registration packages. The Kruxena were created as a race of humanoid weapons, and are renowned for their abilities to get the job done. Be forewarned, they are brutal and cold-hearted and they have no qualms sacrificing an ally to reach their goal.

Be careful if you are allies, you may be next.

Here is some information about the Kruxena and 12 screenshots!

Gravity Interactive, Inc., leading global developer and publisher of a wide variety of online games, has announced June 16, 2008 as the commercial launch date for Requiem: Bloodymare. The game, designed for mature audiences, will immerse you in a dark world of bloodshed devastated by generations of scientific and magical abuse. You'll need to fight against the grotesque monsters that stalk the cursed land, and band together with your allies to survive against the stronger, bloodthirsty creatures that only prowl at night. Use a wide selection of weapons and the mysterious powers of Beast Possession to strike down your enemies and destroy evil. Requiem: Bloodymare offers a refreshingly new approach to the MMOPRG genre with its grim, dark atmosphere and tense, blood splattering action.

We've got a first look at the Bartuks, one of the three races found in the upcoming thriller Requiem: Bloodymare. Bartuks believe in family, honor and the daily spilling of their enemies blood. If you see a Bartuk warrior on the prairie, sword in hand, his eyes targeting a monstrous shape many times his size, rejoice. You're witnessing the Great Race for whom the word "fear" has no meaning.

You can find an outline of the Bartuk race and 12 screenshots below!

Just in from Requiem Bloodymare... a new race has been revealed: The Turan. Honorable and virtuous, the Turan Race possesses cunning, speed and agility and in the nightmarish world of Requiem Bloodymare they'll need all of those attributes to do battle with some of the most horrifying creatures known to man. No other race fights its foes with such determination and dedication as the Turan, and, as the developers have said...

It takes courage to be human in a world filled with monsters.

Click the thumbnails below to pay tribute and bear witness to the Turan's prowess in these gameplay screenshots and read on for all the details on this noble race:

The TURAN

Gameplay Screenshots

Strength: Balanced strength, agility, and intelligence.

Weakness: Low resistance against magic.

Characteristics: Turans are the most balanced race of Ethergia, and although they don't have any distinctively outstanding strengths, they are renowned for their tenacity and solidarity. They are a rational race that upholds justice, preferring balanced and harmonized combat styles, quick movements, and agility over the use of brute force. They are also adept at learning the other races' abilities, adapting the divine magic of the Xenoas for their own use.

Combat Style: Turans are average, in terms of strength and spirit, but they excel in agility, learning, and intelligence. These qualities enable them to learn and utilize a great variety of skills. They are a highly moral race, so Turans tend to use humane skills that do not unnecessarily torture their enemies in battle.

Relationship with Other Races: The Turan and Bartuk races utilized fighting styles dependent on skills based on physical strength early in their histories. However, the Turans eventually began to also develop a more balanced combat style with moves that combine strength, agility and quick thinking since the Bartuks were physically stronger. During the era of the Xenon Empire, many Turans studied divine magic and became adepts. They are naturally opposed to the dark magic wielding Kruxenas, and are vulnerable to their magic attacks.

In Ethegia, technology runs amok. It powers the muscles and minds of horrific monsters. It gives life to the mighty Temperions, endowing them with the strength of giants and a thirst for battle.

However, in a world ravaged by unbridled genetic experimentation, wars and famine, technology is just not enough. To face the nightmare – and survive it – Temperions need not only the best weapons in the land, but a strong party of like-minded individuals.

Though technology molds every Temperion into relentless war machines, it's their fighting spirit that makes them unbeatable.
