Grim Misadventure #189 - Fashion and Function

Grim Misadventures, if you know, you know. Last time, we started off the new year with an in-depth preview of potions customization. Today, we bring you a gathering of some of the glorious item art coming with Fangs of Asterkarn. These artifacts bring both fashion and function to the battlefield.

Note: as always, everything you are seeing today is in active development and subject to change. Nothing is set in stone until it is. Unless it is a Stonehand Behemoth. That one is set in stone.

Deathshriek

Portent of the End Times

Portent

Scion of Ruinous Crags

Stonehand Behemoth
This thing is so big and heavy, cannot possibly imagine anyone wielding it, much less two. Two would definitely be a bad idea for your back.

Like knowing what is coming up next for Grim Dawn? Check back on March 17th for the next Grim Misadventure!

No level requirements shown. How is Elon supposed to know if those items are adequate for his high level character?

I have a hunch the release date will be around June earliest considering they haven’t revealed the awakening items and changing affix posts

Ooh yes more shield stuff!

Ahahaha that’s too funny, sadly GD has no leaderboards so no top spot to pretend to hold to buff his ego :joy:

And those who want to enjoy the new modes and mechanics will have to have the complete game with all the dlcs, I think it’s fair, taking into account all the work they are doing on this new dlc, I liked the new weapons.

Two takeaways for me:

  1. Looks like we’re getting affix range previews on items? Nice QoL, lets you know whether you can expect an improvement on subsequent drops without having to open Grim Tools.
  1. That passthrough on Portent of the End Times is never making it to FoA release. Cause that has Chaos Upheaval Conduit synergy written all over it and we know how things went the last time Upheaval passthrough was a thing.

Also the art is beautiful. Was surprised to see Portent and Deathshriek being two handed, they look so chubby they’d fit as a 1h weapon XD

The items look great. I definitely have to play a Portent build.

I think they announced the expansion a bit too early (August 2023).
All this amazing content but the wait is becoming painful.
(We want it!!!)

No way in June, September the earliest. If I bet, I’d bet on the end of year, November/December
