Don’t worry, though I won’t spoil anything you won’t see in the first 10 minutes or so of gameplay, but if you’re really a purist, you may want to come back to this article after you’ve had a chance to play the story for yourself.Įpisode 2’s story starts with a call from our new Norn friend Jhavi Jorasdottir. In order to give context for this boss, however, I will need to give you a few small spoilers from the beginning story instance. Shadow in the Ice brings with it an epic new world boss, which ArenaNet took special time to showcase for press ahead of time. If, however, you were hoping we would get to interact more with the polar bear-like Kodan, you will be happy to know that they play a relatively major role in this episode! ArenaNet also took this opportunity to spruce up some things in the original, eastern half of Bjora Marches, creating some new events and new achievements for the existing trio of strike missions as well as adding some Icebrood Saga mastery points to the prologue’s Grothmar Valley map. If you were hoping that this side of the mountain would be any less desolate or creepy, you will be disappointed.
