Together they decided to make contact with the Black Legion and form a resistance to the Aetherials. Some time later, Ulgrim sought out Inquisitor Creed. It was after this event that Ulgrim actually adopted this name instead of just the title of the First Blade. Apparently, Ulgrim did get the prince to safety, but has not shared any information regarding his whereabouts. After this, the Aetherial took over, and a battle ensued, from which Ulgrim emerged victorious. In a moment of lucidity, the Emperor ordered his First Blade to kill him and take his son to safety, as well as seek out Inquisitor Creed. In particular, the mutual animosity between him and Captain Somer remained even after the Grim Dawn.ĭespite all the mundane protections and magical wards shielding the Emperor of Erulan, he became a vessel for an Aetherial. Ulgrim is known to have made decisions not approved by officers of the Black Legion. While the First Blade's existence has not been secret, as it has been known to many Erulan citizens, bringing to light that the Emperor resorts to such methods could result in a 'personal meeting' with the First Blade. His new job as the Emperor's assassin and spymaster involved eliminating all kinds of threats to the Empire, from Arcanists to Occultists to Rovers to Nightblades of Erulan's noble houses. When Ulgrim became the First Blade, his former identity has been stricken from all records so that he could operate outside the boundaries of the law. 1.5 Loghorrean's summoning and Ulgrim's disappearance.You can see how the tokens work in this video of the dev stream - go 14 minutes in to see Zantai showing how they work. Either do the first Burial Hill quest to unlock the prison gates as usual - or, if you have the Crucible add on, you can go into that with your new character and access the transfer stash there, then exit back to the main character screen and change back to the Main Campaign. There are 2 ways you can access your transfer stash to get a token for a new character. As soon as you unlock the new quest content in the upcoming expansion you’ll be to go right over to a vendor and buy as many of these as you want for every single one of your characters that you’re going to roll.' And the answer to that is in the Forgotten Gods new quest hub. Now where do you get these tokens you might ask next. I will point out, if you look at my resistances, they are in fact altered by the difficulty scaling. You’re going to get all the attribute and skill points like I said and you’re going to need them because this stuff is way harder than what you’re used to. We’ve gone ahead and through Elite and Ultimate difficulties and updated these guys so they scale from one all the way up to max level. I would describe this as almost playing on players 8 in Diablo 2 back in the old days, but you’ll notice these enemies are actually scaled to my level. 'Now I will warn you that anyone who’s going to play like this? It’s going to be hard. And that means, if you go straight to Ultimate difficulty you will be able to get all 55 devotion points in one single playthrough.” In Forgotten Gods we are not only enabling every single shrine that is in the world on every difficulty in the game, we’re going to be adding new shrines to the world in places you haven’t before had shrines. “And that is the other thing that comes with these tokens. You will immediately get all of the inventory bags which you would have unlocked and you immediately get all of the riftgates on the lower difficulties.” And that means you immediately get access to new difficulties, you immediately get all of the attribute and skill point rewards that any quest on lower difficulties would have given you which means you don’t have to go back to Normal, you don’t have to go back to Elite, if you want to start on Ultimate you will immediately get those points. So I’ve got a Champion’s Merit that unlocks Elite and I’ve got the Saviour’s Merit that unlocks Ultimate. What they do is allow you to unlock higher difficulties on your new characters.

What are these items you might ask? They are Merits, similar to the Crucible, you now get to use these items in the main campaign. “In my inventory are two new items we’re going to be introducing with the Forgotten Gods expansion. So I’m reposting it here for easier access for new players. It was also in my transcription of said dev stream, but it’s buried in the really long Forgotten Gods What We Know So Far Part II thread so not easy to find. This information was never in any of the Grim Misadventures, only in the dev stream of 7th December 2018.
