Guild Wars 2: The Icebrood Saga’s finale continues next week with ‘Power’

The next chapter in The Icebrood Saga's epic finale drops next week

The multi-part finale of Guild Wars 2: The Icebrood Saga continues next week with Episode Five, Chapter Two. Titled ‘Power’, the free MMORPG’s first content drop of 2021 will see “fire and furious apocalypse” head to Tyria, which means not only a threat of wide-scale destruction, but a new phase in the saga’s storyline, missions, rewards, and more.

‘Power’ will bring four new Dragon Response missions – solo or group quests that see you shore up key locations by fending off dragon minions -to Thunderhead Peaks, Fields of Ruin, Lake Doric, and Snowden Drifts. These missions will include options to dial the challenge up if you fancy tackling something even trickier, ArenaNet explains in a press release, and you’ll be in for greater rewards if you do (and survive to tell the tale, of course).

Additionally, the new chapter brings a new allied faction – the Deldrimor Dwarves – who you can recruit as part of a new global faction mobilisation event. The battle-hardened dwarves will be able to help out with your Drago Response missions, bringing “stony tenacity and alchemical skills” to the table. Plus, another mysterious faction will hit the game on February 16, along with some new upgrades for your Dragon Slayer weapons.

As for new rewards. ‘Power’ ushers in goodies like the Deldrimor Stoneskin Infusion “(no rites required)”, additional battle benefits and items from allied faction vendors which arrive via the Dragon Slayer mastery line, as well as others.
