Ahoy everyone,
Funesto’s Forge grows restless–Lieutenant Funesto has returned from the dead! If you missed our last blog post about the mysterious Forge, you can catch up here: Developer Insider: Funesto's Forge
FEATURE: Lieutenant Funesto
Lieutenant Funesto, the loyal blacksmith of El Patron’s Crew, was the overseer of Funesto’s Forge. During Cicatriz’s mutiny against El Patron, Cicatriz had her men seal up the entrance to Funesto’s Forge, locking him and his underlings in the mines. Obsessed with collecting and making powerful weapons, Funesto worked his underlings to death mining for valuable ores in the cave, and eventually succumbed along with his crew.
But now, he has awoken! He will periodically materialize in a random location in the Forge, and carries powerful weapons on his person at all times! But be warned, pirates, if ye wish to send him packing back to the other side, ye best hurry–once he shows up, he won’t remain for long! If you’re lucky enough to find and defeat him, however, there is a high chance of finding a legendary weapon! Funesto will only show up on one ocean at a time, so keep yer eyes peeled and weapons readied if ye want a chance at finding him!
We have been hard at work bringing Funesto back from the dead, and we hope ye all share in our excitement for his return!
FEATURE: Ignis Maximus
Lt. Funesto’s magnum opus, Ignis Maximus, is the most powerful blade he ever forged, though he died shortly after making it. It’s unclear what happened to the blade after Funesto perished. Some say his ghost carries it at all times; others have claimed they’ve seen the more vengeful members of his crew carrying it too. Who knows what’s true? Hmmm… The blade also bears a very powerful weapon skill, Ignis Infernus. When used, it will summon a deadly red ball of fire to smite your foes from a great distance! Ignis is also equipped with Bloodfire, a powerful passive ability that will make the sword deal more damage as more enemies are defeated!
Conclusion
Anyways, pirates, we hope you enjoy this update! Beyond these new features, we also have plenty of bugfixes, tweaks, and adjustments across all areas of the game. Keep a weather eye on the horizon for more updates and announcements very soon!
Stay tuned.
