Dungeons: Howling Peaks

This page describes content that is a part of the Howling Peaks DLC.

TREK TO THE TOP — A strange power takes hold atop the perilous peaks, and a brave hero must rise to the summit to defeat it. The trek to the top has bold highs and lows, from dazzling new armour, weapons, and artifacts to vicious new foes. At the center of the storm is the Tempest Golem, which must be stopped to hush the howling winds.
