NosTale Act 7 Part 2 – Storm the Celestial Spire Trailer

via media alert

Gameforge’s free-to-play online anime role-playing game NosTale today released its largest content update of the year — “Act 7 Part 2: Storm the Celestial Spire” which brings the latest chapter to a conclusion, where players prepare for the final battle to save the Orc tribe and the island of Moritius from annihilation. The new NosTale update not only features a new raid, a brand-new game mode, new items, and several quality-of-life improvements, but it also kicks off the start of this year’s NosTale Summer Event.

The NosTale: Act 7 Part 2 update includes the following:

The New Challenging Game Mode – The Celestial Spire: In this new solo mode players have to defend the Light Totem on every level against ever-increasing enemies, only supported during combat by their loyal NosMate pets. Upon entering the Celestial Spire, all buffs are removed, consumables cannot be used, and other players cannot teleport in. However, those who take on the challenge can customize their specialist cards, fairies, and equipment as they progress.

Rewards await those who emerge victorious! In addition to the usual gold and reputation, more precious items can be claimed at the new Celestial Shop including Celestial Spire Keys, raid seals, and the new pets that are even more combat-ready to face the Celestial Spire.

New Raid: Ascent into Darkness – The Assault of Lord Paimon: In the new 20-player raid atop of the Celestial Spire, the insidious Lord Paimon is breaking through from his hellish domain. A master of black magic and dark incantations, Belial’s master requires champion level 20 or higher and drops a raid box containing high-end gear, accessories, material, and Production Scrolls.

Demon King Paimon spreads a curse from the top of the Spire making monsters and pets stronger, but weakening humans and orcs who are protected only by the brilliance of the Light Totem as they travel up the Celestial Spire to stop him and his forces from entering the mortal realm.

New Pets – Introducing 6 New NosMates: Pets are not just cute companions in NosTale — they can also be partners that can help players out when they run into trouble, even as they take on the challenges lurking deep inside of the Celestial Spire. Each pet has its own abilities, such as increasing attack power or restoring HP and MP for players. Starting today, six new pets are available in the Celestial Shop, purchasable with in-game currency gained as players conquer different levels.

Tons of New Quests: With main quests, subquests, and daily quests combined, 60 more adventures are available! But that’s not all; five new Time-Space missions where the goal is to defeat the monsters await.

New Tattoos & Runic System Update: How about some new ink? The “Corrupt Shadow” tattoo template looks devilishly good on players while they take on all these new challenges. Additionally, the rune system now allows up to six abilities, meaning players can obtain more powerful effects for their gear.

Celestial Spire Live Stream: Join the NosTale team as they invite other players to witness their ascent within the Celestial Spire.

Community leaders from across the gaming landscape are coming together for a live-streamed, chat-driven Dungeons & Dragons adventure in an effort to fundraise for No Kid Hungry.

Four gaming personalities–led by a seasoned game master–will unravel the mysteries of an evil plot steeped in lemons (yes, lemons) in front of a live Twitch audience. Along the way, Twitch viewers can influence and change the direction of the adventure through votes and donations. How will the heroes react to aid from the audience? What if the audience spawns a pillaging pack of bugbears? What if the audience hides the lemons?!
