The abandoned manufactory at the top of the haunted mountain is waiting for you! Discover your destiny inside and find a new power that will help you challenge stronger foes. Or maybe you want to settle down for the time being, inviting many to build your lively community. Improve your arsenal with steel weapons and armor, and with rare material hunted from fiends- creatures stronger than usual. All of this and more have now arrived in Chapter 4 Part 1. The first part of Chapter 4 introduces a major character growth milestone in the form of hybrids. At level 7 you can become a hybrid, combining two animal types and gaining access to the abilities from both. Outside of story mode, the NPC system in explore/multiplayer mode has been replaced with a system based on various roles and things each character wants to do or desires to have. NPCs will now gather, hunt, and trade with one another to gather material for crafting. Traders will buy finished items from all nearby NPCs and sell them in their shop. You can help things along by giving material to NPCs directly through supply boxes, or by buying and selling with them yourself.
