Daybreak Games launched Castle Nektropos, the latest content update for EverQuest Legends, the newly reimagined version of the MMORPG EverQuest.
EverQuest II players are familiar with Nektropos Castle as a cursed ruin. Now EverQuest Legends, set roughly five centuries earlier, takes players back to when it all started.
In this haunting tale, a servant of the Everling household, worn down by years of abuse, has taken Lord Rikantus Everling’s prized enchanted sword and slain all seven Everling daughters. Lord Rikantus has gone mad and begun raising the dead. His estranged surviving son, Lord Ollix Everling, now asks players to help put the house to rest.
According to a press release, here’s what the update contains:
- Lake Nerius: A new open outdoor zone and the approach to the castle. Difficulty scales upward toward the canyon beneath.
- Nektropos Castle: An instanced group dungeon with roughly fifteen boss encounters and enemies at levels 46 to 65.
- Nektropos Undercroft: A hidden starting city beneath the castle, unknown to the Everlings living above it.
- Half Dark Elf: A new playable race, with the Undercroft as its starting city.
Here’s everything that’s coming to the game as part of the Halloween Event, from October 22 to November 3, 2026:
- A free Werewolf pet illusion in the in-game shop for the duration of the event.
- A Half Dark Elf themed quest in Lake Nerius that rewards a choice of pet illusion.
- New pet illusions in the Marketplace, including:
- Undead Frog
- Scarecrow
- Skeleton (Dark Bone, Ice Bone and Standard)
- Vampire Bat
- Spectre
- Gelatinous Cube
