Sunspire: what we know so far

TheNightflame

I figured we could make a thread for everything we've heard or experienced in the new trial! I've unfortunately been unable to attend the open events where you can play the trial (if you have, post up some good info!) but have read and watched a few of the streams.

So far we know:

• it's a full trial with trash packs
• there are 3 bosses, each with a hardmode
• the 3rd boss hardmode requires the other 2 have been cleared on hardmode
• the other/first two can be a fire or ice dragon, you choose which to fight first
• in their hardmode, their abilities are augmented, and the final dragon/alkosh imposter hovers and adds some of his own mechanics to the fight
• the fire dragon stays grounded for the majority of the fight, while the ice dragon prefers flying around everywhere
• for a veteran clear, you get a skin with an ice body and fire extremities
• for a vet hardmode clear (+all other achievements?), you get a senche mount with that skin
• etc. etc.!

Add anything I've missed or that you know below! there's a surprising lack of trial mechanic knowledge while most people already know a lot of the new gear sets and all necromancer skills let's rectify this issue!

I wonder why the frost dragon doesn't help out the fire dragon even though he can see him getting killed from up there... Do they hate each other?

Possibly? I mean a lot of the time evil duos can't stand each other. I can't recall any examples rn, but I feel like that's an archetypical thing

bump for people at bethesda game days!
