Angelace's Hellgate: London Blog

I am really looking forward to the upcoming in-game HGL event this Friday – Number of the Beast!

For the event, players will have to count the no. of beasts spawned. Take note that there will be many different types of monsters spawned so do brush up on your HGL knowledge ;)

The event consists of 2 parts:-

- 1st part is for players to count the no. of beasts spawned. First 2 players to submit the accurate answer will win a Heroic dye kit each.

- For those who miss out on the 1st section, do not fret! You can also play ‘Reporter’ of the event and post screenshots / coverage of the event. 1 Player with the best submission will walk away with a Heroic dye kit code.

Event Details
Type : [In-game Event] ‘Number of the Beast’
Date : 27th June 2008, Friday
Time : 7pm – 8 pm (GMT +8)
Location : In-game - Covent Garden Station

For easy reference, I have added an extract from a recent IAHGames’ Hellgate: London article listing different monster types. Read on below!

Examples of Beasts in Hellgate: London:-


Carnagors
The Carnagor is a giant beast. Heavily muscled, the Carnagor has huge tusks and hundreds of razor-sharp teeth and jagged spines protruding from its thick, scaly back. Driven by the insatiable taste for human flesh, the Carnagor is a relentless enemy.

Necros
This caste includes both the undead and the Demons that create and command them. Necros often swarm in semi-organized packs, using strength of numbers to overcome the limitations of their commonly weakened and decayed forms. Their masters are more powerful, and eliminating their commanding presence should be of the highest priority when encountering them. Creatures within the Necros caste commonly use attacks that pierce the flesh, poison the blood, and corrupt the soul.


Examples of Necros in Hellgate: London:-


Nightmare
These nightmarish demons are the twisted undead remains of those who were unfortunate enough to be slain in their sleep when the Hellgate opened. The bodies and faces of Nightmares are contorted, reflecting the state of their damned minds when the demons possessed them. With anguish to fuel their magical attacks, Nightmares are a frightening presence.



Grotesque
Stitched together from numerous corpses and chunks of decaying flesh, the Grotesque is truly an abomination filled with demonic maggots. When slain, grotesques invariably break down and spawn undead forms which rise from the remains, freed from their united servitude.

Spectral
Spectral Demons are visually the strangest and most shocking creatures encountered by the survivors of the Burn, and some even have hidden forms that can only be seen by adventurers with a means to peer into their unearthly realm. Their Spectral power sometimes manifests itself in our world as a form of electricity, and attacks based in similar energy spectrums have been found to be highly effective.


Examples of Spectral monsters in Hellgate: London:-


Shadow Husk
The Shadow Husk resembles a human face gruesomely attached by an elaborate spike to a misshapen demonic body. With rings in its arms and pins stabbing through its goat-like legs, the Shadow Husk remains in constant agony. Capable of shifting in-between the material and infernal planes, the Shadow Husk uses these shifting abilities to dispatch the unwary.


Spectral Fury
Spectral Furies are female apparitions that float on translucent squid-like tendrils of purple spectral energy. Their primary attack is a spray of spectral energy, which they reach into the air and pull down before launching from their outstretched arms.

Primus
Also called True Demons, The Primus are the organized beings that command the lesser castes and are the primary cause of the apocalypse. Mostly humanoid in form, they often use weapons and equipment in their vile pursuits, and some have even been seen using human-created technology, although they tend to favor devices of their own fabrication. Their intelligence, use of weaponry, and the ability to attack from both range or in hand-to-hand combat make them a dangerous and unpredictable enemy.

Examples of Primus in Hellgate: London

Minions
Minions are hulking, brutish creatures with a gruesome mouthful of razor-sharp teeth comprising their entire face. They employ demon-crafted weaponry that's grafted directly to the ends of their arms.


Darkspawn
The Darkspawn are an intelligent faction within the Primus caste of demons with an affinity for melding demonic magic with technology. They are insatiable in their search for the new and unknown and often roam the ruins of London for caches of technology. Humans unfortunate enough to cross their path and fall by their hand are in turn salvaged for their equipment.
