Nimruza – Queen of the Burrowed Sands
Before the rise of the Caveling empires, cicadas were the dominant species in the Underground. Their clash with the Cavelings led to a brutal war, leaving behind cicada husks and ruined settlements. Nimruza, the towering cicada queen infected by a parasitic force, now stands as a formidable foe in Core Keeper. Her story unfolds within the game, expanding the lore of the Cicada-Caveling War.
Nimruza is not just a typical boss; she represents a pivotal moment in Core Keeper’s narrative. The developers envisioned her as a massive corrupted cicada queen, showcasing her mechanical attack patterns that highlight her transformation into a malevolent entity.
Designing Nimruza
The development team at Pugstorm put considerable effort into making Nimruza distinct from other bosses in Core Keeper. Her corrupted nature is evident in her challenging and almost mechanical attacks, emphasizing her loss of natural instincts and transformation into a malevolent force.
Exploring the Oasis
The Bags & Blasts update introduces the Oasis, a new sub-biome in the Desert of Beginnings. Dive into this lush area, tackle Nimruza, face cicada hordes, and explore the dark energy within to defeat this massive insect boss in Core Keeper’s largest battle yet. Keep an eye out for the Drohmble, a charming camel-like creature in the Oasis that provides valuable resources for crafting new weaponry.
Explosive New Skills & Weapons
The Bags & Blasts update brings a brand-new Explosives skill tree to Core Keeper, offering powerful new ways to play. Engage enemies from a distance with Grenades, and experiment with unique bomb types like the Void Bomb and Blunder Bomb to create strategic approaches to tackle Core Keeper’s toughest challenges.
