Release of the new map
A world where danger lurks under every leaf. Where real heroes don’t only climb up but climb down too. Evolve, loot resources, and craft to conquer higher levels above the clouds. Why? To beat the most dangerous enemy, the spirit of the tree, and become one of the legendary Bean Stalkers.
We are truly excited that the third Stalk is available now as a free update. The Arctic level update adds even more content. From additional weapons and enemies to fresh puzzles, a new boss, a unique temperature system, and a completely new environment.
New environment
From the frozen waters to the northern lights, your quest will set again your aim towards the heights. The biggest addition comes in the form of a brand-new frozen environment complete with its own hostile climate and breathtaking arctic scenery.
The first thing you notice is the sound. The growling, the crashing, and the other noises would make any normal person freeze with fear. You don’t know what’s out there, but you’re sure it can’t be good. That feeling of dread washes over you as your fingers tingle in anticipation of the unknown…
New hazards
The cold takes a toll on your body. Beware! It will only get worse as the sun sinks in the icy waters. On this stalk, your biggest enemy will be the cold weather.
Our developers have introduced a new temperature system to the game. Now whenever you find yourself in a cold environment without a heat source, such as a torch or lighter, your character will begin to take physical damage. This “Lighter” system is designed to provide more experienced players with an additional challenge to overcome.
Temperature system: The temperature will come into play in the arctic as the new status effect. Players will have to maintain body temperature with different heat sources ranging from plants that exhale hot air to warm drinks that you can prepare in the treehouse.
New enemies
With the fierce cold, the creatures living on the beanstalk needed to choose: evolve or go extinct. New species arise and you can bet they do not become friendlier. Beware, their aim remained the same: TO HUNT YOU DOWN! It does not matter how, but they will try.
In the land of ice, there are these some four-legged, animal-like animal look-like sneaky creatures, you should definitely keep an eye on. To get you, the smaller ones will target your legs first and will be a huge problem for you. The larger ones will arrive in packs with either big teeth or claws that can be used to take down prey very quickly. These creatures have many different looks, but one thing is for sure: There’s always a chance that one of these animals might be near your area.
The human-like creatures that wander in the Frozen Forest are the most dangerous. They have weapons that can hurt you from far away, so keep your distance. You may be able to distract them with bait or lure them into traps if they get too close.
This is a general warning for your safety. A Dreki may attack you from the start of your journey from its hidden shelter that you might not see at first. When there is a danger, it will poke its head out and hiss before striking. This can be avoided by walking with caution so as to avoid stepping on or touching the area where it might be hiding.
Better not come close either to Ugla, because it has sharp claws and bright eyes that never sleep. The owl is the best at finding the highest and most elusive prey. It can fly to any height, be able to see what others cannot while still being able to swoop down for its dinner.
Hunang floats out of the icy shadows and latches itself to your chest. It wraps its tongue around you, drawing warmth from deep within your body. You feel cold all at once, but it’s too late now. The monster has already taken what it came for…
New tools and weapons
Carry the light with you to keep you warm during frosty nights. Use the cold against your enemies. Slow them down, injure them, and defeat them.
