The Neverwinter team provided us details beforehand about a heroic encounter called Gone Not Forgotten, in which players can face off against an undead Bressana Wildmaster, now Bressana the Depraved, a terrifying Death Knight. Once a brave hero in the distant past, she has now been brought back by the lich Valindra to torment the descendants of her former kin and allies. Holmes was happy to provide more detail:

It seems like Bressana’s fate is, unfortunately, not entirely unique. This episode is defined by a main villain that harasses her enemies with countless undead and even more powerful necromancy. Holmes went on, explaining, “There’s also a lot of souls being taken from adventurers and Iliyanbruen but they mystery has yet to be solved. Adventurers from Neverwinter will need to take up arms against this new threat and uncover who or exactly what is behind this…” It’s clear, then, that other famous adventurers will likely be returning from their graves, and it will all be tied to a deeper mystery. Players will, of course, have a lot more heroic encounters to experience.

We were able to get one more glimpse at the content to come when we asked Noah what his favorite encounter to make was. “The Major Heroic Encounter ‘Waking Nightmares’ has a unique boss named ‘The Keeper of Nightmares’ that was a lot of fun to build. He uses oni magic to harass players from a distance while melee creatures spawn as adds to close in the distance on any ranged players trying to pick off the boss. He also has a special ability that he uses when his health hits certain percentages that adds to the challenge.” Soon enough, players will be able to jump into the second episode of the module to see The Keeper of Nightmares, Bressana, and many more frightening foes for themselves.

In Episode 2, players will be able to obtain new Companion gear to match the power of the rewards from Episode 1…. As an additional gameplay activity for players, Heroic Encounters offer a continued repeatable challenge for players looking to obtain additional rewards during their adventures. Furthermore, the encounters add to the excitement of traversing this harsh landscape by giving players more variety as they progress through the Sharandar Campaign."
