Revision 3

Heralds are the boss creatures of KYORA. Each Herald controls a specific biome and acts as a major obstacle and progression milestone for players. Defeating a Herald is tied to unlocking access to further areas and better materials.

Role in Progression

Boss encounters with Heralds are described as tests of reflexes, strategy, and careful preparation. Players are expected to gather appropriate gear and Wands before challenging a Herald. The encounter design rewards players who have engaged with the biome's crafting and resource systems beforehand.

Loot and Rewards

Defeating a Herald can yield gear with properties specific to that boss or biome. The developers have used the example of magma-themed armor from a boss in a lava-themed environment, granting a resistance to burn damage. This kind of boss-sourced loot is distinct from crafted gear in the properties it can carry.

Specific Herald names and detailed encounter mechanics have not been officially confirmed as of early 2026.
