Hands-On with the Demonologist in the Sanctum of the Burning Souls

What Do You Get When You Mix a Demon and a Gamer? Cody knows...



During Ten Ton Hammer's trip to the icy reaches of Norway to
preview Funcom's upcoming MMORPG, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, Cody
"Micajah" Bye had the opportunity to play through mid-level dungeons in the
game as a Demonologist. This dungeon, named the Sanctum of the Burning
Souls, was rife with atmosphere, combat, and strategy, and Cody used the
Demonologist to the best of his (not-so-great) ability. Please enjoy the
reading!

Overall, there were approximately eight different types of monsters
in the dungeon, ranging from over-sized spiders (Acheronian Spider Queens)
to the always awe-inspiring Blood Defiler. Each of the monsters really
looked outstanding, and their animations were nearly spot on. Every time I
got hit by one of the creatures, I could almost feel my bones crack through
the computer monitor. The loot that was dropped was also appropriate for the
monsters that we killed.
