You might now meet monsters much more difficult and rewarding than you ever had seen. Its to our demise they are using their strength and only the strongest, or most protected or vigilant will survive. Now we introduce you to a whole new hell of enhanced monsters.

These include:
- The Vampire - that will stockpile damage as their health;
- the Champion - triple as tough and strong as noone;
- the Fanatic - who is a zealot of his cult and thus not afraid of anything;
- the Possessed - whos demon controls and bestows unnatual health on the host;
- the Death Aura boss - which diverts all damage done to it to the attacker;
- the Spectre - which is transparent and will flee thru teleporting;
- the Absorb Aura boss - which averats two thirds of damage dealing same to the attacker;
and many more to come.
