New to Dauntless
Anniversary Event: Legend of the First Slayer
The statue of the First Slayer stands as a reminder. As Slayers, it’s up to us to keep the Shattered Isles safe. It’s up to us to stand against the Behemoth threat.
Visit Markus Boehr in Ramsgate to embark on a quest to honour the First Slayer and confront the original eight Behemoth species. Then, relive the legendary battle against both Shrowd and Rezakiri in a brand new event hunt: First Slayer’s Legacy.
Brave Slayers can earn the fiery Firelight sword skin, but only the most impressive will unlock the new Firelight crown. You must unlock Slayer’s Path Milestone V: Light the Way to participate.
Sunlight Champion
The pure white dye returns. Sunlight Champion is now available in Lady Luck’s shop for 500 Gilded Marks. Complete objectives in Dauntless Trials to earn Gilded Marks.

We’re taking a look at how new Slayers are trained in the Shattered Isles. This first set of changes are small, but set the groundwork for what’s to come. Now, combat merits are introduced once a player has a need for them and knows what they do. The goal is to make sure all new players have clear goals to work toward from first signing in to completing Heroic Escalation.
