New Challenges and Unveiling Rewards: The Flame Keepers Expansion for Path of Exile

Last night, the developers at **Grinding Gear Games** held the much-anticipated presentation for the global expansion **»Keepers of the Flame»** for the first **[Path of Exile](https://stopgame.ru/game/path_of_exile)**.

As usual, players will have the opportunity to participate in a new challenge league. The storyline reveals that Eylit has established the Order of Keepers of the Flame to eradicate the threat posed by the Shard Lords once and for all. Gamers will join her mission, defending Eylit from waves of deadly monsters as she empowers the Flame to cleanse the lands of intruders. The league offers several versions with different levels of difficulty, but the core mechanics and rewards are consistent across all of them.

Players will gain access to the Birth Tree at the Keepers’ Monastery, where they can «cultivate» a variety of rewards, including currency, unique items, equipment, and a new type of otherworldly items called «Growths.» Using these «Growths,» heroes can attach extra arms to their bodies, thereby harnessing the powers of the Shard itself.
