Core Keeper Introduces the Spookiest, Crawling Boss to the Sandbox Adventure

Greetings, avid adventurers! Prepare yourselves for a monumental showdown against the spine-chilling and monstrous Nimzura, the Queen of the Burrowed Sands. This formidable foe is featured in the latest Bags & Blasts free content update for Core Keeper. If you’re unfamiliar with it, Core Keeper is an engaging sandbox adventure where you can explore solo or team up with up to eight players online. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss, and it’s available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and even via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass!

### Nimruza – The Queen Taking Over the Underground

Before the Caveling empires rose to power, cicadas ruled the Underground, keeping the natural order intact as the revered “keepers of time.” However, territorial conflicts eventually erupted into a protracted war when the Cavelings sought to expand. As you journey through the depths of this realm, you’ll uncover the remnants of their great struggle—scattered cicada husks and ruined settlements.

In the center of the chaos is Nimruza, a once majestic cicada queen whose offspring spread throughout the desert. All was well until a parasitic entity took hold, devouring her from within. Now, transformed into a dark, corrupted threat, she emerges as a daunting adversary in Core Keeper’s latest update. Nimruza’s tale is not just another boss fight; it’s an expansion of the epic Cicada-Caveling War that deepens the lore and enriches your adventure.

### Crafting the Fearsome Nimruza

The creative minds at Pugstorm spent countless hours fine-tuning Nimruza to ensure that she stands out among Core Keeper’s roster of bosses. Her intricate design reflects a transformation from a gracious queen to a mechanized harbinger of destruction. Her attack patterns are meticulously crafted, offering a challenging yet rewarding battle that speaks to her loss of nature-driven instincts.

### Discovering the Oasis

Within the Bags & Blasts update, players are invited to explore the Oasis, a new sub-biome nestled in the Desert of Beginnings. Your mission is to confront Nimruza, battling through hordes of cicadas and dodging her monstrous attacks. This epic confrontation stands as one of Core Keeper’s most thrilling yet.

As you navigate the Oasis, watch for the charming Drohmble, a new camel-like companion. This adorable creature roams the Oasis’s rich plains and, when managed correctly, provides a valuable—even if pungent—resource for crafting all-new weapons.

### Unleashing Explosive Potential

Did someone mention new weaponry? That’s right! The Bags & Blasts update is all about delivering fresh explosive capabilities, introducing a vibrant new Explosives skill tree. Engage enemies from a distance with Grenades, and discover a series of innovative bombs—such as the vacuum-like Void Bomb and the massively destructive Blunder Bomb. These tools bring new strategies to the table, helping you tackle even Core Keeper’s most daunting challenges.
