poe exalted Bestiary League and content update is arriving on March 2, and it’s larger than almost all previous expansions. You’ll capture dangerous beasts, encounter new end-game foes, battle The Elder and The Shaper together, and finally discover what’s behind that chained door. I sat down with Producer and Lead Designer Chris Wilson last week to get the details, so let’s jump in.

In the Bestiary League, you’ll venture far and wide to capture beasts of different categories and tiers. There are around 250 different regular beasts and 40 legendary beasts, some of which are more rare than others. To capture a beast, you’ll want to weaken it and then throw a net to hold it in place.
After a couple of seconds, you’ll know whether or not the capture was successful. If it succeeds, Einhar Frey, a new NPC in the Bestiary League, will appear from a portal to transport the beast back to your menagerie. (Your menagerie is a private area where you can invite friends, and it has themed areas for all of the different beasts you’ve captured.) If it fails, the beast will be freed and become enraged.

After capturing beasts, you’re free to go visit them in your menagerie. You’ll receive no judgement from me, Exile, if your main goal in the Bestiary League is to build a really cool zoo. However, that’s not really the purpose of all of this; Bestiary is very much a crafting league.
Similar enough to grinding down cute Pidgeys in Pokemon Go for candy, you’ll be sacrificing the beast you capture in Wraeclast for crafting. Performing sacrifice by combat at your blood altar (located inside your menagerie) will allow you to craft and augment items, and there are dozens of recipes that require different beast combinations.Read More
