Greetings, Exiles!
The moon-drenched flesh of those who dare to wander the villages at night is the delicacy Yog most favors when sacrifices are made in his name.
[Exile, check our blog [link here] for translated versions in supported languages]
It takes a village to scare Yog!
What’s better in a Hero’s life than conquering lands and cursing at the Gods? This year’s Yogtober building contest is no simple task. It will require the combined efforts of an entire well-equipped village to overcome the terrors of his grasp!
Walking alone at night could be the demise of your citizens, but we will not falter Exiles! On this Yogtober, we urge you to join us in this great task! To keep his tentacles away, we pledge that you build a village more terrifying than Yog himself!
Prizes will be dropping directly from Yog’s grasp
This year Yog himself said all platforms are welcome in trying to scare him away. And he demanded that we divide the contest into 2 categories: unmodded and modded.
Both categories will have a first, second and third winners of the following:
1st place:
Nemedian Haunted Bundle + Cursed tree (knowledge unlocked from the Battle Pass Season 1, Chapter 2) + DLC of choice + Surprise package
2nd place:
Nemedian Haunted Bundle + Cursed tree (knowledge unlocked from the Battle Pass Season 1, Chapter 2) + DLC of choice
3rd place:
Buried arm prop (knowledge unlocked from the Nemedian Haunted bundle) + Haunted tree previously on the Battle Pass + DLC of choice
Yog also asked us to convey that he might be ok with sending out a few additional gifts for honorable mentions. He seems to be in a good mood…So, get to building, Exiles!
Due date
Beware of the dates, Exiles! Yog will not accept entries if they are submitted after the deadline. No sacrifice to his name will change his big head!
