Hearthstones Monster Hunt Game-Type Is Now Available
By Zac Cameron ·
After the success of the Dungeon Run format, Blizzard have introduced their new PvE content.
The wait for the latest Hearthstone PvE content has finally ended. Two weeks after the release of the Witchwood expansion, Blizzard have unveiled the Monster Hunt mode, open to all who are willing to brave the hunt.

A little different than the Dungeon Run, this time you pick from one of four choices, each based on a new Legendary card introduced in the Witchwood expansion. Up first is Tess Greymane, a Rogue hero who has a new hero power, Scavenge, allowing her to Discover a class spell that has been played this game. Up second is Darius Crowley, a Warrior hero with the hero power Fire! which fires a series of cannons that refresh when a minion dies. The third hero, Houndmaster Shaw, is a Hunter hero with the hero power Dog Whistle, which allows him to summon a 1/1 Bloodhound with Rush. The final hero is Toki, Time-Tinker, a Mage hero with the hero power Temporal Loop, which allows players to start their turn over again.
Each hero has a unique Nemesis boss that they will have to overcome on their journey, with Tess going up against Captain Shivers, Darius taking on Lord Godfrey, Houndmaster Shaw facing off Glinda Crowskin, and Toki squaring up against an alternate version of herself.
Once all the Nemesis characters have been defeated, you can face off against the ultimate enemy of the expansion, Hagatha the Witch, another Legendary come to life that is almost as annoying as playing against Hadronox Druid. Victory here is not assured, however players who defeat the final boss will receive a very nice Monster Hunt card back to show off with.
