## Meet Nimruza – Queen of the Burrowed Sands

Before civilizations rose underground, cicadas ruled these realms. Celebrated as “keepers of time,” they thrived until conflicts with the expanding Caveling empires ignited fierce and lengthy wars. Across the underground, scars of this ancient battle remain as empty cicada husks and abandoned Caveling settlements. And at the heart of this historic conflict is Nimruza, a once-majestic cicada queen. But her tale took a dark turn when a parasitic incursion twisted her into a malevolent force, setting the stage for her role in Core Keeper’s newest update. Her presence not only intensifies the adventure but also adds layers to the Cicada-Caveling War’s narrative.

Nimruza isn’t just any boss battle; she’s a cornerstone of Core Keeper’s evolving story. Imagined as a colossal cicada queen, she represents a natural progression from the remnants players have previously encountered.

## Crafting Nimruza

Pugstorm’s development team poured effort into making Nimruza a distinctive foe. Her character design as a corrupted entity is mirrored in her formidable attack sequences. With a mechanical precision, her actions reveal a stark departure from her original nature, epitomizing her transformation into a threatening force.

## Discovering the Oasis

With the Bags & Blasts update, the Oasis emerges as a new sub-biome nestled in the Desert of Beginnings. Here, players will face off against Nimruza, dodging swarms of cicadas and her lethal moves. Avoid the dark energy as you tackle one of Core Keeper’s most challenging boss fights.

While exploring the Oasis, look out for the Drohmble, a charming creature akin to a camel, navigating the region’s lush stretches. This endearing animal might yield a rather pungent but invaluable resource for crafting innovative weapons.

## Explosive Skills and Weaponry

Yes, indeed, the update brings explosive thrills to the gameplay! With the fresh Explosives skill tree, players can now unleash newfound power. Equip yourself with Grenades or experiment with unique bombs like the vacuum Void Bomb and the multi-explosion Blunder Bomb. Strategize and blast your way through the game’s most formidable obstacles with these new tools.
