Mortal Online 2’s Sarducaa Expansion Is Live With a Fresh-Start Continent and Lockpicking

Mortal Online 2 has opened up Sarducaa, its new continent, as part of the game’s latest expansion update. The release adds a fresh-start landmass hosted on a North American server, along with a new lockpicking system for players who want something a little more hands-on than looting the usual way.

Sarducaa works differently from a normal new zone. Existing characters can’t travel there, so players need to make a new character if they want in. Characters heading from Haven to Sarducaa can only bring starting gear and spell books, keeping the continent separate from the older world and giving everyone there a cleaner start.

Star Vault has also added a third character slot for all players, which should make trying Sarducaa less of a hassle. The update also lets players select one home priest per continent.

The continent comes with its own creatures, NPCs, music, cities listed in the Guild Finder, and a new login screen. It’s meant to stand apart from the existing map rather than act like another travel destination layered onto the same character progression.

Lockpicking is the other major addition. Players can find chests of different difficulties around the world and build up Lockpick knowledge to access higher-tier rewards. Star Vault says the system uses newly recorded in-house audio based on real lockpicks and lock components.

One notable wrinkle: locks don’t change after a server reset. In theory, if you’ve got a sharp memory, you can learn a lock’s solution and use that knowledge later. For most players, though, it sounds like the system is meant to be a repeatable challenge while exploring.
