Haedrig: The New Blacksmith
Haedrig is located at Devil's Crossing prison, where you accept the "Seamstress - Fabric Quest". He crafts cosmetic wings, all gems and the new Crusader's Special Melee Weapons.
Hold Your Ground and Crusader's Weapons
Just like almost every skill in the mod, Crusader's Hold Your Ground passive has an ultimate bonus, which is unlocked when you maximize the skill. This ultimate bonus is the Heavenly Strength, famous to allow the Crusader to wield 2 handed weapons with just one hand, and I've imported this technique to Grim Dawn in a different way. You can go to Haedrig and turn any 2h melee weapon from the game into a 1h melee weapon with the same bonuses and damage. However, these 1h versions have a huge physique requirement, impossible to reach with any classes, except the Crusader. Heavenly Strength removes the physique requirement to wield melee weapons, allowing you to use the special 1h weapons. Notice that Hold Your Ground REQUIRES A SHIELD, so you gonna need to use one when trying to wield the crafted weapons.
Diablo 3 Bosses
The Forgotten Gods expansion added the Shattered Realm to Grim Dawn, sort of a random dungeons system. In these dungeons, you can find the Diablo 3's bosses, including the Lord of Terror it self.
Bosses included: Diablo, Tyrael, Adria, Cow King, Malthael, Azmodan, Leoric and Zoltun Kulle.
