Eldritch Horror is starting to feel a bit same-y for me so I`m thinking of spicing things up with an expansion (one of the small ones, since the big ones are ridiculously expensive for me, at that price - or cheaper - I can get a whole new game). But anyway, after researching what Forsaken Lore and Strange Remnants offer I incline towards the latter.

However, what Forsaken Lore has and I find really interesting is the fact that you get 2 new mysteries for the 4 base-game AOO. This sounds great, because a big part of the repetitive nature of EH for me is the fact that in each game you tackle 3 out of only 4 possible mysteries.

Hence my question: can you please let me know what the 8 mysteries in Forsaken Lore (2 for each base game AOO) do? Photos would be great, but if you think that could raise copyright issues a text description of them would be enough, don`t much care about flavour text. If the new mysteries are interesting enough and feel significantly different than the base game ones I just might get Forsaken Lore for now, even though I find Strange Remnants more attractive (thematically, investigator and AOO-wise). Thanks a lot!

    There's a wonderful wiki for Arkham Horror that has the text for each card, but it doesn't look like there is an equivalent for Eldritch Horror unfortunately.

    That does look great! I found a wiki for EH, but it`s very much a work in progress, just a few general pages for now. It might get better over time though.

  • This is great info! And you wrote all this from memory? You must play the game a lot :)) I have to say most of them sound really cool. I'll mark the question as solved but if and when you can provide more detail from the cards themselves it would be vey welcome. Thanks a lot!

  • I'll definitely do, but probably as late as in the second week of May. Right now I don't even have internet at my house.

With six unique Mysteries, and a host of Epic Monsters, Yig will prove a challenging adversary to even the most courageous and cunning of Investigators.

Investigators can now uncover new arcane mysteries unique to each Ancient One with the Forsaken Lore expansion

enter image description here

Fantasy Flight's Site news/2014/11/7/

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Forsaken Lore, an expansion for Eldritch Horror. Forsaken Lore adds over two hundred new cards to Eldritch Horror, including over one hundred new Encounter cards, twenty-four condition cards, and fourteen new mysteries.

Yig enters the game with six unique mysteries, and your Investigators will need to gather all of their strength and cunning to keep Yig from entering our world. Break the power of the Serpent Crown over the will of the people, and defeat the Winged Serpent Epic Monster in order to world safe once more.

Fantasy Flight news/2014/2/10/

Ok so There are 14 new mysteries, 6 for the new AOO Yig and 2 each for the four original AOO. Hopefully this will motivate an owner to come back with further details. I'm not sure but I think the one that you can read in my picture is for Yig.

I didn't see anything myself but your best bet is probably the Wiki

  • Exactly, what I am interested in are details about those '2 mysteries each for the four original AOO' that they mention. I also believe the pictured mystery is for Yig, since he`s all about serpents and serpent people. Nothing helpful on that Wiki either...
