Version history

Frost Harbinger was in the game already, probably before the open beta (version 0.10.0) patch. However, probably due to the removal of cruel and merciless difficulties in version 3.0.0, Frost Harbinger as well as its elemental variants Flame Harbinger, Thunder Harbinger, are removed from The Ancient Pyramid. That area has the weaker variant: Frost Archmage (as well as Flame and Thunder) instead.

Frost and Flame Harbingers are retained in the unique map The Coward's TrialThe Coward's Trial
