Greetings Lampbearers,

In today’s update, we’ve introduced several gameplay adjustments and improvements inspired by your invaluable feedback, alongside a series of gameplay tweaks. Full patch notes below.

As always, if you’re enjoying your time in Mournstead, we’d be grateful if you could leave a Steam review and share your thoughts.

In light, we walk.

Return of the Lightreaper

In a recent update, we removed the first (of potentially four) encounters with the Lightreper, as the high-difficulty battle just after the tutorial was observed to be confusing for new players. However, it transpired that some of our more seasoned Lampbearers missed the early challenge, and so in response to this, we have added a new option to bring the encounter back. Players who wish to face the Lightreaper earlier in the game (as it was prior to the adjustment) may now do so by enabling the Increased Enemy Density option in the Advanced Game Modifier System, which can be accessed when starting a new game (including NG0) either through the main menu or at any Vestige.

Improved Enemy Encounters
To improve combat realism, we’ve adjusted attack ranges and tracking for some of our enemies. Some enemies could jump unrealistic distances potentially breaking the player's sense of immersion, while other enemies would occasionally spin mid attack (even mid air) which could feel unfair or frustrating. The level of challenge remains the same following these adjustments, but we hope combat encounters now feel fairer and more realistic.

Early Game Inferno Progression
In response to community feedback, early-game progression of the Pyric Cultist class has been altered. Two Inferno-based spells are now being granted earlier in the game through Damarose, giving players more opportunities to explore pyromancy builds early in their journey.

Echoes of Battle for Lightreaper Bug Fix
We’ve resolved a bug where the Lightreaper’s Echoes of Battle was unlocked too early.
