3.3.2 Patch Notes

Greetings explorers! Today's patch fixes one annoying bug:

  • Fixed nature rest events not progressing when a Cultist was frozen in the Old Theatre.

3.3.1 Patch Notes

Greetings Cultists! We have a small update with a couple of bug fixes for your cults today:

  • Fixed newly inducted cultists getting a level 1 cultist ability instead of their current level
  • Fixed some inducted cultists not getting the correct levels of their former classes ability, if that former class had multiple upgradable abilities
  • Fixed the promotion preview window not displaying correct information for Cultists


If you find any bugs, do please report them using the in-game bug reporter! If you don't, the Purple Jelly will get you!

Free Cultist DLC Now Available!

Dear Explorers,

We've just released a free update, featuring a new playable Cult Leader character and 4 types of Cultists to recruit!

[h2]Cult Leader[/h2]
  • To unlock the Cult Leader, you need to have the "From Whence we Came" achievement, "Enter a Portal to a Corrupted world and return back". Then just start a new Campaign or Director Mode run and select this explorer.
  • Cult Leaders can persuade human trek members to join their cult and become a Cultist. You can do this at any nature rest location. New Cultists will keep their existing class's skill along with their new abilities!
  • Cult Leaders grow in power the more Cultists they have in their party, gaining extra maximum sanity.
  • Cult Leaders get powerful unique options when converting a Mission to a Cultist Outpost.




[h2]Cultists[/h2]
  • All explorers can recruit Cultists at the Tavern in Paris - not just Cult Leaders!
  • There are 4 types of Cultist to recruit, each with their own skills and dice. They all get more powerful the more Cultists you have in the party.
  • And of course, no self-respecting Cultist would visit a Mission and not see an opportunity! The Mission Takeover returns from Curious Expedition 1.


Additionally there are a number of new events included featuring the new characters. We're very curious to see what trek member combinations you find to make the most famous Cult in history!
