THE CADAVER KEEP UPDATE[/h3]
A new update has been birthed from our gestational sacs. This one will add a ton of new challenges to the
Endless Region, including a new main story quest and further improvements to
combat and
general optimisation.
[hr][/hr]
[h3]
THE DUCHESS QUESTLINE[/h3]
The hunt for Vela Callose continues in this update, with Vela's former comrade - known as
the Duchess - arriving in the Endless Region.
She inhabits a cluster of islands haunted by skeletons and spectral eyeballs, so finding her will be no easy task. But once you do, this powerful cipher-witch will send you on an even more perilous endeavour - to rescue her daughter from the terrifying
Cadaver Keep.
[hr][/hr]
This Keep is a brand new dungeon, teeming with enemies and treasure both. Just like Rustburg in our last update, there will be multiple paths to your goal - allowing you to slip past some of the more daunting combat encounters, if you have the skill.

ENDLESS MINES
[/h3]
But the Endless region is also getting another massive dungeon. The Endless Mines are a vast complex of crystalline caves in which a malign psychic presence has taken root. This entirely optional dungeon will grant a huge amount of crafting materials, but also features an engrossing questline with multiple endings.

ENEMY ENHANCEMENTS
[/h3]
Humanoid foes can now drink potions to restore health and use shields to deflect attacks. This adds an extra layer of strategy to fights.
[h3]
PERFORMANCE OVERHAUL
[/h3]
We've also vastly improved the way the game loads data between regions. This may make inter-region loading times a fraction longer, but it will improve performance all round.
[h3] Game now loads far fewer assets at once
Structures in the game have low-poly variants when far away[/h3]
That's it for now! We hope you enjoy the new additions - as always, we're eager to hear your feedback. You can find more extensive patch notes below:
