Christmas is just around the corner and what better way to pass the time until presents arrive than with a round of Lindwyrm? Or two or three rounds? We also have something new: the brand-new “Insidious Nature” setting. New environment, new monsters, new features!

[h3]New Feature Town Defence[/h3]

The first attack has been averted, but there are still several monsters lurking underground. The villagers have built a protective barrier, but it is only a matter of time before the wood gives way and the monsters storm back into the village.

If this happens, you must defend the place, otherwise it will be razed to the ground again and any previous upgrades will be lost.

Repair the barrier as best you can so that it holds out for a long time.
Return from the Underground as soon as the barrier drops to 0 and defend the mine! If you fail, the monsters will storm into the village.

[h3]New Dungeon Setting: Insidious Nature[/h3]

• New monsters
  
• New boss
  
• New quests
  
• New arsenal
  

New adventures await you in the insidious nature. A colorful world covered in plants awaits you. But beware! Appearances can be deceptive and not everything is as lovely as it seems.

[h2]Release notes[/h2]
[h3]Dungeons[/h3]

• New: A full new dungeon setting is here with more floors to be visited, more monster to be fought, more quests and story, more traps & puzzles to overcome and more equipment to to be found.
  
• New: Aura steles can occasionally appear in dungeons that hold little surprises for you, either good or challenging.
  
• Player Feedback: Tutorial maps got additional checkpoints to avoid restarting the complete floor in case of failing.
  
• Bug Fixes: Several problems with dungeons have been addressed.
  

[h3]Monster & Combat[/h3]

• Player Feedback: Kill and destroy streaks will increase their buff effects as the streak continues.
  
• Player Feedback: We made improvements to the hit feedback when attacking monster.

• Player Feedback: The amount of remaining monster & number of waves is shown in combat.
  
• Bug Fix: A whole new ground marker for elite monster. The old effect was barely visible on some floors.

Bug Fixes

Multiplayer
We have seen reports about invisible or not reacting monster, Traps which are not moving etc while playing in coop mode. This update is addressing that issue.
Note: If you still encounter a similar problem after installing the patch, please send us a screenshot of map (full screen) and how long you were playing in coop until the occurrence in Discord.

Quests
We identified an issue with the Quest “A fine pair of Boots” in which it was not possible to find the required Monster. Fixed it!

Misc
In some PC setups it could occur that bullets and arrows were flying much slower than intended. Done!

We’ve implemented a quick notice to the game, when there is no (stable) internet connection detected.
