Welcome traveler,
to enjoy the first content update of Chronicles of Vaeltaja: In Search of the Great Wanderer: The Halls of Onkalo update, which changes the game to version 0.6.
It took a while, but I hope it was worth the wait, because this update brings more content than was originally planned. Halls of Onkalo is not the only new place you get to visit, as you will now have the chance to visit other new areas in the Great Forest and Pramea region. There's also some new side-quest content, shops and new items and equipment for you to try. Some items that you already might have found have now purpose. But that's not all! Twin Falls has gone through some changes as it is now shaped to match the original vision.
Even though this update brings lots of new stuff and changes, I wasn't able to include everything I wanted. I didn't want to delay the update any further. Therefore I might bring some of the stuff with smaller updates before the next major update. The next major update will focus on Wizard's Tower at Lake Road and some other things.
To access Halls of Onkalo dungeon, you must first solve the situation in Pramea. After that you should pay a visit to the old Hermit living in Marsh of Condemned, he just might have something to say about the evil forces nesting in Halls of Onkalo. But beware, this is the most challenging dungeon so far. Also if you haven't visited Witch Grove, which can be found at the Twin Falls Beach, now is a good time to see what's going on in there - 'Nature Speech' will come in handy.
You can read about all the changes in patch notes below, I just hope I haven't forgotten something.
Thank you for your patience, I hope you will enjoy your adventures in Twin Falls!
