Greetings, Heroes!
Today a new update for Hero's Story was released.
It fixed the shortcomings of the previous version, added new artifact mechanics and a new location, and updated the game bosses. In this update I tried to listen to the opinions of the players, so the rewards for defeating monsters were increased and the cooldown of the hero's abilities was reduced.

Minor level fixes
Now let's take a closer look at some points.
ARTIFACTS
Artifacts are the ultimate goal of wanderers' searches. These are powerful items that temporarily grant a certain power - for example, the ability to not spend an arrow when shooting, get additional glory points or reduce the cooldown of abilities. Artifacts can only be found in closed iron chests!
BOSSES UPDATE
Boss battles in the new version will become more interesting and difficult! Each boss will have a new type of attack - for example, Spider Queen will learn to attack from a distance, High Necromancer will be protected by a dark shield and the Fallen Knight will be able to carry out a deadly ultimate attack. Good luck in battle!
SMUGGLER'S PATH
Somewhere in the mountains in the north there is an abandoned passage, which, according to rumors, can be opened with a special seal. They say that this passage has long been used by smugglers and slave traders, and that this path leads to the Trade Coast. Who knows - perhaps you will yet have to go to unknown lands in search of new adventures...
As always, you can leave your impressions of the update in the comments or discussions.

Greetings, Heroes!
Today, Hero's Story received its first major update since its release.
This update added a new dungeon to the game - the Ruins of Shasaf, added a mechanic for fast travel through the Obelisks, and fixed a large number of various bugs.
Please note that Shasaf will only open after completing the game, and to move through the obelisks, you will first need to find a valuable item.
I hope you enjoy this update!
You can find full list of changes below.
General

Now when trying to move to the Swamp of Myths, a corresponding warning will be displayed
Changed the description of the 'Learning Stones' achievement

Other

Now let's take a closer look at some points.
RUINS OF SHASAF
The ruins of the once proud wanderer city of Shasaf are located in the east of the Endless Desert.
Magical storms and fortress walls reliably protect the peace of the city's inhabitants from careless travelers and desert spirits.
They say that the passage to them will open only when a great evil is defeated.
They also say that the city has long been empty and has become a haven for spirits...
MYSTERY OF THE OBELISK
The obelisks scattered throughout Teandria have long attracted the attention of various researchers!
Such mages as Algus and Angelica have long tried to compare ancient records, and came to the conclusion that the monuments can be used as a kind of portals.
However, to activate them, you will need a fragment of an ancient crystal hidden deep in the ancient Angalar catacombs...
Players will be able to quickly move between already found obelisks after activating the crystal.
BUGFIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
After the release of any game, there are still things that require attention.
Although most of the critical bugs were fixed immediately after the release with the help of small updates, nevertheless, there are still bugs in the game.
In this update, problems with game levels, the ability to increase the chance of a critical hit and some other errors were fixed.
In future updates, I will continue to fix and improve the game - but after my trip for treatment.
As always, you can leave your impressions of the update in the comments or discussions.
Enjoy the game! Your Silent.

DESTROYER OF WORLDS
A man named Algus began his journey as a wizard in the academies of Angalar, where he studied the art of magic. Over time, his heart began to gravitate towards forbidden and dark knowledge.
With charisma and the ability to convince people of his rightness, Algus began to gather acolytes around him, ready to follow him into the darkness. One day, Algus stole an ancient artifact with colossal magical power and disappeared without a trace for many years. It was believed that he died.
Now, Algus's tracks have led wanderers to a mysterious swamp in the north, where the sinister wizard seems to have opened his new abode...
In a place where nature and magic intertwine, he again began to sow discord and fear, returning to take over the kingdom - or destroy it!
TUTORIAL
Join the ranks of the Royal Guard and become a skilled warrior to fight the enemies of the kingdom, explore the world and search for artifacts!
You will undergo training in the Arsenal, where you will learn movement, exploration and the basics of combat. Our best instructors will lead you through a series of simple tests, after which you will be able to confidently enter the lands of Teandria.
Hero's Story players have long been asking for a tutorial system, and in the full version this request has finally been fulfilled. All new players in Hero's Story will be offered to complete the tutorial (or if you delete your save). Good luck in the game!
SWAMP OF MYTHS
In the north of the kingdom of Teandria there is a poisonous magical swamp, in which ancient evil lurks. This ominous place is covered in misty darkness and filled with twisted magic, permeated with toxic fumes! The wild inhabitants of this inhospitable place handle powerful spells, which fills the hearts of even the bravest adventurers with anxiety.
Among the ominous branches and spreading bushes rises the formidable temple of Hamuraptra - an ancient sanctuary, where ancient spells still sound like an eternal echo.
Whoever dares to cross the swamp and enter the ancient temple will open the doors to old magic and secrets, but will also sacrifice his soul on the altar of everlasting evil...
Enjoy the game! Your Silent.

Let's take a closer look at some points.
GREAT DRAGON
It was always possible to get through the Isil Gorge into the Swamp of Myths via a single bridge, built during the Old Era.
Rumor has it that a huge dragon recently settled on this bridge! This winged monster has killed many knights and now terrorizes the lands of Central Teandria.
The king will generously reward anyone who can crush or drive away the powerful creature. In the battle with the dragon, potions of protection from fire and magic will help you.
NEW REGION
The mountain range north of Enthor divides the lands of Central Teandria into a few separate regions.
One of these areas is the Isil Plateau, which will be available to players in this update!
The new region consists of several zones and includes several new locations, including an abandoned hut on a hill and a troll cave on a cliff.
Only the most experienced adventurers will be able to defeat all the enemies in this area and collect all of the treasures.
LOCKPICKING
During your adventures in the lands of Central Teandria, you probably came across locked chests.
Now you can try to open these chests using a new item - lockpick.
The more valuable the contents of the chest, the more difficult it is to unlock it! Lockpicks can be obtained from chests or found in different caches.
I also remind you that a small demo version of the game is available on Steam store page.
Enjoy the game, and see you in the full version! Your Silent.
