Secondly, we've released the new major Update today! The isometric, stamina-based aRPG combat of "Achilles: Legends Untold" just got even more interesting as the Version 1.2 of the game introduced a powerful new feature - Amulets.
These mystical items are designed to deepen your gameplay experience, offering a variety of enhancements to aid you on your epic quest through Ancient Greece. We believe they will add a new layer of strategy and customization to "Achilles: Legends Untold," allowing you to tailor your hero to your playstyle even further.
To give you a better understanding of this update, we've also released a video explaining amulets the new mechanics.
Whether you're diving into the game for the first time or returning for another playthrough, there's never been a better time to explore the ancient world we've crafted.
Amulet Mechanics
From the very beginning of your journey, amulets are accessible and can be discovered in treasure chests and dungeons scattered throughout the game's world. Each amulet offers unique buffs and occasionally trade-offs, allowing for strategic customization based on your combat needs or specific encounters.
In the New Game Plus (NG+) and beyond, amulets evolve, offering enhanced abilities and new possibilities. These upgraded versions can also be found in the game, ensuring that even veterans have fresh treasures to discover.
To accommodate these new items, your equipment will now feature one dedicated slot for amulets, ensuring they're easily accessible and integral to your adventure.
The Amulets
The update introduces 7 amulets, each with three versions to unlock as you progress through NG+ and NG++. Here's a sneak peek into their capabilities:
- Do you find yourself running low on HP more often than you'd like? Use the Amulet, which increases your vitality stat at the cost of dealing a bit less damage. This difference increases on the 2nd and 3rd item level. Take a hit after hit and still stay strong on the battlefield!
- Perhaps you're more of a risk taker? Equip the Amulet, which increases damage dealt by 25%, but also decreases your defense by 25%. On the 2nd and 3rd item level, you can deal even more damage, but your vulnerabilty will increase just as much. Become a true glass cannon of a warrior!
- Want those strong attacks to be even heavier? We've got you covered! Just use the Amulet, which increases your strong attack damage at the expense of its speed. By the 2nd and 3rd item levels these get even slower, but significantly stronger. You might move like a Cyclops, but you'll hit hard like a Titan!
These are just 3 of the 7 amulets you can find in this update. Can you find them all? Share your amulet builds under this post or in the Community Hub and let's see what creative ways to play you'll come up with!
