Greetings Gatekeepers,
The CoT beta is live! If you’d like to hop in keep in mind the following:
- To access the beta go to Steam, Select Gatekeeper, Manage>Properties>Betas> select “children-of-tarra-beta”.
- Please note, if you switch from the beta branch back to the main one you’ll lose your saves! We recommend staying in beta until the full release of the CoT update. Then your saves will be fine when switching.

• Final damage calculations have been improved, accounting for various buffs and debuffs on both Gatekeepers and enemies.
