Dear Hollow Miners, I wish to present to you major update 1.1 with new unlock-able character Paladin, Halloween Special Event and cool updates including new item meta progression.
Halloween Special Event
Hollow Mine has been overrun by Halloween monsters. Defeat the Pumpkin Boss and his minions to claim the Veles’s Claw. Add it to your collection and expand your item pool for future games. This powerful weapon can unleash three melee projectiles at once.
Event lasts until 07 November 2025
(beyond that date Halloween content will be disabled and Veles's Claw won't be unlock-able until next year)
See below list of all major features.
Major features:
Paladin - New unique unlock-able character.
Unique trait: Heavenly Touch - Lifts the earthly bounds of steel, letting melee strikes soar without limit.
Pumpkin Boss - is part of Halloween Special Event. Defeat it during your runs and collect your price Veles's Claw unique weapon.
Veles's Claw - a new unique trident weapon enters Hollow Mine! When attacking with it three melee projectiles appear at once. It's possible to get only during Halloween Special Event. Can be unlocked by defeating the Pumpkin Boss. Once unlocked it will appear in your Collections Window and become part of your item pool.
Combination with Paladin's Heavenly Touch unique trait makes it a perfect synergy.
Item Meta Progression – Track your progress in the Collections window, found in the main menu. Each unlocked item becomes part of your item pool, making it possible to find as loot or in NPC shops during future runs.
UI animations and sounds - navigating through UI should be much more enjoyable and visible with new SFX and small animation marking currently selected button.
