Gameplay Mechanics:
- The perks "% damage of element, + element damage and % penetration of element" are now limited to the selected elements in your run.
- Introducing a new periodic event on the map featuring two enigmatic squares, each marked with a unique symbol. Standing within these squares triggers a progress bar. Successfully filling this bar results in the appearance of a corresponding item on the map. Currently, there are five potential outcomes: Heart, Soul Magnetizer, Prophecy Whirl, Potential Rift, or +10 Gold. This empowers you to influence the type of random spawns you prefer, provided you can maintain the progress bar without leaving the squares.
Bosses:
- Added a new boss (physical).
- Added a new boss (lightning alternative).
- Added a new boss (cold alternative).
- Added a new boss (fire alternative).
- Added a new boss (physical alternative).
- Bosses now spawn every minute after 20 minutes, with 25 and 30 being double boss encounters.
- Prophecies and minute 20+ Boss encounters can now spawn all 8 bosses, while the 10-minute encounter randomly chooses from 4 bosses.
Realm and Trials:
- Reduced the number of trials per realm to 5 (making progress quicker but also harder on a per-trial basis), significantly increased gold bonus per trial. Hell now starts out with 150% extra gold without any trials active.
Upgrades and Crafting:
- Rebalanced the costs of upgrades.
- Enabled corrupted boots drops (These can have positive and negative modifiers, very limited crafting options).
- New special modifier for Hell: Bosses now have x% chance to drop corrupted boots.
Blessings:
- Implemented the blessings menu.
- Added 10 blessings to the game.
Achievements:
- Added 21 Steam achievements.
Localization:
- Added the German language to the game and Steam page.
Balance Adjustments:
- Slightly reduced the movementspeed penalty of frost.
- Base movementspeed +20, all classes should feel faster on a fresh save file (Base MS is now 160).
- Slightly reduced %MS on Helmets and Weapons to compensate.
- Reduced flat MS per upgrade point.
- Apprentice starts with less MS bonus.
- Lowered winters curve damage for enemies (Player version untouched), it was a tad too high.
- Reduced the extra % chance to get legendaries of Inferno prophecy to 100% (old 150%), increased its possible respawns to 3 (old 2).
- Minimap symbols, which appeared recently, blink repeatedly for a small duration.
Bug Fixes and Improvements:

- Added minor visual differences to Procer and Duelist.
- Added a "selected" label for blessings.
