Camilla, Second Disciplinarian and WHIP

Welcome to WHIP peasant! Camilla has occupied Arkanos’ empty library and has a new motivational strategy. The Worker’s Helpful Incentive Program, or WHIP for short, is a daily run mode. Each day Camilla will present you with a random set of hexes, items, and a familiar. Your job is to run either Undermine or Othermine and score the highest score you can. Your best run will be placed on a daily leaderboard against other players. See if you can score the highest!

Log

There is now a log in the journal that stores information about recent runs. See past runs in both Undermine and Othermine. See what their seed was, how much gold was collected, which enemies were defeated, and in the case of WHIP, how high a score was achieved.

Familiar Styles

Each familiar now has an alternate style that can be toggled at a magic mirror in Griswold’s room. Familiar styles can be unlocked by scoring over 100,000 points and completing a WHIP run with a particular familiar.
