Yotunz!
We’re introducing Arboria’s second major update, the Bugz Update, which introduces plenty of new features, such as symbionts, mutation, enemies, and much, much more. Now grab a potion, sit back while the update downloads, and check out the full patch notes!
Watch the update trailer:
New Symbionts: Hammer and Double Blade
Smash and slice your way through Durnar with new deadly weapons. Each one encourages you to adopt a different combat style.
Hammer
The force and strength of every blow makes an impact. Especially against opponents.
Slow but deadly, wide hammer swings crush enemies’ bones like toothpicks.
Oh, I love da sound of crushed bug, crackyn, platyn, and spillyn gutz - music
- Mulldogg da Distortyd
Double Blade
With blades on both sides of your arm, your enemies will never feel safe. Wreak havoc amongst the creatures of Durnar while spinning fiercely.
Do you know what hurtz more dan hittyn with Yotunz blade? Hittyn with two bladez!
- Tadd da Bat
New Mutation: Launcher
Spew a stream of energy at your enemies from a safe distance.
- Basic - shoots small projectiles
- Alternative - shoots big projectile that deals increased damage
Yotun shoot but da godz are carryn da bulletz
- Shaman Vordagg
New usable item: Drooch
This drink causes Yotun’s speed to increase so much that everything around him appears to slow down as he shoots his enemies with lightning.
Derz nothyn like a cold Drooch after long day of gatheryn herbz
- Gromm da Stoned
New Troll traits
Die and be reborn… with new traits:
- Weaponmaster (positive) - Increases acquisition speed of Weapon Proficiency for all weapon types
- Only a Sip (positive) - Creates a chance that when using a potion, Yotun will not consume all of it.
- Walking Meal (negative) - The enemy heals itself whenever he deals you a damage
New Enemies: Scorpen, Breeder, Rampart
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any harder to survive in the dungeons of Durnar, new enemies have arrived to prove you wrong. Scorpen, Breeder, and Rampart will put all you’ve learned so far to the test. Maybe you should surprise them with your new weapons or invest in new passive bonuses?
New NPC: Big Momma
Big Momma’s has reopened for clientele. Pay her a visit (and some Veri) to unlock Rata’s ultimate skills.
Big Momma Updates:
- Superior Interior - Increase your number of inventory slots
- Veri Spacious Tummy - Increases the amount of Veri that will fit in one Inventory slot
- Safe Road Home - Increases the percentage of Veri taken back to the Village by Rata after Youtn’s death
- Veri Solid Meal - The amount of Veri gained from Crystals and Chests gets increased
- Monsters Soup - Amount of Veri gained from Enemies is increased

- Ultimate Ice (Blizzard) - Rata summons a huge ice storm that slows enemies and deals Elemental Damage. Yotun gains a bonus to his current Armor value
- Ultimate Bio (Clone) - Rata creates a Clone of Yotun that taunts enemies around it. Clones destroyed by enemy attacks explode, dealing damage and knocking enemies back.
