Yotunz!
The tenth Early Access update has arrived to the Yotun Village—The Loot and Legend update. A set of Unique Symbionts and a new enemy have been spotted in Durnar, but the Village is growing too. You can now travel the area more conveniently with Fast Travel and attend a Bonfire Event to improve your stats and listen to stories of fallen heroes.
Watch the update trailer:
Check the full changelog below.
New Enemy: Mimic
Mimic is a dangerous, cunning enemy found in the Mutantz world. It will sometimes try to pretend it’s a Big Chest, so don’t get fooled. Even if the loot dropped by Mimic is the same as for a regular Big Chest, Mimic is definitely more vicious.
New set of Symbionts: Unique Symbionts
Feel the power of Symbionts with unique abilities. Axe, Sword, Scythe, Sabre, Hammer, and many more weapons are now better than ever. Unique Symbionts can be found as quest rewards and acquired in chest events.
New Godz Tests
Godz have prepared more tests for brave Yotunz. Will you take up the challenge in this new set of trials?
New game mechanic: Bonfire Event
When you’re in the Village, stay awhile and listen. Sit near the bonfire, pick a meal for a temporal increase in stats, and listen to Rata’s stories of fallen heroes. Who knows, maybe you’ll be in one of her stories one day too.
Major gameplay change: Elemental Overcharge
When the enemy is affected by an Elemental State, you can now deal more than one type of Elemental Damage to the opponent. Deal enough damage to cause an Elemental Explosion around the enemy.
