[2020] Chapter VI: The God's Herald

: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page [url=https://steamcommunity.com/ogg/269190/announcements/detail/2926741823426728231]here[/url].

Chapter VI is finally here with a new playable character, gorgeous environments and major performance improvements. We are also bringing a rework of the great dungeon: the Lighthouse from Solna Plains. This chapter is the last one before release!



New playable character available An unexpected character will join your team during this chapter, bringing the number of members on your team to 5. She will be useful but it is especially thanks to her atypical gameplay that she may surprise you!


Special Attacks Enjoy the power of three new Special Attacks coming this chapter:

• Daryon (unlocked when fighting the Conclave at Olphara Path);
  
• Ysoris (unlocked when fighting Oboros with Selene);
  
• Fallon (unlocked immediately after unlocking Fallon).

Note that if you already completed the part of the story that was unlocking the special attack it won’t be unlocked.


Major performance improvements We vastly improved CPU usage throughout the game, especially in cities and where the framerate had major CPU dips, there are also a lot of smaller GPU optimizations. We also reduced memory usage of the game and fixed multiple micro stuttering sources.




Difficulty System Rebalance The difficulty system has been rebalanced thanks to your feedback and should now be more progressive and have a better feel. We are still working on some bosses’ balancing, all your feedback are welcome, don’t hesitate to {LINK REMOVED}join our Discord!


Lighthouse Improvements The lighthouse has a first rework pass with fixes to the freezes and infinite loading issues. Floors upper than 50 are also now available, you can select them thanks to the new floor selection menu when entering the dungeon.

Note: To unlock a floor you need to complete once the past 10 floors.




Modifiers System We implemented a modifier system for lighthouse and on a long-term basis for the new game + option that we will add later at full release. On the lighthouse for example as you run deeper into the lighthouse there will be negative modifiers that will be added to the floors (increaseasing received fire damages, explosive effect on dying enemies, etc…), there is also lootable positive modifiers that can give you significant combat boost and/or items rewards; in the new game + negative modifiers will be added at each new run and you’ll be able to find positive ones through the game.




DLSS We previously announced DLSS for this chapter, sadly due to unplanned events we need to delay it a bit. It will come in the next few weeks so stay tuned! #RTXON
