Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus – Ver. ??? (Ver. 1.0.4 in Japan)

  • Release date: November 20th/21st 2024
  • Patch notes:
Bug Fixes
  • Omamori Healing Fix: Fixed an issue where the Elegance and Progress Omamori healing effects would conflict with each other when both were equipped simultaneously.
  • UI Navigation Fix: Potentially fixed an issue causing all UI elements in menus to become unselectable at random, especially for console and controller users.
  • Forge Scroll Camera: Fixed an issue where the camera for the Forge Scroll would not show the player when interacting with the scroll.
  • Fixed an issue where newly received items occasionally would not disappear in the Japanese language version, specifically for Chomper Daruma and Kodama Charcoal notifications. This was due to an unrelated issue causing lag during the fade-out of item gain notifications, particularly affecting UI blocks that are localized before appearing after the item received pop-up is deactivated.
Adjustments
  • The Samurai Stag Beetle’s entire body now glows when it attacks, making it easier to recognise.
  • Kiri Kiri Bozu:
    • Health increased from 30 to 33. Phase two now triggers when health reaches 15 (previously 10).
    • Slam Attack Telegraph: Kiri Bozu no longer tracks the player’s x-axis during the telegraph of the phase two slam attack.
    • Added additional visual effects to better indicate when the boss will begin dealing collision damage.
  • Asahi:
    • Asahi Hitbox: Increased Asahi’s hitbox size to better reflect the sprite.
    • Asahi Laser Lock on time: Asahi’s laser now locks on slightly sooner, giving players a bit more breathing room to dodge.
  • Sakura Shogun:
    • Hitbox Adjustments: Increased the hitbox size of both the Sakura Shogun and the mask satellites to better reflect where damage can be dealt.
    • Shogun Clone Projectiles: Projectiles now increase in speed over time, starting with a slower velocity to prevent players from being insta-hit when too close to an attacking clone.
    • Shogun Projectiles Bat Icon: All Shogun projectiles now show a bat action icon when close enough to the player.
    • Sword Metronome Attack: Decreased the travel speed of the metronome attack and increased the sword arc travel time. The sword no longer clips into the ground during this attack, improving visibility for the player.
    • Laser Attack Changes: Lasers no longer reset the player’s position on hit but deal a pip of damage. The lasers start in a static rotation and then rotate clockwise after the telegraph. A new visual effect was added to indicate the laser direction during the telegraph.
    • Shogun Health Adjustment: Shogun’s health has been slightly decreased in phases 1 and 2 to make these phases pass more quickly on subsequent attempts.
    • Shogun Satellite Destruction: Grapple action can now destroy Shogun satellites completely without needing a secondary staff hit on vulnerable satellites.
Other
  • Game Completion Percentage: Refactored the backend calculation of game completion percentage to improve accuracy.
  • Improved Platforming Quality of Life Improvements:
    • Added a bump lantern before Kiri Kiri Bozu to aid new players during attempts.
    • Slightly modified the ground colliders leading up to Kiri Kiri Bozu to assist new players in navigating the platforming section.
    • Dodomeki Room Adjustment: Added an Armakillo and bump lantern to prevent a potential softlock in Uzumaki Cave for players attempting sequence breaks. A spike pit lantern has been repositioned for easier traversal.
  • Camera Adjustments:
    • Boss Fight Camera: Cameras in the Sakura Shogun fight now include parallax scrolling instead of a static camera.
    • Camera Hitches: Smoothed out jarring camera hitches in the following areas:
      • Lower Kitsune Burrows, near the arena.
      • First floor of Imperial Castle.
  • Other Changes:
    • Accessibility Option Change:

      Renamed the “Infinite Mana” accessibility option to “Infinite Tea” in English.

    • Samurai Stag Bug Trap:

      Added additional visual effects to indicate when the trap is aggroed in Uzumaki Cave.

Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus – Ver. 1.1.1 (Ver. 1.0.2 in Japan)

  • Release date: August 29th 2024 (North America, Europe) / August 30th 2024 (Japan)
  • Patch notes:
  • Dotted lines have been added to the map in certain places to outline room connections between visual gaps in the map.
  • Jorogumo’s “Bite Collider” has been animated to better reflect the area in which a player would expect to take damage.
  • For controller analog stick inputs, the bat aiming direction now locks in the direction of your most recent input if no input has been made, rather than matching exactly your input and lack thereof.
  • A deadzone was also added to avoid unwanted directional inputs.
  • Fixed an occasionally persistent hurtbox with Jorogumo’s head. When certain animations were interrupted there would be a hurtbox that would occasionally persist when it wasn’t supposed to.
  • A few solid ground tiles are added in the last section of the Asahi chase to prevent players from wall rolling into spikes that are offscreen.
  • Input icons for controllers were updated to more clearly show the directional input arrows.
  • Fixed a game-breaking bug in all shops that sell Omamori Straps. If all items in a shop were bought before the Omamori Strap, and if the player proceeded to buy it, the player controller would freeze completely and not register the Omamori strap as bought.
  • Fixed coming back to save file with an infinite loading screen.
  • Fixed a variety of issues coming from the same Daruma Shop conversation bug.
  • Map Icons have been updated for better color coded clarity.
  • Nerfed Providence Omamori effects to the following:
    • 0.1 staff damage increase per 300 Fox Fire, with a maximum 1 staff damage increase.
    • Providence Omamori stops increasing staff damage at 3000 Fox Fire.
  • Minor Set dresing improvements in certain scenes.
  • Fixed firewall tips deactivating prematurely in the Hashihime boss fight when their respective fire wall travels offscreen.
  • Tree of Blessing text now reads: “Pay 1 fox fire to read a blessing slip from the Tree of Blessings
    and refill your kettle?” in English only.
  • The grapple “field of view” has been narrowed slightly so grapple objects right above you within a certain range are not in the field of view when an up input has not been made
  • Fixed Hitodama in the arena in Uzumaki Cave not being able to reach the player if the player is standing directly next to the bottom right gate.
  • Players were saying that the reward for the “Fragile Egg” quest felt underwhelming and we kind of agree, so we are buffing the “Elegance” omamori by giving it a new passive effect while equipped.
    • New passive: Bō will now heal at a rate of 1 petal per 3 seconds while hovering uninterrupted with the Kabuto Wings.
  • Fixed Hover VFX still being active occasionally when Bo is grounded
  • VFX applied when hovering while Elegance Omamori is active.
  • Minor update was applied the the Kitsune Burrows map to better indicate pathways forward.
  • Improved Japanese, Chinese Simplified, and Chinese Traditional translations for Minori’s dialogue near Kitsura’s entrance in Midori Forest.
  • The ground that blocks players from going into Kitsune Burrows near the exit of Kitsura’s boss room now disappears if the Fox Wedding quest has been completed.
