Moonlighter – Ver. 1.0.0.5 (Friends and Foes Update)

  • Release date: February 13th 2019 (Europe, North America)
  • Patch notes:

Companions
We have developed 9 new familiars. To get them, you need to kill a particular enemy type 10 times. Then, a special Egg will appear! After 3 days, the egg will hatch inside your farm – and your new friend is going to be ready for action! Each familiar has different mechanics. They can damage enemies, restore your life, get items for you, act as an additional chest and more

Minibosses
We have added 8 minibosses! They will appear as guardians of the dungeons, securing gateways leading to deeper rooms. They will emerge at the end of the first and second floor in each dungeon.

Zenon’s Campfire
From now on, when you visit the dungeons at night, Zenon will be there, sitting by his campfire, ready to tell you some stories of old, about Rynoka and Moonlighter’s world. Those tales will be unlocked with the game’s progression.

Tomo Stories
We’ve modified and added more lines for Tomo. They should explain her relationship with Will better, shedding some light on their mutual past.

Banker Information
We have introduced a lot of special warnings and UI changes to avoid the Banker “stealing” your money. A lot of you forgot to revisit that mustachioed capitalist and were losing the investment.

Sorting Items
We’ve added a sorting method inside the inventory.

Get the Broom!
We’ve added the possibility to get the Broom™ from Le Retailer (if you’ve managed to lose it somehow!). The Broom™ is important for getting some achievements – so we hope you’re gonna like that little feature!

Prices Update
We’ve added a new system in the Shop to better inform whenever Item’s price gets updated.

General Fixes:

  • Improved item “picking-up” mechanic. Items should no longer “fly away” from Will
  • Damage absorption buff (orange health bar) gained from sleeping in the upgraded bed was increased in the New game+
  • Fixed issue where some weapons could not be enchanted beyond the first upgrade
  • Supporter Bow no longer can be enchanted over and over
  • Fixed issue where Wishlist could display wrong information about ingredients when an item was added to it at the Witch
  • Fixed issue with ingredients for weapon enchanting
  • Fixed minor issue with Hawker item prices
  • Fixed minor UI issues at the Witch and Wishlist
  • Fixed minor localization issues

Dungeon Fixes:

  • Desert dungeon pillars should no longer lock the player in the dungeon room
  • Hermit Slime no longer can mix up corrupted dungeon items in the character’s inventory
  • An issue where Bard Puppet could become invincible (flying golem from the Desert Dungeon) is now finally fixed
  • Character no longer gets stuck when opening a chest when the Wanderer (green monster) is about to destroy it
  • Golem Dungeon Boss’ hand slam attack should now follow the character properly
  • Fixed issue where 5th Dungeon Boss did not receive damage from arrows during one animation
  • Fixed Forest Dungeon Boss’ leap attack damage

Shop Fixes:

  • Fixed issue where Will could get stuck in the shop not able to open counters, sleep or exit through the door
