• Discover two new amulets that will enhance your experience, whether you’re struggling, or you want a tougher challenge.
• Improved inventory items:
  • Breakable Amulets will leave behind Leftovers, which can be sold back to The First One.
  • Memory Moulds can be reused to repeatedly listen the lore-discovering dialogues with Vladyslava.
• Improved the Map with various additions. New icons added for Upgrades, Collectibles (Adelinka’s Earrings), and Locked/Unlocked states for Doors and Flesh Walls.

Moonscars – Ver. 1.5.004

• Release date: ???
• Patch notes:

• Gilded enemies reworked: Instead of a permanent resistance to sword attacks, Gilded enemies now will have a magic shield that will be destroyed by a single Spell. Once the shield is broken, the enemy will receive weapon damage as normal.
• Lajos Boss got nerfed and also will be affected by the new Gilded magic barrier. This should make fighting him more intuitive, and feel less like grinding ichor.
• Parry system update: adjusted which enemy attacks can or cannot be parried. The unparriable attacks will now have a Blue Eye effect for clarity.
• Fixed many freezes when fighting some large enemies.
• Chokran Boss nerfed a bit.
• Childspawn Spell improved: now it will properly attack airborne units and bosses.
• Fixed a progress blocker in Earth Bowels, where a door wouldn’t open after a broken mirror.
• Other miscellaneous fixes and performance improvements overall

• Additional notes: none.

• Spells mana cost, upgrade costs and timings are better balanced.
