Patch 0.8.3 — Death Must Die News

TLDR: A lot of feedback has been about traversal and obstacles in the new act. To improve that, we have drastically reduced the obstacle colliders of the trees and the player collider, as well as improving light sources. An optional charm encounter has been added to 2 locations to allow completing the “Face Yourself” achievement, as well as a new rare location that gives +1 Dash slot as an alternative way to get the “Breaking The Rules” achievement. Status can now become Prime damage. Devotions now give damage to the chosen god. Bugs & Fixes.
