Welcome back to the campfire, Rebels. Our Wizards have been busy behind the scenes and we’re ready to bring you a suite of fixes, tweaks and general improvements. This has been powered by your feedback, whether in the Discord, on social media or over on Reddit.
Thank you to all Rebels for your support and feedback - Helping us to fix issues and identify improvements to make Talamh a better place. Get back into the action now, and don’t forget to head to Discord where you’ll also find Rebels on all platforms to team up with, and additional Community Challenges.
Our latest patch brings a lot to Talamh, including:
Changes
The Corrupted Biomes modifier is now available by default when you unlock Mystic Ordeals - meaning you don’t have to unlock Custom ordeals to disable them. The Boss Rush modifier also unlocks right away.
You can now take TWO players into Raken’s Tutorial - play nicely with each other, now…
The Campfire Craft ability has been upgraded - because the powerful Ritual upgrading has become the Meta, we’re making sure all options give you a great boost
Quick Restart now helps you get back into the fight quickly - in the run information screen, Rebels can now jump straight back to the Hub or quickly restart a new run with the same parameters (you’ll need to have the crystals to re-purchase Trinkets or Inspirations, and it will let you know what that cost is)
Companion Re-Spawning - when they fall into a pit, companions will now respawn like the player does, reappearing at the player’s location to fight the good fight once again!
Corrupted Biomes are visible on the map from the start - allowing you to plan accordingly from the very beginning of your journey
Additional dash canceling - available now for Galandra's last hit of Sword Flurry, Karl's ground Skill, Throw mastery and Ironhead Rush, Brome's Mana Burst, and Cider's ground skill when held
