Sho’guul makes a chaotic return to the Undermine! And he brought a frien…emy?? What is dark without light? Yin without Yang? Enter Order, Primordial Impetus, demonic counterpart to her brother Sho’guul. Together they keep the universe in balance and only occasionally meddle in the affairs of mortals.
Both Sho’guul and Order can be encountered on your run and offer relics of tremendous power for a hefty price. Pay close attention to your Tendency if you wish to meet them.
New Content
Sho’guul, Opulent Demon
Raw, unfettered chaos! The source of all entropy! Sho’guul favors those with negative tendencies and will punish those who seek to wield his power. Sho’guul offers legendary Relics in exchange for a random affliction of curses.
Order, Primordial Impetus
Order brings structure to the anarchy of Sho’guul. Order invites those with positive Tendency into her domain. Be sure to bring Blessings, as you will have to trade them in exchange for Order’s powerful Relics.
Tendency
Tendency indicates the state of the world and can lean either Guulish or Ordered. Your actions and the items you pick up will change tendency and provide you with a chance of meeting either the demon Sho'guul or Order. Each of these demons has powerful items to offer you. Leave tendency to chance, or manipulate it carefully. The choice is up to you.
Reserves
Lightning items have been broadly reworked to use a new “Reserves” mechanic. Reserves is a special status that levels up as you deal lightning damage and then can be used in a variety of ways by your lightning-based items.
Gambling!
A special Gambling Room encounter will be discoverable once you rescue Black Rabbit. The Gambling Room has a 50% chance to replace the floor’s special encounter, if it spawns.

Balance Changes:

Imps can now only spawn 1 per encounter
Master of Axes and Swords now only spawn 1 weapon each.
Rain of Fire now does proper damage and spawns slightly further away from the player.
Conductor now has a range of 10.
Dark Damage no longer heals enemy Undead. Instead it does 50% damage. Dark Damage to friendly Undead will still heal them.
Lowered Noxx's tasks for level 2 and 3.
Lowered the cooldown of Noxx's Egghanim's ability.
Prism’s damage has been increased.
Escutcheon now restores armor to a follower when you pick up armor.

Hollowguard is now immune to knockback
The initial fire burst from Seer’s Blood no longer does friendly fire.
Other Changes:
Curse removal has been broadly reworked to “Descend or Remove” curses rather than completely removing them. Descending an Ascendent curse reduces its level by 1, and if it has no levels, then it will be fully removed. This change is meant to make Ascendent curses more meaningful and less trivial to deal with.
For example, if you have a Level 3 Frailty curse and drink a Holy Water, Frailty will be reduced to Level 2. However, if you have Arachnophobia (non-Ascendent), Holy Water will completely remove it as before.
There are still sources of powerful curse removal which will immediately destroy an Ascendent curse, regardless of its level.
Lasers have been reworked to be a lot juicier and more fun to use. You can typically move while casting lasers now. This has resulted in some nerfs, buffs, and general re-imagining of what things block beams as a natural consequence of the new system.
Rare and Legendary vfx have been juiced up.
Soulbound items can no longer be rerolled.
Gilding a combo item now gilds its relic or arcana components as well.
Bent Coil no longer drops a potion in Boss Rooms or Antechambers.

Achievements and gilding now trigger when you hit Terminus, rather than when you pick up the Weepstone. This lets you progress to the Well and still get credit.
The Crucible UI now scrolls if it contains more than the default amount of Hexes.
When you go over your max follower count, the lowest HP follower is now destroyed, rather than killed. This means that effects that trigger on follower death will no longer trigger by going over your max. This also prevents a whole class of lockups and infinite follower churn bugs.
Added a new type “Cracked” armor attribute for use by Shield of Quills.
The Journal now shows a Sticky indicator on your items
Added a crown to the Item Card to tell you if an item has been gilded.
