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.

  • 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!
