Varthos - Heir to the Throne changes
Patch Notes December 20th 2025, Early Access Version B-0.21.8-5633
As originally intended, from now on the Fireball does not only hit a single target but deals damage in a radius corresponding with the visuals (1,25m)
There was an issue that would sometimes keep the poison shot/projectile sound playing in a loop - should be prevented
WarCry Skill does not require standing still anymore, you can now execute it while running. Let us know what other skills need changes like that.
Some minor localization improvements for various languages based on your reports
There was an issue with the gender-specific adjectives for dropitems in german localization that should be fixed now (e.g. "seltenes Langstab")
Introduced cap/max values for various stats that would otherwise lead to gamebreaking results (we don't want to prevent theorycrafting or specialized builds but there was no control at all so far - we may raise these caps on higher difficulties later)
Magic Projectile damage type changed from physical to magical (subtype arcane)
In rare cases the temple entrance assets from the desert were spawned inside the temple dungeon - this should not happen anymore.
Increased the chance for higher rarity loot in treasure chests by 10%
Stacking weapon attack power exploit should be prevented from now on.
We have found a potential cause for the neverending loading screen issue that some players experienced, we are going to focus fixing it from next Monday on - that being said, the issue usually does not occur if you meet the minimum hardware requirements listed on the Steam store page.
