NEW MAIN QUEST - The Corrupted Coven
- Some Mourians are trying to channel the power of the corruption. Nazhedja asks the party to join her in some of the deepest areas of the Underworld, looking for traces of her sisters.
- This quest includes some branching situations. You can skip some fights (even a boss!), and solve some conflicts using dialogues instead of weapons.
- The Corrupted Coven is the longest mission so far, and the last quest of Act 1. Anyway, you can keep playing The Waylanders even when you finish this quest!
- Quest requirements: The Corrupted Coven requires completing both Corruped Circle and Blood in the Woods.
NEW SIDE QUEST - The Agate Eye
- Nazhedja also wants to recover a lost artifact, the Agate Eye, while you’re exploring the underworld caves looking for the coven during the main quest. In wrong hands, it could cause a lot of damage.
- Quest requirements: This quest will trigger during The Corrupted Coven.
COMBAT TUTORIAL ADDED
- Learn the ropes of the combat system in our new interactive tutorial! Attacking, abilities, formations, equipment... Nytia will tech you the basics. Oh, and the tutorial also has been adapted to controllers!
- How to activate the tutorial: Find Nitya, the mourian trainer, in the deck of the Arbitor, during “Journey to Inisfail”.
OTHER CHANGES AND CLARIFICATIONS
- Tutorial: we've added the combat tutorial in the first quest of the game. But this won't be the only one in the game! We'll include additional tutorials in the future
- Map menu: we've updated all the locations-related images in the menu and in loading screens
- Codex: we've added 'Eye of Agate' entry in the Codex
- Known bug: some quests overlays the HUD. This will be fixed solved during the next week via hotfix
Update 0.27 (26 October 2020)

- Your choices and actions will have consequences: although we don't want to make any spoiler, depending on your success during the challenges, the final encounter on this loyalty quest will be different.
- Quest requirements: finish Corrupted Circle quest and talk with Amergin in the Vengeance.
NEW SECONDARY QUEST
- The name says it all: Wake the Ancient Dragon. This quest can be unlocked after completing The Cave of Eternity. You must complete a simple-but-epic task: slay a giant ancient dragon!
OTHER CHANGES
- Minor redesigns in texts and icons in context menus

KNOWN BUGS

Although these issues are not currently fixed, we are working on that. Thanks for your feedback and reports!

NEW MAIN QUEST - Corrupted Circle
This is the longest quest so far! This means, Corrupted Circle adds more time of gameplay, featuring 3 new maps in Dumbriga.
Some parts of that place could be explored in Xerion’s Corruption Quest, but now we’re opening the whole location for the first time.
Fuamnach's Tears
This is a map inspired in a real-life place from our land Galicia: Ezaro's waterfall. You'll love it.

Corrupted Circle is a selectable quest in the crow post, at the end of Back to Life, after the first time you visit The Vengeance. This quest is focused in Lugaid's story arc.

This secondary quest can be activated during Corrupted Circle main quest. Would you find the lost treasure?

- Sometimes, a bug happened during Fateful Encounters: players teleported to an infinite void when they continued after a game over on a Fateful Encounter. It’s fixed.
No update next week
- 8 updates in 8 weeks. 2 months since the Early Access release. This requires a lot of energy (and some magic). There won’t be update next week. Our team is working hard, and they need a vacation. Sometimes, even the bravest Celtic humans need to rest.
But don't worry. We'll add amazing content during the following weeks! We have plans for new quests, more game improvements, some surprises and even new companions! Khaldun, Mal and Rea are eager for new adventures.
Update 0.21 (7 August 2020)
0.21 update features a new Fateful Encounter called There’s a surge in the flow of corruption...
- This is a challenge combat map focused in narrow paths, roadblocks and ranged enemies, with a miniboss battle. Follow a full-of-obstacles valley with corrupted enemies and get some new loot!
- You'll be able to play this Fateful Encounter after finishing Xerion’s Corruption Quest.
- Formations progression improved
Formation talent tree has been improved: level up gives you formation points. You can use them to choose talents that improves your formation abilities. For each ability, you can choose between two different variants.
- Your characters will gain formation points on each level, except for level 1, 3 and 9.
For some time during Early Access, we'll unlock both formations for each character at level 3. So, you can try and enjoy them since the very beginning of the game. Formations are funny, and you can even combine the two formations of one specific character to create combos. Just experiment with formations! Nettle Cavern is a good place to do that.
- Having two formations at level 3 won't be a permanent feature. In the future, you must reach a higher level to unlock formations.
- Also, we've fixed some bugs related to this, so the formation system is now properly working.
- More voicelines added
- Added some new voicelines during Back to Life (during the combat segment)
Major bug fixed
-Fixed a bug that caused some problems and reset all attribute point assignation each time the player opened the menu.
