Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault · published · build 23288059
Hello merchants,
Even the bravest dungeon crawler needs a break sometimes. Between dangerous treasure runs and managing the shop, Will deserves a little companionship - and now he can finally get it.
The Blob-Life Balance Update is now live in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, bringing adorable Bloblet companions, new shop upgrades, tougher challenges, fresh gear, and many many more as we continue the road through Early Access toward full launch later this year.
Collectible Bloblets are here! Complete special tasks to earn a brand-new currency used to adopt these stylish little companions, each with their own unique look and apparel.
Once they settle into your shop, they grant temporary bonuses like:
Increased relic value
Better customer tips
Additional helpful boosts for your business
Because honestly, everything’s better with a Bloblet around.
You are into boss encouters? Take a special run focused on power that’ll let you face the bosses sooner and learn a bit more about the story of each dimension… and they also reward you with new weapon aspects!
Check out new perk path and weapons including:
New Perk Path: Poison
This ailment will deal damage over time, and each tick increases its next damage, making it more dangerous the longer it stays active. However, Poison has a relatively short duration. You’ll need to keep reapplying it to maintain its growing power.
Blo-BuddyMeet your new companion: the Blo-Buddy which feels like an homage that will bring another part of ML1's flavour to ML2!This new long-range weapon is a small floating friend that follows you around (yes, it’s as cute as it sounds). It fires whenever you press the shoot button, letting you attack while performing other actions at the same time.
Think you’ve mastered the Vault?
In new Expert difficulty you can expect brutal encounters, punishing fights, and a serious challenge for experienced players!
