Patch 14 is now live (as of 21st August, UK Time). Please find full patch notes below.
An important note: This patch includes a simplified process for redeeming the free reward content for full-price purchasers (two Sealstones). You no longer have to collect them from a chest. We wanted to make this process as simple as possible for players, and therefore the Sealstones are now directly granted upon starting or loading a game.
Thank you for your continued support and feedback.
1. Systems & Controls
Sealing Stone Distribution:
Removed chests. The two Sealing Stones are now directly granted upon starting or loading a game.

Input System Refinement:
Internal input handling systems improved for Attack, Guard, Dodge, Movement, and Skills.
2. Quests, Events & Map

Ulke Event Fix:
Resolved an issue where a wall prematurely disappeared prior to accepting Ulke's event.
"Machinations of the Abyss" Event Fix:
Expanded the interaction radius with Cullen for more stable dialogue triggering.
Swamp Layout Rework:
Relocated the entrance to the Swamp Encampment directly outside the cave exit for smoother progression.
3. Balance & Encounters
Additional Monster Ambush Encounters (~20+ Groups Added):
Chapter 1: Added ambush groups around caves, main roads, dungeon entrances, and rare chest locations (Eser Fragment Shrines, High-grade Upgrade Materials, etc.).
