Welcome to 0.7.0 Duskfall! This is UnderMine 2's biggest update yet. Discuss these notes with other players and the developers on Discord!
The goblins have been busy! We’ve added a new starting zone called The Duskfall, a goblin-infested, subterranean wilderness, full of magic and danger. Stop by the Thimble Thicket and purchase some size-related items from the Wizardlings. Defeat the fearsome duo of Bul & Gogi and claim the key to reopen the Goldmine.
A peaceful tribe of forest dwellers known as Wizardlings have set up a marketplace in the center of The Duskfall. Known for their love of shrinking and growing things, the Wizardlings are happy to share their powers if you can afford them.
In goblin culture, the goblin who tames the biggest frog becomes chieftain. It’s no wonder then that Gogi is chieftain since he rides Bul, an ancient frog of gigantic proportions.
For this boss, we wanted something friendly to new players (since this is now the first boss) with very clear telegraphs and big sweeping attacks and small invulnerability windows to force the player to survive. The fight ratchets up as Bul’s health drops, so be on your toes!
Grim Crucible is a new end-game system that combines Heat and Summoning Stones and allows you to choose the challenge you want on your next run based on a series of Ascendent Hexes.
After completing your first run, you can unlock the hatch under Camilla’s office and access the Grim Crucible. As you complete Crucible runs, you will be rewarded with Grim Tokens, which you can use to level up your Crucible for ever greater challenge. Don’t be afraid of the grind, this mode is meant to give a long-tail challenge to those who seek it!

Grim and Bear It
Your first Attunement now costs no gold, and instead of taking a whole blessing, it simply Descends the chosen blessing by 1. The order in which you choose blessings has been reversed, so be careful!
Fusing gold cost has been removed
Meteors now move faster, have increased AOE, and spawn Iron on death
Shiva’s Guard is now a relic
Ice Armor Shards deal more damage
Capala’s base cost and base damage have both been increased
Added clamps to the amount of stats that the Consume action can siphon, allowing us to better control the scaling of things like Rapacious Tome
Smoldering Coal now ignites enemies on pathfind and multiplies your fire damage based on the number of ignited enemies in the room
Food now gives 2x resources when Embiggened and 0.5 resources when Debiggened
Items now build up chill instead of instantly freezing upon taking Ice damage
Shoguul's Ratchet no longer lowers your MaxMana (via things like Lapis Lazuli)
Bobo's Charge no longer does friendly fire when he's charmed
Mettle now has a 50 MaxHP pickup requirement. This means you cannot pick up a Mettle blessing through normal means unless you have at least 50 MaxHP
Regin’s 2nd ability now reads “Reach 50 Intelligence” and cannot be lost once you achieve it
Cruciferous Smidgen Toss smidgen count reduced to 3
Some Bubble rework:
Bubbles now switch to the team that popped them and do not do friendly fire. This means you can now use the bubbles in the Cruciferous fight to damage him and not yourself
The pop damage is only amplified by the incoming projectile damage if that projectile is owned by the player, which should really help prevent player oneshots
Bubbles have a fixed Recklessness stat, meaning their pop AOE is now much more in-line with their visual size
Fixed a bug with Grotesque that would cause you to slide across the ground after activating it
Fixed an issue with the way that modifiers applied by Remote Detonator were displayed in the Journal
Fixed some issues with transferring effects between your body and your ghost when dying in co-op
Spawn Table logic has been further improved (again!) in order to prevent rolling into a Hot Cross Bun before the table has been exhausted
Fixed some issues with the CaptureService (the Service that keeps track of which items have been placed on BR’s tables, in the Tomevault, etc) not resetting itself correctly when switching save files. Also, if you had sold modded relics to BR and then uninstalled those mods, you will no longer be “stuck” with tables that look empty (but that the CaptureService thinks are full)
Fixed a tagging issue that prevented you from cooking food that had been thawed
Hoarding Pilfers are now invulnerable once they jump out of the room, hopefully preventing some issues where the pilfer take damage over the wall, causing loot to get stuck in the wall
The Apparition now randomly chooses between living players each room, preventing an issue that would cause the Apparition to kill P1’s ghost
Fixed an issue in Crackle’s puzzle that would cause you to be chased by thunderbolts for the rest of the run
Fixed an issue with the Pathfind indicator not restoring itself correctly on load
Fixed an issue where floating, non-flying enemies couldn’t path correctly, since there was no NavMesh that accurately represented them
Improved how damage modifiers are applied, which fixes some issues around “bonus damage” (e.g. Clockwork) being able to deal more than 1 damage to targets with Normalized Health
Fixed an issue that would softlock if you if you tried to repeat the Vespiri sequence a second time by sequence breaking back in to the jail cell
Fixed an issue that would softlock if you if you tried to repeat the Vespiri sequence a second time by sequence breaking back in to the jail cell
Added some Ground colliders along the lip of the Down prefab so you have something to land on if you jump right on the edge of a down. This should help prevent some extremely rare, pixel-perfect cases of landing exactly on the lip and never confirming the land event
Boomerang charges are no longer managed by the boomerang projectiles dying, as this seems unreliable in mysterious ways. Instead, when the player moves rooms
Fixed an issue where rerolling a curse at an Altar doesn't stay rerolled if you leave the UI and return to the same Altar
Fixed a problem with Nullification sometimes disabling a relic’s “helper” status effect (e.g. Keyblade) instead of the relic itself
You can no longer select a Soulbound relic when paying a relic cost in Portimer’s shop
The engine now prevents you from rerolling stasised items, which should make this mechanic more reliable than the spotty checks we had all over the place before
Fixed an issue with blessings dropped by Holesome not actually giving you any stats
Fireblast no longer does knockback, since it could get you in a bad movement state by knocking you exactly straight up
Fixed some issues with followers unstunning too early when loading into a room already in an NIS (like boss encounters)
Fixed an issue that caused Familiar task progress to always be 0 when viewed in the Journal
Fixed some stat inheritance issues with Trifle’s Green eyeball
Some Potion results are now cached to prevent you from being able to cancel out of the Chooser and then be presented with more options
Fixed an issue with Dark Aetherdrift not showing correctly in the Journal
Fixed an issue with Blood Pact not working on any Bomb Relics past the one you had when you gained it
Blacklight Lantern now has a correct Purchase_2 cost, meaning it will no longer become free if you manage to get Blood Money in the Hub
Fixed an issue with Clockwork Lv2 that would grant immunity to *all* explosive damage, regardless of the source
Cleaned up some issues with the Flail Knight’s flail persisting when switch teams
Fixed some targeting issues making enemies think they aren’t in range to attack you when they actually are
Thresh is now unlocked by completing a special puzzle encounter in Halls of Dinn
Regin is now unlocked by completing a special puzzle encounter in the Arcande Sanctum
The skeleton in Crackle’s Puzzle now has 3 hp to prevent people from accidentally killing it before starting the puzzle

Ricochet indicators no longer show on player-controlled projectiles, in order to cut down on visual clutter
Tempestaria has been added to the arcana table
Mushroom debris no longer blocks beams
Increased the chances that BR’s slingshot gallery can spawn during a run
Button hotkeys have been enabled for keyboard
Canary is now better about not picking up golden food based on your Pickup Resources When Full setting
The weapons summoned by Regin now have a “charmed” hue to them to make them easier to distinguish from enemy weapons
Coming out of Grotesque is now instant (does not play your Cast animation) meaning you can instantly dodge on the very next frame

After opening the room that contains Din’s Skull, it remains open for future runs

Explosive damage against your Mana (e.g. you have Lapis Lazuli) now counts towards Clockwork’s ability unlock
Certain Load Tips are now gated behind requirements to avoid minor spoilers
