Hello, Travelers! Here are all the new content additions, balance changes, and fixes included in The Starless Path Update.
New Content
New Traveler – Cetus
A ranged warrior who wields the powerful Cold within his body. He accumulates Cold in his blood to unleash devastating burst damage and creates massive glaciers and icy zones to control enemy movement.

Cetus can be unlocked by digging through Piles of Snow.
