Welcome everyone to a very spooky update preview! In this preview you will learn all about UnderMine’s 0.3.0 Cursed Update which will be releasing on the 28th of this month. We’ve included a few features in this update that we have been thinking about for quite some time, as well as a slew of new items. Fair warning, if you don’t like spoilers you should stop reading here.
Sho’guul, opulent Demon
Sho’guul has made his presence known, but finding him is a mystery. The door to his lair will only reveal itself under certain, mysterious conditions. Conditions that are unknown to the residents of the UnderMine. However, if you are lucky enough to find him, he will offer you a tempting proposition.
Legendary Relics
Legendary Relics are more powerful than normal relics and often significantly change the gameplay of a run. For example, the Karmic Scale will change the peasant’s health to 5, and all healing and damage to 1. Any effects that change maximum health are ignored.
Legendary Relics can only be obtained in Sho’guul’s lair, they cannot be transmuted, and they come at a steep price. Every Legendary has a custom cost in curses. So, be careful to chose ones that work with your build, or you may catch yourself cursing your fate.
NEW RELICS
We’ve added 20 new relics. Some legendary, some normal, and some new combinations as well. There have been some changes to old relics as well. For example, some old relics have become legendary.
