Bugs:

  • Prevented "moon-walking" while going to the map exit

  • Vamprisim no longer procs spikes when using a projectile.
  • Vamprisim no longer creates two gems when using the pickaxe.

  • Fixed a glitch where you could add 0 poison and then it would go down into the negatives
  • Fixed a glitch where curses could be stuck beneath other items and then they couldn't be placed
  • Fixed a glitch that allowed for "cramming" - where you could smash multiple items into a single slot with heavy items
  • Fixed a glitch where the shield spirit would not work with Hercule Pavise
  • Fixed a glitch where vampire bats could still heal when you dodged their vampire attack

Ran into an issue where coal wont refresh dueling sword? Despite it being highlighted in the row. Seems like it should work based as written.

Found all of the legendries. Rapier is absolute trash. Make it one energy. The three legendries are: Rapier 2 energy 8 base damage +7 damage for the combat if you take damage, Doru 1 energy 1 base damage +14 damage for the combat per turn and Robot Toy 1 damage per turn +2 damage per connected manastone.

Apparently Robot Toy procs spikes, not sure if that's a bug or not.

BUG: Every time I take a relic with a bow + arrows, the arrows no longer fire. Just started playing today. Have replicated the bug three times with different relics/bows/arrows.

Oof. Duct tape not working with cleavers is another side nerf.  BUT I WILL STILL CLEAVER ON

Duct Tape still works with Cleavers! They just won't trigger themselves!

Oh! Thank you for the clarification. So not really a nerf. Cleavers are still a-go
