Each successful summit will award a stamp for completion. A total of [b]23 stamps can be collected[/b], corresponding to the number of DLC maps. [*] These work like regular achievements as well as in-game viewable stamps in your Alpinist's Cabin. They will pop into view once you acquire them. [*] If you have already completed a map, you will automatically have the respective stamp. [/list] [h2]Sleeve Pins[/h2] [list] [*] New cosmetic sleeve pins have been added. They can be collected by completing [b]new challenges[/b] found in the Great Alps. Be sure to check your Map for new collectibles. [*] There are a total of [b]11 new cosmetic sleeve pins to unlock[/b]. Once you acquire one, you can display it on your sleeve(s). [*] Accomplished mountaineers, and those of keen sight, will be awarded with pins to adorn your tweeds. [*] Once a pin has been awarded, you can find them on your Collected Pins board in the Alpinist's Cabin. Here you can [b]adorn them on your sleeves with Left Trigger / Left Click, or view them up with Right Trigger / Right Click[/b]. [*] These [b]pins will be unlocked permanently[/b], unless you delete the save file and remove their unlocks using the option found in Main Menu > Options > Misc Options > Delete Great Alps Unlocks. [/list] [h2]Flora and Fauna[/h2] [list] [*] During your adventure throughout the Great Alps, you can now find elusive collectible [b]Alpine flowers[/b], soaring [b]Great Eagles[/b], and elusive [b]Ghostly Goats[/b] appearing through the night. [*] Use your acquired mountaineering expertise to find and grab these elusive flowers, as they tend to grow in treacherous locations. [*] A keen eye is needed to spot both Great Eagles and Ghostly Goats. These will not appear on your map, so be sure to be on the lookout during your climbs. [/list] [h2]Monument of Sundown & Monument of Cruelty[/h2] [list] [*] Monument of Sundown & Monument of Cruelty will now unlock permanently [b]after collecting their respective idols[/b]. [u]These monuments are found on specific peaks listed below[/u]. Permanently unlocking these means that [b]they will also appear in new save files in You Fall You Die and Free Solo[/b] if you have unlocked their respective idols at least once. [*] As they are used as part of new challenges, they will appear on the following maps: [*] [b]Greenhorn's Top, Towering Vísir, Eldris Wall, Mount Mhòrgorm, and Solemn Tempest[/b]. [*] These monuments will automatically be unlocked if you have collected both the Idol of Sundown and Idol of Cruelty. [*][b]Note[/b]: Monuments on Greenhorn's Top are not used for any challenges and are simply in case of self-imposed challenges in Normal Mode, You Fall You Die, and Free Solo. [/list] [h3]Option to Delete new Alpine Unlocks: "Delete Great Alps Unlocks"[/h3] [list] [*] Found in Main Menu > Options > Misc Options > Delete Great Alps Unlocks. [*] Use to remove any Pin unlocks. [*] Use to delete the state of unlocks of Monuments of Sundown and Monuments of Cruelty. [*] Use to delete the "seen" state of animals in the Great Alps. [*] Note that some pins will unlock automatically at certain points during a save file if you have enough progress in it. [/list] [h3]Updates[/h3] [list] [*] Added an option to disable sunshafts / sun glare with a launch option. Running the game at lower resolutions would blow up the sunglare effect. To add this launch option, right-click the game in your Steam Library, go to Properties, add "[b]-nosg[/b]" without the quotation marks. [*] Restart map hotkey is now defaulted to 'Home'. [*] Increased volume stamina regain very slightly after leaving the hold. [*] Increased the effect of chalk very slightly while on volumes. [*] Drain speed on volumes very slightly nerfed. [*] Cracks balance gain nerfed very slightly. [*] The goat on the roof of the Alpinist's Cabin will now stay until Dunderhorn has been completed. [*] Added a few extra ice spots and holds on Mount Mhorgorm to better accommodate cruelty difficulty. [/list] [h3]Old Rekkja[/h3] [list] [*] Added 3 Crux names and a couple extra route tweaks / updates to make the map more balanced. [/list] [h3]Tutor's Tower[/h3] [list] [*] Added additional holds and alternate paths to make the map more balanced and less punishing since it's the first DLC map encountered. [/list] [h3]Bugfixes[/h3] [list] [*] Fixed a bug where you could infinitely crampon jump with Idol of Feathers active. This would trivialize a bunch of achievements. [*] Fixed a few slopes that you could stand on in Ullr's Chasm. [*] Fixed a bug with Alpine summits not counting towards peaks summited when in the permadeath cutscene. [*] Fixed some mesh issues and removed some invisible holds on Almáttr Dam. [*] Other minor fixes. [/list] [h3]Patch 1.9.0a - Hotfix[/h3] [list] [*] Fixed some visual issues with pins.

[*] Fixed a bug where pins were not visible in Great Gale maps. [*] Fixed some collisions on Ullr's Chasm. [*] Fixed an issue with Idol of Slopers. [*] Fixed some golden coat issues in the Alpinist's Cabin. [/list]
