[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43984560/3a98d177cf371e627ef4ad27dfb974524f1f8b14.png[/img] [h2]Greetings Sinners! It is truly a most blessed day, as the [b]Balance and True Torment Patch[/b] has arrived! Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this patch![/h2] The main focus of this patch is adjusting the way that the [b]True Torment Mode[/b] works. Ascending your save file and starting again will let you keep your weapons (including Mea Culpa), Figures, Prayers, Rosary Beads (with minimal exceptions) and a small number of other items. This will only work on saves that are Ascended after the new update. Existing saves will instead be updated to automatically include the new [b]Ultimate Torment[/b] challenge. [b]Ultimate Torment[/b] is a new challenge that is selectable when you Ascend your save. Selecting it will remove your weapons, Figures, Prayers and Rosary Beads, as it did by default before the update. This challenge cannot be turned off midway through your playthrough, so choose carefully! We have also added further file selection options when you Ascend a save, so that you are less likely to delete your save data. As we have changed the way that [b]True Torment[/b] works, we have significantly rebalanced enemies, bosses and individual challenges when playing on an Ascended save.
