Conan Exiles 1.20 for PS4 Full Changelog, Read What’s New & Fixed

Conan Exiles update 1.20 is out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players. According to the Conan Exiles 1.20 changelog, the latest update brings half of the Pets Update, meaning you’re getting the Midnight Grove, the Jhebbal Sag religion and thrall hunger system. The pets system will next week. Apart from this, Conan Exiles version 1.20 patch also includes thrall hunger, which requires you to feed your thralls in order to keep them alive. The objective of this is to add nuance and flavor, not grinding.

Recently, an update was released which revamped the clan menu and removes the lag that shows up when locking onto an enemy. Unfortunately, since this patch, many players were experiencing a number of issues when trying to play the game. Today’s Conan Exiles patch 1.20 is expected to all these issues. Check out more details below.

Conan Exiles 1.20 Update Changelog for PS4 and Xbox One

HIGHLIGHTS

  • New Dungeon: The Midnight Grove
  • New offhand combat mechanics
  • New Specialist Arrows: Light Arrows, Tar Arrows, Poison Arrows, Ivory Arrows, Explosive Arrows, Healing Arrows
  • New thrall hunger mechanics

Thrall Hunger

  • The amount of time a companion can go on without eating, from fully fed to hungry, will be 7 days
  • Companions will be able to eat pretty much anything that’s even remotely edible
  • If you match thrall’s preferred diet, they will gain a bonus buff. This way, if you do care about the specifics of each companion type, you can get a temporary short-term advantage. You can still feed them whatever you want to prevent them from decaying. This also means you can buff your companions right before battle. A server setting (disabled by default) will allow you to make diet matching mandatory if that’s what you prefer
  • Food dispensers (Thrall Pot for thralls and Feedbox for pets) will push smaller amounts of food to each companion before moving onto the next companion. The net result of this is that all your companions will be more equally fed and you’ll need smaller amounts of food to reach them all
  • Food will decay very slowly when placed in food dispensers
  • There will be server options to enable/disable the feeding system separately for thralls and pets. There will also be server config parameters to adjust other aspects of the system, including if your companions should die when they are hungry or only be reduced in health. This means your server can adjust the system to a level of commitment/consequence that you want, including disabling it entirely

THRALLS/AI

  • Fixed a bug that would cause thrall health to reset to 100 HP
  • Thralls have now 50% increased health. That is to bring them in line with some of the greater pets and also make it more interesting to take a thrall out for exploration/hunting
  • Entertainer Thralls now provide buffs after having been on follow mode
  • The Crocodile boss near the N’batu’s Pack is no longer stuck and attacks the player
  • Conan Exiles update 1.20 fixed an issue where NPCs would stop aggroing after a player teleported several times.
  • Pets and Thralls that get stuck will now teleport back to the location they were deployed.

PURGE UPDATES

  • Conan Exiles 1.20 optimized database cleaning to remove inactive clans
  • Better randomization for Purge spawn options
  • Distracted Purgers will no longer get sidetracked by random Points of Interest.
  • Set initial purge countdown to 15 minutes

NEW CONTENT

  • Added new offhand combat mechanics
  • Added new Specialist Arrows: Light Arrows, Tar Arrows, Poison Arrows, Ivory Arrows, Explosive Arrows, Healing Arrows

  • Conan Exiles version 1.20 added the option to visually remove text on signs made by people outside your guild. You will only see it if you click on it.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

  • We have added the ability to use bait to force a specific result in fish traps. For example, if you want Unappetizing Fish, you can force that outcome with insects. Grubs will catch Exotic Fish. No bait means you get a random fish, which is the way they work in the Live servers.
  • Preservation box’s inventory space is increased. Food will not decay in them if there’s ice in the box
  • Beehives behave differently: They still collect honey over time, but Worker Bees and Queen Bees will produce a lot more honey than an empty beehive
