Lords of the Fallen version 1.022 Patch Notes

Update 1: Offerings of Orius – Out Today

Spell Pack #2 – The second of our two post-release Spell packs lands today, and includes the arena-devastating Immolation, Brother Knight’s Radiant Shield Throw, and the ability to shoot skin-piercing icicles from your fingertips.
New Projectiles – Give the gift of Blood Vomit this holiday, one of three new projectiles, alongside Explosive Mines and Frost Worms.
New Boss Weapon Abilities – Up until now, the Lightreaper’s Dual Blades, the ol’ Pieta and Elianne sword combo and the stick had secret abilities. But seeing how popular these have been, we quickly got to working on adding secret abilities to ALL boss weapons, including an eruption of bouncing flame from the Abbess’s Greatsword, and the power to shoot a torrent of burning blades with the Father of Misery’s Greathammer. But… you will have to perform certain ‘tasks’ in order to unlock these devastating secret attacks.
Holiday Decorations – Yes, even the heinous hordes of Adyr take the time to spread a little seasonal joy, lovingly bedecking the Vestiges they patrol so vehemently in festive decor!

SteamDeck

Online functionality is now fully operational on SteamDeck.

Balancing (PVE-focused)

Stomping on drowners, hounds, and sparrows now instantly kills them.
Braided Ring: Summoned allies can use more ranged attacks before disappearing. The ring used to add +5, but now adds +10 with this change.
Pendant of Atrophy: Umbral sorceries can be cast with insufficient mana, but at the cost of wither damage. Equipping this amulet now also reduces your wither health regain rate when you deal damage. Withered health cost increased.
Umbral Eye of Loash: While charging a heavy attack, all damage is received as wither damage, and your posture cannot be broken. Equipping this eyeball now also reduces your wither health regain rate when you deal damage.
Umbral Eye of Lydia the Numb Witch: Use ranged weapons without ammunition but at the cost of withered health. Equipping this amulet now also reduces your wither health regain rate when you deal damage.
Hurt reactions sometimes triggered in the wrong direction. This is now fixed.

Bosses

Now the trio in the dark spot waits more diligently for the player to be at the exact arena space before triggering the whole combat.
The Sundered Monarch boss encounter has received a full revamp and, as a result, it is more challenging. Achieved without tweaking his HP or damage output, pure behavioral upgrade. It’s tougher.
Improved the hitboxes of the following bosses to better support throwable weapons: Dervla, Sundered Monarch, Lightreaper, Cleric, Hushed Saint, Reinhold, and Spurned Progeny.
Enhanced the combat camera behavior to prevent looking down when being close to a target.
Lightreaper could sometimes get out of bounds in one of the encounters, leading to him just leaving the fight.

AI

Fief of the Chill Curse: Adjusted and added leashing volumes.
Manse of the Hallowed Brothers: Received additional leashing volumes and added new ones.
Added leashing volumes for all enemies at the Cistern. Also adjusted two triggers to account for edge cases in which enemies would be unresponsive if you traverse the level backward.

Changed navlink position for better navigation going down one of the platforms of Pilgrim’s Perch.
Added nav modifier volumes to avoid the AI from taking a dangerous path and getting stuck in the Cellar of the Manse.
Added nav modifier volumes to prevent Umbral enemies from getting stuck with collisions in the Cellar at the Manse of the Hallowed Brothers.
Added additional AI blocking volumes at Redcopse to avoid Umbral enemies spawning above dangerous collisions. We want our AIs to be safe, or they might resort to their syndicate against our Level Designers.
Tower of Penance: Adjusted and added leashing volumes.
Skyrest Bridge: Adjusted and added leashing volumes.
Adjusted spawning boxes for the enemy encounter before the Lamphunter area at Fritzroy’s Gorge.
Applying wither damage to Fortunatrix enemies sometimes did not cause them to trigger aggro on the player. Now they always react properly.

Umbral

Tweaked the distance of Soulflay vs. UI icon. In some cases, the interaction icon appeared, but the Soulflay was not triggering the desired effect. Now they match in all cases.
Fixed offsetted particles that could sometimes occur on Soulflayable umbral bellies (containers).
Fixed offsetted particles that could sometimes occur on Soulflayable doors.
Fixed a bug in which axiom items would sometimes fall through the umbral ground under certain conditions (while transitioning), making them only pickable in axiom.

Level Design

Abbey of Hallowed Sisters: Tweaked existing outer collision boxes to ensure they match the invasion fog walls.
Empyrean: Tweaked existing outer collision boxes to ensure they match the invasion fog walls. This follows a code request to improve disconnection during host/invader connection.
Lower Calrath: Tweaked existing outer collision boxes to ensure they match the invasion fog walls. This follows a code request to improve disconnection during host/invader connection.

Collisions

Blocker fixed in Lower Calrath in the Smelter tower, where the player was getting stuck in a small area.
The player could get in and out of the game at the Abbey of the Hallowed Sisters and get a bit stuck. Also, it could get floaty and have collision issues due to collisions, so blocking volumes were added to improve and block.
In Abbey of the Hallowed Sister, there was a corpse with the wrong collision. The collision has been removed and placed manually with structure detail so it doesn’t block the pick-up.
In the Cistern, an AI could get on top of the collision and get stuck while doing the charge attack.
There is a spot in Lower Calrath where the player can get stuck a bit due to a corpse on top of a table with block-all collision preset. The collision preset has been changed to structure detail, and now the player can move freely at that spot.
The waterfall cave at Pilgrim’s Perch had a rock with block-all that messed with the player’s navigation. The collision preset has been changed to structure detail so it doesn’t interfere with navigation, but the player can’t overlap with the rock.
Added blocking volumes to Fritzroy’s Gorge to improve navmesh and prevent enemies from getting stuck after falling in certain places.

In response to community feedback, you now have the option to disable damage output numbers from the settings menu.
