Version 1.5

Important Features

 * Corrupted Confinement: A new optional (mini) biome has been added, mirroring Prison Depths. Both biomes are now very short, thought as challenged areas with one cursed chest at the beginning.
 * Scroll Fragments: These are "quarters" of scrolls, called fragments, which began to appear at BC3+. Find four of them to make a whole triple scroll!
 * Recycling Tubes: A new meta upgrade, unlockable when beating the Hand of The King for the first time in BC1. Replace the starting gear with four set of 5 random items (melee, range, shield and two skills). Choose one.
 * The first part of Dead Cells can be very tedious without any skills and the stat points that come with it. We hope that this upgrade will help with that.
 * Explorer Instinct: A new rune, which reveal the whole map and its points of interest (scrolls, chest, merchants, etc.) when you've explored most of the level.
 * Fewer Curse Chests : While we do think it's great mechanic, being forced to open all the curse chests to not fall behind on the curve (BC3+) can be frustrating. The chance of random cursed chest in each level has also been updated.
 * New Tactic mutation: Crow's Foot
 * Dodge to place up to nine caltrops on the ground, damaging and slowing enemies.
 * New Tactic mutation: Networking
 * Stick an arrow in two or more enemies to make them share the damage they take.
 * New Tactic mutation: Tactical retreat
 * Dodging just in time slows nearby enemies and prevent them from inflicting malaise.
 * Colorless items with stat boosts now increase your highest stat dynamically. Highest base stat, before the bonus given by other items is taken into account.
 * Removed the possibility to equip two version of the same item. Think double boomerang or heavy turrets. Legendary items are not concerned by this restriction.
 * A Custom Mode option reverting this change has been added (locks achievements).
 * Added a Custom Mode option to increase the number of mutations equipable (locks achievements).
 * Community suggestion | Added a Custom Mode option to make every item colorless (locks achievements).
 * Community suggestion | Two new achievements, including one for beating Gigantus without taking a single hit.
 * Community suggestion | You now have to allow at least 20 items in the custom runs to unlock achievements.

Balancing

 * Community suggestion | Remove hard damage cap of 99999 damage, in order to stop penalizing heavy hitting weapons against bosses. Very much monitoring this change, as it could causes unforeseen issues.
 * Cannibal now pauses longer after it's third hit, giving you a new window of opportunity to strike.
 * The Guardian's Haven now directly leads to the Throne Room.
 * Community suggestion | Corrupted Power damage buff now scales with item level and quality.
 * Protector platform cost increased (which means less mobs around).
 * Great Owl of War blueprint drop rate increased
 * Maximum number of Knife Thrower on one platform decreased.
 * Sweepers platform cost increased (which means less mobs around).
 * Community suggestion | The bestiary of Prisoners' Quarters, Promenade of the Condemned and Ramparts have been tweaked.
 * Community suggestion | Scrolls spread in-between biomes has been slightly balanced to be more coherent with the difficulty of the level and to prevent some roads and biomes to be a clear better choice than its counterparts.
 * Community suggestion | Cleaver cooldown reduced and health points increased.
 * Community suggestion | Ice Crossbow now scales with Survival in addition to Tactics.
 * Community suggestion | Frost Blast now scales with Survival in addition to Tactics.
 * Ice Bow now dual-scales with survival in addition to Tactics. The idea behind green-scaling freezing items is to begin offering alternatives to shield in the secondary slot.
 * Community suggestion | Lightning Bolt doesn't scale with Survival anymore
 * Limited the spawn of Hammer to one per room instead of two.
 * Community suggestion | Advanced Forge upgrade cell cost divided by 2.
 * Community suggestion | Increased drop rate of blueprints dropped by Hammer.

 * Community suggestion | When unlocking an item at the Collector, the item now drops with a higher level and take your forge level into account.
 * Community suggestion | Prevent the laser eyes and the cristal shower from happening at the same time while fighting the Giant.
 * Community suggestion | Reduced Sweeper attack range.
 * Community suggestion | Added some invulnerability frames for Telluric Shock.
 * Community suggestion | The Shovel now repel all grenades in range.
 * Community suggestion | Librarians now have a more limited detect range.
 * Bosses skip their "tutorial" phase at BC1+. That means they're actually easier because they start with fewer HP, it's actually like you had beat their first phase without having been hit at all.
 * Alienation now reduce Malaise as well.
 * The resistance buff given by the Legendary Altars to the enemies around has been decreased.
 * Frantic Sword now inflicts critical damage if you have less than 50% of your life or at least 50% of your Malaise bar filled up.
