CARDINAL QUEST 2 PATCH 1.04 randomnine

Hi all! Another mini patch has gone up on Kongregate today, introducing two big new features. Scavengers will now fight back (and drop cool gear!), and there are a few strange chests scattered around containing some strangely powerful things…

This update is pretty much tidying up loose ends and laying the groundwork for 1.1, which I’ll be putting together over the next month and writing about here – to the extent I can avoid spoilers! I’m hoping Legendary items will add a bit more confusion and mystery to the game now that it’s so well documented. There are several in the game now and I’ll absolutely be adding more. 🙂

This week I’m finalising the Android release with the publisher. I’ll be submitting an iOS update to 1.04 shortly as well (which will likely take a week or two to filter through iTunes).

1.04 patch notes below.

GENERAL TWEAKS

Rebalanced experience system (in short, % XP bonuses are now a bit more effective)
Flash version can now load when not in focus

CLASSES AND SKILLS

Thief now starts with an additional Sleep Powder

ITEMS

Increased minimum damage of all Axes
Added a selection of super-rare Legendary Items
Legendary Items come from special chests, which are more common on higher difficulties
Added a new spell dropped by Scavengers

MORTAL PERILS

Scavengers will now fight you

ACHIEVEMENTS

Added two new Scavenger-related Achievements

Great and fun update mate, killing scavengers can benefit you in early levels but will become something to greatly fear in later levels. Also I’m liking the buff given to axes.

Did you change Judgement to show how much HP you will regain in this update? Don’t remember seeing that.

Hoping for more goods in September.

Awesome update, if a little bugged from what I’ve seen.

I challenged a scavenger on a Normal run. Apparently he keeps several scrolls of summoning on his person, and I lost my ankh trying to defeat him.

I found two legendary chests on floor 5 of Act 1 and picked up a Dark Rosary from the second one. Most of the effects work as intended. However, when picking up health orbs, the text shows +8 health, but I only get +2 health when I look at my character stats. Also, the Dark Rosary’s buff text says it breaks at 1 HP, but when I was leeched to 1 HP, it didn’t disappear (though it did stop leeching as long as I stayed at 1 HP).

I have not run into the rest of the updated content yet, but I wanted to leave this here before I could forget about it.

Heya!

darkflame: I didn’t change Judgement. Glad you like the update and yep, I’m at work on the next one 🙂

Questcomm: Cheers! Dark Rosary took a lot of hacking about and I guess I broke a few things 🙂 I’ll sort that in a hotfix this evening.

Loving the update, made suicide mode very exciting where I got 3 legendary treasures in a run. I keep hearing reports of a legendary axe, can’t imagine the damage if it does exist haha.

All I wish for is that the “Cycle Target” to be used not just to aim at your enemies but to survey them by hiding your items, skills, and character profile so that you can see the enemies that are hidden at the bottom of your screen. That and making a “Legendary Hunter” achievement for getting every legendary in the game.

Hope for more greatness to come.

Great update, really enjoying it. I hope you take this game farther, Im excited to get it on my Android. Keep up the great work!

@questcomm I just found a spell from killing a scavenger, it summons 2 elementals for 125g, maybe thats what the scavenger is using, because I also encountered an elemental nightmare when attacking my first scavenger.

Cheers! Will do 🙂

Rengar: Sure, that’d be a cool achievement. 🙂 I’d like to add a Bestiary at some point that records the monsters you’ve seen and gradually collects data. I guess if I do that I can add a page on Legendaries too, and achievements for filling them out…

Hi! I really like your game, and this update just increases its (already high) re-playability.
Have you considered a way for melee users to start a fight with the scavenger?

ZOMG man, I’ve played the game on Kongregate and been checking Google/Amazon like literally every day since July. Just release it already!
