Today's patch is quite a large one where we have fixed a few bugs, improved the balance of the game and added two special state blessings which cannot be bought and can only be achieved by meeting specific requirements. However we are very excited to introduce the new content and fixes to the community!

Blessed are the Meek

Blessed are the Meek is a blessings bestowed to you by Truth who will increase your damage if your are on a level with a particularly under-powered weapon. We implemented this change to balance for players who received unfair or unworkable seeds due to a lack of base fire power. this also allows players to ride out weaker builds to a later stage in the game where they can acquire the damage at which blessed are the meek will no longer be active.

Simple Sinner

Simple sinner was created to encourage hardcore player and speed runners. After beating the first Holy Champion certain Faceless Ones (namely faceless Ones who don't have any blessings) will feel empowered and this resolve and inner strength will weaken future Holy Champions. This means it is now possible to beat the entire game without buying any blessings, this is of course very difficult.
