• Fixed a long standing issue where the players clothing would sometimes stretch in a random direction

• Fixed an error that would cause the summoning limit to be ignored

• Fixed some save corruption issues

• Optimized game data layout. This means that update sizes will be smaller. Especially when they have few changes

• TASK: Hunt for the Wyrddeer should now be fixed. If it doesn't appear, go further away from the spawn point (it's easiest to just teleport to the Horns castle) and back, and it should spawn (at night, of course).

• Some story-based NPC deaths fixed.

• Parrying Dagger, Blackwater Gloves and Abyssal Heir Gauntlets are no longer consumable.

• Restoring Order and Forge Extinguished Quests should now be fixed. We are working on a patcher that will fix the state for you if you have already killed all the targets.

• Fixed Arthur dialogue post Sarras reflecting wrong choice

• It should no longer be possible to break duels with multiple damage instances killing a target at the same time, bypassing duel safety.

if you ever modded, or might mod in the future. We would like to remind you that using mods on the default branch is not supported and will cause game breaking crashes preventing you from continuing the game. We cannot fix this as the mods for this version corrupt the games memory breaking completely random systems in unpredictable and undetectable for us ways. We will be adding a popup telling you this in a future version. We will not check bug reports from your game if you continue anyway.
If you used mod installers such as vortex to mod the default branch (NOT MONO), just removing all mods using vortex does not fix your game as it has already added the mod loader which is what breaks the game. you have to go to your game installation folder and remove the Bepinex folder you will find there. only then will you have actually removed mods. you can get to your installation folder by right clicking your game on steam > manage > browse local files

For users modding it manually you know about the existence of the Bepinex folder and you need to remove it as well if you modded the default game

The week has passed, and as announced…

Since our 1.0 release in May, we’ve been working a lot on ongoing patches, fixes, optimizations, and general improvements across all platforms - and this work will continue, as there are still things we can do better. But our “content” part of the team was focusing on this expansion, and we are extremely proud of their work! It is also important to highlight the input of our amazing beta testers, providing valuable feedback, reporting bugs, and doing all the other important stuff to help us deliver the best quality of Tainted Grail possible. To our playtesters, to everyone who played the game, to content creators and media - a huge THANK YOU for appreciating our work, spreading the word, and helping the game thrive!

This expansion is our biggest post-release milestone so far, and we can’t wait for you to dive in (pun intended) and explore the Sanctuary. Watch the release trailer to see what’s coming!

We have shared advanced access to some of the content creators, and the first videos are in! You can see them below, along with some highlight quotations: 

And just in case you’ve never heard about the Sanctuary of Sarras, this is our first full-fledged expansion for Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, with a completely new storyline, a new zone to explore and 10-15 hours worth of new content!

You will enter the titular sanctuary, a realm shaped by the deep sea, full of ancient structures and naval creatures. Follow the trail of Nimue and the deserters who challenged King Arthur. Piece together the truth behind their disappearance and Merlin’s horrible retribution.

The expansion offers a lot of new additions, such as 4 boss fights, 12 regular enemies, over 20 dungeons and interiors, as well as more than 100 items, including armor, melee weapons, bows, rings, amulets, spells, relics, and more. Explore carefully to find them all!

To fulfill our most sacred tradition, enjoy a batch of fresh Sanctuary of Sarras screenshots!

1. You have to have the expansion purchased.

2. You must have Cuanacht (act 2) unlocked.

3. You need to watch the cutscene that plays when entering Cuanacht city (the awakening in Yvain Mansion).

4. Place a campfire (Q) and talk to Black Annis. She should give you the quest that leads to the Sarras Chapel dungeon in Cuanacht.

5. Track the quest and go to the entrance of Sarras Chapel in southern Cuanacht, near the water. Below are screenshots of this place on the map, as well as the entrance itself. It’s very near to the Horns of the South entrance.

6. The dungeon quest will guide you into the new region: Sarras.

If you were debating whether to jump into Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, this is the best time! To celebrate the release, you can grab the base version of the game with a 30% discount for a limited time. This is the biggest discount since the 1.0 launch.

You can also get the Adventure Pack (base game + expansion) and the Excalibur Edition for a full Tainted Grail experience (base game + expansion + Supporter’s Pack). The Excalibur Edition comes with a 5% discount on top! 

Aaaaaand in addition to all that, we've also added Community Items on Steam! Here's what's available:

• 9 trading cards (those who played the game before should already have some of them unlocked!)

• 1 to 5 level badge + a foiled badge

• 9 emoticons (available in the Steam Points Shop)

• 3 profile backgrounds (available in the Steam Points Shop)

Enjoy!

We wish you the most pleasant journey and smooth sailing through the mysterious Sanctuary of Sarras! Equip your favorite gear (but prepare to loot a lot of new ones), and start the adventure today! There’s A LOT to uncover!

In the meantime, we’ll still be on high alert for any possible bugs and fixing them ASAP, as well as implementing any needed improvements to the game. Keep your feedback coming, and join our Discord[discord.gg] to stay updated on our work!

To end with, we have some good news for Xbox & PlayStation players: with today’s update, we managed to significantly reduce the frequency of crashes on both consoles. We’re also working on another fix that should slightly improve FPS on consoles, and will hopefully be ready in January!

Cheers, and thank you for being with us!
