PERISH Update #5 - Casting those bugs adrift with one hefty swordsweep!

Difficulty

• The enemy spawn rate changes considerably between Forgiving, Tough and Punishing difficulty levels
• Punishing spawn rate is increased, Tough is similar to pre patch #5 and Forgiving is somewhat more relaxed
• Tartaros is now even more difficult! There is now a small chance that any regular Athanatoi are replaced by champion-level Athanatoi

UI/General

• When starting the game for the first time, PERISH will now select the language that Windows OS is set to, if it is supported
• Weapon upgrades in the shop now more clearly display their status
• Kicking but not hitting anything now has a sound effect

Balance Changes

• The Minotauros enemy is now considerably more aggressive, charging at players with less preamble and more ferocity
• The arrows of the Apollonian Bow now start with +1 penetration, making it much more effective against armoured enemies; sweet collaterals are now possible
• The overall damage multiplier (including all stacked boosts) is now capped at 5x
• Relentless Rage damage increase has lowered from 1.5x to 1.2x damage
• Explosive Daggers explosion range reduced from 180 to 100

Bug Fixes

• Looking up or down all the way while using a controller and having “Invert Y” enabled no longers locks the player’s view at the max/min pitch
• Throwing a dagger and then immediately engaging ADS with the Boreas no longer unhides the Boreas weapon model incorrectly
• Fixed an issue that could cause the “interaction circle” UI element to get stuck on a player’s screen when interacting with some objects
• Fixed issues with the Spitha hammer active upgrade
• The Spitha meteor should now activate much more reliably, and hit on-target more as well
• When placing a meteor marker on an enemy, the marker will now target at their feet, causing the meteor to more accurately aim for them
• Fixed a number of issues with the player spectator camera
• Spectators should no longer get whipped up into deep space when all players die
• Spectators should now always be able to switch between valid living players
• The timing of the debris that falls under Kakos has changed to prevent players from getting stuck between the debris and the lava floor
• The Boreas rifle model is no longer visible during cutscenes
• Aiakos’ arena should no longer be escapable when flung into the air by him
• The area around the Lamia stelae no longer gets in the way of melee attacks/kicks
• Eos’ ranged attack can now damage Python statues
• Pyr Demons now die rather than disappearing when defeating Kathorao
• Standing on top of Karkinos as it dies no longer causes camera flickers
• Fixed a number of “safe spots” where enemies wouldn’t attack players
• Broken pillars in Tartaros now have proper collision
• Fixed some cases where the Lamia soul could spawn in the air if she died there. It will now spawn close to the ground regardless of her height at death
• Removed collision from some small shells in the Maelstrom of Charybdis
