- Patch 1.2.2 - 13 March 2025
Patch 1.2.2 New additions: Added some indicators to tell you where some items you missed are. These indicators will appear on the world map after you have completed all levels and finished the game. They will point at levels that contain upgrades that you missed, such as hearts in a bottle, ingots, or quiver upgrades.

Patch 1.1.4 Fixes: Fixed the bichromatic clothing flipping colors when pushing a crate. Changes: If you enter the Sanctuary in the hinterland from the secret passage in the Temple of the Earth you will now get an extra key.

Other changes: Re-added a camera animation that was removed in a past updated to catch the player's attention in a specific room because people were getting stuck.

Fixed lights in the Dark Tunnels not properly resetting their “lit/unlit” state after the player respawned. Other minor changes: The sound of swinging the sword is now slightly lower.
