Bug Fixes & Improvements

Gameplay

  • Fixed an issue in Domains with “Naoe’s Grab” and “Throw” ability not breaking enemy armor while the “Find the Gap” modifier was active.
  • Fixed an issue in Domains with the “Adrenaline Drain” and “Ability Lockdown” modifiers occasionally appearing together, resulting in an unintended and punishing combination.

  • Fixed an issue where players become stuck in the first Domain when the “Speedrun” modifier was active.
  • Fixed an issue with the “Fading Perfection” engraving removing 99% of Naoe’s health on ability use instead of the intended 20%.

Audio/Language

  • Fixed an issue with Yasuke’s “Meca Mask” audio not playing correctly during Black Tides Story Pack’s cutscene.
  • Fixed an issue with some text in Simplified Chinese showing squares (□) instead of the correct characters.

Visual/Graphics

  • Fixed an issue where the “Peasant Hat” engraving showed its base value of 6% instead of its actual boosted value in the Inventory and Forge menus.
  • Fixed an issue with the “Pirate King Hat” perk description being incorrect.
  • Fixed an issue with the Forge’s unlock condition for “Reduce all cooldowns by 10% on deflect” engraving appearing blank.
  • Fixed an issue with the Forge’s unlock condition for “Reduce all cooldowns by 5% on critical strike” engraving appearing blank.
  • Fixed an issue with several assassination perk descriptions being incorrectly displayed. They showed hardcoded values (e.g. always “+1”) instead of updating correctly when the perk was upgraded.
  • Fixed an issue potentially causing players to find significant frame rate drops occurring in the Domains, after killing enemies when the “Avenger” modifier is active.

Gears & Perks

  • Fixed an issue with perks triggered by specific conditions (backstabs, critical hits, headshots, posture attacks, or hitting afflicted/vulnerable enemies above or below half health) were not receiving their 50% boost when engraved on enhanced gear, despite appearing as boosted in the UI and stat sheet.
  • Fixed an issue in Domains with “Kunai” and “Shuriken” incorrectly bypassing enemy armor when the “Find the Gap” modifier was active.
  • Fixed an issue in Domains with the “Ice Shard” effect from the “Shiver of the Mountain Armor” bypassing enemy armor when the “Find the Gap” modifier was active.
  • Fixed an issue where perks that prevent death did not trigger before the “You Only Live Once” modifier.
  • Fixed an issue with “Naoe’s Memento Licere perk” not working correctly. No money was gained and no notification would appear when grabbing enemies.
  • Fixed an issue following the 1.1.11 update where engravings from certain trinkets including “Masakado’s Vengeance” were missing and could no longer be transferred or applied to other items.

For the next set of fixes related to quests, these could be considered spoiler-ish for some, so proceed with caution!

Quests

  • “Claws of Awaji”: Fixed an issue where Tsuyu could become stuck in the terrain if the player jumped before using the “grappling hook”. 
  • “Buried Secrets”: Fixed an issue where dying and respawning could cause Rufino to disappear, making it impossible to open the barrier required to continue the mission. 
  • “Black Tides”: Fixed an issue during the final fight against Eamon, if Yasuke used an execution that severed Eamon’s forearm, the following cutscene incorrectly showed him holding his sword with the missing arm. 
  • “Black Tides”: Fixed an issue during the epilogue cutscene, Yasuke and Naoe could incorrectly appear wearing their headgear, this was particularly noticeable with larger or masked helmets. 
  • “Black Tides”: Fixed an issue with the Naoe and Yasuke wanted posters missing from the wall decoration selection at the hideout.
