The Last Spell: Fear of the Lake is a 2D tactical RPG with rogue-lite mechanics. What’s interesting about this game is that you build your defenses during the day and fend off hordes of monsters that come from the Purple Mist at night. There are tons of unique procedurally-generated items, such as armors, weapons, and trinkets that provide you with more avenues to create strategies that suit your playstyle.
Recently, The Last Spell: Fear of the Lake received Patch 0.97.2.1, which added plenty of balancing changes and improvements. But that’s not all! A new version of the night progression gauge during Boss Nights has been added as well. It now shows more information, helping you identify the progress you’ve made during the fight.
For balancing changes, the Cetusia boss fight got a bit more challenging in this update. That’s because some of her stats have been buffed, such as her HP and armor.
The rest of the changes in Patch 0.97.2.1 are as follows:
- Added more Hunters in waves for Glenwald
- Big Game Hunter's bonus damage: 15% of target's max Health > 8% of target's max Health
- Corrupted Harpy (Assault form)
- HP reduced to 810

- Skills:
- Fury(melee attack), “Flying Assault” (maneuver attack), and “Dive Bomb” (spawn attack) all had their damages decreased
- Flying Assault's (maneuver attack) range has been increased but now has a cooldown before being usable again
- Alerion (small harpy)
- Critical % increased to 6%
- Skills:
