    18. Continued tuning of Fangs of Asterkarn monsters and bosses, particularly on Normal/Elite. See Game changes for details.
    19. The Fangs of Asterkarn final boss is now tuned independently in Ascendant Mode, and has had its major mechanics significantly nerfed on Normal/Elite/Ultimate. Its Ascendant version reflects the original game tuning and drops additional materials as a reward. If this sort of ascendant uber boss design proves popular, we will consider a similar approach to older boss encounters (ex. Theodin and Korvaak) in the future.
    20.  
    21. [Shattered Realm]
    22. All Fangs of Asterkarn Nemesis bosses have received the standard Shattered Realm Nemesis tuning passive, bringing their overall damage, Offensive Ability, and Defensive Ability down to match older Nemesis encounters.

    53. Fixed Aspect of Beronath not increasing Ascendant Spoils spawn rate in Roguelike dungeons, this modifier was mistakenly assigned to Frozen Aster.
    54. Fixed missing localization for the Remnant of the Dread quest following its reset in v1.3.0.6. This blocked the ability to enable/disable the Dread in non-English.
    55. Added additional safeguards to prevent players getting stuck on any part of the Ritual of Cleansing quests due to mismatched Multiplayer quest progress.
    56.

    190. Fixed an issue where the Potions Cauldron would not unlock after completing its quest. This fix is retroactive for affected characters.
