PATCH 0.24.71

Pet System


Prepare to unlock new bonds, discover hidden potentials, and traverse uncharted territories alongside your faithful companions. With enhanced features and mysterious surprises awaiting, the adventure awaits those daring enough to explore the world.
The Pet System is a "quality of life (QOL)" system, which should help you progress without giving you major stat boosts.
  • 64 Pets to unlock
  • Different pet traits to mix and match
  • Collect all pets to unlock bonuses
  • Evolve the pets and build the ultimate companion

Pet Traits



Shapeshifter This pet trait allows you to turn into the pet itself, moving faster and ignoring enemy collision.
Soulfetcher This pet trait allows you to collect the souls of bosses weaker bosses, allowing you to progress with minimal backtracking.
Blinker This pet trait allows you to teleport to maps you've already visited, making it easier to kill bosses you left for later.
Shopper This pet trait gives you a discount when buying any gear or relic.

Managing Traits


Traits are limited by the pet rarity, each rarity has a limit of how many traits your pet can have, the maximum rank it can achieve, and which traits the pet can unlock.
  • COMMON: Can only unlock one trait, the max rank is 3
  • RARE: Can unlock two traits, the max rank is 5
  • EPIC: Can unlock two traits, the max rank is 7, can unlock the Soulfetcher trait
  • LEGENDARY: Can unlock three traits, the max rank is 10, can unlock the Soulfetcher trait

Rank


When battling, your pet will gain experience with you. For each monster you defeat, the pet will earn 1 exp (2 for bosses), this value can be affected by the "All or Nothing" skill.

Aether


A new currency harvested from pets. You can set a pet free and get an amount of Aether based on the pet Rank and rarity. You can use Aether to upgrade a pet rank without bringing it to battles.

Codex


There area 64 pets to collect. By collecting a certain amount of pets you'll receive a bonus, being:
  • Wild Pets: +1%, +2%, +3% and +4% EXP (10% total)
  • Unique Pets: +1%, +2%, +3% and +4% GOLD (10% total)

Hatching


There are two ways you can hatch a Pet:
  • By dropping an egg from monsters
  • By buying eggs with Tickets
When hatching you'll get a random pet, the only way to know which pet you will get is by killing mobs with the "paw" icon, these mobs are certain to drop an egg that will hatch the corresponding pet.

Hero's Quest Steam Deck Compatibility

Steam Deck Compatibility


Great news, gamers! I'm excited to announce that Hero's Quest is fully compatible with the Steam Deck. Not only does the game run smoothly on the device, but it also has low power consumption, ensuring that you can enjoy hours of gameplay without worrying about draining the battery.
Hero's Quest also has full gamepad support, so you can easily control your character and play the game using the built-in controllers on the Steam Deck. Plus, thanks to the device's suspend/resume feature, you can pause your game and pick it up right where you left off, without any issues.
The game is designed to look great on a variety of different screen sizes, and that includes the 7-inch display on the Steam Deck. The game's menus and controls are easy to navigate, and all of the in-game graphics and text are perfectly scaled to fit the device's screen. Whether you're exploring new worlds or battling monsters, you can expect a seamless and immersive gaming experience that takes full advantage of the Steam Deck's display.
Grab your Steam Deck and get on your next Hero's Quest adventure!
