(The above screenshot is taken from Clea 1.) Hello friend! You doing good sasa? The third and final update of our One Year Mission is just about ready for release, so today, I want to drop a little preview. The final update will consist of a new challenge named War Maiden Mode. Guess what? The mode will be available in both Clea 1 and 2! How is it obtained? In Clea 1, War Maiden Mode unlocks after you earn the best ending in the campaign. In Clea 2, complete Cleas Quest with a platinum score, then War Maiden Mode will become available. In War Maiden Mode, players are tasked with surviving the campaign, but with a twist. Each time you enter a new room, there is a chance that somewhere in the area, War Maiden has inflicted a new curse. These afflictions work in the same way as the ones in Cleas Quest. The longer you loiter, the deadlier the space around you becomes. In an act of mercy, the curses do reset each time you complete a chapter. By the way, outside of Chaos+, every enemy will receive a speed boost cleachaos. I have been testing this mode a ton over the past weeks, and I can say this will be the greatest trial of all. Much harder than Chaos+, even with invisible foes. Outside of breaking the game, this is the final test. If you wish to prove once and for all you are a Clea master, your chance will soon come. Of course, players will be rewarded for their efforts. By surviving War Maiden Mode, you will receive a mighty costume known as War Gear. Here it is for Clea 1:
And Clea 2:
The dress does have a cute little ability, which I will leave as a surprise. Since Clea 1 will receive the same update, I took this opportunity to also add the Gaia costume:
Just like with Clea 2, players can earn this dress by completing the campaign with one save or less. Now, when is this third update going to land? It should arrive on Steam on September 13th-14th. Straight after, I will run some final tests on the console versions (and also give it around a week for the update to be tested by PC players). I will then submit the patches, and soon enough, players on all platforms will be able to experience this ultimate test of skills. Thanks and take care yoyo!
