Khazan Unveils Latest Patch Notes Update

On April 22, an exciting new update is set to land for The First Berserker: Khazan across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. Released just last month to a mostly warm reception, this formidable Soulslike title has garnered applause for its intense combat mechanics and grueling boss encounters. Since hitting the shelves, the dev team has been vigilant, actively responding to user feedback through various updates aimed at refining the game’s balance and exterminating pesky bugs.

Before these patches, The First Berserker: Khazan was notorious for its brutal difficulty, with early players voicing concerns about particularly taxing initial boss fights. In response, the developers adjusted the difficulty curve, making some battles more manageable while upping the ante on others. Come Tuesday, April 22, a fresh update will be rolled out, and the detailed patch notes have already been made available to eager players.

The planned update will focus on balance enhancements, starting with increased growth speed for Khazan Phantoms. This modification should encourage players to experiment with different Phantoms as they progress. Additionally, a revamp in elemental damage and status effects will see them influenced by character attribute resistance, and thankfully, Skill Points will now be easier to come by.

Significant changes are also being implemented to the Gear System, ensuring players no longer accidentally recycle rare equipment. Helpful tips will guide players through the bonuses of Khazan’s Memories, while achieving the Standing Alone accolade will now be possible in New Game+ mode. Notably, this achievement, which involves finishing the game solo without aid in boss fights, will be unlocked by replaying the final boss if you’ve already mastered the game on three occasions.

This update promises a host of additional changes to enhance First Berserker: Khazan even further. With the game already well-received, these tweaks can only add to its appeal. It’ll be fascinating to see how the game evolves in the coming months.
