If you've ever played a Vanillaware game before, you'll know that Inferno difficulty is not enough. With the latest patch to Dragon's Crown, there's a new Ultimate difficulty setting to test the very limits of the best players in the world. Your reward for this new difficulty mode? A raise in level cap from 99 to 255. "But," you'll say, "won't I just have to keep playing the same levels over and over?" That's why we added the Tower of Mirages! It has tens of thousands of levels for you to traverse. TENS. OF. THOUSANDS. The ink this message is written in is made from the tears of our QA testers who had to check them all. Full patch notes below!
Bug Fixes
- Gameplay stability is improved.
New Features
- Clearing the ninth layer in the Labyrinth of Chaos unlocks a new "Ultimate" difficulty level. This difficulty can be selected at the Temple.
- When in Ultimate difficulty, a new randomly generated dungeon named the "Tower of Mirages" is added.
- Ultimate difficulty raises the level cap from LV 99 to LV 255.
- Item shortcuts can now be assigned and used separately by holding L1 and the Up directional button.
- Damage values can now be displayed as a running total instead of per-hit.
- To help increase player character visibility, characters can be shown with transparencies when they are on top of one another. This feature is available in the Options menu and can be toggled on or off.
- Save files that have cleared Story mode can skip the first quests leading to the Talisman collection when creating a new character.
- Guild Quests that have already been cleared may now be skipped in subsequent playthroughs.
