• Fixed a bug where a dead zone was set during mouse operation.
• Fixed a bug where enemies would stand still or get stuck on some maps.
• Fixed other minor bugs.

Known Issues

1. In the sub-quest "Opportunity", if a specific attack hits the Ark Boss "Thicket Visgo" while it is in its digging motion, it may not re-emerge from underground.
2. Under specific equipment conditions, the player character may not be rendered correctly in some event scenes.

Workaround for Issue 1

If Issue 1 occurs, you can use "Return to Checkpoint" in the map menu to return to the last visited safety area or warp terminal, allowing you to challenge the Ark Boss again.

Future Plans

We plan to address these issues in a future update.

Thank you for your continued support of Echoes of Aincrad.
