Witcher Creatures

0.5.0 Alpha

Features

• Added the Chort Mutagen, obtained by harvesting a Chort's torso. Equip it in the new Mutagens inventory slot to gain Momentum.
• Sprint for six seconds to empower your next sword or axe hit with extra damage and knockback. Faster movement makes the hit stronger.
• Added crimson sprint particles, glowing weapon effects, and new sounds for Momentum.
• Added the Bestiary to the Escape menu, with seven creature entries, rotatable 3D previews, descriptions, habitats, and useful Signs, oils, and bombs.
• First kills unlock personal entries permanently. Unknown creatures appear as silhouettes; new discoveries trigger a notification.
• Creative and spectator players can view all entries and alchemy formulas. Creative players can brew unlearned formulas.

Fixes

• Alghouls now attack with raised spines while retaining melee blocking and retaliation. Active swings finish before the spines lower.
• Necrophage Oil now works against Rotfiends.

Adjustments

• Increased Animal Fat and Leather rewards from harvesting a Chort's torso.
• Chort player kills now award 100 experience.
• Alghouls pursue more slowly with raised spines, using a new walking animation and a longer defensive phase.
• Creature packs retaliate together. Wraiths favor teleporting behind targets for quick ambushes and can evade repeated hits.
• Rotfiend blasts hit harder, reach farther, and leave poison clouds.
