Slay the Spire 2 Beta Patch Replaces Act 3 Boss and Adds Bestiary
The latest beta patch for Slay the Spire 2 introduces significant changes to gameplay content and development schedules. Developer Mega Crit has removed the Act 3 boss, Doormaker, citing excessive complexity and lingering design issues. It has been replaced by a new boss named Aeonglass to better align with the team's vision for late-game encounters. Additionally, the update features a highly anticipated Bestiary within the Compendium, currently serving as an outline that will eventually display enemy animations and data. The patch also includes various balance adjustments for cards and relics across characters like Silent and Defect, alongside UI improvements and new art assets. Notably, Mega Crit announced a shift in their update cadence from weekly to bi-weekly patches. This change aims to reduce development pressure, allow for more polished updates, and provide beta players with sufficient time to test changes and offer meaningful feedback. These revisions are currently exclusive to beta branch participants but indicate the direction for future public releases.
