Update naming dropped decimals, and legendary Idols are now independent of Pacts and chosen from the Arsenal.
In-game announcements5
Hail, Envoys! Have you heard the echoes of what soon nears?
Wise as always! Soulframe Preludes 4 arrives in 3 minutes time!
Battle Hounds, once fabled Glades, relics of Knightmaidens' age... Soulframe Preludes 4 arrives in 2 minutes.
It is almost time! Soulframe Preludes 4 arrives in 1 minute.
Soulframe Preludes 4 has been deployed. Restart those clunky devices, won't you?
Our update naming convention has changed for thematic and narrative consistency. Each update will now have a distinct name without decimals. For example, Soulframe Preludes 1.4 is Soulframe Preludes 4 and so it shall be henceforth!
Idols
These ‘legendary’ abilities are no longer tied to Pacts, but rather can be selected and swapped in the arsenal screen! New idols will be craftable.
- Ignus Wroth: In the Fire King’s name, light your arm ablaze. Enemies of Clan Jotar be hewn to ash. The Fragment for Ignus Wroth is awarded after discovering Fenn Jotar in the Dermak Undercity. Envoys must leave the Undercity without dying to receive this Fragment.
- Dhonu: Summon Dhonu, the living Bow of legend. Nock an arcane arrow midair and fly as the Fey until it it loosed.
- Bollide Blast: Wield Ode’n innovation upon steelslick shoulders. Fire Bollides and see enemies cratered.
- Bellow: The war-bellow of Rood revives your fallen flock. The herd charges on with strength of Torment.
Beware new enemies in Midrath!
The Ode Sinecure battle dogs await you... and perhaps a familiar corrupted fabled Stag in the Northern night.
New Helm, Cuirass, Leggings!
- Regent’s Veil: A barbette of Dendrit wyrmsylk flows lighter than a Baron’s beard. A steel fillet atop the head sits stiffer than helm and prouder than crown. Not Sinecure nor Tempest, Gruul nor Thrall, the Regent treads a balance betwixt them all.
- Flaxen Shell: Gauntlets of swirling ore honour Mora and Sapphene entwined. An emblem broach of flaxen wheat honours the fields of home, graced by twin suns to cultivate growth. Relics all from the Knightmaidens’ noble age.
- Dendrit Drapery: Flowing skirts and capes are intricately woven by Dendria’s master webbers. Though each weave is completely unique, all share a single flaw. The Silvernslip. An intentionally skipped stitch, a silent rebellion, of which the Ode know not.
- Find the Fragments for this set in the Glades.
