Very nice! I'm looking forward to checking out that patch and its new additions. A little disappointed that virtually everything new seems designed to make the game easier though. I'm glad that I have the game through GOG and not Steam - I'll wait to download this patch until I'm done with my current character.
EDIT: Apparently there was a version 1.1 patch released back in October. I had no idea, wish I had been able to use that 3 savegames feature earlier!

It looks like most of the changes were to make > NG++ not as ridiculous so more super late game builds are viable.

I had not played Rogue Legacy in a while, so I had missed the previous patch as well. Interesting new stuff to check out...anyone know what they mean by "boss remixes"?
Apparently they nerfed the chakram, though. Now it is "caught" if it returns to your character, rather than passing through and hitting enemies behind you. Makes it much less useful.  Maybe you can jump/avoid and it will still continue on? Will have to try that.

From the Steam forums:
Quote:WHAT ARE REMIX BOSSES
Remix bosses are special version of the old bosses, with similar attack patterns (although more complicated ones). The particularity of these bosses is that you HAVE to face them with a pre-determined character, with a specific class, specific equipment, specific runes and specific traits. The character is at level 0, while the boss will be at a WAY higher level (I don't know if they have a level depending of the NG, but considering the nature of this fight I think not). These bosses are really, really hard to defeat, because of their more complex patterns and to the conditions of disadvantage you're in. If you die, you'll be deleported outside the boss's gate, but you can retry it as much as you want. When defeated, RB give you a piece of medallion: according to Estoppel it will probably make Neo-Fountain, while for AngZt it's related to the new secret class.
HOW TO FIND REMIX BOSSES
I'm a bit speculating on some aspects, so if you have more accurate infos let me know. Apparently, with the patch, the devs have increased the frequency of apparition of the statues which give you special items if you pray for assistence (you know, Hedgehog's Curse, Hyperion's Ring, Hermes' Boots and so on). These statues can now give you special obols, like Khidr's Obol, Alexander's Obol and so on. If you give these obols to Charon, he will allow you to "enter new gates". If you have defeated the regular boss and go to his room again, after giving the obol, you'll find a new gate and, entering it, you'll fight the remixed version of that boss.
In addition it seems that these remix bosses are dropping pieces of a medaillon, but what happens once you complete it I don't know. Might be more fun to find out yourself anyway.

Considering what was said above regarding the bossess, I don't think i'll ever be able to.

Yeah, the remix idea does not sound very fun. You must be a very, very specific combination of class and runes and such, without knowing ahead of time just what that specific combo should be. Unless you read all about it ahead of time on the forums, of course.  Forget all about adapting and finding ways to overcome obstacles with whatever you happen to be playing, you have to do it their way only. Meh.
On the chakram "catch" you can avoid it and it will continue on behind you. Still nerfs it quite a bit since that is not always possible, but the chakram was one of the strongest spells before so I guess they are trying to balance things a bit. But if so why nerf the conflux by also making the character "catch" the spike balls? With twice the normal spell cost for what it does the conflux was hardly overpowered.
I am liking some of the new traits and rooms. More variety is fun. The "highly conductive" trait is sort of like PAD but with platforms -- being able to ignore some of the usual threats opens up more options and allows for some fun runs where you sort of get to break the rules. Got a fairy chest I never would have been able to reach with this trait, it was fun to realize what was possible due to the effect. Some of the new rooms are seriously tough, still working out how best to approach them.

I think you got it wrong. If it was the way you say it would make no sense at all. It seems you can reach the door with whatever character you want, but get a preset char just for the boss fight in order to prevent outlevelling the fight and making it trivial due to high stats.
Auburok's Guide Wrote:These battles are special in that you are given a preset character for the fight, and they are repeatable (when you fail the fight, you're given back control of your original character just outside of the boss's room). They are very difficult, and they will definitely test your abilities.

Ah, OK. That makes much more sense. Thanks for clarifying that, Gustaran.
Not that I am anywhere near defeating a boss with my current run. I am having terrible luck so far with runes. I have found 11 total, but 9 of them are on the sword and helm slots where I am still using the initial vault and sprint runes. The other two are both useless grace runes.
