The latest Fig update for Obsidian Entertainment's Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire directs our attention to the recently released v3.1.0 patch for the pirate-themed RPG that simplifies the game's UI, adds the ability to adjust the radius of certain spells, introduces new Berath's Blessings, god challenges, and even a secret mega boss.

Apart from that, the update mentions physical backer rewards and the upcoming Extra Life charity marathon, and shares a DLC timeline infographic. Here's an excerpt:

Update 3.1

The patch is live! Some of the highlights of Update 3.1 include:

• UI Simplifications
  • Ship UI will now be hidden until you can access your ship

New Challenges

Berath's Blessings weren't the only thing to get some additions in this patch. Two new challenges have been added with the 3.1 update.

• Hylea - Vela is rather attached to the Watcher and won't leave your side, the poor thing, so it's up to you to protect her. If you don't, the game ends!
• Rymrgand - Food will start to expire! Foods like hard tack will expire more slowly, but you should still stay vigilant and ensure a supply of fresh food!

A New Mega Boss

A new Mega Boss can now be challenged! This colossal Ooze is prepared to face some of the strongest teams that dare brave it! Can you discover it's location and take on this fierce enemy?
