Rogue Legacy 2 'Swan Song' update now live on Switch, patch notes and trailer (2023)

There's a lot going on here, from new content to improvements. Players can access three new game modes, four new subclasses, over 100 tweaks and bug fixes, and more.

Applicable mark

3 new ways to play –
Fans of the original Rogue Legacy may be familiar with the game's hardest achievement, Thanatophobia, which requires 15 lives to complete the game. Well, we're bringing it back as an official special game mode, along with two other features that really spice up the experience. Thana-two-phobia takes the original challenge and dials it up to 11, with Prime bosses and stronger biomes, while True Rogue pits you against RNG gods. This mode randomizes your character, drops you into random biomes, and tests how far you can go in one life.

dream a little dream
- Deep in the shadows of an oppressive kingdom lies a faint ray of hope and dreams. This latest update will introduce Dreams, a unique experience similar to Scar Challenges that lets you play out the fantasies of some of the game's most iconic characters. What these fantasies are, you have to discover for yourself.
*Unlike Challenges, Dreams do not count toward earning certain achievements.

everyone's myth
– We've come full circle and added three new legendary weapons in this final update. Stun your enemies with Mjolnir, instill fear in their hearts with marionettes, or simply hit the wind with your skateboard. With the addition of these remaining legendary weapons, all classes in the game now have a weapon associated with them in the soul shop.

Customization is the spice of life
– Finally, we added some small tweaks for new and old fans of the PC/Mac/Linux version of the game. The first is the ability to add your own custom locales. Note that due to the nature of font creation, this feature is only available for Latin or Cyrillic. We've also added custom seeds for speed runners, and a way to verify them.

special game mode

We've added three new special game modes for players who've done their best but are still looking for more. They're designed to be nerve-racking for even the most seasoned players, so it's highly recommended that you play through the game at least once before attempting these challenges. Each mode has special conditions to earn silver or gold trophies and record your best times, so there's always a reason to try again.

real liar

For the first special game mode, we wanted to see what would happen if Rogue Legacy was played more like a traditional roguelike. Things get a little crazy, as True Rogue gives players the chance to conquer Realms with randomized reverse classes. Instead of the familiar world, you now start from a random experience, and as each boss is defeated, you'll be teleported to a new random experience and can choose a new reverse class. However, not all experiences need to be completed, they are now smaller with more relic rooms and curio shops. This makes runs short and sweet, and they're designed to be a one-person affair (although you can always stop and catch your breath). Finally, to keep resources relevant, all the gold, ore, and ether you collect earns you valuable resolve.

death phobia

We're bringing back an oldie, but a goodie with a death phobia. Originally the hardest achievement in Rogue Legacy, you only have 15 lives to complete the game in this official game mode. Once you are done with your life, the save file will be deleted. To keep things really interesting, you can only play each class once, so if your favorite loses, you'll have to make do with the rest.

double fear of death

By our own admission, Rogue Legacy 2 is a bit easier than RL1, so to preserve some of the challenge originally provided, we went with Thanatophobia. For Thana-two-phobia, the rules are the same, except enemy and boss loadouts are applied, meaning more difficult biomes and more challenging boss fights. We're not all masochists though, so to give players a fighting chance, all Fabled Weapons have been unlocked.

Class additions/changes

New Legendary Weapon

Royal Vikings.
Summon the power of Odin himself and crush your enemies with Mjolnir, the mighty ancient hammer. Throw it at unsuspecting victims to blast them with merciless lightning, then retract the hammer and do it all over again.

Snake deformer.
Don't be fooled by innocent puppets. Within it lies the spirit of the dragon, and the heavens are your domain. Attack from all sides to destroy your opponents, then stage a puppet show detailing your epic exploits.

Sick surfer.
Let's surf! Get out your surfboard, speed up and smash your enemies in the face. These wave breakers not only pack a powerful punch, but they can slide through some hazards with absolute ease.

Blasting Rod (Redesigned)
While we're big fans of the wand, the learning curve was too steep for one of the initial courses. The weapon has been redesigned to be easier to handle and play more like the archetypal wand.

•(light yellow)
The range of wand projectiles has been increased by approximately 33%.
•(light yellow)
Projectile size increased by 50%.
•(light yellow)
Projectiles will now explode on the first enemy it hits. This will make it easier to knock enemies back, giving mages room to cast their spells.
•(light yellow)
Charge status effect duration increased from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
•(weaken)
Explosion damage slightly reduced.
•(abolition)
Removed explosion indicator to clean up UI.

Shield (adjustment)
• Relics that reset (or break) on hit will now reset if the player blocks with a shield, unless the block is a perfect block.

pan (light yellow)
Giving a non-chef character the buff of a pan will do more damage.

•(light yellow)
Charge status effect duration increased from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
•(light yellow)
Damage increased from 150% to 165%.
•(light yellow)
Mana regen increased from 15 to 20 per attack.

stew (buffet)
Bring Chef to help you better match the new health changes (explained later in the patch notes).

•(light yellow)
Healing increased from 200% to 225%.
•(light yellow)
Mana regen increased from 100 to 150.

Ravenstorm (redesigned)
• Flight is now granted.
• Significantly reduced range.
• Knockback no longer applies.
• Damage reduced from 110% to 85%.
• Now always fires at least 2 crows, technically doubling the damage to a single target. Due to its arc pattern, this damage is unreliable, making it less useful against basic enemies, but still effective against bosses.
• Crow Storm will now change its rate of fire when the player has Heavy Stone Bargain instead of activating the cooldown (like pistols).

Bard – Lute (Super Buff)
We have technology!

• Notes are now dynamically updated based on Dance Stacks' INT. This means you can keep Spin Kicking your notes and earn sweet damage bonuses.

Spin kick (light yellow)
• Community:
Rewrote spin kick critical damage calculations so that they now behave the same as any other source of damage. This will cause spin kick crits to do more overall damage.
• Spin kick while running now procs critical hits.

biological change

Final Boss Relic Room
We've added three relic rooms before the final boss to give your heroes more chances to turn the tide.

• There will be three relic rooms before you start the final boss fight.

gum change

Dream
Three new special challenges called Dreams have been added to Erebus. Unlike regular Scar challenges, Dreams aren't tied to achievements, but will give you tons of extra Soulstones. All dreams can be found at NG+1 and above.

• Boogie Night:
A new dream lurks in the kingdom.
• Dragon Flight:
A new dream lurks in the kingdom.
• Train trance:
A new dream lurks in the kingdom.

balance change

God of Wealth's Bounty
We added it only because we were able to achieve overrides for Relic animations.

• The animation sequence now plays all random relics obtained through Fortune's Bounty.

Measurement of Lachesis (reworked)
This Relic has had issues for a while due to its max HP scaling. Players can take advantage of this in a number of ways, such as stacking healing trees or chewing on bones. It has been redesigned to be more consistent, while also tweaking the INT build.

• Health gained per critical strike is now based on intelligence (50% scale) instead of max health.

Deformer (Adjustment)
• Maximum limit increased from 5 to 99.

Hermes Boots (Adjusted)
• If the player owns this relic, a new glow effect will appear near their feet.

Arcane Necklace (Nerf)
While it's fun to have people cast infinite spells with top-tier arcane necklaces, it means it's way too late in the game. With the influx of relics in True Rogue mode, and this being the practical way to beat it, we don't want players chasing that one relic all the time.

• Upper limit reduced from 4 to 3.

Incandescent Telescope (adjustment)
It was a damned relic until we changed what it did and forgot to adjust all the appropriate settings. Ouch!

• Range is now controlled by the player to the point of damage rather than the midpoint of the enemy. Fixed very large enemies (such as skeleton bosses) always triggering Relic's damage bonus due to their size.
• (Community)
It can now appear as an antique.

Star Slingshot (Redesigned)
Make this game easier by increasing automation.

• Now drop 2 star bolts per relic.
• Can no longer be targeted. Instead, it activates in a pattern that changes as you collect more Star Slingshots.

Tattered Rope (Rebalance)
If you have other relics (like a haggle with a jagged handle), the risk damage is multiplied. It's additive now, so taking multiple damage stacks doesn't cause a big jump in health damage.

• (Community)
Increased risk damage is now cumulative rather than multiplied with the damage of other increased relics.
• Increased damage taken from 150% to 160%.

Soul Store Add-ons

The list keeps growing...

• God of Thunder
- A new subclass can now be unlocked in the soul shop.
• Dragon Puppeteer
- A new subclass can now be unlocked in the soul shop.
• Surfer
- A new subclass can now be unlocked in the soul shop.
• Cosmic Overload (upper limit)
– The unlock cap of some soul shops has been increased. This is just something to help DEEP NG+ ( > NG80+ ) players.

Orthotic changes

We've gone and balanced a ton of spells to make sure Focus and INT based builds don't tank late game.

Wind Wall (light yellow)
• Damage increased from 100% to 150%.
• Skills now crit after blocking projectiles.

Freeze Strike (Buff)
• Freeze duration increased from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
• Boss freeze cooldown reduced from 85% to 60% (this combined with long freeze makes it longer).
• Damage increased from 150% to 200%.
• Range increased by ~15%.
• Skill now critically strikes if the enemy is close enough.

Fungal transmission (light yellow)
• Increased damage per seed from 50% to 60%.
• Hitbox increased, making it easier to hit distant units.
• Skill now critically strikes if an enemy is knocked back.

Spore burst (light yellow)
This is technically a status effect, but I feel like it belongs here.

• Blast can now destroy cursed projectiles and ice hazards.

Shield of Thorns (light yellow)
• Damage increased from 100% to 150%.
• Skills now crit after blocking projectiles.

Shockwave (light yellow)
• Damage increased from 250% to 275%.
• Ability Crit targets are now closer to the center.

Flame bellows (light yellow)
• Damage increased from 100% to 120%.
• Increased knockback.

Fire Barrier (Redesigned - Buff)
Reworked to make it more reliable and allow for easier skill crits.

• Fire increased from 6 to 8.
• Reduced skill crit activation delay from 5 seconds to 1.5 seconds.
• Increased knockback.
• Damage reduced from 60% INT rating to 35% INT rating. This is still a huge net damage increase due to the fire hit chance and crit skill changes.

health changes

Push to make INT the primary form of health regen, while making the early game a little easier.

• Meat HP recovery increased from INT's 200% to 225%.
• Pizza now restores 225% Intellect and 15% Max Health (up from 200% Intellect and 20% Max Health).

healing tree
• Fixed a longstanding issue where healing trees would smell bad if you had low intelligence. Now it's always better than pizza.
• Now restores 500% Intellect and 15% Max Health if you consume Nectar (from 500% Intellect and 0% Max Health).

Biomedical Tax Changes

Kerguelen Plateau biome burden redesign
This is the least welcome burden, so we want to improve it for a while.

• Kerguelen's Burden of Sorrow is now Kerguelen's Burden of Frost.
•(abolition)
Removed Frozen Nightmare.
• (young)
Added a cold.

Sun Tower Burden Adjustment
• Hordes of Nightmare Lancers.
• Nightmare Lancers are faster and track players better.

change administrator

Resonance (new)
• A new Operator buff will now appear in the kingdom after players find the Boots of Echo.

Reaching the Void (New)
• The new Operator buff will now appear in the Realm after the player finds Pallas' Nether Clock.

Rage (redesign)
It was originally designed to be resistant to attacks that do little damage but are triggered frequently. It didn't work very well, so now it just turns enemies into super-aggressive glass cannons.

• No longer gains Fury stacks.
• Enemies are now always 50% faster and 60% more aggressive.
• Removed damage reduction bonus.
Explosive (adjusted)
• Changed Explosive Operator buff bars to show their cooldown instead of when they are about to attack.

commander estuary
Estuaries with Operator buffs can now spawn in True Rogue. They use a custom version of the Operator buff to better match encounters.

• bulky (estrus)
.Smaller size, less damage, less HP bonus.

.delete.

.delete.
• curse
.Fires 2 projectiles instead of 1, but less frequently.
• Explosives

.The larger the projectile, the greater the delay.

attribute change

interesting people/interesting girls

• Community:
Traits now retain your character's size even after exiting the game.

perfectionist

Superfluid (keyboard only)
Bring the controls closer to the controller.

• Community:
Now you click in the direction you are moving, not where the mouse is pointing. This limits your downward movement to 8 directions, but should be easier to perform in the heat of the moment.

real thieves (rogues)
• Only available in True Rogue mode.
• Ore and ether now turn into gold. After reaching certain golden milestones, you will be rewarded with Resolve.
• Boss chests award an additional Transmogrifier Relic.

Take a little more time to think.

A new outfit for returning players.

Shiraki (new)
• You can now find the new FOCUS guide gear set.

Hagen (new)
• You can now find a new set of skill-based gear.

Cattle (quality of life)

miscellaneous. Variety

Antique Shoppe Guns
Now that we have a full set of legendary and basic weapons, we removed the Chance modifier.

• Removed 2x chance of Legendary weapons appearing in Curio Shoppe.

Cave log entry (lost)

• Entering a magazine room now immediately marks the room as completed when all magazines have been read, rather than requiring the player to read the magazines first.
• A failed challenge will now restart the challenge instead of sending you back to the Drift House.

Auto save disclaimer
Sometimes it's hard to know when you can take a break from the game without losing your progress. This is especially painful for cheaters, and interruptions can cost you the entire game. We want to reassure unsure players that it's safe to quit at any time in Rogue Legacy 2, and we've replaced the old disclaimer with a new one explaining this.

• (Remove) Best Controller:
A lot of work has gone into making RL2 play as smoothly as possible with keyboard and mouse, so we think it's time to end the old disclaimer that recommends using a controller.
• (New) Tea Time:
Replaced the old disclaimer with a new disclaimer explaining how autosave works.

Cutscene Skip++
