The Boss Attack update, as this latest update isofficially titled, actually introduces two new modes centred around replaying bosses from theplatformer’s story. Boss Revenge is a straightforward rematch against any of the bosses, with the option to test your skills against different difficulty levels and record your best efforts on a leaderboard. Your health, weapon upgrades and abilities will be set to a specific loadout for each boss, but your amulets and Athra Surges will carry over from your save.
Both modes also offer the extra-hard test of turning on No Hit difficulty, which - as it sounds - means you can’t take even a single hit, or you’ll die instantly. Tricky!

Along with the headline boss modes, there are a couple of smaller additions. You’ll now be able to fast-travel around Mount Qaf using Wak-wak trees, and there’s an accessibility improvement that makes yellow and red attacks clearer in high-contrast mode too.
The Boss Attack update follows March’s introduction of permadeath and speedrun modes - plus some extra costumes - in the Warrior’s Path update, whilethe third and final free update(for now, at least) will be Divine Trials, adding extra combat, puzzle and platforming challenges over the summer - and, yes, more outfits too.
That won’t be it for The Lost Crown just yet, as there areplansfor a paid piece of story DLC later in the year. We’re yet to hear more about that, though.
