Noblesse Oblige v0.15.0.5 Patch Notes (5-9-2025)

• 75k words of content!
• Significant new section of the story!
• Significant new combat section with optional challenges!
• One new intimate scene for those with the patch!
• New art for Albion Soldiers (by the ever-excellent Mimo)! Note: These are not featured in the new content.
• Four new achievements for those playing on Steam!
• Graphical improvements to Delphin Pass!
• New anti-lag functionality! This is on by default, but can be turned off in the system menu if issues arise. 

= Balance Changes

• When several Fire-boosting effects such as Caustic Tar and Singed are active, only the strongest Fire boost takes effect.
• MP cost reduction effects now work on skills that cost another character's MP (i.e. Ariadne's MP cost reduction is applied for Searing Wind and Blazing Blade).
• Calysia's Purge Sorcery now has High priority.
• Calysia's Nightshroud now has Medium priority.
• Removed the +20% dmg taken/done from Somnus's Dreamwalk (it's still quite strong XD). 
• Somnus's attacks now pierce most damage absorbs and many damage reduction (-x damage, rather than -x% damage) effects.
• Ligaea's Falconry skills can no longer crit to avoid them consuming Confidence.
• Increased the damage of Blazing Arrow.
• Ligaea now has a free version of Take Cover to cancel Cover.

= UI Improvements

• Clarified Full Moon/New Moon buffs in Calysia's passive effects.
• Added buff icon to the skill description to indicate which kind of Cover Whirlwind removes.
• Added a "Current Status" option to view current stat values in the proposal screen.
• Changed Ligaea's default combat expression (Mimo art only).
• Added a "Required" designation for proposals such as Grove Restoration to make clear that they must be done by a point in the story or they will be done automatically.
• Added a "Short Term" designation for certain proposals such as Arkos Underworld that are available for a short time.
• Added a new page to the Proposals menu allowing the current value of key factors to be checked. 

= Bugfixes

• Theseus Loyalty Fix 2: Electric Boogaloo (now Tychus loyalty changes are no longer added twice).
• Fixed a bug causing the discounted price of Grove Defenders to be applied in the wrong circumstances. Affected saves will be corrected in the Temporal Rift.
• Improved the consistency of Elite Cover effects.
• Fixed an issue causing Salvation to grant more SP than intended. 
• Various typo reports and fixes to old content (thanks to everyone who reported).
• Fixed a bug causing Instant Message settings to load Turn Window settings instead of instant message settings.
• Fixed a bug causing Lorena's Ice Barrier to prevent healing or be removed by healing.
• Fixed a bug causing Sindarion's Perfect Focus to trigger when an Absorb or Cover effect would have prevented damage.

Noblesse Oblige : Legacy of the Sorcerer Kings,  v0.14.1.3 "The Shadows Within" is now available to the public!

Edit #4: I've updated to v0.14.1.4. This fixes a bug where the cost of Grove Defenders was incorrect.

Edit #3: I've updated to v0.14.1.3.

This fixes a rare potential crash related to Freeze effects as well as fixing some passability issues in Avalonia.

Edit #2: Updated to v0.14.1.2 to make a few fixes, notably:

- Fixed a crash in the sanctum after accepting Eris's deal

- Added a save point before deciding whether to accept Eris's offer

- Added a translucent text background to the post-duel textual scene

- Various other minor bugfixes and typos.

Edit: Updated to v0.14.1.1. 

This corrects an issue with shop unique items and an issue where Story Mode would not be deactivated if used during a unique dungeon. 

If you have a save stuck in story mode, feel free to comment with a link to it or come to the discord and I can fix it.

- Major optional side section for some routes (those with Somnus who kept Tychus for interrogation).

- Five new achievements for those playing on Steam.

- New level up skills available for several party members!

- Three new loyalty skills (Ariadne 75, Ligaea 75, Somnus 50).

- One new throne room scene (Cynthia).

- New Ariadne art! Ariadne's outfit has been redone by Mimo! I'm very happy with the results of this. A patch to use the old outfit may be added in the menu at a later time.

- Door customization for the doors in the throne room at Castle Kharos have been added!

Balance Changes

- Adjusted Wildfire damage to be reduced slightly more by mdf.

- Lorena's Swift Slash now deals more damage and will have a guaranteed follow-up during Holy Avenger.

- Swift Slash becomes Chilling Slash under Radiance, which deals less damage but now has a higher Skill rate. Chilling Slash will be learned on the version transition, or on fighting one battle.

- Howling Slash's follow-up now hits the main target if facing a single enemy.

UI Improvements

- Fixed a bug that caused enemies who attack multiple times a turn to do nothing when affected by Enthrall or Beguile.

- Added Theseus loyalty changes for the decision to kill/imprison Tychus. These are applied retroactively. 

- Added a fallback to autosave to prevent the game from hanging on a failure to autosave correctly. 

- Barrage or other instant skills no longer consume Ligaea's Confidence.

- Echo of Light and other instant skills no longer consume Calysia's Full Moon. 

- Howling Slash's cooldown is now 3 rounds as per the description (was 4). 

- Potions are no longer incorrectly classified as Key Items, no matter how much you hoard them. =P
