Designer Note: As was the case with the Dungeonbreaker Alpha, we are looking to do a prolonged testing session for this update in order to polish it as much as possible before an eventual release. Due to this, we have supplied prospective Alpha testers with a particularly detailed outline of the update - so get your reading glasses on!
► New Mobs[]
Several new mobs have been added to the Mythological Ritual event. Increasing the rarity of your Griffin Pet unlocks 2 new mobs per tier. Additionally, whenever you upgrade your pet all mobs get stronger but drop more items (gold & ancient claws), in addition to gaining an increased chance of dropping their signature drop(s):

(17.30% at Mythic Griffin) |

| Siamese Lynx | COMMON | 1,000 | Crochet Tiger Plushie | 0.05% -> 0.4% |

Brain Food | 0.25% -> 0.5% |
| Minos Inquisitor | LEGENDARY | 75 | Chimera I | 1% -> 1.25% |
| Manticore (NEW!) | MYTHIC | 15

► New Items[]
With the addition of several new mobs and Mythos Fragments being added to Griffin Burrows, there are a bunch of new Mythological Ritual items to collect. A non-exhaustive list of some particularly interesting ones can be found below.
- Golden Fleece (LEGENDARY Belt)
- Grants +5 Magic Find on ✿ Mythological mobs and +15 Tracking on Griffin Burrows
- Manticore Claw (LEGENDARY Gloves)
- Copies 10% of your active pet’s Combat Stats.
- Mythological Dye
- Dyes a piece of armor #6F6F0C.
- Fabled Stinger
- Upgrades Venomous VI -> Venomous VII.
- Brain Food
- Can be consumed up to 5 times. Each consumption grants +1 Tracking.
- Mythos Armor (EPIC Armor)
- Grants +10 Magic Find on ✿ Mythological mobs at 4/4 and reduces damage taken from them.
- Mythos Equipment (EPIC Equipment)
- Adds +2 length to Griffin Burrow chains and reduces damage taken from ✿ Mythological mobs.
All items listed above can be obtained directly from Centauri on the Alpha Network.
► New Stat: ❃ Tracking[]
❃ Tracking is a new stat introduced as part of this update. For every 1 tracking you are 1% more likely to find mobs with the ♣ Elusive typing. Examples of mobs with this typing includes Field Mice, Diamond Goblins, Scathas, and Mythic SC's.
In terms of the Mythological Ritual, having more tracking will make you more likely to find the following mobs, which also have the elusive typing:
- Minos Inquisitor
- Sphinx
- Manticore
- King Minos
A sizable amount of the new content added as part of this update will involve the Tracking stat, so keep it in mind!
Please note that we do not intend to add Inquisitor pity or anything similar for ✿ Mythological mobs - if you want to find them more often you need to increase your Tracking stat!
An example of ❃ Tracking in effect:
- Base chance of Minos Inquisitor and Sphinx with 0 ❃ Tracking is 1.30%
- Base chance of Manticore and King Minos with 0 ❃ Tracking is 0.26%
- Let's give the player 30 ❃ Tracking!
- 15 from the Golden Fleece
- 5 from Brain Food
- 5 from Big Game Hunter X Attribute
- 5 from Enderman Slayer 9
- Base chance of the Minos Inquisitor and Sphinx now goes from 1.30% -> 1.67%!
- Base chance of the Manticore and King Minos now goes from 0.26% -> 0.33%!
So, as you can see, for optimal Mythological Ritual rates you'll want to max out your Tracking stat, as it actually makes a sizable difference.
► Carnival Shop Perks[]
The following perks for the Mythological Ritual have been added to Foxy's Carnival.
- Fabled Slayer I-V
- Increases damage dealt to ✿ Mythological mobs by +5/10/15/20/25%.
- Deadly Greed I-V
- Gain +2/4/6/8/10% more Coins from Griffin Burrows.
- Diana’s Favor I-III
- Grants +1/2/3 Magic Find on ✿ Mythological mobs.
- Designer Note: This is intentionally a very small amount of Magic Find for...reasons.
- Grants +1/2/3 Magic Find on ✿ Mythological mobs.
- Elusive Hunter I-II
- Grants +2.5/5 Tracking while digging up Griffin Burrows.
► Hephaestus Items[]
The Hephaestus Anvil can be crafted from 64x Enchanted Gold Blocks, 2x Braided Griffin Feathers, 1x Zog Anvil, 128x Enchanted Ancient Claw, and 64x Mythos Shards.
When placed in a crafting grid alongside 3 of any of the following items, all of the items will be consumed and a Hephaestus item will be created.
- Crochet Tiger Plushie
- Becomes Hephaestus Plushie. Bonus Attack Speed buff increased from 35% -> 50%.
- Cretan Urn
- Becomes Hephaestus Urn. Pet Luck increased from 5 -> 10.
- Antique Remedies
- Becomes Hephaestus Remedies. Strength buff increased from 80% -> 100%.
- Minos Relic
- Becomes Hephaestus Relic. % buff increased from 33% -> 50%.
- Dwarf Turtle Shelmet
- Becomes Hephaestus Shelmet. True Defense increased from 10 -> 20.
- Washed-up Souvenir
- Becomes Hephaestus Souvenir. Sea Creature Chance increased from 5% -> 10%.
► Burrow Length Changes[]
Before, there were always 4 burrows in a chain. Burrow #1 always contained an arrow, burrows #2 and #3 mob or treasure, and #4 was guaranteed to be something from the burrow treasure table.
With this update, though the base burrow length remains at 4, we have added some new ways to extend burrows:
- The Mythos Equipment set grants +2 burrow length.
- The Archaic Spade and Deific Spades, upgrades to the Ancestral Spade, grant +2 and +4 burrow length respectively.
Instead of the previous rules, all burrows now have a 75% chance to be a mob and a 25% chance to be a treasure. This change should actually sizably increase your Inquisitors/hr due to Burrow #1 no longer being forced to be an arrow and Burrow #4 no longer being forced to be a treasure.
It is also worth noting that longer burrow chains are desirable because of the Mythic Griffin's perk:
- Ancient Earth
- Grants +1 Tracking on Griffin Burrows for each burrow excavated in your current chain.
This perk means that, if you hit the maximum burrow length of 10, you are 10% more likely to find an elusive mob in that final burrow.
► Burrow Loot Changes[]
The various treasures you can find when excavating a Griffin Burrow now varies based upon which tier of spade you excavate it with:
Ancestral Spade (T1 Spade)
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| Griffin Feather | 66.67% |
| 2.500 Coins | 15.63% |
| 5,000 Coins | 10.42% |
| 10,000 Coins | 5.21% |
| 25,000 Coins | 2.08% |
Archaic Spade (T2 Spade)
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| Griffin Feather | 66.73% |
| Mythos Fragment | 1.78% |

| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|

| 250,000 Coins | 0.83% |
| 500,000 Coins | 0.50% |
| 1,000,000 Coins | 0.33% |
Additionally, all treasure burrows have a 1/1m chance to contain the new Mythological Dye.

We have compensated for the Magic Find lost during the Mythological Ritual with the new armor & equipment set, anguish talisman line, reworks to Griffin Pet, CoA, and CoG, Carnival Shop Perk, Golden Fleece, and more.
