The following are the patch notes details for the Midgard Clan Season 2 update
Gearbox and Norsfell have just launched the first large-scale update of Serpent Saga in Season 2 of the Midgard Tribe. This expansion pack most notably adds a complete ocean system to the game, including boats, swimming, and ocean exploration.
The most striking thing about Midgard Tribe 2.0 Serpent Saga is the addition of a new winter/Christmas event called Yulidays. The patch notes also detail the event and its timeline. You can find all the changes below.
○ The appearance of Jömungandr changed the ocean of Midgard forever! Now, the water balance of all the worlds has been greatly improved, and the outskirts of the mainland are now covered with islands, which are full of dangerous creatures, rare resources and precious treasures for you to conquer. However, when you are sailing, don't let exciting music enter your mind, because the sailing Vikings must always be vigilant to prevent your ship from hitting the reef...
○ A new supplier station. An abandoned shipyard can be found in the Ash Beach biome near the village. Collect enough resources to rebuild the shipyard, and you can directly use it to make ships. Donate additional materials to upgrade the shipyard and get better ships: ■ The shipyard LVL 1 grants permission to use Færing, a simple ship capable of driving a single Viking. The minimum speed and HP of all ships. ■ The shipyard LVL 2 allows the use of Karve, a medium-sized ship that can sail up to 4 Vikings. Medium speed and HP. ■ Shipyard LVL 3 allows the use of the powerful Drakkar, a giant ship capable of sailing up to 10 Vikings. The maximum speed and HP of all ships.
○ After conquering the legend of the wolf, the heroic spirits further reflected on their past lives and old ways as Vikings. With a new purpose, they remembered the lost art of allowing these majestic ships to cross the ocean. ■ The boat is part of your build checklist. ■ To use your boat, approach any coastline, coast or cliff that has access to open water and enter the build mode. ■ From there you can ride to the boat of your choice and place it Choose your location, as long as there is enough water to support it ■ After placing your boat, move up to the Climb In next to it. ■ Interact with the rudder at the stern to control and start sailing! ■ When landing, be sure to dock your boat on an accessible coastline, such as a beach, so that you can return easily when you are ready ○ The boat is the best way to sail on the high seas, but be careful not to crash or take the boat too large A lot of damage from the enemy; if your ship loses all its health, it will be destroyed and you will have to hope that there is a shore close enough to swim.
○ Yes, swimming! Einherjar recently remembered not only the ancient art of navigation, but also the key skills necessary to survive in so many water worlds. I don't know how they forgot in the first place, maybe Valhalla only has shallow pools (golden shallow pools!), but Eira Foot-Crushed provides everyone with valuable swimming lessons between her usual Jötunn hunts. ■ When you jump into any water, you will enter the swimming mode. ■ When swimming, if you reach the reachable coastline or boat ladder, you can climb close to it, which is very suitable for crossing the river or if you want to try your luck, swim to Nearby islands ■ When swimming, you will receive an endurance meter. When you are in the water, it will continue to consume. ■ If the endurance meter runs out, you will start to be hurt until the sea takes you away-please do not come back as Unsunken! ■ The water is very cold and will lower your body temperature when you swim. Take advantage of this in smoky highlands, but be careful on glacial peaks! ● New Legendary Boss: Yemengade ○ Yemengade has risen! The notorious World Snake lives in his lair in the center of the ocean. If he is not stopped as soon as possible, he will devour the entire Midgard in the name of Ragnarök. Yemengade is notorious for his deadly poison, huge size, and control of the ocean. ○ His arena is very different from Fenrir's arena. You will face Jörmungandr on a narrow arched platform, which will surround the beast when he emerges from the sea to smash and eat. ○ Pay attention not only to his head, but also his tail! Defeating Yemengade is indeed worthy of a legend. ● New legendary missions and selection of legendary missions ○ While introducing a new legendary Boss, we also launched a new legendary mission, which will guide you through your journey to defeat Yemengada. Since the Midgard tribe now has two legendary bosses, we have also added a legendary task selection to the task board of the village. ○ Fenrir is still a part of the world, as is the legendary mission to defeat him. If you feel particularly brave (and fast), you can even try to complete two legendary missions in one world. ○ Please note that in Season 2, Jörmungandr Saga is selected by default, but it can be changed on the task board at any time. ■ Jörmungandr Saga will need to rebuild the shipyard and acquire ships to take you across the high seas. ■ At sea, you need to discover the location of remote islands that hide sacred beacons. ■ You can locate these islands by sailing and exploring by yourself, or discover the lost treasure map of Beacon, these maps will show the location of Beacon on your map.
■ These beacons are guarded by strong enemy camps. As a heroic spirit, you are responsible for raiding these camps to light up the beacons. ■ Once all 3 beacons are lit, the portal of Jörmungandr's Lair will be revealed and ready for you. Your Saga Boss challenge awaits you-well played!
○ Some newly introduced enemy attacks, such as Selkie's claws or Jörmungandr's saliva, can poison you. If you are poisoned, the poisoned state will slowly consume your HP and Mana. ● New armor privileges ○ Legend 2 debuts the armor privilege system for the first time. Every armor in the Midgard tribe now includes an additional passive reward. ○ Each Perk is assigned to a specific armor set, so if you want to maximize a certain effect, you can equip multiple pieces of the same armor set to stack rewards. ○ If you are creative, you can also mix and match Armor Perks. ○ Armor bonus of each armor set: ■ Villager: Each piece of equipment increases the chance of getting double loot from enemy drops. ■ Hersir: Increase the sword damage of each piece of equipment. ■ Predator: Each piece of equipment increases axe damage. ■ Seidr: Each piece of equipment increases the damage to Helthings. ■ Wild: Each piece of equipment increases hammer damage. ■ Nornir: Each piece of equipment increases Thunder damage. ■ Seiðr: Each piece of equipment increases the damage to Helthing. ■ Útgarð: Increase the ice damage of each piece of equipment. ■ Gullveig: Increase the fire damage of each piece of equipment. ■ Snake (new suit): Each piece of equipment increases dark damage. ■ Fornjót: Each piece of equipment increases the damage to Jötunn. ■ Baldr: HP is restored every 10 seconds. The amount of healing per piece of equipment has been increased. ■ Fenrir: Each piece of equipment increases the damage to the legendary leader. ■ Jörmungandr (new set): restore mana every 2 seconds. The quantity of each piece of equipment has been increased.
● New creature: seal (so cute) ○ A new and docile creature that lives on the coast of Midgard. ● New creatures: Seals (not too cute) ○ Often disguised as seals, at first, these vicious creatures will pounce on you if they get too close, use their claws to poison, and slowly consume your mana and health.
○ Selkie is also famous for its magical chants, if you get caught in it, it can greatly slow down your attack and movement speed. If the seals feel threatened, they will enter a state of anger, further increasing their attack speed. ○ The fallen flippers can be used to make new crafting recipes, such as snake suits. ● New creature: Fossegrim ○ Most of the mysterious Fossegrim will stay on their secluded island. With a reliable lyre, Fossegrims brings one of three magical songs to provide benefits to nearby allies: increase armor, provide speed/attack boost or resurrect when they are defeated. ○ If you are too close to Fossegrim, they will suddenly pluck the lyre and knock you back. If they are really angry with you, one of their songs can even suck some of your soul. ○ Their essence is a powerful new potion formula, immune potions, and the key ingredients to make a new legendary Yemengade suit.
○ During your season 2 legendary mission, you will encounter lighthouse camps on isolated islands on the high seas ○ These unique camps have defensive turrets that will fire regularly and cause poisoning when you head to the central arena ○ In the central arena, you will encounter many challenging enemies to protect the sacred beacons ○ Defeat the enemies, obtain the treasure chest, and activate the beacons of all 3 camps to light up the road to Yemengard ● New rune ：○ We have added 5 new runes to support your choices and provide new strategies. Please refer to the following to learn about their abilities and how to obtain them: ■ There is nothing to use [Rare]: Increase the damage caused by combined attacks and spells in unarmed combat, and you can obtain resources without tools. ■ Mana Pathfinder [Rare]: Gain [10] mana every second when running on the path. ■ Harvest Boom [Rare]: Harvesting resources will trigger an explosion, causing [medium] physical damage. ■ Hibernation [Epic]: The defeated enemy has a 15% chance to activate a frost storm around you, causing [medium] damage. ■ Ella’s gift [Legend]: With the mark of Eira Foot-Crushed, the back of this idol only says: "You owe me one."

And made these items that are readily available for gameplay. ■ By choosing weapons, protections or accessories from the gameplay section, you will be able to use the golden horn to unlock items in Season 1: Wolf Legend. ■ The Necessities section now contains pure decorations for character customization, such as hair dye and portraits, and also includes the decorations for Season 1: Legend of the Wolf, all of which can be obtained through the Golden Horn. ■ Featured items will continue to rotate once a week, but we have added the ability to select and browse the entire theme collection as a "bundle".
