The 2.5 update of Aequus focused on implementing more content, balancing, bug fixes, and other general features.

Additions

  • Added the "Aequus" Mod Menu, Which activates the Glimmer event's background effect on the title screen!
  • Transformed the 'Wow-zer' Hat into Nightfall, obtained in the same way as the 'Wow-zer' Hat, it is a completely different weapon which increases the gravity of your enemies to deadly levels...
  • Added a few "telegraphs" to Crabson's attacks, and made his smash attack have a smoother animation
  • Added recipes for converting Hexoplasm into Ectoplasm, and vice versa
  • Items upgradable at the Gore Nest now have a physical recipe you can view at the Guide and such! (However, you still need to do the event in order to obtain the item! Even though the recipe doesn't mention such event...)
  • Added flower packets to the Silk Pickaxe's dataset (the packets sold by the Dryad), allowing you to collect flower packets from their corresponding plant tile
  • The Angler now has some dialogue before taking a Legendary Fish, so it is no longer an instantaneous, awkward interaction
  • Added an Empowered version of the Sentry buff

Changes

  • The "Bunny" item will no longer gain the "May be upgraded at a Gore Nest..." tooltip if you are in Hardmode but haven't completed the Demon Siege
