### General

Introduced achievements.

* The elite enemies, Gluttonous Ralphus (Blood Magus), Gravereaver (Iron Pursuer), Goldtooth (Horrid), and Broodbrother Gnaw (Horrid) can now be encountered throughout the game.
* Many rare and epic tier items have received perks, making it much more interesting to make builds with items of these levels. To make sure items that items without a perk are still viable, many other rare and epic tier items have been tweaked.

### Visual

Other Gameplay Changes

* Body parts that can be dropped by bosses and generals have been altered.

### Items

* Bosses now have the Mark of Zerrish icon underneath their health bars while they are affected by the status effect.

* Removed the damage bonus from Three Eyed Ring.
