Smalland Forbidden Monuments Update Patch Notes: New Creatures, Armor, Leveling System, & More

True to the developer’s word, the Forbidden Monuments update in Smalland is now live with various new content and features. Adventure awaits the Smallfolk Vanguard who're willing to brave the new biome. You can also test your skills (and wits) when fighting new enemies. So, wait no further as we take a closer look at Smalland’s second major content update after Giant’s Fall.

Smalland Forbidden Monuments Update

Various additions are now available in the Forbidden Monuments update of Smalland. For starters, a new map area called The Park is available for exploration. Here, you’ll find new creatures, including the Blue Tit bird. Venture into the depths of the map, and you’ll also find the Aether tribe. Members of this particular community will be hostile to the Smallfolk, so ready your weapons when you spot them. Additionally, Smalland introduces player and creature leveling systems. As a player, you can gain experience from completing different objectives, such as gathering resources and defeating enemies. You’ll also earn experience points from completing key moments in Smalland’s central narrative. As for your tamed creatures, they’ll earn experience points while they follow you. Note that pets can only level up to 10 levels from their master’s current level. For example, your Smallfolk Vanguard is level 53, which means your domesticated creature can go up to level 63 before hitting the current cap. Moving forward, a new armor set is now also in the game – the Icarus set. Plus, it comes with the Icarus Wings, which gives your character the air dash ability. Also, Smallfolks can now equip wings on any armor from the Forbidden Monuments update in Smalland onward. Learn more about the Smalland Forbidden Monuments update by reading the patch notes below:
