- Added 7 new Scarabs: Abyss Scarab of Profound Depth, Blight Scarab of Invigoration, Breach Scarab of Resonant Cascade, Essence Scarab of Adaptation, Torment Scarab of Possession, Scarab of Radiant Storms, and Scarab of Wisps.
- The Legion Scarab of Eternal Conflict now has “Legion Monsters in Area gain increased Difficulty and Reward for each time they are broken out”.
- Tempests and Affliction Wisps are now considered as Extra Content, and will no longer be present in Map Areas with the Back to Basics Atlas Keystone Passive allocated.
- Added 300 more foiled Tier 17 Valdo’s Map options that the Valdo’s Puzzle Box can yield.

- Updated the description of the Abyssal Assailants Challenge to clarify the Stygian Spires defeated must be those at the end of Abysses, defeating those spawned through the Allflame Ember of Abyss does not grant credit towards this Challenge.
