I'm setting up this thread in anticipation of the upcoming release of the Extreme South! It will be out sometime this July, and you can read a bit more about what it will bring up on the latest post on ddmod.weebly.com/news. I'll update this thread when there's an exact release date, but we don't quite want to commit to an exact day until we're sure a well-hidden bug won't catch us totally off-guard.

So, feel free to discuss or speculate on what's already been posted on the website in this thread, but in the meantime just keep an eye on this thread! If you have any not-too-spoilery questions, I'd also be happy to answer them.

I don't have anything interesting to say but I'm super excited!

The closer we get to release the more exciting it is!

While we're all in the South waiting room, I finished the Serpentine Shield unlock quest but had a surprising amount of trouble with Monk, even after prepping Avatar's Codex. Did manage it (and learned how to play Codex in the process), but I'd be quite interested to see someone do FB Monk Purist, whether recorded or just text discussion of how it went - I'm sure it's possible but only because every time someone talks about a new ridiculous challenge in this game it gets completed~

Here you go! It's definitely a difficult run. It was pretty close for me, mostly because EM completely screwed me with her plant spawns twice. Taurog solves the early game. Venom Dagger was pretty much all the power I needed. It let me take the Memory of the East on early. With Monk's PR, fast regen, poison, and some helpful Forgotten Kinsmen to wipe Frostbite off, I was able to strip her DPs completely. Then I used all my potions, BURNDAYRAZ, and Entanglement to tackle the Memory of the South.

The general tips here are that Frostbite enemies are weak and easy leveling fodder if you can manage them properly. Forgotten Kinsmen are conveniently present to wipe your frostbite off of. Don't be afraid of taking debuffs from the Swampsouls, either, so long as you can level up through them. Strangely enough, the hardest enemies are probably the least exotic: Soul Suckers, who have high stats and Retaliate: Fireball. Though with a magical attack, of course they'll be awful for Monk.

*blushing*

But yeah I am really looking forward to your feedback!

It's almost here! After about one week of "Ok, this is the final build, right?" only to discover lots of little things to fix, we should be releasing the EE South at approximately 8 AM GMT on Monday, July 29.

Not much more to say than that. I'll reply again here when it's live, along with two more separate replies for the changelist for preexisting content and the spoiler post for the new South stuff.
