This isn't everything, but it's a good chunk of it. smile
-- Q.
===================================
Ring Optimizations
- The Shallow Seas chain of areas has been overhauled.
* A challenge level is now chosen when you enter Shallow Seas from the Whirlpool. The same difficulty applies all the way through from Shallow Seas to the final boss encounter.
* The barnacle maze at the front of Shallow Seas was rearranged for better gameflow.
* The Barnacle Fluff and Brain Clam are much tougher now. They are scaled as LTs.
* The Sea Spout LTs have tougher attacks now and can both damage *and* sleep you.
* Lorelei can now sleep you also .
* The Grunny Sub LTs have tougher attacks now.
* The Sea Spouts, Barnacle Fluffs, Anchor Bugs, and Brain Clams are intermixed throughout the Shallow Seas region.
* Watch out for patrols. There are lots of them in Shallow Seas now and it's a MUCH more challenging area if you're not very careful.
* There are new placements of monsters in both Ledge and the Sealab Complex.
* It is assumed that you are in a crew of 5-6 players for this adventure series. Getting through the areas with fewer players will be extremely challenging, if not impossible.
* There are new surprises around the security switches and main sealab door in the Complex area. wink
* The Robofish do NOT respawn naturally...BUT...if you are party-wiped while fighting the end boss monster, then the tunnels are replenished before your bodies are "dragged back for the Robofish to eat".
* All chest rewards, as well as the boss encounter rewards, are scaled based on the difficulty level chosen.
New Quests!
- There are NPCs in every zone that offer you a Daily Chance just for speaking to them. Daily Chance rewards include gold, orbs, items, and other things like PowerUps, a pack of mini-monsters for your Aquarium, or even one million gold!

* Bill's Ranch - Rubella
* Zen Garden - Burton
