KRISTALA NOTICE BOARD
Last Updated: September 2, 2026 - Patch notes for Kristala v1.2.4
We are aware of the following issues and are actively working on fixes. Our team is committed to providing a more stable and enjoyable gameplay experience, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and support as we continue improving Kristala.
Please note: all platforms are now updated concurrently when new patches are pushed.
🔴ACTIVE ISSUES
Quitting during boss encounters - save / progression issue
Issue:
Quitting the game during a boss fight may cause the game to fail to save correctly. When reloading, players may be returned to their last successful save, resulting in the loss of progress made since that save.
The Shard Guardian encounter can cause an additional issue in this scenario. If the game is quit during the fight without a prior save, reloading may return the player to an earlier checkpoint—often in Nisar—while the Shard Guardian map remains loaded. This can cause the player to spawn beneath the environment.
Workaround:
If you reload beneath the environment after encountering this issue during the Shard Guardian fight, use the Unstuck option to return to a valid location.
Until this issue is resolved, we recommend avoiding quitting the game during any boss fight and saving before beginning a boss encounter whenever possible.
Status:
Our team is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
STATS & ACCESSORIES
The following issues have been identified related to Stats & Accessories. We are actively working on fixes:
-
In some cases, character attributes may not correctly reflect expected values after loading a save created in an earlier game version.
Workaround: Unequip and re-equip any accessory that modifies your attributes to refresh the values.
-
If an accessory that modifies maximum health or mana is equipped, the player's current health may appear lower than expected after respawning (maximum health remains correct).
Workaround: Interact with a checkpoint (Ellarial Font) to restore the correct current health value.
-
If an accessory that modifies maximum health is equipped, swapping loadouts may unexpectedly reduce the player's current health by that amount.
Menus
In the Alchemy tab of the Feline Tree, the talents deriving from Hushed Out & Pumped Up do not currently list the second requirement (2 Tiger's Eyes for each).
Effects
An issue affecting various passive effects has been identified. This may affect:
-
Echoes
-
Equipment
-
Talents
-
Spell Upgrades
Our team continues to investigate and address affected effects.
Animations & Movesets
In some cases, the Claw attack animation may play while using other weapon types.
Workaround: Unequip and re-equip the affected weapon.
