Hell Clock’s free 2.0 update arrived July 9, together with the launch of its console editions and Cursed War DLC. Our friends at Maxroll have released a large update for Hell Clock 2.0 and the Cursed War DLC including recent and updated guides, a database update (adding the entire recent Skills, Relics, and Unique Blessings), and several other quality of life updates to the Hell Clock Planner, most notably, the power to upload your save and immediately share a construct!
Journey System
The free Journey of Nightmares system is ARPG seasonal content without the FOMO. With the Journey of Nightmares enabled, you possibly can encounter nightmare portals that take you to a brand new level stuffed with random foes. Defeat enough of them to spawn a boss, which drops a Unique Relic. As you progress your save file within the Journey of Nightmares, you possibly can complete tasks to unlock cosmetic rewards.
Ascension
Ascension is Hell Clock’s roguelike endgame activity. Whenever you start a brand new Ascension, you allocate penances, increasing your hell level (and the sport difficulty). Then you will have five runs to beat the Floor 21 boss. Every time you do that you earn a further three runs. Complete this 3 times (before running out of attempts) and also you win the ascension.
Countless Nightmares
Countless Nightmares offers recent randomized areas and 16 tiers of difficulty that happen in randomized zones (that are also utilized in Ascension).
- Shards of Place determine the tileset.
- Shards of Hope add reward affixes.
- Shards of Fear add dangerous debuffs.
Countless Nightmares offers higher endgame progression than the old Abyss, Oblivion, and Void. You might have quite a lot of different modifiers to administer and your Shards of Fear stack up as you complete floors. The random levels are less linear than the unique campaign, meaning you possibly can undergo them quickly or loot the side areas for Shrines or Treasure Chests. It is a free update available to anyone after they complete the campaign. Try Maxroll’s Countless Nightmares guide for suggestions and tricks on the best way to progress!
Unique Blessings
There at the moment are Unique blessings for each skill, and in contrast to other Blessings, you possibly can have as many as you wish (or a minimum of as many as you’re lucky enough to get). The Unique effects include those found on Unique Relics, or more powerful versions of Epic Blessings.
Ailment and Endurance Rework
Hell Clock 2.0 brings big changes to Ailments and Endurance. Here’s a fast TL;DR:
- Ignite now deals damage faster, as well as Oiled is not any longer removed while you ignite enemies.
- Monsters are more at risk of bleeding. The bottom damage of bleed has been doubled from 40% to 80%.
- Shock causes enemies to take 40% increased critical damage along with its current effect.
- Endurance is not any longer a probability to avoid damage. As an alternative, as much as 75% of the damage you’re taking is taken over 4s. This offers you more time to counter the damage with Potions, Life Regeneration, or Life Leech.

Latest Relics
There are dozens of latest Relics to seek out in Hell Clock 2.0. This includes fun effects for existing skills which enable entirely recent builds. Listed here are just a few examples:
- Plague Bullets converts Split Shot’s damage to Plague and causes the bullets to ricochet as an alternative of piercing.
- Propaganda drops with 2 random Corrupted implicits. Good luck rolling the right combo!
- Energized Figurine converts Veil of Quills to Lightning, and combines the entire projectiles into one which moves at high speed.
- Whenever you take damage, Belt of the Cowboy restores a portion of your Conviction based in your Evasion, making this a potent defensive option.
- Broken Mirror is an Uber Relic that provides you a everlasting clone which attacks with Repeater.
Prior to now, most skills in Hell Clock had one playstyle. With 2.0, most skills have multiple playstyles as many relics change each the damage type and the playstyle. Energized Figurine and Plague Bullets are perfect examples of this, offering you recent ways to play old favorites.
Note While many of the recent Relics are free, any Relic related to a Cursed War skill requires the DLC.
Act IV
Explore Pajeu’s past by exploring the hell of the Paraguayan war. This chapter features a recent act to the campaign, three bosses (and three mini-bosses), and a brand new story to experience. If you happen to need a beginner’s guide, or want help getting through the campaign, Maxroll has you covered!
