How the game changes
- Nightlord victories send checks once per selected boss, or per boss/character combination. A first valid victory also sends four bonus checks together; each selected expedition has separate Night 1 and Night 2 clear checks.
- Receive boss, character and Everdark Access items, plus optional randomized weapons, talismans, Murk, Runes and Sovereign Sigils. Starting Murk defaults to 12,000. Equipment and Runes wait for an eligible expedition; Murk and Sigils use the loaded hub state.
- Night Aspect is the actual default goal. Alternatives cover all selected ordinary bosses, each selected boss/character combination, ordinary bosses with any character, or a generated subset. Optional cumulative expedition-win checks are separate from these goals.
- Everdark Sovereigns now have separate Access items and checks and are included by default. They are excluded from ordinary goal groups, but their checks can hold progression. Optional DLC bosses and characters are also selected through the roster.
- Release 0.4.4 introduces beta DeathLink with off, dead and downed modes. The tracker shows goals, ownership and remaining checks; the client also records local event and receipt history. Weak/Strong pickup checks remain disabled in generation.
Before you start
- Use the paired v0.4.4 APWorld with Archipelago 0.6.7 or newer and the Windows Steam game. The shipped and tagged manifests still say World 0.4.2. The memory-reader source names game build 1.03.3.0; later patches are not established by this static review.
- Follow the maintainer's offline-game requirement: the client refuses to attach when its known EasyAntiCheat process is running. The in-game offline menu setting alone is insufficient. Keep this AP run in a fresh, separate save and do not reuse a modified save for ordinary online play.
- Select only characters and bosses from content you own. Defaults include DLC entries and Everdark Sovereigns. Everdark availability depends on external rotation, and required progression may be placed there; omit those entries for a run that does not depend on their availability.
- Keep at least one ordinary boss in All Bosses configurations. If only Everdark entries are selected, empty goal groups make the client fall back to completing all locations, contradicting the intended ordinary-boss goal behavior. Night Aspect must be included when it is the selected goal.
- Native boss flags reveal several bosses together, so a selectable boss is not necessarily unlocked for your AP slot. The client additionally withholds boss/character checks and expedition rewards when the required Access items are missing.
- Local JSON stores sent checks and delivered rewards, and reconnect replays recorded checks. Writes are not atomic and the physical game save is not tied to the AP seed/slot. Back up both save and AP state, keep them paired, and restart the client after a game-process restart if it stops detecting events.
- Native reward calls have no reliable effect acknowledgement, and some unique win/night events cannot be reconstructed after interruption. Victory transmission also has an early latch. Keep logs if checks or rewards disagree; automatic loss-free recovery is not established.
- All 25 non-manifest package files match the identified source revision after newline normalization, and the published APWorld digest was verified. The root source has an MIT licence, but it is absent from the APWorld and the bundled artwork has no complete provenance record. Supplied tests were read without executing them; no game session was run.
