Astral Ascent Update 1.0.15 Adjusts Gemini Challenge and Fixes Achievements

Astral Ascent update 1.0.15 introduces a Gemini challenge tutorial, adjusts challenge timing, and resolves broken Steam achievements like Multi-Classed and Pushing Limits.

Update 1.0.15 is live for Astral Ascent, implementing community-inspired changes that refine the Gemini encounter, adjust audio levels, and repair several progression-blocking achievement bugs.

Gemini Challenge and Tutorial Tweaks

A short tutorial explains the intent behind the Gemini challenge, and tutorial loot spells can no longer roll with a gambit. The time between attacks during the Gemini encounter has been slightly increased, and the attack visual for the right falling clone has been enlarged.

Bug Fixes and Achievement Repairs

The patch fixes multiple Steam achievements that failed to trigger properly, including Multi-Classed for buying Andromeda's drinks and Pushing Limits after upgrading a spell to level 15. It also resolves an incorrect description for the Beyond Horizon achievement, fixes an arena lockout during the final boss fight, and stops Octave's shadow clone Bellator from following the player into Andromeda's challenge.

Audio, Visuals, and Interface

Audio adjustments lower the spawn sound for the Spirit Sword and reduce saturation on shadow clone death sound effects. The window size for Key Chests has been increased, Aquarius ground fury attack FX are properly positioned, and heroes now play dialogue more frequently while sitting on benches.

Why this patch matters

Update 1.0.15 clears away progression bugs and fine-tunes boss encounter clarity, making achievement hunting and combat runs more reliable.
