Expeditions: Samurai Version 0.6.1 Patch Notes
Expeditions: Samurai version 0.6.1 lowers difficulty on lower settings for several encounters, adds missing resources, and resolves numerous co-op and inventory bugs.
A new patch for Expeditions: Samurai adjusts encounter difficulty and fixes a broad range of bugs following Early Access Update 1.
Encounter Difficulty and Balance
Developers reduced difficulty on lower settings across multiple encounters by decreasing enemy counts. Affected areas include the Derelict Carrack, the Portuguese encounter in Kurokawa, the House of Whispers, Dom Sancho's Manor, Kanseidō Shrine, and the Spaniard's Hacienda. Act 1 now provides additional first aid items for players who missed the initial ship chest, and gold drops appear in Ikigai and the Derelict Carrack.
Character and Combat Adjustments
Kage is now controllable during the House of Whispers fight, and Piet joins the battle after three rounds. Tanaka gains two allies with difficulty-dependent classes in the Derelict Ship, replenishes Guard at checkpoints, and his allies will let players loot and carry him out if he dies. Ranged default exploration attacks now forcibly enter characters into combat if the target is already engaged, and the Dual Stab ability uses the correct damage type.
Quests, Inventory, and Visual Fixes
The quest Let Fall Our Anchor now correctly removes and returns player inventory and equipped weapons. Enemies in the Spanish Hacienda can no longer be farmed for loot. Foliage no longer blocks attacks erroneously, burgonet open and close visuals are no longer swapped, and materials on the Intermediate Outlaw and Deckhands Defiance outfits are corrected.
Co-op Fixes
Client players will now see correct skill updates in Piet's dialogue during Perils on the Sea. Both main characters are correctly added to the recreation room conversation in the same quest. Client display issues showing the host's name, avatar, and speaker names during dialogue choices are also resolved.
Why this patch matters
Version 0.6.1 smooths out early access rough spots by dialing back lower-tier encounter difficulty and ironing out multiplayer bugs.
