When you load into the game after the update, you’ll see a new cutscene. It introduces a mysterious threat emerging in the forest, which turns out to be frogs. While the camera makes them look massive, in reality, they’re normal-sized but dangerous new enemies.
The main lore explanation: Frogs have invaded the forest and are gathering near a whirlpool.
New Features in the Update
1. New Enemy: Frogs
- Multiple frog species appear in the forest.
- They are tied to a new whirlpool location, which is where you’ll find them most often.
- Regular wandering frogs do not spawn everywhere — you must head towards the whirlpool to encounter them.
2. New Items & Gear
The frog update introduces several poison-based items:
- Poisonous Frog Armor – defensive gear with poison resistance.
- Poison Spears – melee spears that apply poison damage over time.
- Poison Darts – ranged weapon option using a blowpipe mechanic.
- Frog Boots – grant a higher jump ability (“put a hop in your step”).
These items can be:
- Crafted using frog drops and other resources.
- Possibly found in chests scattered around the forest, though crafting seems more reliable.
3. New Class: Poison Master
This is the star feature of the update. The Poison Master starts with unique poison-based gear and has three skill levels:
- Level 1 – All poison effects you inflict are stronger, dealing steady damage over time.
- Level 2 – Enemies have a 25% chance to spread poison upon death, turning fights into chain reactions.
- Level 3 – You deal extra damage to poisoned enemies, rewarding aggressive play with status stacking.
Starter Gear:
- Poison Armor
- Blowpipe (for darts)
This class is designed for players who like damage-over-time builds and spreading chaos among groups of enemies.
Where to Find the Frogs
- Frogs are not randomly spread throughout the map.
- They spawn near a whirlpool, which acts as their gathering spot.
- To find the whirlpool:
- Explore outward from your camp until you reach larger water zones.
- Check areas past the main fishing spot — further exploration is needed.
- Watch for water turbulence (a visual sign of the whirlpool).
Once there, expect frog encounters and opportunities to loot/craft new items.
Crafting & Resource Notes
- Items like Poison Spears, Darts, and Frog Boots will likely require frog drops plus common resources (wood, scrap, coal, etc.).
- Keep your campfire fueled with coal to manage nights while exploring further into frog territory.
- Chests scattered near the whirlpool may also hold update-related loot.
Tips for Surviving the Frog Invasion
- Prepare Before Traveling – Stock food, coal, and storage before pushing out to the whirlpool.
- Bring a Bag Upgrade – The ability to hold 15 items helps with long trips.
- Experiment With Poison Master – The class synergizes well with frogs, since poison spreads quickly in group fights.
- Don’t Waste Time Searching Near Spawn – Frogs are not near the starter camp; focus on water-based exploration.
The Frog Invasion Update adds a fresh enemy type, poison-themed gear, and a brand-new class to the game.
- Frogs are tied to a whirlpool location.
- New items focus on poison mechanics (armor, spears, darts, boots).
- The Poison Master class specializes in poison stacking and spreading.
If you’re looking to dominate this update, head to the whirlpool, fight frogs for drops, craft poison gear, and try out the new class.
