===ARYNTIUS UPDATE 2.2.5===
This is a moderate-sized update that buffs several endgame items in anticipation of 2.3.0, severely buffs earlygame flasks, and also tweaks major aspects of the tutorial questline.
===NEW ADDITIONS===

To use them, simply walk onto a designated platform, then crouch to go down a floor or jump to go up a floor!
