Do ALL difficulties now unlock when Loghorrean defeated?

[Blight_Fiend]

I have not used a merit on this latest build but elite and ultimate difficulties are now unlocked when Loghorrean defeated on normal only. ver 1.2. Did I miss something in the change log?

OOOOoookay. I’ll have to look. I just saw a wall of itemization stuff. Not a fundamental game change.

there’s a lot of fundamental changes in the changelog Grim Dawn Version v1.2.0.0 coming November 16th!

anywhere, here’s the mention of difficulty unlock

• Defeating the Loghorrean on Normal/Veteran difficulty now unlocks Elite and Ultimate difficulty for that character (note: this difficulty unlock is not retroactive). Players can proceed to the difficulty they feel most ready for.
• Completing a quest that grants Skill or Attribute points on a higher difficulty (Elite or Ultimate) will now reward you the Skill and Attribute points from the lower difficulties as well (ex. completing Kasparov’s Pocket Portal on Ultimate will also grant skill points from the Normal/Elite difficulty quests if you skipped them).

Just saw that changed on 11/3. I can’t believe I just noticed this. So HC beware! Could be tempting and dangerous.

While we are at it, i’m curious… does HC also have the Skip-Merits?

ofc
there is no difference between SC or HC besides perma death
