Path of Idle: Old Gods Rising Guide & Wiki

Yes. Small Mill released the full game on Steam on August 12, 2026 for Windows and Apple-silicon macOS. The earlier demo was retired before launch. If you are comparing an old video or guide with your game, check its date and version first: several progression, talent, equipment, and automation systems changed during the launch-week patches. The official Steam announcement feed is the most reliable place to confirm the current build.

The latest official update verified by this guide is version 1.1.3, published September 28, 2026. It extends Doom to five stages, adds Codex inheritance and initial German support, removes new On-Kill Recovery rolls, gives Advanced difficulties a drop-rate increase, makes Rune and Corrupt Affixes respond to Equipment Grade, adds Golem Mastery locking, and names three fixes. The note does not publish exact drop multipliers, new Doom reward contents, inheritance merge rules, Affix formulas, or retroactive rerolls.

The full Steam description advertises six unique classes with distinct skill systems. Earlier demo material prominently showed Warrior, Hunter or Archer, and Mage, while release notes also reference Priest and Cleric skills. We avoid presenting a permanent tier list because launch patches can change individual skills. A safer team-building method is to cover three jobs—survival, reliable damage, and healing, shielding, summons, or control—then compare clear consistency on the same stage.

Follow Monument objectives until the game has introduced each major system, keep the Godsworn in your active lines equipped, and spend town resources on the system currently stopping progress. Poor recruit options point toward the Prison; level or Baptism limits point toward the Temple; weak gear points toward the Workshop; storage pressure points toward the Warehouse. Change one variable, retest the same stage, and only then make the next investment.

The Monument is the built-in objective and reward track. Follow its current tasks before optimizing systems out of order, use the Tutorial button when a requirement is unclear, claim the reward, and then identify whether the next bottleneck is combat, recruitment, equipment, storage, or a missing Exploration material. Use the installed objective text for exact requirements and rewards because public sources do not provide a verified complete table.

Yes, with caveats: Steam currently rates Path of Idle as Steam Deck Playable, not Verified. The default controller configuration can access all functionality and default graphics perform well. Steam notes that some icons are not Deck glyphs, the on-screen keyboard may need manual activation, and some text is small. Suspend and offline-reward behavior are not documented by the rating, so test that interaction separately.

Version 1.1.3 adds initial German language support. The developer explicitly warns that some German UI issues remain and says they will be improved; no completion date is given. The Steam store also lists English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese for interface and subtitles. This site's German guides remain independent and should not be treated as official localization text.

The developer announced that demo save data could carry directly into the full release. Use the same Steam account and allow Steam Cloud synchronization to finish before starting destructive troubleshooting. If progress is missing, record the game version and platform, restart Steam, and use the official Steam Community discussion area. Do not download replacement saves or executables from third-party guide sites.

Automate the repetitive action you already understand rather than enabling every rule at once. Version 1.0.7 expanded Market and Prison automation and added Outlands plane switching and Exploration level settings. Configure one rule, observe at least one complete cycle, check inventory and resource results, and only then add another. Conservative filters are especially important before a long idle session because an unfamiliar set or build-enabling item can be more valuable than its level suggests.

Check class and weapon requirements first, then compare useful base attributes, ordinary affixes, rare or legendary effects, sockets, and set bonuses. Rarity alone does not decide the winner. Removing one set piece may disable a valuable bonus, while a lower-level item may support the exact damage type or skill used by a Godsworn. Forge only after the candidate wins the complete comparison, since launch resources are expensive to recover.

Reset Talents when moving from a build before version 1.0.5: that patch changed Blessing to grant one Talent Point every five levels, up to six, and the developer explicitly told players to reset so the points apply. Version 1.0.11 separately fixed missing Talent points caused by Inspire or Baptism. Update and recheck first, but do not assume the patch automatically repairs every previously affected save because the official notes do not promise that.

Write down the installed game version, operating system, exact screen, action immediately before the problem, and whether it repeats after a restart. Include the relevant chapter, class, town building, item, skill, or automation rule and attach a screenshot or short video when possible. Update first, because version 1.0.7 already fixed possible Baptism errors and Chapter 20 map artifacts. Submit the report through the developer's official Steam channel rather than an unrelated download site.

No universal full-release team has enough stable evidence to be presented as permanent. Enemy composition, available recruits, equipment, talents, and frequent balance patches all affect results. Build a durable frontline, a dependable damage source, and utility; then test alternatives on the same stage with comparable gear. Record survival and clear consistency over several attempts instead of choosing a team from one unusually fast or lucky fight.

Use the tooltip in your installed build for current coefficients, requirements, costs, and effects, then compare it with the latest official Steam announcement. SteamDB is useful for public history but is not a strategy authority. This site focuses on verified systems and decision methods and deliberately avoids inventing undocumented rune recipes, skill values, or drop tables when a reliable source is unavailable.

If it disappeared after Right Click or Put In, check the tabs at the bottom of the Warehouse first: a developer-resolved report found the loot in a Vault tab or favorites list. For other cases, pause automation and check categories, filters, equipped Godsworn, recent actions, and the full-Vault replacement rule before reporting it.

Check the current skill's weapon requirement, damage family, tags, and displayed scaling lines first. If neither the tooltip nor an official patch documents the relationship, change only that item or affix and compare several attempts on the same stage. Public sources do not establish one complete universal damage formula.
