Still a bit confused about challenge mode / the news update

[Myrandhir]

Hey everyone,

maybe I misunderstood the point of challenge mode in the recent news post. From how it is phrased there, the harder difficulty modes are balanced around the benefits you get from completing challenge mode (like the 4th potion slot and so on). I now completed the first 3 challenges with Persival and wanted to check if I get the benefits from there in story mode.
It is not there. I only get the 4th potion slot in challenge mode. So do I misunderstand the news post completely?

Does this just not work correctly right now? Or do the bonuses apply only after selecting "new game" in Story mode?

Something's probably broken. Please send a bug report from the game. Quite a rare situation for us, as I have the 4th bottle transferred to story mod correctly.

Thanks for the response!
I just tested it out and I got the reward after selecting "New Game" in the Campaign. Maybe it just didn't work because I had clicked "continute". Might just be a user error, sorry!

discussed with the team. It seems to us that you are playing on an old run and yes, you need to start a new game. In this case your gameplay is not lost, just the start of a new run.

Great, thanks again!
