Before the release of Patch #8 in Smalland, players would often have to deal with their tamed creatures drowning in water. Thankfully, this update resolved that issue, allowing tames to appear next to the character if they submerge in water. Additionally, Malik now has an additional quest for vanguards. Completing this quest rewards players with the ability to enter and exit the Forbidden Monuments without worrying about being attacked by the Eagle. Tip: Read our Smalland Beginner’s Guide for tips and tricks to help you complete this quest. Speaking of the Eagle, your character will no longer drop loot if you die from this creature. Note that this bird typically appears if you attempt to go out of bounds. Other improvements added to the game brought by Patch #8 include adding two extra slots for the hotbar and adjustments to the animations of water interactions.
