Noxian Nights: Finished Version 124 Better

The original devs have given their unofficial blessing via a Discord post (now pinned): "We never got to finish the LeBlanc betrayal arc properly. The Trifarian Legion did what we couldn't. Consider 1.24 the true final cut."

As a result, the fan wiki has updated its guides to reference Version 1.24 exclusively. Mods on NexusMods are being re-uploaded with "Requires 1.24+" tags.

For the uninitiated, Noxian Nights is a fan-made tactical RPG set in the brutal empire of Noxus (from the League of Legends universe). You play as Riven, an exiled soldier, and LeBlanc, a deceptive magister, as they uncover a conspiracy involving blood magic and Sion’s resurrection. The game blends Fire Emblem-style grid combat with visual novel storytelling and multiple romance arcs.

The original was abandoned in an "almost complete" state (Version 1.18). For years, fans patched it themselves until a dedicated modding collective—calling themselves the Trifarian Legion Dev Team—took over. After 14 months of work, they released Version 1.24, marketing it as "Noxian Nights, but better." noxian nights finished version 124 better

The "better" half of the update:

| Location | How to unlock | |----------|----------------| | Slave Quarters | After arena escape, follow Aricia | | Brothel | Evening, talk to Madam in Lower City | | Noble’s Mansion | Complete brothel quest line | | Catacombs | Get key from guard captain (bribe or seduce) |

The gameplay in Noxian Nights Finished Version 1.24 is where the game truly shines. The combat system is more responsive and rewarding, with a greater emphasis on strategy and skill usage. The new skills and abilities add a fresh layer of depth to the gameplay, and the rebalanced existing skills ensure that no single character or playstyle dominates the others. Katarina:

The game's UI has also been significantly improved, making it easier to manage your characters, inventory, and quests. The game's navigation and exploration are also more streamlined, allowing you to focus on the story and gameplay.
