Official errata

By SeraphElessar, in Arkham Horror Second Edition

Hello all, another new player here.

I'm looking for the official errata page. The only one I can seem to find through google and this site's search function is version 1.12. However I have seen some posts that seem to indicate that it goes as far up as 1.17. Where can I find the most recent information?

Thanks!

Errr... The most recent version of the proto-FAQ is not available online. If you have a specific question, ask and someone here might know the answer.

Thanks for the response. I don't really have a specific question now, but I will be sure to ask if I do have one.

I've been reading the forums here, particularly the threads about misprints and errors, and I was just wondering if there was one place where they were all conveniently listed.

Maybe you were referring to Zeb's reference sheet. The 1.17 release can be found here (maybe it's not the errata you were referring to, but it's the only 1.17 thing that came to my mind. In case, apologies)

Thanks for the post. This is a great compilation of rules and they do clear a few things up for me. I will be referring to them in the future when we are confused about a rule.

The errata I was looking for, however, has to do with errors on cards. For example, an encounter at the Silver Twilight Lodge from the Curse of the Dark Pharaoh expansion says this:

The lights go out; you hear chanting and feel a knife at your throat. You may:

1) Flee. Lose 1 Stamina and move to the street.
2) Allow them to cast their ritual upon you. Lose 2 Stamina, but take the Visions card and gain 1 Clue token.
3) Attempt to take control of the ritual with a Lore (-1) check. If you pass, the Lodge offers you a Silver Twilight Membership.

However, the third option should also have this added on:

If you fail, lose 3 Stamina, all Spells, and move to the street.

There's also the whole confusion of the Mask of the Three Fates vs the Triune Mask.

So that's the kind of errors I was looking for. If you know any more errors like this, please let me know!

I can think of a few Dark Pharaoh ones off the top of my head.

  • There is an Inner Sanctum encounter that refers to the Triune Mask. It is referring to the "Mask of the Three Fates."
  • There is a Train Station encounter where you discard an item and make a luck check drawing unique (or exhibit items I think) equal to the number of successes and keeping one. If you get NO successes on this check, you have to do it all again but drawing for common items this time. That means that you have to discard a second item before making the roll. If you fail this check, you come away with nothing.
  • There is a Newspaper encounter that talks about doing an exposé on a monster hunter, and you can discard monster trophies to gain $1 or 2 clues per toughness. It is supposed to be $2 or 1 clue, and you can receive a combination of the two rewards.
  • Remember that Wilson Richards officially has a Focus of 4, which is important for encounters such as "gain clues equal to your focus."
  • You do not use the Epic Battle variant if you do one-on-one battle with an Ancient One via a dual-color gate card.
  • If you discard a Unique item or exhaust an Exhibit item to stave off the effects of the Cursed Relics rumor, the doom token on the rumor is discarded. The text as written would lead you to leave it on the rumor, making it impossible to pass.

There is a Police Station encounter from the base game where you can obtain Dingby's .45 Revolver. It meant the .38 Revolver.

The Terrible Old Man and Herbert West allies from Kingsport are supposed to be discarded when the Ancient One awakens.

Thanks for the info! That's exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for.

If anyone knows of any more errors like this, please feel free to post!
