Check Out the Finale of Fallen Tear: The Ascension's Early Access Community Challenge in our Latest YouTube Video

About a week ago, Winter Crew Studios issued an official community challenge for Fallen Tear: The Ascension, inviting players who had enjoyed the Early Access (alongside newcomers) to check out the game. Those who could beat it would be immortalised in-game as a statue — you can learn more about that in our news piece here.

In our latest YouTube video posted on the GameGrin channel, you can check out how I completed the challenge. Essentially, players were tasked with fighting the final two bosses in the experience, with neither of them having been tuned down to the expected Fallen Tear: The Ascension strength and stats of the Early Access release.

While the challenge concluded as of the 31st of March, and an update has been released to balance the final boss of the Early Access, we wanted to share a look at the pre-nerfed version of Y'mara - Fire Goddess, and her subsequent defeat. The creative director and level designer, StephenCMD, confirmed in the community-challenge Discord that plenty of elements of her combat, including some troublesome elements of the second stage, will be more manageable after the full release.

Congratulations to all of the winners who completed the challenge, and to those coming into the news piece from the future, you can check out the full battle — in all three stages — embedded above. Fallen Tear: The Ascension is out now on Steam Early Access as of the 17th of March 2026.
