Description:

Reworks Thing from the Stars miniboss encounter.

This rework changes the Thing fight to be more interactive. Return to the Stars is now only used while the low HP buff isn’t active and it will reduce Thing’s low hp resistances each time its used. The trade off is that it will also build up battle long horror each time it is used.

While at low HP, thing will no longer continuously cure itself or cause stress damage for free with Return to the Stars, but it will increase it’s damage. Spend time in the first phase if you to lower it’s resistances in the 2nd phase in exchange for stress or smash through the first phase to reduce the stress you take at the cost of having to go through Thing’s massive protection in the 2nd phase.

Thing’s unique trinkets have all also been reworked, you can find all the details for changes below.
