Mechanics

Key Changes in the Uber Eater Encounter:

Area Mod: Monsters take 70% less damage, drastically increasing the time and effort required to defeat enemies.

Enhanced Eater of Worlds Abilities:

Default Tentacle Attack: Now attacks in a small ring, dealing overlapping damage, which increases the risk of being hit multiple times.
Tentacle Slams: These slams are wider and have different patterns, including a long wall and a six-sided star, making them harder to avoid.
Doom Phase: Always spawns the maximum number of activatable spheres, with Tentacle Slams occurring during the charging phase, adding complexity to this phase.
Lightning Beam: Now tracks the player and repeats two additional times, requiring precise movement and timing to avoid.
Sphere Slams: These slams have a much larger area of effect, making them more difficult to dodge.
