Ghostly Heart? ...what?

[Misery]

Ok, so, yeah, I just ran into that boss;  first time I've seen it (and boy is it wierd looking), didn't see it even ONCE in my previous world (and I went through like 5 continents).   Went into a desert mission like normal, hit a boss room, and then "What in the hell is THAT thing?!?"

Is there something I did to unlock it?  I didn't see anything like that in the unlock list, though it's possible I missed it....

I got a Ghostly Heart for every single boss in the Deep, including the Wind shelter Microbosses. What bosses ordinarily seed in the deep?

Come to think of it, I haven't seen a single deep enemy besides miasma bats in a battlefield mission.

Can you post your world folder?  I tried reproducing this locally but the first boss I saw in a boss tower in the deep was a dark dragon.

Thanks

Here's the world. Currently there are no Deep regions available as I'm stuck on the 3rd continent (No lumbermancer=>No Residential Tower=>No Wind Shelter=>No escaaaape) but here it is.

It may just be a coincidence though. I haven't been in that many situations in the Deep that would call for a boss, but all of them have had to default to Ghostly Hearts. I still haven't encountered any of the cool Deep enemies though, like the "Giant Head" or whatever it was renamed. Nor have I encountered a single utahraptor. Lava Flats, at least on continent 2, are all just Firebats and Explosive Espers.

So, wait, this thing appears when a boss room would otherwise be empty due to seeding..... so, like happens in the caves every now and then?

That's an interesting solution.

Definitely was alot nastier than some of the other bosses.   And enormous.

I kinda like the idea of "rare, special boss" though.

Yep, that's what I thought.

Coppermantis, we'll check out your world in the morning -- thanks for it!

Loaded it up, made it back to continent 2, spawned a boss tower mission in one of the deep regions, got to the first boss room, found a giant deepwoods gargan.  Roasted it with that rather efficient flamethrower you built

So can't reproduce always-ghostly-hearts.  But it may be due to recent fixes.  Anyway, thanks for the save

Wierd. Could have just been a coincidential streak. Anyway, thanks for checking it out.

The RNG just hates you.
