- Fixed a bug which caused Metamorph bosses to become unfreezable. They can once again be frozen, however they have a higher ailment threshold relative to map bosses with similar amounts of Life.

- Prevented the storms in The Awakener fight from being able to occupy the space near the arena entrance, so you no longer can enter and be inside a storm.

Final Conqueror of the Atlas’ boss fight:

- Tane Octavius no longer shows up near area transitions that are not yet enabled. This fixes common annoyances in the Merveil and Vaal Oversoul encounters (among others).
- Reduced the chance of receiving the Cadiro outcome from Metamorph’s Perandus rewards as it was more common than intended. Reduced the number of stacks of Perandus Coins that drop from the Cadiro outcome, but doubled the amount of coins in each stack.

- Fixed a bug where Reward Symbols would be visible in the Metamorph UI, but it did not have text describing what the reward would be.
