🌊 Tidebloom

The tides awaken a living, glowing network hidden beneath the shore.

Walk along a beach in the Overworld, and you might discover a dark stairway leading down to a bone-grey arch covered in glowing roots.

Descend into the Tidal Grotto — a mysterious sea cave built around a pool that follows the tides. At high tide, the water rises, the roots and stone begin to bloom with light, and drifting spores fill the air. At low tide, the water recedes and the cave grows dim.

But the grotto isn't empty. Crabs scuttle along the water's edge, a hulking guardian prowls the cave, and something far more dangerous sleeps beneath the ancient anchor at the bottom.

Explore the grotto, collect unique materials, craft powerful equipment, and discover what happens when you awaken the thing lurking below.

The Thing — A Hidden Boss

After the Maelstrom Spin, the boss becomes temporarily dizzy and takes increased damage. Use this opportunity to strike back!

Crafting Recipes

Boss Fight Guide

Preparation is essential. Once the fight begins, the exit seals until the boss is defeated.

1. Find a Tidal Grotto and descend to the central pit.

2. Hit the Tide Anchor with a trident three times to awaken the boss.

3. Survive the encounter. Bring armor, food, and preferably a bow.

4. Watch for attack indicators and move out of marked areas.

5. Avoid the Maelstrom Spin and attack when the boss becomes dizzy afterward.

The boss has approximately 410 HP, with its second phase beginning at half health.

Tip: Don't rush in blindly. Learning the boss's attack patterns will give you a much better chance of survival.
