Behavior
Reached through the Tide Seal once the Left, Upper and Right sectors are done. Abyss Rite: every so often two Blight Acolytes appear in the far corners with a 40-second countdown — kill both in time, or the Tyrant throws everyone back to the Hall of Tides and heals to full. Abyss Spores: purple spores fall on the floor. Walk over one and it sticks to you; carry it onto one of the glowing slabs where the Tyrant's arms rest and it bursts there, cutting the Tyrant's attack for 30 seconds (up to three times). A spore left alone, or carried too long, bursts on whoever is near. Its death finishes Tidereach and gives every player who did a real share of the fighting three Abyss Orbs.
